If you have or can get hold of Star Trek Armada 2 you got to get this, new graphics and races, decent balance and ships matter much more with battles lasting longer like you would expect, goes well beyond what Armada 2 could have been, it brings back some of the good points about the first game while adding and changing so much its like a new game, it shows their dedication when they've been working on this since the game came out which is around 8 years ago now! :eek::D

Funny I posted about that mod on another forum only a few weeks back. :p

Tis awesome mod, but it's nothing like the original Armada 2 if that's what anyone is thinking.
 
I'm getting desperate for Birth of the Federation 2, i still play a modded original even all these years after it was released. BUt a new one, if done correctly would be simply awesome.

Which is a good thing. ;)

A2 was alright but it didn't feel quite the same as A1 because of various things like warp and the 3rd dimension added, being based in space you would think that's a good thing but in an rts and after A1 it felt somehow wrong.

Ha! I installed that a few weeks ago for a blast :)

It's never as good as you remember it to be but was still good fun.

There are a few independent guys working on BOTF2 but as with all independent free games it takes an extremely long time.

Who has the rights now adays? Paramount are very strict with licensing it out.

Yeah, loved that game.

But I really hated the huge memory leak issue that would grind your game to a stand still.

I'd be happy to see a sequel.

no idea, but most independant games/mods never seem to feel like completed games TBH, shame since star trek has a huge universe, huge following and lots of exotic technology to make another 4X game
 
I am thinking about trying this out. Is it worth me installing the game and all that stuff?

Is there any campaigns or multiplayer?
 
Thought this was worth a bump, they've released a new version recently that improved the gui (which was much needed) plus lots of other things, so check it out if you like star trek or strategy's in general, if you don't have the game try to get hold of it somehow, im pretty sure they've not sold it in years so make of that what you will, for such a great mod it doesn't get the attention it deserves! :)
