Final Comments
Each station has their own screen, which at some point during the game you’ll need to access them. However, learning these keyboard commands is the best, most efficient way to be a Captain. Many missions will either fail, or you want get 100% if you don’t use these commands. At the time of writing the walk-through guide, I’ve already discovered this first hand. So, study up Cadet!

If you find this guide helpful, please give it a thumb up and favorite it. Please also feel free to send me a friend request, always welcoming of Star Trek fans! Look out for my complete walk-through – coming soon!

Live long and prosper!

So here's a real trick to add to the list. Obviously this cant really be done in the story due to no ships that can cloak, but in custom games with a Klingon o Romulan ship, Type C.A.R quickly.

Cloak, Alert- Red
This puts you into red alert as you're cloaking which allows you to fire you're weapons while undetected. I did this as a kid back in 98/99 in school and annoyed someone I played against. Maybe throw some Star Trek VI quotes out there at the same time.

The in-game joystick calibration is broken. Your best chance is to not do it at all and just play.
