Star Trek Armada II: Fleet Operations

If you have taken a closer look at our Project Progress page (http://www.fleetops.net/project-progress.html) in the last days you might have noticed that many Borg todos have vanished. Time for a little update on our most famous cyborgs along with some screen shots fresh from the dev version.

Borg Gallery (http://www.fleetops.net/gallery/catid,3/)

Happy assimilating!

Thanks for the images.  I am very happy to see so much thought and effort devoted to the collective.  FleetOps will definately have the best rendition of the Borg!

The collective makes one more step to perfection.  :borg:

Awesome, Optec!  This is what we've been waiting for!

Brilliant stuff, great pics. Makes V3 all the more worth the wait.

looking forward to the borg. Would not object if the Cardassians were also part of the game, maybe with the Gorn as guest races with the cardassian main race, like the breen are with the dominion in v3.
In any case the game's graphics are really cool. Everything that one would expect with a next gen Star Trek strategy game. GREAT JOB GUYS!. Cheers! :thumbsup:
One suggestion though. It would be better to have the canon races as mainstay choosable races before including the more obscure ones like noxeter or caldonian.
Also, the maps are excellent. As per the list of todo things, the one missing thing - DERELICTS will hopefully be added.
I would like the starbases to be a little stronger - maybe 6  disruptors for roms/4 or 5 rays for dom of feds or klings - all those resources for constructing one, and yet it does not do much to retaliate against an attack -think DS9 against the klingon or dominion/cardassian fleets.
Other than that I'm happy  :D

Also, almost forgot. The dominion super cruiser would be a nice addition - thenone from DS9 Valiant(with the appropriate size in relation to the warbirds). :innocent:

oh. Btw - the mixed tech feature when taking over another race's construction ship - Brilliant!  :thumbsup:
Would be interesting if the borg assimilation of such ships would create similar hybrids (maybe to a higher degree given the borg's ability to add distinctiveness to their own)  :borg:

great job :thumbsup:
Thanks for the cool images.
Assimilation Matrix  :woot:
 :borg: The Collective must grow

Yes! For the first time ever the Borg are actually looking like the Borg. I'm really loving the station designs too; very unimatrix-esque.

It makes me wonder why the other races still bother to fight. Do i have to spell it out for them...
...RESISTANCE IS FUTILE!  :borg: B) :borg:

Oh my, oh my oh my ! *squeals like a little girl; or rather, like a kid who knows v3 is going to be spectacular*.
It looks amazing and fantastic, and I want it, now; mommy? :ermm:
Thank you!
-dom ( :sweatdrop:)

We love the Borg. The Borg were even fun in crappy A2. V3's gonna be great.

We are that much closer to absolute bliss.

The Gorn actually have a treaty with the Federation, and if you read a book (considered Cannon) it discusses a pending alliance. The Gorn Hegemony might join the Federation.

Indeed or maby uberbliss

Holllllly Shite

I need to start waring a bib be for vistaing this site.

oh man i better get my eyes tested, i cant see crap :( too dark.
there is a lot of light directly shinning on my screen at the mo... so i'll check back later to see if that was the problem.

anyway, doca, optec i think something is wrong with the whole zooming square thing (on the gallery pics) it only goes about halfway down the pic then dissapears :ermm:.

It's good to know that there will finally be no resistance.... All to say: I will save You from Yourselfs

True. But if we were to stick by canon absolutely, then we should also note that the Dominion too have signed a peace accord and after Odo's return it is unlikely that hostilities would resume. Also, Voyager canon leaves the Borg themselves in existential limbo.
I was just suggesting that we retain mainstay Trek favourites as choosable races, and found the Cardassians to be just as important as the Roms or Dominion. To spice things up, I thought it may be a nice idea to include a couple of Gorn or Tholians ships as neutral characters- did not mean to emphasise the Gorn - we could simply have a few ships as non-playable but more along the lines of Armada 1 domhell map characters that are grey and attack anyone who violates their space. Didn't mean to over emphasise the Gorn.  :sweatdrop: :rolleyes: :D

Hmm, I just tried the zoomy thing and it worked fine throughout the pic.

I think the idea of having the freedom to choose each race is the key point. True, in the case of the Dominion and Cardassian hostilities are ended according to canon, but then you might argue the same thing for the Romulans, with a possible treaty at the end of Nemesis. The point is that it's fun to set up our own scenarios, with traditional allies fighting each other etc. Who wasn't excited when war broke out (temporarily) between the Federation and the Klingons in DS9 (well, I was, but I'm easily excited  :ermm:).

Yes, I have noticed long ago that the zoom function (can't move it down more than half the pic) was broken, but I thought it was just my browser or something.

Oh I know what you guys ment, I'm just stating if you're gonna have Gorn and Cardassians and (my fav) the Breen or Tholians, then lets have them be seperate, quality races. Or maybe have a starbase the changes depending on the avatar you pic (the avatar being Gorn or Cardassian, or Breen Or Tholian, y'know? Like mini-subraces)

Do you have any idea how long we would sit around and wait for all that races being fully separate? Let me guess.... 15 years? :sweatdrop:

A new gallery picture of the just-finished Borg Incubation Complex has been added  ^-^

is this then a Research building?

As far as I remember V2 the Incubation Complex "produced" drones. The more of these buildings you had the faster you were able to build larger ships which require more drones. They did nothing but spamming drones.   :assimilate:

As crew is no longer a resource the Incubation Complex will play a key role for the Borg in gaining supplies :)

When it's done!

Just a question... somewhat along these lines... who does the actual balance testing for v3?

ya....            its not like we are asking for beta testing but well I think you know what our response would be :shifty: :shifty: :shifty:

From what I understand, up to this point it's been Doca, Optec, and Detektor.  Maybe a few of their friends as well.

Totaly awsome guys, love this stuff, also i get the same problem with the zooming square

I may very well be the only person whom it works for.

The Collective Matrix, an advanced research station, has just been finished. Two new screen shots are up in the gallery  ^-^

Yes! one more step towards completion!!!!!! :thumbsup:

Although under developement for a while now since the release of the PR 3 version I still check the website everyday pretty much for updates and changes... Probs sounds sad... but Fleet ops does just give armarda II replay value.... its just made it into a hell of alot better game... All the things its added are things that should have been in an official game... so for a modding team to create fleet ops is phenominal!!!

Im Really looking forward to the borg, even on the PR each race is reallly so unique I love it! Just wish my boyfriend did... dying for a multiplayer... supreme commander just isnt quite the classic this one is!!! Hope your done by christmas guys coz it would be a great present to alot of people lol!!!

All the best x

Hi, and welcome to the forums :)

We cant give a precise release date yet, but you can access the current project status on our progress page (http://www.fleetops.net/project-progress.html) :)

This is weird. Over the weekend the critical tasks came down to 9 based on the completion of "Station Upgrades".
However the list is back up to 11.
I really hope v3 gets done soon  :crybaby:

its not going to be done for about a whole year to be hoenst mate... the project progress is nothing but an intentional tease to keep you interested. it will always go down one or two to bounce up 3-4...


dont get me wrong i love the FO guys and the work they do, its a shame i will just prob be dead before i see it, guess i cna leave it as a gift for my children (for the sake of it, im 20 and im being sarcastic)...lol

anyway keep up the great work, loving MVAM

Well to be fair... V1 came out, as did V2 and V3PR. So V3 full WILL come out too :whistling:
