Star Trek Armada 3: Progress Report. news

Good day my loyal citizens of the Cardassian union. It has come to my attention that your civilian leaders in the Detapa Council have been sadly neglectful in keeping you informed. They have been tried and found guilty of high treason for their crimes. I, Gul Dukat have taken on the heavy burden of enhancing your understanding of the current state of affairs.
Let me begin this auspicious broadcast by thanking each and every one of you for downloading Armada 3. The Second Order's leadership has been flabbergasted by the overwhelming response we've received and we can't express how grateful we are to you all. Now, my faithful "colleagues", let me tell you about recent developments that will be included in our next release.

Updates to Iconography and informational tool-tips.

Since the beginning of the occupation, plans have been in motion to replace the tired old iconography in your systems and replace it with something more fitting for a valued protectorate of the union. Progress is well underway for this goal and will be included in the next release of armada 3 for all races. Below is an example of the work in progress.

In addition to this, Obsidian order infiltrators have managed to secure complicated informational accounts of other races systems and vessels. This information has been compressed for use as a holographic tool-tip for any budding commanders that wish to gain a stronger tactical grasp. Shown below is an example of the information. All relevant stations and vessels you are likely to see now have this functionality. No matter what situation you find yourself in, you will go in with understanding. Understanding after all, is victory. Cardassia expects nothing less.

View-screen updates and optimization

Work is always in progress to further optimize and update your graphical displays and the next update will be no exception. As you can see from the above image taken by a brave commander piloting a Hideki Class fast attack vessel our optical systems are continuing to improve. A lot of work has been done in order to improve lighting effects and bloom reception, in addition to several graphical upgrades to our systems. Below is another image taken by one of our long range scouts, on a mission deep in Federation space. He is an honored hero to the Cardassian people!

System fixes and upgrades.

The Second Order have had an excellent response from our citizens, and with their helped have identified many flaws in our systems. I shan't bore you with the details, but suffice to say, dozens of bug fixes and tweaks have been undertaken. Included in the next release will be a re-appraisal of all races tactical capabilities based on feedback received from our citizens. A large scale re-balance has happened based on feedback, and I'm sure you will be much happier with the way our simulators depict each races strengths and weaknesses. Many new abilities previously unknown to the union have been updated on enemy vessels also. Upon release, a full list of all the fixes, tweaks and additions will be included in the changelog for your perusal.

As always if you have any comments, suggestions or questions please feel free to comment below, and a member of the order will be happy to get back to you.

Once again, a huge thank you to the community for all the support we've received so far. We hope to repay your faith and interest in us. We hope to release the update soon, but I'm reluctant to give you a specific date. Expect it soon though! Finally, here's CaptainShack's next episode of his multiplayer let's play against the Borg.
