I may not be actively posting (who would have responded   ) but I have been visiting the forums at least twice a week. I have also sent you emails and did some voice over work. (will try to do more soon been busy with RL   ) I am glad to see a update, the switch to fleet Ops seems like it will be a good thing, and I can't wait to see some more news!

It seems the last few months have been a dry spell for the Armada community, and whether direct or indirect it's had influence over the speed of development of this mod. Until things are back in order I've begun to transfer over all assets from the A2 engine to the Fleet Ops engine developed by their internal team. The FO engine is just so much more flexible, and with their recent patch so many new features can be implemented that were not possible with A2 alone. If you are interested check out Fleet Ops at their website: http://www.fleetops.net/home.html You don't have to be a Trek fan to enjoy a damn good RTS.

Hopefully soon the flow of models and beta testing can resume. Until then hang tight, even though there are virtually no people on this site at this time...

The site is far from finished, though I feel it's worth announcing that Sigma now has an official wiki. Feel free to browse around if you want. There's some tidbits about the plot and game play here and there but it won't be reliable until further in development:

NPC Faction: ‘Hoggers’
   
General Information:
   Codenamed  “Hoggers” or more simply "Hogs" by the V.R.A, these gentle creatures often establish themselves in resource rich locations. Hoggers are large multicellular space born creatures that seem to lack brains or any sort of nervous system. 
   Hoggers often form colonies of dozens of individuals. There does not seem to be any gender among their species and it is unknown how they reproduce.  This race tends to feed on many of the ores used by other races in constructing ships, and as such they can become notorious pests for hogging resource sites (hence their codename). 
   Many Hoggers have accidentally been pulled into Folded Space Portals created in deep space and expanded themselves in civilized areas. Though they are not hostile, huge clusters of Hoggers will gather at harvesting sights and block mining ships from their duties. For this reason Hoggers are considered pests and are often exterminated when found in civilized areas.

For more information about the Hoggers, please see their wiki entry: http://sigma.wikia.com/wiki/Hogs


Notable People

The Hoggers have no individuals worthy of recognition.

Hogger Units
Hoggers are a completely biological race, and they themselves act as ships. Being docile by nature, Hoggers show no sign of any weaponry to use against attackers. In fact, Hoggers won’t even retreat if attacked. One well placed shot will often cripple or kill a Hogger instantly.

Hog Vacuole


Constructs: Hog Eaters, Hog Spores
Info: These larger Hogger beings seem to be a "collector" of some variety for resources acquired by the smaller, younger members of the colony. They may be massive, but they are totally harmless. Often killing off these creatures will end the growth of a Hogger colony in a particular sector.

1.  Hog Eater

Info: These often smaller and presumed to be younger Hogger beings move out in huge clusters to consume any resources in a given sector. Massive trails of these beings will help lead an annoyed player back to their source to deal with the problem.

2.  Hog Spores

Info: These tiny creatures are presumed to be newborn Hoggers. They seem to serve no purpose and do nothing but float around larger Hogger beings. It is unknown how they feed, as they have never been seen doing so without their parents.

NPC Faction: Arkoids
   
General Information:
   Codenamed  “Space Bacteria” by the V.R.A, Arkoids are giant single celled space born beings that dwell in areas of space rich in nitrogen deposits.  These creatures are mostly found in deep space and away from civilized areas since they are unable to travel very far from their population hubs.  Occasionally though a reproductive Arkoid may tag along with a ship during a folded space jump and multiply like wildfire right in the heart of an empire’s territory.
   Arkoids are non-sentient and highly animalistic in behavior.  There does not seem to be any form of society among their species.  Most Arkoids live in families of several hundred and attack any other of their own species that is not part of their particular group.  Arkoid hostility is well known, they will also attack any starship that enters their domain and rip them apart.
   Arkoids technically do not have a military, however they do display primitive knowledge of warfare despite their limited intelligence.  Often if a colony of Arkoids springs up in a civilized area, they will organize themselves into waves of sixteen members and continually assault their current target until it is destroyed.  It is for this reason that Arkoids are rigorously hunted down if spotted in civilized areas.

