Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

Hey, here is the first pre Beta 2 Screenshot with a new race introduced in this version - The Noxter. The shot can be found in the screenshots section under ingame -] noxter. Comment it if you like :)

i think you should first add the known races like romulans and dominion/cardassian(8472 isnt needed in my opinion ...) ... i dont like totally imagined new races ... ( or is it somewhere in the new old enterprise series ?)

the Noxter, the Eridians and the Ciadan are completly imagined.. but cause they appear in my Star Trek rpg, they stand their man in the Star Trek universe and have often been edited, since the final versions. I hope you will find them alltogether a addition to the Star Trek Universe.
The Klingons, the Borg, the Romulans and last but not least the Federation are the 'old' races, we all know well :-)
The Iconians do appear in TNG.. but cause their culture hase been 'eliminated' there isn't mutch info in TNG about them and you never see a Iconian ship or even an Iconian. Therefore the Iconians are partly imagined, but fiting to the Star Trek universe, I think..

i'm aware it is always difficult to add something to an complex system like Star Trek, and always people don't like it :-)
These new races will fit the Star Trek environment (being humanoid - except the Noxter of caurse - ; non of them will build unbelivable super weapons like 5 kilometer ships or bomps which can explode planets and stuff)

As you can read in another topic, it is undecided yet, if there will be an expansion pack which will bring the Cardassians or the Dominion to the playable races. They will be included as non playable races of course.

I hope you will enjoy playing the new races in Fleet Operations shuch as i do playing them in the RPG ;-)

ok ... i will be open for everything ... so keep on working ,the mod is really good ... by the way , will there be new sp-missions (because you spoke about non-player-races)? its not that i'm missing them... just a question ...

there won't be singel player in Fleet Operations.. the non-player races appear on maps independet from selected AI players or human players

maybe singleplayer missions will be available in the final version of fleet operations or as an addon, but it is not planned yet.

i'm looking forward to the next versions ... pehaps you could do them as special ADDONS/UPGRADES instead of making more and more 90+mb files ... we don't all have dsl-connections or flatrate ... this would be very great ... really ...

The next beta version is planned as both full version and a upgrade version from beta 1.1. Also there will be an improved compression system used making the file size about 10% smaller.

oh ... thats sounds good ... anyway i have to download the 1.1 beta ... sh.. .

yea, beta 1.0 was not updatable because of an installer error ending with all installed versions are different from ones on other computers

Noxter looks great, Awsome jod with the textures. 2.0 looks to be just as good as 1.1, great job and keep up the good work. :D  

i can't wait for the new races  :D  (and updated ai) any time table of when you might be finished?

could be end june +- 1 week when all things go right

Sounds good to me...new AI is what I'm waiting for....:D

is it that bad now?  :)
Why don't you play it online then?  

well i cant wait for 2.0 as i really wanna play it bad too bad i aint got the time to play 1.1 as i got Exams   :cry:  

ya well its kinda boring having just interceptor/sabres/b'rels attack you, i'm open for multiplayer game(s) though, i check my emial and YMSG often so if you wanna play send me time (on email YMSG or PM) when you'l be on and your name and i'll play ya. i can play any day anytime, cept sundays when i'm busy all day. my email is ijbarrow@yahoo.com and my YMSG is ijbarrow.

I think the AI is good now a little tweeking but other than that it's good to me.

I DO play it online and am so far undefeated.

you mean people actually play it online, never found anyone outside of these forums to play fleetops.

alright Tiberius don't rub it in! :blush:  

i agree with patches and think that after final relese patches should still be availible to addon with diferent aditions and other stuff like a realizm mod 4 the borg. increaded build times on cubes and recuiring more crew bu being a hell of alot stronger. taking an armada of ships to kill 1. but having a very slow build time like 5 min per cube. Theres expantion packs that could include more maps new ships technolodgies weapons animations voices or stations. but say require: Full Version-patch(whatever)-no realizm mod.  :ph34r:
 

:shifty:  ok when i first saw this mod, i was thinking..hmm how could someone think up such a good mod, then i suddenly relised i hadnt downloaded it, i rushed to get it, but unfortunatly the link was broken, but thanks to a friend he helped me solve my problem,once i played it and drooled all over the key board i tryed playing the fed ai, but for some resen it only builds saba class...very confuseing..anyway its a grate mod, best iv seen yet, cant wait for the final relase, keep it up

p.s
(i really enjoy the playing as the dominon  hope you add them as a playable race in the final mod if not then i wont complane) :P  

yea, the ai will be improved a lot, believe me, i have seen it :D. Of course the dominion will be playable in the final version, but beta 2 first.

DOCa Cola

yep, i and detektor weren't able to defeat 2 hard AIs.. we will make a few more test games today :-) perhaps we have to play against medium AIs in the future..

Pah, why is it that people can't cope with the AI?  

thanks iam glad the ai will be inproved :-) and iam pleased to here that the dominon will be playable  :D
