There's a Star Trek: Elite Force II Preview on GameSpy offering another set of impressions of the upcoming Trekkie shooter in the works at Ritual Entertainment. One of the factors they discuss is a newfound emphasis on the oft-forgotten tricorder: "Something new added for Elite Force II are various puzzles you solve with your tricorder. In some missions, you'll need to match the amplitude and frequency of waves; in the Dallas mission, you'll come across a number of control panels in which you need to rotate a series of tiles so that power flows smoothly from one side of the circuit to the other. The puzzles start out pretty simple, but get tougher as the game progresses, eventually introducing time limits and other complications."
