Hi everyone, Hope you are all well! Was thinking of maybe looking at a game of this with some of you? We could either pit against each other (I'm not every good), or RP against AI? Let me know what you all think! Thanks

Hi Satek, This guide needs an update, because a while ago the last and final version of STA III had been released. You can still download it from Modb, though. I'm always in for a good game of STA III. How about I set up a STA III event soon? Haven't done this in a while and don't know if I still have the permissioms, but let's try and find out Let me know which evenings have your preference and I'll take that into account. I'll try and have the guide updated this weekend - and I'll also try to do a short review of the final version of STA III (if anyone else hasn't done so already). Regards, Marcus.

Mod of the Week: Star Trek Armada 3, for Sins of a Solar Empire: Rebellion

If you've been looking for a reason to revisit 2011's SIns of a Solar Empire: Rebellion, might I tempt you with a fresh injection of Star Trek? Galaxy-class Federation starships? Borg Cubes? Klingon Vor'cha? Romulan... whatever it is Romulans drive? The Star Trek Armada III mod completely transforms Sins into Trek , with custom models, animations, effects, and technology.

The Armada 3 mod has been under space-construction for a couple of years, and recently went into beta. While there's still some tweaking and balancing happening behind the scenes, and plans for expansions in the future, version 1.0 already feels impressively polished. It can actually be a little hard to play sometimes because it's so much fun to just zoom in on ships and structures and admire the detail. When you do start to play, it actually feels less like a mod and more like a real Star Trek game.

The mod lets you play as one of four races. There's the Federation, the Klingons, the Romulans, and the Borg Collective. Not only does each side have its own UI theme (a nice touch) but they have their own strengths and weaknesses. The Federation can dominate the markets with their economic know-how, but their construction times (presumably due to Federation red-tape) can leave you short a few ships when the space-poop hits the fan. Klingons, meanwhile, have incredibly powerful weapons, but lag a bit behind in infrastructure and economy. The Borg, obviously, are efficient and powerful, but their weakness is... well, they don't actually have one. Watch out for those Borg. They're bad news. Romulans... well, they probably have some attributes, too!

You can also summon some of the heroes from the Star Trek universe. Sisko, Picard, and Janeway can pilot your federation ships in a pinch, if you've unlocked the ability to call on them through your research tree. Klingon heroes include Kurn, whose brother was Worf, and Chancellor Gowron, who was killed by Worf. Wait. Is Star Trek implying that all Klingons know each other, or am I imagining things? I didn't play as the Borg, so I'm not sure who their heroes are, but they're probably some terrifying robot monsters. And, as is probably clear by now, I don't give a single hot toot about the Romulans.

Being able to call in actual Star Trek characters is cool, but it's even cooler to hear their actual voices in the game, provided by sound snippets from the TV shows. I know it sounds cheesy, but it fits in amazingly well. Speaking of sound, the mod has a great soundtrack consisting of remastered tracks from Armada 1 and 2, as well as from Starfleet Command 3. And, the ships, the weapons, and the rest of the game's sound effects go a long way to transforming Sins into an authentic-feeling Trek universe.

The small touches are nice, too. Resources consist of credits, dilithium, and tritanium, which, as Wikipedia tells me, are things you would like to have a lot of in the Star Trek universe. The menus, the UI, even the tiniest of icons and emblems look great. As I said above, it doesn't feel like a mod as much as an actual Star Trek game. Even random pirate ships are modeled after space vessels from the show. It's pretty clear the team behind the mod are fans who really want to get the details right.

I played a few rounds as the Federation, and a couple as the Klingons. In terms of balance, I'll just say that I lost no matter which side I was playing, so at least it's fair (I am pretty terrible at strategy). I definitely recommend it if you have Sins: Rebellion, and if you don't, it's only $40 on Steam. Wait, $40? Still? Well, wishlist it, then, and snap it up in a sale. If you're a strategy fan and Trekkie, this mod is your jam.

Chris started playing PC games in the 1980s, started writing about them in the early 2000s, and (finally) started getting paid to write about them in the late 2000s. Following a few years as a regular freelancer, PC Gamer hired him in 2014, probably so he'd stop emailing them asking for more work. Chris has a love-hate relationship with survival games and an unhealthy fascination with the inner lives of NPCs. He's also a fan of offbeat simulation games, mods, and ignoring storylines in RPGs so he can make up his own.

