Star Trek Armada is a robust game with many challenges. I have played for about 6 months now and the first recomendation I have is to pay close attention to the minimum system requirements. Believe me if you have the minimum it's just not enough. I started out with an Intel board with the 810 chipset (on-board) for graphics, 64 MB Ram and a 400 MHz processor. The game locked up frequently, was slow to install and even slower to play. This is because of Intel's chipset problems with shared graphics memory. It draws off system RAM. I purchased an old used HP Pavilion and upgraded to an 500 MHz Celeron. I added 96 MB of Ram and installed a 32 MB Diamond Stealth 3 Extreme Graphics card. What a difference this made in not only how the game played but how much fun it is to play the game. The game loads fast, doesn't crash anymore and now I can play on-line in multiple player games that I couldn't even access before without locking up my computer. Like I said, the minimum system requirements listed on the game should be at least double what's listed for a truely enjoyable experience. With my upgrades I've even been able to install AND RUN beta modifications. The increase in ship/station offerings add another dimension to the game. Too bad ACTIVISION doesn't support these modifications or enlist these individuals to write ARMADA 2.

Very Good

I would definetly reccomend this game to any Star Trek fans. It has awesome single player gameplay, with the ability to be Borg, Federation, Klingon, or Romulan, and the Multiplayer ability is better. AWESOME GAME!!!

Excellent game, good action and good graphics. Trekkies will, of course, love it. Its like a Star Trek version of Age of Empires.

This Game Is Certianly Worthwhile

All Star Trek Games used to suck. But this one is good. It is worth every penny of it. So get this game before you get assmilated!

Where are all the Intrepid-Class ships at?

I was unimpressed with this game. The races are too similar to each other. The ships within each race do not differ much except in size. Mouse control is painfully sluggish. Space is two-dimensional - ...Resource collection is uncreative. Several ship classes are missing, such as the Intrepids. Only 8 ships can be selected at a time. Whether I played the Borg or the Federation, I got the feeling that I was just building the same things with different graphics in a [copy] of Starcraft.

Generally, a rather half-hearted effort at a real-time strategy game. It's not bad, really, it's just that there are much better games out there. Like Armada II.

There is a magic ruel abaut star trek games - thay all usualy very bad and unfotunnetly this game is no exseption. I'm a big star trek fan and i had hopes for this game becouse it was suposed to be a good RTS game but it is'nt. first of all the it has lot's of anoying bugs it is very slow and it is on the level of warcraft2(1995) in the matter of groups and above all the price is astronomic for a game like this and i would recomend keep distance from this game.

A great disapointment from activision

Ive expected moch more from activision: 1) The campaign is very short (star-craft has 10 missions for each race armada has 4). 2) Maybe the units look diferent but thay ate identical in their parameters (like warcraft 1,2,exspension set 1993-1995). 3) The game has still the look from above that is tipical to old games such as red alert 1, dune 2000, red alert tibirian sun and so on. 4) there ere very limited ships to each of the races.

the only good thing of this game is the fact that it is STAR TREK but i'm no sure that this game deserves to carry this great name.

Best for trekers

I bought the game and then I could not use it for a couple of days due to my video chipset was not compliant, but the patch was already on the net to download. I am running this on a 500mhz,128mb,20gb,19"mon. and it runs fine. I took the game to work and ran it on a computer that was near the system requirements 200mhz,64mb,2gb,17"mon. (except no 3D accelator) and it drops almost all the detail in graphics (which makes it kinda ugly).

As far as Star Trek video games go, I liked this one the best because you can be more creative and control the game the way you think the game should be played (kinda). I gave this five stars because I am a big star trek fan and I love command and conquer which is like this game, so I get the best of both areas.

Final point. If you are a hard core gamer and don't care anything about star trek then maybe download the demo(70mb) to tryout first. But if you are a star trek fan and like video games this is a sure winner. (p.s. make sure your computer exceedes the min. requirements)

Best Trek game Ever

Hey I'm a bit of a Trekkie, but this games is something of a (terrible) dissapointment. Is it just me, or are a lot of people trying to make money utilizing the magnificent star trek universe? Don't waste your money on this :(
