Bug Fixes

1) Pathing Improved – Ships will have less trouble moving in groups or n***gating in areas with lots of objects.

2) Rally Point Improved – Ships will not try to occupy the same location when they exit the shipyards.

3) Strategic AI in Instant Action and Multiplayer has been given better handicaps on medium and hard difficulty. Including sped up
build time and reduced cost.

4) In Instant Action/Multiplayer games the AI will now cloak ships if it can* more often on medium, and most of the time on hard.

5) The Chain Reaction Pulsar weapon has been modified so that it will not be able to hit cloaked ships and has been balanced to
be less powerful.

6) In standard Multiplayer games each team will begin with a starbase, 2 construction ships, and a scout vessel.

7) Implemented Instant Action save functionality.

it could cause a crash on loading of the saved game.

[Kruzin]

Yay!

Bout time!
Players have been screaming for this since the game was released.

I recieved this e-mail last night and at first I thought it was a fake. Well, if you have been to the STA boards at all today, we now know it is real. Activision has contracted an online survey site to solicit opinions from current Armada owners regarding what we would like to see in a sequel. If you also recieved this e-mail, please respond to it, this could be one of the deciding factors in the creation of a sequel. If you did not recieve the e-mail, I'm afraid you can't take the survey, it's an authorised users only deal.

Here is the e-mail:

Dear Star Trek: Armada Player,
Thank you for your purchase of a Star Trek computer game. You have been
selected to participate in a brief on-line survey that will help Activision
develop sequels to Star Trek: Armada. Your input is invaluable to us in
developing products for customers such as yourself.
We know your time is precious, so we've created a very straightforward
questionnaire designed to take no more than 20 minutes. For your help, we
will enter your name into a drawing where five people will be chosen
randomly to receive 5 top and current games in either PC or PlayStation
format.
To ensure that your opinions are counted and that your name is entered in
the prize drawing, please respond by Wednesday, February 7th. As soon as
the survey is completed, your name will be entered in the prize drawing.
The winners will be notified by email.
TO COMPLETE THE SURVEY GO TO:
