Star Trek Armada was my first PC game, 2001 long ago. When GoG offered Star Trek Armada and other old titles, I immediately bought them and was back in the game.
Star Trek Armada simply has an unbeatable charm.
So I thought I'd try to make this game, which hasn't aged well, pretty and the result was this little project: Star Trek Armada Remaster.
What is new and will be new:
- Backgrounds for the Skybox, sprites (stars, nebulae, weapons, etc.)
- the ship textures got a comic look, because the models/textures are very old and rather bad
- adapted single-player missions,
- some changes to the weapons without impact on the balancing,
- fixed the presentation of the bridges (Enterprise and Defiant) and upscaled all textures of the bridges
- new planet textures, repair of texture tiling,
- Widescreen support (Star Trek: Armada Patch 1.3 Project, Doca Cola)
The next update will adjust the size of the ships and stations. Previously I thought about realistic scaling, but that's not possible with the game, it looks stupid. The scaling will mainly affect the stations. I also have to do something about the hardpoints, I haven't managed to do everything today, then many of them aren't linked to the right weapons or aren't linked at all. Then there are the map objects lost due to my stress madness. That should be the basic framework for now.
The second update after that concerns the Typhon Pact, an alliance between Tholians, Breen, Gorn and Romulans and Tzenkethi, which are only mentioned by name. There are no models that Armada can handle.
The third update is supposed to take care of New Missions and the GUIs and buttons to replace that, I don't have a problem with the old stuff, but a little more modern doesn't hurt.
The fourth update is supposed to take care of the extended techtree, where all factions get a few ships and/or stations added. And that's going to suck, it took me days to build the AI, which I accidentally destroyed today.
Perhaps a fifth Update which adds new Borg Models for the Remaster Modus
When are you going to upload the next update and how many updates are there so far having trouble in installing the game right now. The Setup exe dose not work there are files missing and the map editor says it dose not exists.
