   Armchair admirals can once again take command of a fleet of starships with the announcement of Activision, Inc.'s Star Trek®: Armada II for the PC. The game is being developed for Activision by Mad Doc Software, a new studio comprised of former employees from Looking Glass Studios and members of the Star Trek: Armada production team from Activision. Set in The Next Generation universe, Star Trek: Armada II's story unfolds through three separate single-player campaigns played as the Federation, Klingons and Borg. Through 27 action packed-missions, players battle against the Cardassians, Romulans, Borg and Species 8472, each with it's own distinct play style, weapons, ships and base facilities. Star Trek: Armada II adds a number of new strategic options and enhancements to Armada's winning gameplay mix. Maps in Star Trek: Armada II now have 3-D depth, and have been increased in overall size. To make optimum use of the added dimension, the game offers players a new Tactical View in which the battle unfolds in true 3D. Ships can also be placed into 3D formations for different firepower configurations, and to further immerse the player in the action. Damage modeling has also been revised for Star Trek: Armada II. In true Star Trek fashion, player's weapons can now damage different locations and sub-systems on targeted ships. Star Trek: Armada II is expected to be available in the winter of 2001.
