I love how we completely accept that all space ships that meet in space somehow agree on which direction is "up" and which direction is "down" --as if they are meeting at sea on a planet.
To be fair, you kind of would have an arbitrary "polar" north. I've read sci fi books that have the AI's auto designate up & down and where 0 on the "compass" is so you can actually give "directions" and orders that make sense regardless of your position. Obviously, you're right in that you could go "north" upside down and it'd have no relevance.
@jonny-b4954 also, while there's no "up" or "down" things can still have a top and bottom, such as the galaxy which is disc shaped, and while they don't use cardinal directions, they do have the galaxy divided into quardrents which can be used in the same way 🤷♂️
Apparently aren’t aware of the bulk of the planet’s orientation that we’ve identified in the galaxy. The planets in a solar system generally are on the same plane while systems may be high or or lower on the Z axis of the galactic plane by few light years which is nothing if one is capable of traveling the distance between systems. Which for transportation, commercial, etc, there would be established routes just like in the sea and oceans and space would be no different even if beacons would be necessary. Which is likely for communication relays and such. No different from buoys we deploy at certain point. Carl Sagan covers lot of this in one of his old videos that was part of a tv series broadcasted long time ago.
The Romulan Praetor was totally the same voice actor as the narrator from Diablo. "Take heed and bear witness to the truths that lie herein, for they are the last legacy of the Horadrim"
@@slundal It's absolutely not Jeffrey Combs. It was one of the 'additional voices' listed on IMDB. Same guy voiced the leader of the slave revolt in the Klingon campaign. If Combs was in this, he'd have been a main character.
SFC2 Empires at War will always be my favorite from the series. I was part of the "Inner Circle" for the SFC series, ran the online fanzine Haling Frequencies and helped my buddy Dennis Greene write the strategy guides. Wish we could see the SFC series remade with the new tech we have today.
I would love for that to happen, I still have to replay the first two games in the series. I spent a lot of time in the dynaverse when the game had just come out and on GameSpy doing Customs
Only in STO dude... only there. In the normal series, althou they HAVE singularity cores compared to warp cores, they still explode normaly. Imagine them having the tech to show the suck in back in the day's.. TNG and early games where limited by the technology of their time.
In Star Trek online and it looks awesome, but keep in mind that original Star Trek is old, so its explosions are old too, but still better than Star Wars where there are no debris and Death Star fragmented to almost invisible scraps.
"No matter how tempting it might be" Yep, Picard IS the same as Archer and Sisko in his heart. That joke in nemesis "With or without the Rest of the Fleet" wasnt just for show or fun. And seriously? Picard had another armada comming. The Romulans would have ben able to MAYBE cripple Martok and the Enterprise, but nothing more. He was overprepared, and given this is shortly pre nemesis we all know fed AND klingon fleets go up into the thousands of ships again.
Just shows that not every actor is automatically a good voiceactor. Patrick Stewart was so much better performing on-screen whereas here it just sounds phoned-in by actually sounding like he's just reading lines off a piece of paper in a booth by himself with zero emotion whatsoever and nobody opposite him to interact with. Such a shame as TNG was my most favorite series and Picard my most favorite character.
He did a better job in star trek armada than in this one for sure.. may I ask how you found this video? It has suddenly gotten a lot of attention out of nowhere it seems
@@Vanguard717 Your Star Trek videos just randomly started popping up in my feed, so I guess you can thank the YT algoritm for it. 😉 It's good to hear that his VA work was better in Armada as I remember that his performance for Elder Scrolls Oblivion (2006) was also incredibly lacking and felt very phoned in. Just a shame as he's an incredible actor and would likely have performed much better if he had an actual person standing across from him. Seems he's not very good when he's alone in a booth as there's just no emotion to his work there.
The romulan starbase firing torpedos was almost shot for shot how DS9 fired its with the rotating launchers. Very good cutscene that fits the shows it was attempting to tie into. Not like the Trek today that is nothing like what came before but insists its the same timeline. Wonder why they were all cancelled???
@@Vanguard717 star trek in general should get more games. they tried with stellaris but that was literally worse than a star trek stellaris mod. my guess is the rightsholders are just super focused on tv/film and have little experience with games.
@@admiralschaal Yea, not to mistake for the shit they did with the license... that game is garbage. The mod IS trek , its trek HARD. You even can chose if you want the new shit OR stay true to the actual canon lore (wich actualy should give you STO ships by now, dont know didnt play for like a year and a halve with this mod on, but i know they started adding stuff from both, picard and canon lore (wich is STO btw.))
I love this game. In skirmish mode I use a Akira class with 2 K'Vort class birds of prey vs 2 warbirds or add another ship to my fleet against three warbirds. There are slots for more ships but don't know how to unlock them 😕
psssst... earth is in the beta quadrant too... the alpha quadrant is cardassia/bajor. Shure one could argue that earth is in it as well, but realy isnt. STO's map is the most accurate TO DATE, and earth is CLEARLY in the beta quadrant together with Vulcan, Andoria, Tellar prime, Qonos and Romulus. Romulus is even close to the Delta quadrant (yep... voyagers hometrip would be right THROUGH the romulan empire.. so you tell me what would be worse, Borg or Romulans that you cant even evade because you dont see them)
@@christianresel8051 In reality Earth should be on the border between Alpha and Beta, but it was changed later on and it is as you wrote, that Earth is in Beta. Also, its a pity that STO is not exploring anymore but focusing to do missions and campaigns in Alpha, Beta nad Delta over and over again.

