Star Trek: Armada Intro

[@crystaldragon6408]

Only Klingons would board a Borg ship

[@Contemplativeman101]

You know, given the relative strength of Klingons and their bladed weapons, they can do more damage than with just phased weapons

[@michaelloftus565]

And Captain Janeway.

[@AllknowingUnknown]

Crystal Dragon After seeing what damage Worf did with his Mek'Leth in first contact I'd say it's the most effective way of disabling a Borg vessel.. 😄

[@raven4k998]

Klingon's don't disable they would just blow the ship up killing all borg in their way

[@floydjohnson7888]

A coup attempt within the Klingon Empire? Oh (expletive).

[@tetefather]

Little trivia for y'all: The Starfleet vs Borg fleet battle in this cinematic was actually how the First Contact movie Borg battle was supposed to be. The Borg was to come with a whole fleet instead of a single cube and the bouncing torpedo you see the Akira class fires in the cinematic was the new quantum torpedo that was to turn the tide of battle. They cut it all because of budget constraints but you can still read it from the original script they had that you can find on the internet.

[@tehguitarque]

That's cool! Akiras were always my favorite starfleet warship. The one special weapon that is laughable in terms of every being in a movie is the duplication that the nebula can do. Though it's hilarious to see and try to take seriously.

[@Sovereign01]

The chain reaction pulsar. They nerfed it for the sequel because it was apparently OP. The Nebula's ability is called the Gemini effect that creates a duplicate of a target that lasts about 10 seconds. It also works when used against an enemy ship, the duplicate fights on the side of whoever created it.

[@Gentleman...Driver]

@@Sovereign01 Never knew you could duplicate an enemy ship, too. I have spent hundreds of hours in this game. lol

[@Sovereign01]

@@Gentleman...Driver I remember using it against a cube in the campaign; because it starts out with no energy the duplicate can't use its special weapon. I got and played the hell out of all the Activision Trek titles, except ConQuest online! 😂

I'm still pissed the Dominion were left out of both Armada I and II. The mod Operational Fleets added them, but as a drawback, it turned the Cardassians and Species 8472 into mere NPCs. COME ON!! I want a full out battle between Cardassia and the Dominion!

[@gamepad3173]

[@johndoe-ek1qs]

I liked insurrection!

[@TheKnightOfSmite]

This was part of the action 2000's route they wanted to steer Trek in (Picard as action hero) but by then the actors were getting tired of doing it. Patrick Stewart later would only return if Picard had any meaning development which he says he wanted to close his story 20 years later, Brent Spiner was getting tired of playing Data and wanted to end his story. Both stories eventually were revisited later in Picard series to give it a send off (even though I don't like that series in particular). The movies also were severely cash strapped also, CGI cost a ton back then to do and to add to that Star Trek has a stupid amount of animatronics that a lot of it was talking, some action sequences, some clever ship fights like Scimitar battle. Nemesis flopped though and that was the end of that Trek era. First Contact meant closure on the Borg stuff but that movie was successful.

[@NinjoXEnlightened]

[@assemblyrequired7342]

Okay, I really like that Pulsar Chain Reaction and Gemini Effect. They'd definitely be useful against Star Destroyers. I'm totally having those tactics used in a fan fiction I'm typing.

[@SirBroadsword]

How'd your fanfic go, dude? I should point out though that the Federation doesn't need any fancy tricks to best the Galactic Empire. The Empire's ships are hideously slow at sublight, and whilst an ISD arguably has comparable firepower and endurance to Federation capital ships, its weapons are so short-ranged and inaccurate that the Federation ship would have to obligingly sit rock-still at almost literal spitting distance for the ISD to have a chance. If they did what the USS Phoenix did in TNG: The Wounded and slung photon torpedoes at the ISD from 200,000 km away, the ISD wouldn't even be able to return fire. And the fighters are absolutely laughable, to the point where I often imagine a Federation captain beaming all of the pilots from the _unshielded_ TIEs approaching his vessel directly to his cargo bay (since there'd be too many to fit in the brig) as a show of dominance in an effort to convince the ISD's captain to surrender.

[@Deadeye313]

@@SirBroadsword ISDs are actually quite fast, they were able to chase the millennium falcon despite even its reputed speed, they just can't maneuver as fast, hence the tactic of putting two in front of it while one chased it. And if one little hammerhead Corvette can move one ISD into another with enough force to destroy both, imagine the force that the ISD has available to move its hulking mass.

[@SirBroadsword]

[@R8erNation636]

Ya know, it's weird, the gameplay and graphics in Armada 2 were better, but I enjoyed the first one more. Partly because of this badass intro (anybody notice the end is veeeeeery similar to the part of First Contact where the Enterprise arrives at the battle?), but also I loved how epic the story felt. The fact that it picked up some of its plot threads from DS9 and Voyager helped too.

[@senatus]

Same here! The later missions in A1 got pretty goofy -- sloppy as A2's conclusion was, I thought it was far better than A1 after the first few acts -- but A1 was definitely better. Individual ships actually counted for something. In A2, there was little point in building all but the heaviest ships en masse, with the occasional ship with "special abilities." Even then, it seemed he who built the most heavy-hitting craft (Negh'Vars, D'Deridexii, Sovereigns, Keldons, 8 combiner Tac Cubes and I can't even remember the S8472 equivalents) the fastest would win. Superweapons could play a part, but in my experience, they'd just delay the inevitable ... sometimes, they'd turn the tide long enough for the Romulans or Klingons to rebuild and offer a solid second round of resistance, but against hordes of top-notch Federation craft, several dozen of those mega-cubes or tons of Undine ships ... eh, like I was about to say: valiant are they who refuse surrender, even if they prove tomorrow's tender vittles :)

[@AllknowingUnknown]

I agree 9000 PERCENT!

[@tetefather]

The original battle of sector 001 was supposed to be something very very similar to the Armada intro. They scrapped it and went with the current version because of the CGI costs. The quantum torpedo was supposed to be the ultimate new anti-Borg weapon Starfleet devised.

The Akira weapon was some sort of chain reaction torpedo that increases in power with every target it hits. The second target is hit harder than the first, third harder than the second, etc.

[@BNuts]

@@redpillfreedom6692 Okay, that's cool. But I can see why Cryptic wouldn't give players that in _STO_ .

The weapon of the Akira was the "Chain reaction pulsar" and it was supposed to be the quantum torpedoe in the script of the movie "First Contact". Because of budget cuts they never showed it in the movie like this, instead they just changed the colour from the photon torpedoe from orange to blue and called it a day. lol The Nebula-Class ship fired the "Gemini effect" - its a temporal weapon. It duplicates any ship its fired on for a few seconds.

You'll need an Armada II disc inserted or an Armada II image mounted in order to play it. There's also the Star Trek: Armada III mod for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion. The mechanics are more involved than the old Armada games, but it does a great job at converting the game into an authentic Star Trek experience.