For more information regarding the Arkoids, please visit their wiki entry: http://sigma.wikia.com/wiki/Arkoid

Notable People

The Arkoids have no individuals worthy of recognition.

Arkoid Units
Arkoids are a completely biological race, and they themselves act as ships.  Arkoids often attack by ramming into their target and trying to rip it apart.  Some Arkoids are capable of generating a highly corrosive acid that they hurl at enemies.  Fortunately Arkoids are incredibly fragile an usually one well placed shot from any common weapon will kill them instantly.

Arkoid Reproductive Cell

Constructs: Arkoid Babies
Info: The hub of most Arkoid colonies, a reproductive cell can spawn children at an alarming rate. These large beings are often the main target of Arkoid extermination fleets as without it Arkoid concentrations die off.

1.  Arkoid Babies

Armaments:
- Melee
- Corrosive Volleys
Info: Offspring that has freshly split off from a reproductive, swarms of these cells often make up Arkoid fleets.  Most Arkoid Juveniles attack by ramming into enemy ships and ripping them apart, though some are able to fire projectiles from a distance.

Arkoid Adult

Armaments:
- Melee
-Corrosive Volleys
Info: Occasionally an Arkoid is able to survive long enough to grow into a truly monstrous cell.  It is for this reason that speed is urgent when dealing with an already establish Arkoid colony.  A fully grown Arkoid adult can cause tons of trouble even for well armed extermination fleets.

A rather simple news announcement... Sigma's first demo is now currently available at filefront.com

Info about this release:
________________________________________________________
Do I need anything preinstalled?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- You need a fresh instalation of A2 with both the 1.1 patch and the unofficial 1.2.5 patch by the FleetOps team, both which can be found here on Filefront.

Patch 1.1 and Patch 1.2.5 can also be found on the Fleet Operations website here: http://www.fleetops.net/download/Download/StarTrekArmadaII:PatchProject/

- After the patches have been installed, simply copy everything to their appropriate folders and overwrite if the prompt asks. Be sure to back up all data if you are not adding this to a fresh install of A2.
________________________________________________________
What is in this Version?
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- The Vederiction of Resource Alliance (V.R.A.) as an add on race for stock A2
- The V.R.A. focus on bringing a new playstyle to Armada. All their stations and ships are modular and can be refitted with numerous separate add-ons to meet your current situation.
- For more details about the V.R.A, visit their information thread at our website: http://sigma.smfforfree.com/index.php/topic,11.msg19.html#new

Issues and bugs with this release
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- This demo is meant as a gameplay demonstration, the V.R.A. are horribly unbalanced compared to the stock A2 races.
- Mining ships get stuck on mining stations due to their massive scale. This will be fixed once Sigma no longer relies on stock A2 since resources will work differently. It is highly suggested you play with Unlimited Resources On while experimenting with the V.R.A.
- The AI does not work properly yet. Don't expect much of a challenge (if any) from the V.R.A.
- Occasionally launching fighter craft will not work properly
- Virtually all voice overs are missing, save for several of the Hero Ships. If you are interested in doing voiceovers feel free to contact us on our website.
______________________________________________________
Special Thanks
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯
- Much of our thanks must go to the Fleet Operations team for their hard work and devotion to expanding Armada and proving that this eight year old engine is capable of making games worthy of today's standards.
- CanadianBorg for creating every model and applying textures to them. This mod would be impossible without your focused effort.
- MonarchyOne for the most amazing soundtrack I could possibly ask for.
- Westworld for the Big Book of Modding.
- TexasAggie for the engine jam weapon odfs.
- Brian Stein, Twilight Zelda, and Tama Twilight for providing voiceovers for this release.

A very brief demonstration demo for the Vederiction of Resource Alliance is virtually complete. We are planning on releasing it near the end of May as an add-on to stock A2.

