Dude, Star Trek Legacy is not a RPG, it is a strategy game like Armada 1 & 2. Star Trek Online is the RPG not Legacy. Get your facts right.

Here are facts for Star Trek Legacy I red.

New Star Trek game in the works

US magazine Game Informer has revealed that a new Star Trek game is currently in development on PC and Xbox 360.

Titled Star Trek: Legacy, the new game is in development at Mad Doc Software and is scheduled for release by Bethesda Game Studios in September 2006. Said to be an action/strategy game, Star Trek: Legacy will span all shows with a single player campaign split into three time periods: Enterprise, The Original Series, and The Next Generation (which includes Deep Space Nine and Voyager).

The campaign is said to be based around an ancient species called the Iconions, first encountered by Picard in the Star Trek The Next Generation episode "Contagion." You begin the campaign in command of the Enterprise NX-01 and as you progress through the game you will earn command points which can be used to upgrade or purchase new ships. Eventually you'll be in command of up to four units, each unit comprising of one capital ship and two smaller ships. The game will also feature multiplayer support for up to eight players on PC and Xbox Live where you'll be able to take command of Federation, Klingon, Borg and Romulan vessels.

One of the key elements is the way in which ships are treated in the game. "We treat the ships as your characters. When a ship dies, that's a big thing in Star Trek. It only happens a few times in the whole 700-plus hours of the whole Star Trek cannon where you see the Enterprise get destroyed. It's a big thing and it should mean something," said Mad Doc CEO Ian Lane Davis in an interview with Game Informer.

The first hit I got for star trek legacy on Google made it seem like an RPG. I have no way of telling if this is an official site with your so-called "facts" or not but this made it out to be entirely online.

It mentions you choosing your surroundings and where you grow up. Doesn't sound very strategy-like to me

Re: Star trek: Armada 3?? (Mod)

Go to www.ditl.org

This is a star trek site. It has lists of the ships, races, weaponry, etc.

It's ain't a RPG, it is a strategy game. I know more about the game than you think, I'm not making this up. Also here is the very first trailer to give you more the view of the game.

Re: Star trek: Armada 3?? (Mod)

Legacy is going to be awesome. Unless it crashes every 5 minutes, or something :-)

Re: Star trek: Armada 3?? (Mod)

I have a big feeling that Star Trek Armada 2 will fully die after Star Trek Legacy is released this September. Also In 2007, I can't when Star Trek Online is released. :D :cool:

Re: Star trek: Armada 3?? (Mod)

it wont die completly if legacy is not modable or harder to mod than armada 2 then armada will live on

Re: Star trek: Armada 3?? (Mod)

Legacy is going to be little like a2 I think. From what I have seen the only time a2 has being mentioned offically it said something like they have learn't from a2 an important lesson that ships should not be destroyed very often. (as ships have high mortality rates in a2)

Re: Star trek: Armada 3?? (Mod)

It seems to me that Legacy is gonna incorporate elements from both genres:

Some strategy from A2 AND some RPG elements from the SFC series. Kinda like warcraft3 (in my opinion). Sure youve got the large scale battles and the control of multiple units but youve also got the main character advancement aspects that are seen in pretty much all RPGs (and the SFC series for that matter).

Also, @ The Star Trekker:

do you honestly believe that A2 modding is gonna die after Legacy's release?
I think not dude, I think not...

You will be able to make your ships warp to any location quicker in strategic mode. That does not sound like a RPG to me. It sounds more like a real-time strategy and a ship to ship combat battle game to me. It won't have no RPG elements. Go check out the official site that I linked in my earlier post to give you the full info.

Here are 2 video clips of the game that I saw besides the trailer.

Star Trek Legacy - Hi-Res Game Play Video

This game looks darn good and looks like major fun. This is why I think Armada 2 will completely die after 6 years like Armada 1 did. It looks like Armada 2 is dying and it is getting really boring now anyways. Only few of my clan members that are left playing Armada 2 and including me. The else of them gone to play other games like Guild Wars or FFXI or SFC3.