I was shocked to find out that not only is Hyper Light Drifter's studio working on a second new project, it's a return to 2D with action inspired by 'platform fighters' like Super Smash Bros

What year is it? Because the O.G. Mighty Morphin Power Rangers is finally getting the arcade brawler tie-in it deserved in the '90s

Star Trek Armada 3 (mod)

What is Star Trek Armada 3?

It is a mod for sins of a solar empire rebellion that transforms the game into a star trek game.

The goal of this mod is to create a Star trek environment similar to the game star trek armada 2 featuring many of the same ships and factions.

What factions will there be?

At launch 4 factions will be available:

-United Federation of Planets

-Klingon Empire

-Romulan Star Empire

-Borg Collective

How accurate (canon) will the mod be?

Accuracy is a funny thing in Star trek, it tends to change after a few episodes, as a ship took 10 phaser blast in one it might be destroyed by a single one in the next season. That is why I have chosen to try to remain canon AS LONG as it doesn't interfere with gameplay and fun. 

I want this mod to be fun to play and not be weirdly balanced that it may be accurate but unplayable.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Following a series of game breaking bugs found in late April, the mod has been entirely re-built from the ground up and progress is coming on well.  

The game will include the four races mentioned above in the initial release, but a patch will follow including the Dominion as a playable race. As things stand, Both the Federation and the Klingon Empire Are close to completion, with only the research tree and some ship abilities to complete. The Romulans and the Borg are in mid-development at the minute. Check out our Pictures on Moddb on the link below!

The Game will include all new music, much of it remastered from previous Armada games. Please follow the link below to a news piece on moddb showcasing some of the music included in the game:

We've got all new neutral militia and pirates (The Orion Syndicate, of course) planned for the game. See below for some of our neutral militia in combat.

We're very active on the moddb page linked, so please follow and support the team on there also. Max, our project lead posts periodical pieces on the news thread. Check it out occasionally, you never know what you might find!

While I would say that SoA 2 already has the Star Trek universe covered,  They really don't.  They don't have the Cardassians, Tholians, Undine, or Mirror Universe stuff (Such as a Mirror Universe Promethus).

Or maybe have the Promethus perform it's function as the MVAE (Multi-Vector Advanced Escort).

Course, those races were rarely seen in Star Trek (except for the Cardassians), so they may not be feasible.

You're going for playability in your mod.  If I remember, the Borg were OP in SoA 2.  It would be nice to blow up a Borg cube without losing 80% of your fleet.

Quoting ImperatorPavel, reply 1 While I would say that SoA 2 already has the Star Trek universe covered,  They really don't.  They don't have the Cardassians, Tholians, Undine, or Mirror Universe stuff (Such as a Mirror Universe Promethus).

You're going for playability in your mod.  If I remember, the Borg were OP in SoA 2.  It would be nice to blow up a Borg cube without losing 80% of your fleet.

SoA2's vision for their mod is very different from Armada 3.

SoA2 tends to me to take cannon over gameplay while Armada takes gameplay over cannon as they stated above. While they draw from the same universe they take their own liberties to build their own mods. Which is why in SoA2 the Borg are OP because that's what happens within the actual cannon.

Having the Promethus perform it's MVAE role is impossible within the engine. The hardcoding prevents it from splitting into 3 seperate units. That's why you don't see the Galaxy go splitting around either.

Tholians and Undine have barely enough info on their fleets to determine a full roster. Cardassians are pushing it a bit.

True, they are going in a different direction from SoA 2.

Anyway, I hope the best of luck for them and their mod!

As i said in the SoA 2 boards. There is absolutely nothing wrong with having more than one Star Trek mod. There are more than one Star Wars, BSG, and Halo mods. Why not another Trek mod? I am surprised it took this long for another Trek mod to appear! SoA 2 doesn't have the "exclusive" here. We don't view this as competition. I personally view it as "Artistic License". Different artists with different points of view. It is true that our respective mods have totally different visions, and SoA 2 does put a lot of focus on canon within reason to the games engine. However there are fans of ST: Armada that prefer Armadas style of gameplay. I totally encourage this project, and hope it does succeed.

May The Great Bird of the Galaxy bless all gentle gentle denizens of the starry deep!

We're trying to stick reasonably closely to cannon in as many ways as possible, but won't compromise the enjoyment and the gameplay to get 100% accuracy. After all, what we really want is an enjoyable experience that still remains true to the feel of star trek and of course our inspiration: The Armada series.  

