Unfortunately, these pirate factions are really different from each other in name only since they all have the same interface, the same types of ships, and the same overall objectives as all the rest. Orion Pirates uses the same single-player interface as Volume II.Īs the title indicates, several pirate factions have been thrown into the mix along with all of the other races from Starfleet Command Volume II such as the Klingons, the Federation, the Romulans, and others. Orion Pirates has an impressive amount of content for a stand-alone expansion, so it's great for new players but ardent fans of Starfleet Command Volume II will merely find more of the same, making it more difficult to justify purchasing. You don't need the original game to play it, either. The new official expansion to Starfleet Command Volume II, Orion Pirates, includes a fully functional Dynaverse II mode out of the box, and it also contains new skirmishes, a new race, gameplay improvements, and basically all of the features of the original game. Fortunately, the development team eventually got around to releasing a patch that fixed the Dynaverse II problems, among other things, but the damage was done, and Starfleet Command Volume II's most intriguing feature went largely unnoticed by the gaming public. Dynaverse II is a semipersistent universe where you can travel through the universe as any one of the races in the game, engage in battles with other players, and work your way up to getting new and more powerful ships. When Starfleet Command Volume II was originally released late last year, one of its most highly touted features, Dynaverse II, was not functional because of some last-minute changes by the company originally providing the service.
