SFC3 Borg Preview & Chat

Starfleet Command III: The Races Part 4 - The Borg Collective on GameSpy.com offers a look at the Borg race in the upcoming Star Trek space combat simulator. They discuss the race, their ships and tactics, the whole assimilation thing, the wild parties the borg throw (okay, I was kidding about that part), and more. All this is illustrated by several screenshots. On the same subject, there is a chat session planned with the folks at Taldren to discuss progress on SFC3. The session is scheduled for Thursday at 8:00 PM EST, all the details are found on this page.

It is quite dumbed down, isn't it. I didn't play either of the predecessors too much, but I keep looking for advanced options and maneuvers I remember using before, which apparently are unavailable now. For instance, in previous versions you could allocate tractor beams to hold incoming torpedos - no such thing, now. Defensive phasers are gone, too. Shame! I love the refitting, and I'll keep playing it for a while, but I doubt it'll keep me for a very long time. Doesn't help that the missions are all basically the same ...

Haven't yet played too much of it, but it really seems as I feared: a more dumbed down version of the previous games. It won't appear to the StarFleet Battles crowd due to its simplicity, and it won't appeal to the average Star Trek gamer due to its complexity. It'll be interesting to see how it sells.

That's not to say that the game isn't fun: I am enjoying it, just that I'm not playing it like I played II (which was all the time).

This game is out and its boring as hell, Online universe Dynaverse 3 campaign system blows, it crashes, disconnect etc... and the game blows itself.

I love it how games that came out last week are referred to as "upcoming" on news sites. Progress on the game? It's done!

Oh well, it's not like I could do any better.

I saw some screenshots a while back, but IIRC it's not due out until Spring 2003. I would think the hype machine would be fired up soon...

...well, kind of :o, what is going on with 1337 Force 2? I was never exactly blown away by the look and idea of it, but I figured I would give it a shot, especially if it improved on the weak areas of the first game. However, I have not heard much about it lately, none of the retailers are showing it on their tentative/unofficial release dates, and it certainly seems like it is going be facing some incredibly tough competition in the future...

Curious,
Ray
