Species 8472 of course will try to destroy everything. The Story/stories differ from race to race. It plays shortly after Nemesis, but before the incident that lead to Spock travelling back into the past (accidentially) and taking Nero with him (also accidentially), thus creating a parallel timeline (you know the routine by now.) We have the Borg, Species 8472, Federation, Klingons, Ferengi, Dominion, Imperial Romulans (Donatras side) and Romulan Empire (Tal'Auras side), Civilians, Cardassians, Tholians, Breen and Terran Empire (Pirats also appear but are not playable). Okay, I think it's easiest to adress your question by stating the fractions first: The game itself would be something like an hommage. IGN's Star Trek Armada Guide was written by Jeremy Conradįor feedback or questions, e-mail IGNguides at. The Federation has good defense, the Klingons good offense, the Romulans are very stealthy, and the Borg can assimilate other races.įor more information, including reviews and cheats, follow this link:

Use the strengths of each race to your advantage.

Use that to your advantage by either placing turrets around a wormhole, or parking a couple ships there.

When a ship is exiting a wormhole, their shields are down for a moment.

If a ship is horribly damaged, and immobile, you can decommission it for Dilithium.

So, if you hit CTRL+1, you will simply be able to press 1 on your keyboard to instantly select that battle group. Learn to form battle groups by selecting a group of ships (the maximum number per group is eight) and then pressing CTRL plus a number. Next, you will want to have well-organized fleets of ships. Always keep at least two medium-sized ships near your base to protect it.

Your Starbase can defend itself, but it’s not invincible.Alternating between phaser and photon torpedo turrets makes a good defensive net. Always have a good defensive parameter around your base. While weak, turrets can buy you time to rally ships to defend your base.

The opposition will enjoy nothing more than to shut down your ability to gather resources, so you will want to defend that at all times.

Try to build a defensive turret or two next to your Dilithium collection facilities.

You want it to be both well defended, and well organized so your not moving all over the place to build specific units and upgrades. The first key to success is base construction. In this section, we will describe some basic strategies to help in the multi-player side of the game (but they can also be applied to the single-player game).
