With the help of navigation, the ship is transported through the warp to the desired point on the map. There is even a system of communication. And many more. On the planet, this is all represented in the form of movement through the building (s). When you hit a certain room or room, the player again has to choose from the appeared menus the necessary action, etc. However, the ship is controlled manually, i.e. The player personally sets the direction of movement, without any choice through the menu. All this is decorated as a bridge of the starfleet ship. In front of the player is a large screen, which displays all the information, as well as the actions that make it feel like a real captain.
