StarWars Vs Star Trek Mod

[+SayethWhaaaa]

I was a bigger fan of Armada than Armada II and a long time ago on a server far, far away, some prodigal nerds from a crew called Apoc Entertainment threw together one of the best mods for Armada I've ever seen! To the best of my knowledge, they made two mods:

Empire and Federation

Loosly based on SFB and set in the TMP era with the associated ships, sounds, tech etc. And with the old school Romulans and Gorn as playable races.

 

and my fave

 

Star Wars Vs Star Trek

This was esentially the DS9 era based game with the Imperials and Rebels replacing the Romulans and Borg as playable races and a mean mofo of a Borg cube replacing the Orion/Ferrengi raiders. It was a Trek\StarWars nerd's wet dream of a game and almost impossible to defeat multiple AIs without other human support. And with the introduction of fighters, just an incredible all round mod!

 

But like the Mayans... Apoc Ent just disappeared into thin air. And I haven't heard anything since.

 

has anyone come across these gems??

I'll have a look around...they're bound to be somewhere.

Ditto on Armada I beating A2. While technically A2 was better than A1, better graphics, the addition of 3D space, and so on, it had a far weaker story, weaker AI, and weaker MP than the first game.

I dumped my copy of A2 just a year after I got it, but I still have A1 somewhere.

They might have broken up, gone bankrupt (if indeed they were a business) or might have been in trouble with Paramount/activision for use of designs logos, they could have been shipped off to Iraq, swept away in floods... anything!

 

I tried getting in contact with them for another reason a few years ago but my emails bounced even then. I was thinking about maybe posting the mod here on CA in the event there was any interest in it but I wanted to see if there would be any issuses with this. But other mod sites seem to be posting it on the web regardless.

 

The very last thing I heard about them was they were in the process of making a SP addition to the game and they'd just announced they were intending to make an Armada II version of ST Vs SW but that's about when their site went down. I'll post some screenies next time I'm home with some end game scores just so you get an idea of how intense it can be.
