The Borg have made a comeback! A future spacecraft has manifested to warn of the current Borg danger. You command the fleets of Federation, Klingon, Romulan, and Borg ships engaged in this epic conflict. Construct starships, space stations, and conduct research on specific weaponry to aid your side in victory. You'll have to endure a Klingon civil war, Romulan intrigue, and the Borg's quest for perfection along the way. The future is entirely within your control. Star Trek: Armada is the first real-time three-dimensional strategy game based in the Star Trek world.
Additionally, after a period of time, a small Borg-Trupp appears in the S14dosten. Initially, there are many smaller vessels, followed by one larger vessel every attack wave. Additionally, upon the arrival of a ship, one hears the classic Borg-Geplapper, which serves as a constant warning. If one continues on the path to the Treffpunkt, one is once again shown many Klingon ships to the west. They cackle in the nose of a Wurmloch and attempt to dissuade approaching ships by activating the repulsion field of a Fek'Lhr-Kreutzer. Without propulsion, the stricken ships are sucked into the Wurmloch and destroyed. Therefore, do not bring Selas Kreutzer or the Indmmungsschiff forward. Instead, send a few unarmed ships to the Klingons and approach them from above, while approaching from below with a shadow and reactivating the Holo-Emitter. If this stumbling block is also overcome, the last remaining obstacle is the Asteroidenfeld in the north. While one may use the Wurmlcher to evade the Klingon ships, one should have little difficulty annihilating the few Klingon patrouilles with the three Warbirds.

This is rather intriguing. I haven't tried it yet since Armada runs well on my ancient XP PC, but this definitely opens up a lot of options. Indeed, with the completion of FT imminent, this is really great news. I'm curious as to the difficulty of updating the graphics engine to operate on newer graphics cards. Armada I utilizes DirectX 6, Armada II uses DirectX 8, and the majority of GPUs are already shipping with DirectX 11. lol One cannot be overly optimistic about the possibility of resolving the graphics tearing and similar issues unless someone has strong connections in the game engine industry.
At least that is the notion - in reality, I observed a very huge Ferengi problem not once, but twice, while playing Star Trek: Armada. Not only did a Ferengi ship capture one of my ships that was fully crewed by Borg who had recently been assimilated, but when the Ferengi ship traversed an asteroid belt, the Ferengi ship passed through without incident, but my ship became stuck behind an asteroid, forcing the Ferengi's blue tractor beam to stretch and stretch. Until, no, my spacecraft did not escape; it was strangely sucked into a solid asteroid and vanished off the chart. Borg's buggy
