 The COVID shutdown gave us plenty of time to dream up plans for what an ideal simulation facility would look like, and as soon as restrictions began to ease we decided to put those plans into effect. Here are the first pics from the ISDC Academy's new simulation facility, showing the new sim (the first of two) in all of its moody glory.

Actually, the art-house look wasn't intended... the sims are carefully lit to avoid glare and focus attention on the touchscreen consoles, and it turns out that's not enough light for photos. So we'll go back and fire up a few more lights so you can see the sim room properly.

From top: View from the Conn; EMDAR console with helm in background.But in the meantime, you don't have to just imagine yourself and your crew here, hunting down an enemy ship or fending off a surprise attack. The facility is fully operational for navigation and tactical simulations, with new systems being continually added (torpedoes are the next system due for delivery).

Video-based training courses are available right now to show you how to use all of this kit, and with that completed you and your crew will be able to book simulator time directly.

Check out the Academy for how to train and get yourself on the simulators.