The Vederiction of Resource Alliance

General Information:         
   The V.R.A. is the unity of mankind under one common banner. With the discovery of hostile extraterrestrial life and the realization that the defense of mankind was now a priority objective, the nations of humanity banded and formed one of the most effective military forces the Sintar Cluster has ever seen.
   Operating under a creed that devotes effort to the securing of resources and defensive matters, the V.R.A. forces all civilians to participate in some way to aid mankind’s fight against their quarrelsome neighbors.  Through the will of humanity and the sheer numbers of people involved, the V.R.A. has managed to hold back all and any invader.  Such times have lead to the V.R.A. performing great feats, such as the extinction of the Jevoron people during the Human-Jevoron War.
   The V.R.A.’s fleet is designed to be flexible and versatile and there is no lack of ideas when it comes to potential weapon designs to use against the plethora of hostile foes.  Utilizing a huge payload of weapons and decent armor, the V.R.A. sacrifice speed in favour of decent protection and counter potential.
More Detailed information on the V.R.A. can be found here: http://sigma.wikia.com/wiki/Vederiction_of_Resource_Alliance   

Faction Leaders

General Geon E. Mokbel


Tactics: Heavy Firepower
Leader Bonus:
-   Fire Ant Bombers replace Mosquito fighter craft
-   Fighter Bay available for Defense Grid Pylon
-   Rex Design Permit is pre-purchased
-   Ships are directly built

Background: The military leader of the V.R.A, General Mokbel directs all actions undertaken by the fleets more or less. While his power is somewhat unsaturated by the collection of Colonels, ultimately most actions come to him for approval. He’s bold, calculating, and has a sense of justice no one can match.

Strategy: Not having to fork up extra resources and time to build a chassis for each ship is by far the General’s biggest advantage. He can mobilize his fleets quicker then the other V.R.A. leaders and as such players who don’t want to focus as much on micromanagement will likely attach to him. Occasionally his carriers will also spawn Fire Ant Bombers: these powerful craft are wicked against cruisers. When the General himself graces the field, you’ll be given control over his Rex Battleship, the Flamestar. While initially it’s essentially just another Rex Battleship, it comes equipped with a slew of powerful special weapons. The Xenon Ignition Shockwave pushes enemy ships in rapid succession across the map and can wreck massive havoc on an enemy fleet in formation. Focus Fire also helps to boost the combat effectiveness of all ships attacking the same ship as the General and is useful for taking out an enemy hero or powerful starbase.


Colonel Lyon Stein

Tactics: Long Range Artillery
Leader Bonus:
-   Artillery add-on available for Defense Grid Pylon
-   Artillery Range increased by 1000m
-   Raptor Design Permit is pre-purchased

Background: One of the most trusted Colonels in the V.R.A. fleet, Stein is effectively second in command next to the General himself. He’s calm, confident, and almost nonchalant when approaching a problem. He’s not particularly fond of war with the extraterrestrials, however.

Strategy: Colonel Stein takes full advantage of the one edge the V.R.A. have over all the other races: Long range. Artillery is the name of the game here, and the Colonel exceeds at bombarding the enemy from afar. More often then not, focusing on Raptor, Peregrine, and Orca production will serve greatly when they are put into action. When it’s time to summon the Colonel himself to battle, you’ll be rewarded with the Ankylosaur, the game’s most long-range weapon. When in Awe-Strike mode it can fire from any distance and cause havoc to a player who’s dawdling on the defensive. As you can imagine Stein is brutally effective against overly defensive players who like to hang out and build their fleets up cautiously.

Commander Edward William Hawksin

Tactics: Tech
Leader Bonus:
-   Bottlenose Destroyer armed with Mylock weaponry
-   Ships can be upgraded with BRIAD Defense System
-   Bottlenose Design Permit is pre-purchased

Background: Hawksin is one of the younger commanders in the V.R.A. fleet, and was one of the few who participated in the destruction of the Jevoron species. It’s argued that he has more affinity and empathy for alien races then most humans and as such he’d rather find a more peaceful solution to the conflicts. He is also fascinated with extra terrestrial technology and as such has implemented it in ships under his command.

Strategy: Commander Hawksin is more of a thinking player’s leader choice. Unlike the other leaders he has a larger focus on smaller ships such as the Bottlenose. This gives him massive anti-Battleship potential and the ability to spread around the map and control firefights better then the other leaders. In addition, he also gains a bonus for any alien race allied with him in multiplayer. When in the mission, you’re given control of Hawksin’s unique ship, the Torresque. Armed with a BRIAD defense system, this small ship is particularly effective at avoiding damage. In addition it is also armed with a Mylock Dimensional Phase Device, so Hawksin is able to become completely invisible to enemy sight and radar. This ability makes him handy for slipping into enemy territory and absorbing intel on fleet movements.