Legend has it the game crashed to desktop over 1000 times before getting to this ending.
Many many more
Some say it's still crashing today
Man, Activision must have fired the people responsible for using the correct sound effects across their games.
True

Babylon 5 to its credit did not do this.

Lemme quote Shinzon: Silence Romulan!
Nice to see a Defiant class not have plot armor for a change.
So rare for that to be the case back in those days
@@Vanguard717 Sisko wasn't on it :P
from a period of time when star trek battle still looked cool (unlike in the recent series).

I would love to see that too. I'm a huge SFC2 fan. SFC3 was disappointing imo.
Brock Peters as a Klingon. Interesting.
My first thought after I just watched the TMP films yesterday was "hey, that sounds suspiciously like Admiral Cartwright"
@@happytadaa I remember him mostly as Darth Vader's voice in the Star Wars radio series.
...and also as Dark Kat in SWAT Kats.
The father of the Emissary 😊
Romulan Starships are suppose to explode an then being absorbed by a little black hole, cause they use a singularity as a power source.
in Star Trek Online heh
Based on this video, I don't think the devs of Starfleet Command 3 had the budget to make that kind of animation 😅

Good seeing the Enterprise firing thoose Quantum Torpedoes.
I like how it looks like the ships are talking to each other XD
They did a really good job with these cutscenes
What is Joseph Sisko doing on a Klingon ship?!
He was playing the Klingon general who wanted to strike deep into Romulan territory.
Mean admiral Cartwright…
@@jamerv86 He changed is name after that debacle and opened a restaurant.

The explosion effect looks just like in the series! For a second I thought I was watching the actual clips

Its one of the best Star Trek Games along with Star Trek Legacy, Star Trek Armada 2 Fleet Operations, Star Trek Armada 3.
I never did finish fleet operations but I will before the end of the year
I used to love this game me and my friend used to play it a lot when I went round to his house
I still have my original CD somewhere
@Vanguard717 Oh
When I was a Teenager used to play this game a lot with my friend.
not the best game of the series, but the series overall was really good.
I was disappointed they never made more after this

It's like Thomas the Tank engine but with starships
Very nice 😊!

Pretty brutal of the Federation to destroy Romulan vessels that were retreating.
Very unfederationlike

Still better than star trek alien domains and star trek infinite
