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.

Here are facts for Star Trek Legacy I red.

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

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...

Actually, Majest, your hopes for an A3 technically are closer then ever - think about it with MAD DOC onboard the Bethesda team, let's be honest, better game publishers then Activision, there's hope that if Legacy does well, the chance for an A3 could occur, especially if many fans ask about.

So, in short, it may be worth getting excited about LGY anyhow.

Thats a little rude. So your saying that once Legacy is out the Armada community can just die for all you care? Thats a bit selfish and a way to not make friends.

Expected other genres:

-Simulation
-Squad Fighter/Control
-RTS
-Tactical decision making (RTS, but more tactics, less resources etc.)

I know this seems ridiculous as armada seems to have died at number 2 but by then the new generation won't know a thing anyway. There seems to be so much dedicated modding I'm surprised they haven't resurrected it yet. Anyway, for now I want to try set up a mailing list(which I do not know how to do) about a possible story for armada 3 because, to be frank, the first two sucked. So 8 years of idea exchange and story purification should result in a beautiful story. On top of that we could dig up more Star Trek like ships to put in the 3rd one instead of making up ships for a strategy game's sake. I know the federation has a frigate(from the series, not Mad Doc's "Aegian class") so making one up was unnecessary. Also, the Klingons and the Romulans had a brief alliance and as such shared the D7 frigate design. The romulans also had a bird-of-prey which never featured. I also hope to introduce multiplayer recruitable heroes and proper to-scale ships and stations. Docking( garrisoning to RTS fans) would be nice too. Just general exchange of ideas, really.
