Fleet Operations is a popular modification for Activision's Star Trek: Armada II adding advanced graphics, a new user interface, completely replaced ship models with new improved ones, new gameplay for every race and easy to use utilities for advanced options.
As Armada II is much different from what manythought the successor of Star Trek: Armada should be, Fleet Ops was created to change the philosophy of the game. The objective of the mod is to bring the game back to Star Trek's roots.
Fleet Ops attempts to change gamplay style from creating big fleets within seconds and battles based on the pure number of materials, to one more strategy based. As such, the warp system was removed and map depth was reduced to the point where it became practically non existent. New map surroundings where created including new asteroid fields, stars and star maps.
Each ship has been redesigned to focus on a defined task so it does not loose its importance during the game. Many of the graphics were redesigned with new textures, and each race was given a new tech tree. In addition, a credit system was introduced that gives you the possibility to create a certain number of race specific special ships. |