Commander Soril Valash

Tactics: Missiles
Leader Bonus:
-   All Missile units gain Cluster Missiles ability
-   Cluster Missile add-on available for Defense Grid Pylon
-   Owl Design Permit is pre-purchased

Background: A young and bold commander in the V.R.A. forces, Valash is infamous for completing her orders through means that defy protocol. She has little tolerance for rules, suppression, and most of all: alien life.

Strategy: V.R.A. players that prefer a more “In-your-face” approach will likely latch unto Valash as their main leader. While Colonel Stein certainly has power on his side, Soril brings the power up front instead of from behind the lines. Aggressive use of missile units is her main focus, and a well balanced fleet of Rexs, Owls, and Urchins is more potent then any other combination. When bringing her out onto the field Valash is in command of the Feldspar, a powerful Owl Missile Crusier. This makes her an excellent anti-destroyer unit, though she tends to fall quickly to larger battleships. It’s best to keep her mid fleet and surrounded by plenty of Urchins to take on any battleships that might focus fire on her ship.



V.R.A. Units
The V.R.A.’s war machine focuses on being flexible and modular.  All ships are constructed as a basic design but can be refitted with certain weapons to match the commander’s preferred strategy or current situation.

Utility Chassis
Refits to: Bee Mining Freighter, Ant Tug, Termite Construction Rig, Badger Scout
Info: The basis to all of the V.R.A.’s efforts, the Utility Chassis can be refitted for any role that is currently needed.

Termite Construction Rig

   - Type:
       • Constructor   
   - Builds:
       • HQ
       • Mining Base
       • Shipyard Mainframe
       • Colonel Center
       • Defense Grid Pylon
       • Folded Space Gate
Info: Termite Constructors have been in service as long as any utility vessel, and are essential to any V.R.A. base. Constructing virtually everything, the Termites are worth the cost and protection needed to maintain them.

Bee Mining Freighter

   - Type:
       • Mining Ship
   - Abilities:
       • Mines Ore
       • Mines Currency
Info: Huge trails of Bee Miners lead off into resource rich zones under V.R.A. control. The mining freighter is a necessity to the collection of war fuel.

Ant Repair Tug

   - Type:
       • Utility
   - Abilities:
       • Chains
       • Repair Craft
   Grapple Chains: The Tug can tow derelict ships back to a safer location before sending over Repair Crews.
Info: It is a guaranteed fact that ships entering battle will suffer casualties, and the Ant Tug is one of the V.R.A.’s most invaluable support tools. Ships suffering heavy casualties welcome much needed assistance from the Tug’s huge roster of repair teams. When the battle is over and there are dead ships in space, the Tug’s can bring back and repair the derelicts to avoid a critical waste of resources.



Badger Science Vessel

   - Type:
       • Scout
   - Armaments:
       • Flak Canons
   - Weapon range:
       • Medium      
   - Abilities:
       • Deploy Communications Relay
   Deploy Communications Relay: The Badger is able to set up a remote satellite to monitor enemy movements.
Info: Knowledge is half the battle, and a division of Badger Science Vessels are often sent out ahead of fleets to scan and analyze enemy threats.  The Badger’s reliability has been credited to the success of many battles, as their absence would have led to the slaughter of unprepared V.R.A. fleets. They are also often used to locate new resources to fuel the V.R.A. war machine.


Destroyer Chassis

Refits to: Bottlenose, Orca Bombardier, Urchin Missile Frigate
Info: The core from which the V.R.A.’s fast attack ships are brought forth, Destroyer skeletons are numerous in many major shipyard sectors.

Bottlenose Experimental Destroyer

   - Type:
       • Destroyer
   - Armaments:
       • Gattling Canons
       • Flak Arrays
   - Weapon range:
       • Medium   
   - Abilities:
       • Xenon Mass Ignition Thruster (Hawksin only)
   Xenon Mass Ignition Thruster: The Bottlenose gains a huge boost in speed.
Info: A more recent design introduced to the V.R.A’s fleet, the Bottlenose has demonstrated awesome success in its short service time. They are highly effective against larger ships as their speed makes them very hard for most conventional weapons to hit.

