this game won't normally work on Windows XP and possable ME because it was designed for windows 95 but will run on 98 not al whole lot of difference between the 2 except mostly upgraded to except the newer tech at the time but they way XP is set up it won't run properly on XP because it is just reconfigured in numerious ways (thanx Microsoft) so it can better use your computers hardware better well atleast thats what microsoft will say so personally I don't like XP that much have had too much problems between 3Dfx cards and not being able to intergrate an older hard drive into the computer that was using XP
Ok, but lacking

This is a not the type of command game i would expect from activison. Although i am a hardcore treky i dont like it. The lip movement is of and i wish you could assum a more room the ship type game with command. An Elite Force/Command game would be good in my opinion. You should also be able to go to systems you want to. Hey, overall its worth the buy, but its not the best
getting better...

This game is slowly getting better as far as crashing goes. but it still (sadly) looks a lot like the first game... they have added new ships and new abilities along with 2 new races... but it is really a lot like before. If you loved armada like i did this game is worth buying. Here are the pros and cons
---PROS
)2 New races
)Fewer Bugs
)New ships and special functions
)Better interface
)New maps and single player levels
)Has a tutorial level set
---CONS
)Seems to use more memory, hard drive space, processor time, and zaps more from a graphics card...
)still has some bugs on older systems
)Has only 3 (major) single player level sets
)Seems to have a weaker story.
Overall i would say... this is one you'll have to decide for yourself.
Fun

Not the best but fun playing the captain of the ship. Choosing a strategy can be tough at times but it offers a unique perspective not done before.
need older computer...

Fired up the DEMO and at first wasn't that impressed. They start off with someone 'on screen' and the mouth movement does not sync up with what they're saying. So I didn't expect much out of the rest of the game. Fortunately I was surprised. The gameplay is very cool. Sitting in the Captain's Chair handing out orders while the ship is in peril and it's up to you to make all the decisions. If you liked Star Trek Next Generation you should enjoy this game. Romulan foes and Klingon friends, good stuff. Graphics seem right on too.
Can't wait for the full version.
Fun Starship Shooter, havn't discovered real strategy.

The graphics and play is great! It is sort of a Quake 3 Arena first person shooter, with StarShips instead of people.
I am used to StarFleet Command, that has much more strategy involved to defeat your opponent(s). So far, this appears to be pretty much keep then in your sites and keep firing.
But, it has only been out for two days not, so maybe a more strategic game will evolve, but I don't see it yet. Still great fun, great graphics, good ship control and weapons fire.

I am highly dissappointed in this sequel. The ships/bases are not as realistic as the first game and the firepower is not as realistic as the first game. This game didn't even come with an instruction manual! I love the instant action of the first game but the sequel is horrible. I have tried to give this game a chance but after wasting 7 hours I'm through. I literally thought I was going to get sick. Do not waste your money on this. The new technology and the addition of the Cardassian and Species 8472 is not worth it. The Maps are not even as good as the first game! The 3D view isn't worth it either, gave me a migraine. I repeat, NOT AS REALISTIC as the first game! I'm going back to the first game and I'm going to try to pawn part II off on someone else.