I'd also like to thank Major Stress for commenting, and for the support he's showing our efforts. He's entirely right that these mods aren't in competition in any way as they're both expressing different play styles and focussing on different aspects of Star Trek. 

Last Night we had a 5 or so hour stable MP match, testing out some of the new ship abilities. I'm pleased to report that we didn't run into the dreaded 2gig bug even with 4 players sporting nearly full size fleets. 

The Players were 

Maxloef1990: Chief developer of the mod 

Mindwipe: Responsible for helping to develop the lovely UI's seen on our moddb page and for the wonderul re-mastering and implementing of the in game music.

Myself: well, I don't really do anything except for mither, and suggest things that can't be implemented heheh. 

Take a look at some of the screenshots. All looking rather pretty I'm sure you'll agree.

If you'd like to see the enlarged HD versions of the pictures, feel free to check them out on our page

You mod is certainly looking very pretty.  Will you be using fighter movement on ships or will combats be static?

We're using fighter movement for many of the ships, but some of them (specifically the siege vessels) will be static.

Sounds good.  I've also been watching you on ModDB and this mod is shaping up nicely.  I can't wait to play.

That does look most promising.

Nothing concrete yet I'm afraid. 

Nearly all the models are done (probably about 80%), and a good amount of the ship abilities are done, but our research trees are in very early development, and that's going to be the time consuming bit in all honesty. 

Max is quite closed lipped about it, and our general tag line is it'll be ready when it's ready, because he wants to get it just right before any release.

If I had to give you a ballpark figure, I'd say sometime in Q4 this year, but keep your eyes peeled, as Max is working his socks off to implement all the good ideas the team has. 

How is the damage? Will things blow up fast like in Dominion War episodes, or will it be like regular sins, where you need to wait 10 minutes to kill a corvette?

Hmm...  Sounds interesting.

I'll just continue watching this project.

We played a MP beta test a couple of days back and Let's just say I lost half my fleet in about a minute when it hit Maxloef's and Killallewoks's defensive zone. 

They died gloriously in battle, for the empire. 

Quoting ImperatorPavel, reply 14 Hmm...  Sounds interesting. I'll just continue watching this project.  

Remember, if anyone has any great ideas for our research trees post them here! We're always looking for another viewpoint that might make the game better. 

I hope it'll be possible to assimilate ships, or board ships at launch, i really like to just "sit" there and capture every single ship in an enemy fleet and destroy their base WITH those captured ships...

or just hoard a ridiculous amount of ships in my base.

forgive me but i don't really see why both mods rule out a cardassian race for lack of canon material, the romulans and dominion already have lots of fanon/secondary media content anyway. the cardassians were at least fleshed out in armada 2

yes the cardassians may have been but the dominion aren't, and since the mod is set DURING the dominion war I made the choice to combine the 2

Will any other races be playable?

Why does this exist, and how is this any different than SOA2?.  Seems like a waste of a project.  Should have just worked with the SOA2 boys.  Star Trek is a diverse enough IP to have multiple mods made on it, but not when you're all focusing on the same era/stuff.

I think we will do as we damn well want to and ignore your very arrogant opinion...

Quoting Maxloef, reply 23 I think we will do as we damn well want to and ignore your very arrogant opinion... What's more beneficial to the Sins community, and this team as a whole: making a damn similar piece of work to the SOA franchise (that already has a multigame heritage), and billing it as a sequel to the Star Trek Armada series (it's not like game publishers, or current IP/license holders, have gone after mod makers before for creating "confusion in the marketplace"), or, working with the SOA2 boys on accelerating, and enhancing, their development for a better incarnation of Star Trek in Sins. Use some logic, and consider what's a more productive use of time in a small modding community.  The whole argument of "yeah, well, I'm going to build MY Star Trek Sins mod" is the far more arrogant statement than me trying to persuade you guys down the better path. Note: I've made the same argument, in the past, with the various similar Star Wars mods.  This is nothing new. Quoting ARESIV, reply 24 Not everyone agrees with SOA team about certain issues. That is why modding projects are almost always looking for more people.  I'm sure if offered help, the SOA team would gladly take it. And if you dont have anything useful to add.... dont post. Why post on a public forum if you're afraid of a little criticism, or another valid POV?
