Sup guys,
Gonna start saying that my friends and I LOVE this game. We're using it as a teaching tool for teamwork and the people love it.
I do have a question. When you start a serverm all the server got is a main screen. Is it possible to change the screen to for example the Captain's Map or Science?
The server screen is locked into the main screen, with front, left, right, and rear views. You can also change it to long range, tactical or status view via one of the viewscreen commands available to Helm and Weapons.
I often start up a client on the server machine and give it the Main Screen and Captain's map. Set the Server Main to Status or Tactical full time, switch between the Server/Client as necessary :)
I like to start a client on the server machine and give it the Observer Screen. This give me a cinematic view of the ship and lets the computer decide what's the most interesting thing to put on the screen. Then we usually put Tactical or LRS on the Main Screen. This gives the crew the info we need and observers something interesting to look at.
