It's at an angle not wrong-way up? Must have taken a hit to the engines...

That's how all of the ships should be... pity space will always be an ocean...

not an angle no, but probably engines out yes. Good pic though

I wish Armada could be more like Legacy... everyone on their own orientation. So a ship could be spinning through space and the game wouldn't care.

Legacy is as bad as armada really. You can't barrel roll or move your ship more than 90 degrees on any non horizontal angle.

Question, similar physics engine?

Bridge Commander is the one you must have been thinking off.

I guess... I never played Bridge Commander. Though I would like to have an A2 game that works just as good as one of my favorite non-PC games. How many have played Shattered Universe? Those physics were sweeter than sugar! You could barrel roll, twist and turn, and you could slip through the space between the Nacelles of various ships. The Torpedo physics was slightly off, but none the less it was a good game. In case you wondering... it was a PS2 game. Though something like a hybrid of those physics with Armada's ability to command stations and ships in numbers would be the ultimate game... even better than a fully modded Legacy.

Legacy is a game with great potential, but its stock version is really buggy.  Its physics are fine for the startrek world because that is really how thevships acted in the show.  Weather or not they would act like that in the real world remains to be seen, but I am fine with how they fly.

I have shattered Universe sitting on my shelf right now....personally I thought the physics were not all that good....personally I think the best examples of games with good physics were Colony Wars(PS1) and Battlestar Galactica(PS2).....Man I miss Colony Wars too....damnit all to hell Im depressed now....

Oh and Im refering to fighter Physics and not Capital ships....

EDIT: on a side note since this is a screenshot thread I found something kinda interesting lol. Im attaching an Image highlighted. And no its not a modded in ship either it came stock with FO.
I hope Im not the only one kinda surprised by it....but really its not a big deal....allmost feels like an "easter egg"

Yup, I believe that's there because that's one of the only vessels not textured/modeled by the FO team (I believe you can check the readme if you want to find out for certain).

Yup the intrepid is credited to Fahres...yet I still find it odd it still has a registry on it since the primary ventral and dorsal does not....oh well just found it interesting.
