Thats why thea re saying: If they had an own engine, it would not be a game of activision modded any longer. Still they would need a StarTrek-Licence

that could cost some money...but if all it came down to was money and we would have a game with its own engin...Well, I think you know how we would answer that

... of course, the question of own engine is answered in the FAQs  . Remember the Devs actually like working on the Armada II engine.

Well, what if the devs were to hit a wall, or reach its limit?

posted on April 22nd, 2010, 5:24 pm

Im sure they can deal with that when the situation arises.

Heh, what limits? When you code stuff yourself, the limiting factor a lot of times is ideas - so keep 'em coming

No i believe the limiting factor is time

writing real-time applications (or even normal applications) always shows you limits. dealing with limits is the stuff you spent most time on while coding thats not a problem

Moving to a new engine would have limits on their own. For example a year or two without any updates while we migrate content. Remember Duke Nukem? They switched their engine during development several times

We will advance the Armada Engine in the future to feature new effects, and we are possitive that we can do everything we want to.

If we hit a wall, we will phaser and quantum torpedo it down.  >:( On a brighter note, the new patch looks cool. The new Borg ships looks cool. Please get the new races out quick!

Please get the new races out quick!

Yes or you're fired!  Wait a minute... you guys are doing this for free on your own time... hmmm.... maybe we should be thankful for the races we have now?

a new race always requires a lot of time, especially cause we have quite a fist full of ideas for the "old" ones too

I know it takes a long time, but the more I read those intelligence reports the more I get impatient and anxious. I can't wait to play as the Iconians against the Borg. (Chances are I will fail really bad) Do you think that some form of campaign can be released soon? It would defiantly be fun, and would keep peoples minds off of the new races.

Campains are quite a long way off.
