Spoilers Starship Design in Star Trek: Picard
- Thread starter pst
- Start date
What's in a design anyway? Unless you subscribe to the idea each one has to be bigger than the last. And yeah, they were kinda doing the retro thing and putting (for the most part) Bill's Shangri-La onscreen.
I mean, they still had original Excelsior and Miranda classes in the 23rd century. 23rd century "design" with late 24th century systems, never really mattered to me one way or the other. If a design works, why make a new one? (in universe of course)
Something that occurred to me while playing Star Trek: Armada II...
The Picard series has provided us with enough Starfleet content that Activision could bring out a Star Trek: Armada III if they were still around and had the license.
You got a selection of different ship classes, at least some with special abilities/weapons (like the Echelon class). Different space stations. Fleet formations, first seen in Armada II appeared in canon in PIC season 2. It brings the Borg and their queen back as major opponents, just like Armada II.
Imagine a three-campaign story set in 2401 after the events of PIC 2, when Captain Picard commands the Federation flagship Enterprise-D, and before the Titan-A returns to spacedock for renaming, serving under acting captain Seven. Could deal with fallout of Founder shenanigans for the Dominion. Do something Klingon. Romulan fights for dominance, etc. Even bring back the USS Premonition!
Ah, if only.

USS PREMONITION CAPTAIN: Guys we made the future worse!
I wish we would get a Armada 3. I have played Armada 2 for years with my friends
It's not the first time.
Oh man seeing this is giving me TrekBBS PTSD from 20+ years ago. The discussions were HEATED!
Activision is still around.
Either way they were just a publisher, Armada 1 and 2 (and Star Trek Legacy) were created by Mad Doc Software (now known as Rockstar New England)
There is a Star Trek mod called 'Armada 3' for the game Sins of a Solar Empire that is pretty good.
Eh, we've seen fleet formations in various shows before Armada came out.
well specifically I meant it would look identical on the outside.
Imagine, Star Trek: Legacy: Elite Force 3, set aboard the USS Enterprise-G. Captain Seven assembles a new Hazard Team. Commander Musiker and Ensign Crusher kick-@ss action!
These paired of stripes on either side of the registry?
Left to right: STO, Kelvin timeline, PIC.
I wanna see what today's engines can do with a Borg environment
I might do a USS Picard, that's what the reveal should have been.
El’nor.
It's just 'Elnor' there's no apostrophe in his name.
