Star Trek: Armada III begins with the first stirrings of the Dominion War and allows players to take command of five unique factions, the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union/Dominion Alliance, and the Borg Collective. Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before.
Some new screenshots
steamrunner is still one of my favourite ships! What's its role?
fantastic stuff, hope the steamrunner gets it's torpedo boat role properly realised :)
Latest bunch of screenshots are very beautiful
The Steamrunner was never a torpedo boat, you're getting confused with the Akira - which was itself supposed to be a carrier but became a heavy assault ship sporting 8 torpedo launchers. The Steamrunner was a fast attack/patrol ship. So if I was to hazard a guess, I'd say it was either the heavy frigate or a cruiser of some sort. Total stab in the dark, could be completely wrong.
The Steamrunner was used as artillery in Armada 1 and 2, so it stands to reason that it might get the same role in this mod.
It would have been a standard cruiser in the "real" Trek universe as the heavy Tricobalt torpedoes shown in Armada were likely not standard issue :P
