Star
Trek: Armada 2 is the sequel
to the Star Trek real-time strategy title Star
Trek: Armada. An innovative RTS, Star Trek:
Armada 2 adds a new level of strategy and realism to
the original by allowing players to command from a 3-D
tactical view. Set in The Next Generation
universe, the game's story unfolds through three
single-player campaigns from the Federation, Klingon,
and Borg perspective. Additionally, the Cardassians,
Romulans, and Species 8472 will join the fray
throughout.
The sequel also features more armada
than before. Sweeping 3-D gameplay immerses gamers in a
universe of space, supremacy, and survival with more
ships, longer campaigns, and all-out battles. You can
arrange fleets in many different 3-D formations with up
to 16 ships, which dramatically affect strategic and
tactical decisions. The outcome of every encounter
depends on the player's ability to manage resources,
crew, and fleets of ships across the galaxy.
Players command the fleets of three
different races through three separate single-player
campaigns for a total of 30 missions. Additionally,
gamers can take control of six separate races in
multiplayer mode. Each has divergent combat styles and
tactical approaches. Other noncombatant aliens such as
the Ferengi make for willing trade partners. Gamers
become fully immersed in the explosive battles with the
addition of the tactical view mode, a ship-to-ship
combat viewer that allows you to control fleets from on
top of the action.
Features/Specifications
As in Star Trek Armada, the player
has the ability to command large numbers of ships in
a top down interactive environment
Star Trek Armada II takes the
concept to it's logical conclusion by allowing the
player to also experience the game in a full 3D
mode, so the battles and elements of space conquest
and exploration take on the vividness of the best of
Star Trek
With over 45 new ship classes, 22
new special weapons, over 30 new stations, building
a devastating armada has been taken to a new level
The universe has been further
brought to life with the addition of planets to be
colonized, additional types of resources to be
utilized, and a detailed trading and economics model
A powerful armada must have the
infrastructure to support it, so the player is given
the resources and knowledge to make full use of this
rich new universe
With over 30 Multiplayer maps to
choose from, players can test their skills against
up to seven other players
In addition to the Single Player
races (Federation, Klingon, Borg), the Multiplayer
side of Star Trek Armada II allows players to match
wits and armadas as the Romulan Star Empire, the
Cardassian Union, and as Species 8472, each with
their own unique compliments of ships, stations, and
special weapons
Like in the Star Trek universe
itself, success in Star Trek Armada II depends on
careful strategy, deft decision making, and quick
reactions
The scope of the game brings all
this and more into the hands of the player
At the heart of Star Trek Armada II
are the most exciting elements from the Star Trek
episodes and movies - leading fleets of starships
into combat, exploring new planetary systems
throughout the Alpha and Delta Quadrants, and
carefully treading the delicate balance between
peace and war among six different races.
