You can make a disk image which you can store just about anywhere and then mount it in a virtual drive using something like Daemon Tools.

Personally I use Virtual CD, I haven't used my physical disc in years.

...and for some reason, my computer's special and doesn't need a CD at all 

There are nocd programs on the web - just do a quick search in the forum, as Doca recommended one to use for Fleet Ops

The best and easy way for this, is to create or have someone create a mini virtual CD image for you.
These images should contain about 5 MB or so, maybe less.

now thats funny!

I was actually started on armada 1 by my uncle.  he gave me a copy of the CD, and by the time I lost it, a2 had come out, so I bought it in stead...pay'd $14 for it on ebay too

off topic:

@ adm zaxxon i discovered armada 2 just by chance.

when i was a kid my aunt was gonna get me elite force 1 but the price was labelled wrong and she got pissed off and walked out lol. i downloaded it years later.

its amazing how low quality some star trek games are, such as away team and the boring one which was 3rd person. and dominion wars, and ds9 the forgotten, and all those had companies developing them, and fo is developed in people's free time for free and is superior.

Ack...all this mounting of cd images...just use nocd cracks...takes up much less space.

lol, Dominion wars...Cool ships, but it was like playing a2, locked in tactical mode, with legacy's amount of ships

true, but cracks are sometimes badly made and buggy, and its always good to keep an image of important disks incase you lose them.

Any one here seen the Star Wars vs Star Treak demo, have it its good but the klingon ships look like hell. One off the wall question on this topic is Star Treak Online strictly online only?

yep, STO is online only like most MMOs

Doca submitted a nocd some time ago - I'd hope it wasn't badly made and buggy

How does one do this. I'm just curious. (I usually have all my CDs as images on my external harddrive so i will never really need a noCD)