Orca Bombardier

   - Type:
       • Destroyer
   - Armaments:
       • Compression Launcher
       • Flak Canons
   - Weapon range:
       • Artillery
Info: When a direct offensive is out of the question the Orca Bombardier offers the basis for a solution. A fleet of Orca Bombardiers can attack incoming fleets long before their target comes within normal firing range.

Urchin Missile Frigate

   - Type:
       • Destroyer
   - Armaments:
       • Missile Launchers
       • Flak Canons
   - Weapon range:
       • Long
Info: Though it is not effective against most cruisers, the Urchin is a very effective anti-battleship craft and has seen much service in the V.R.A. military. Its stock of rapid fire missiles assure that pesky fast-attack enemies are kept at bay while larger V.R.A. ships attend to equally large enemies.


Cruiser Chassis

Refits to: Owl Missile Cruiser, Albatross Cruiser Carrier, Peregrine Heavy Cruiser
Info: The core from which the V.R.A. create their primary warships.

Owl Missile Cruiser

   - Type:
       • Cruiser
   - Armaments:
       • Missile Launchers
       • Flak Arrays
   - Weapon range:
       • Long
   Cluster Missile Mode (Valash only): Activates the ship's store of cluster missiles, disabling all other weapon systems. Each missile drains energy from the ship until it can fire no more.
Info: By far the most widely used ship in the V.R.A, the Owl is mass produced and has proven to be one of the best ships to combat alien threats. Sporting powerful broadside arrays and a stock of missiles to deal with smaller targets, the Owl is a necessity to any commanding officer.

Albatross Cruiser Carrier

   - Type:
       • Cruiser
   - Armaments:
       • Hangars
       • Flak Arrays
   - Weapon range:
       • Medium
Info: A common support ship, the Albatross greatly boosts the defensive value of any fleet with its stock of fighters. A pair of these can quickly and effectively launch a decent swarm of fighter craft to aid a V.R.A. fleet. Incoming fighters have any damage analyzed, and this information is later sent to V.R.A. ship designers in order to better protect future ships from hostile fire and other threats.

Peregrine Heavy Cruiser

   - Type:
       • Cruiser
   - Armaments:
       • Compression Launchers
       • Flak Arrays
   - Weapon range:
       • Artillery
Info: Another common ship in the V.R.A’s arsenal, the Peregrine is famous for its ability to soften up incoming enemies to make them easier for Owls to deal with. Paired with several Owl Cruisers for support, the Peregrine is another essential part of any V.R.A. fleet.


Battleship Chassis

Refits to: Raptor, Rex, Pterodactyl
Info: Every fleet needs a powerful assortment of command ships, and these already capable beasts are able to be upgraded to even more effective battle machines.

Raptor Artillery Battleship

   - Type:
       • Battleship
   - Armaments:
       • I.A.L.
       • Compression Launchers
       • Flak Canons
   - Weapon range:
       • Artillery
Info: Though they are rare in most V.R.A. fleets, a Raptor Battleship can easily turn the tide of a battle. With its long range IAL, the Raptor can siege enemy fortifications from a safe distance while the enemy scrambles and wastes precious time sending out their fleet to counter attack.

Rex Command Battleship

   - Type:
       • Battleship
   - Armaments:
       • Missile Launchers
       • Flak Arrays
   - Weapon range:
       • Long
Info: The pride of the V.R.A. fleet, the Rex is a traditional choice for high ranking Captains and Admirals. A vicious hunter of smaller cruisers, the Rex can tear through large swarms with ease.

       • Battleship
   - Armaments:
       • Hangars
       • Flak Canons
   - Weapon range:
       • Medium
Info: Though it is not mass-produced like most larger ships, a single Pterodactyl drastically boosts the defensive value of a V.R.A. fleet. With a huge stock of fighters ready to launch, the Pterodactyl quickly unloads its cargo into battle.
