When i originally bought Star Trek Armada and Star Trek Voyager I payed [$$]each for them. i was surprised to see the price dropped so quickly for a aweosme bundle like this.
STVoayer may get boring after a while but the exp pack adds a few new thing and the holomatch is never boring.
Star trek Aramda is not boring. it is never the same new missions, new places to build etc.
Star Trek Armada 2 is very confusing to me and hard to manueve
If just want ST VOyager Elite force+ exp pack and Armada get this. it's a great deal!

Not the fun it claims to be!

As an incurable Trekker who loves all things Star Trek I purchased this game thinking it would be lots of fun to play, but found it extrememly limiting. One has to be quite computer savvy to close applications to get it to work marginally faster than snail pace. Although I have a brand new computer with a great processor, large hard drive and lots of memory and all the 'bells and whistles' I found this game 'eats' so much memory that it takes forever to get your ship across the quadrant. It certainly is a game where you can cook dinner, do the laundry and shop for groceries while your ship and crew fly the 'deep space' mission and still arrive back in time to make the important decisions about where you're going to send the crew next. The 'still' graphics are okay but the 'animation'is pitiful. The one great feature is the sound effects and the Star Trek music. After you've run through all the pre-set missions there's 'nothing new on the horizon'. I'm not into programming so that was the end of the game as I couldn't compose my own missions. I found it was a nighmare trying to 'make' my own crew by importing images and bios and finally gave up in frustration. There's no scope for upgrading your ship beyond the 'default' specifications so some missions are doomed to be failures from the start as not all 'fleet' ships are capable of successfully completing all the missions. Once the missions are complete (flown) there's only one word I can think of to describe this game ... Boring!

Save your money, this game is a dog. It couldn't carry A1's lunch-box. If you liked Armada 1, you will really be shocked at how bad this game is. It reeks from top to bottom...

TOOOOOO good

this is going to be the best star trek & stratigy game out and that is before it is finnished so just think what is will be like when it is. i've seen a heck of a lot of pics and data on this game and if anyone out there thought Armada 1 was good well i say this is 100 times better and with a 3D battle field,ships,stations,nebulae and planets what else could you ask for in a game {dont answer ;p }.

this is a must for stratigy fans as well as star trek fans

No good if it doesn't work on your computer.

This game will not work on newer computers. Even though tech support sent directions to allow me to play the game it still didn't work.

Pretty Good so far...

I just bought this game and it is really great. I was expecting it to be good since it was made by Totally Games, the company that made a lot of those great Star Wars games. What was really a pleasent surprise was how quickly I was able to learn the user interface. Using the mouse, you interact with the bridge crew: just point to a station and click the mouse. There are 4 Federation ship types that you can command: Sovereign, Akula, Galaxy and another near-Galaxy class sized ship.

Just like in Klingon Academy, there is a skirmish mode where you can design your own battles. The only negative is that there is no joystick support that I can determine. The graphics and cutscenes are great.

the best Star Trek game yet!

The graphics are unbelivable and the battles are very realistic. A Star Trek gamer or not you will love this game. If I walked in and saw someone battling, I would think it was a Star Trek eposiode! It is great.

This is awesome!

This game is the perfected version of the original Star Trek Armada! It's so great to get away from games such as starcraft and age of empires whose graphics are really two dimentional. in tactical mode you can view a ship from all angles and the battles in this view are spectacular! apart from that, new resources to gather adds another element to the original game. the borg tactical fusion cube is absolutely awsome. it is also nice to get away from equal races. yes, much is the same between races, yet much is different. this game truely stands on its own without the star trek name to hold it up. it is finally a game that can give a better name to the rather unsuccessful star trek gaming industry. the original is great, but in this case the sequel is far better.

I loved SFC I. Empires at war was a game I really wanted to like. Really. It looks to be about the game game, with a better dynaverse and improved this and that. However, I could barely get the game to work. I downloaded the patch, searched and posted a decent smattering of questions online at a bunch of forums, including Tandrens. When I finally got everything working (Took over a week, btw.) I finally got into the game itself. Hooray, right? Wrong. On my first mission, I had to stop a pirate frigate. I kept shooting at the pirate's ship, lauched every missile I had, send all my shuttles against him. No luck. I spent about a half-hour trying to blow the damn thing up. I could barely make a dent in his shields. WTH! This was the first mission. With a working knowledge of SFC I, I should have had a decently easy time of doing it. But after I gave up, I tried a new campaign, with the same results. I've been told the patch should take care of this, but for some reason it doesn't. At least not for me. I also, just from looking at it for the ten minutes I've spent not wasting my time trying to hurt the godlike pirates, think the dynaverse looks pretty bland. You can't tell what system are where, there's no info on them, nada. Anyway, this game sits on my shelf, mocking me. I know I could like it, if it would work right, but it won't. Hopefully SFC III will be less of a hassle, and I can get back to enjoying Taldren's Star Trek games. Of course, now they work for Activision, publishers of such horrid Star Trek games as Hidden Evil and Armada. There is no justice. Hopefully someone will grace us with Star Trek Titles set in the TOS era in the future. Or at least I hope so. So to sum up: Stay away from SFC II, unless you have a good week or so to get it working right.

Oh so near

If you have five bad meals and then one pretty good one then that last meal probably tastes excellent. Inductively... Bridge Commander is a good game, no doubt about it. Its also, if you are like me, the kind of Star Trek game I've been looking for. Why no one thought of it sooner is beyond me. All credit is thus due to Total Games. Bravo. But as there has been such a bad slew of Trek games I kinda think that this game's been distorted from being a good game and made into a great game. As stated its good but it ain't great yet. The good news is that it has the potential to be great and I think its possible to make it so. Some of the problems that I had which marred the game.

i) The navigation, in the beginning of the game, is infuriating. The only way I got around it was by playing the Commander level. Look on the message boards: its a common complaint.
ii) It would have been nice if there was a space simulation area where you could go and experiment, and become proficient in steering with your ship, engaging in battle etc.
iii) Your ( irritating) first officer speaks on your behalf, which is infuriating in itself, but what would have been sublime is, when you come across another vessel, be given the option of steering the conversation/ course of action your way. Maybe four options: ' Do you want to a) b) c) d), or you reply i) ii) iii) iv.) Isn't diplomacy a big part of Star Trek? Imagine, for example, going on a mission and coming across a planet, in distress, but if you get involved you may break the first directive. What do you do? The possibilities are endless.
iv) The loading system, although long is acceptable. Some games take time to load. But the save system is awful. I'm not sure how to redress this but there must be a better method.
v) Back to Navigation. There's a very small map where you can see where your ship is and where surrounding objects/ ships are. Its too small. If you could enlarge it and make it more detailed it would be of great help.

Some people have commented on the fact the captain is stuck on the bridge. I don't object to this. The game is, after all, Bridge Commander and shouldn't become third person like ( not until we have the technology to breach such a grand project.)

I'm hoping now that they'll take advantage of what is a good game, iron out the wrinkles and they'll have a truly great game on their hands. The wrinkles though sully the game and prevent it from being a truly enjoyable experience.
