Be very afraid, I talked with Kougar on messenger tonight and he has the game on order.

It all depends upon the reviews like some of you have said.

My desktop will and can handle anything you throw at it and I am not kidding.

That is un true! In single play yes your statement is correct, In mutiplay you can play any of the four playable races. I would suggest you watch some of the movies and game clips to get a better understanding.

thats what i said you can play them in multiplay i just meant the overall theme of the game is you as a federation commander

Legacy: 4 races

OP: 16 races

Legacy: No Dynaverse

OP: Active and persistent Dynaverse

Legacy: $50.00

OP: $5.00

Legacy: $700 in upgrades just to run it.

OP: Runs like a charm on a standard Dell.

I'll be sticking with OP. This Legacy looks like a cross between Bridge Commander and Armada.

No game touched OP in regards of tactical Depth. I still learn new stuff al the time in this game.

Every once in a while I just need some Eye candy, espicailly since I just bough a X2 4800, New motherboard, and 2 GBs of RAM

I will be getting it but I don't think the game play will live up to the SFC series.

Lepton · « **Reply #30 on:** November 10, 2006, 02:37:48 pm »

It will be a different type of tactical depth. Legacy has these tactical elements:

1. 3D movement
2. Tactical warping
3. Environmental effects on targeting and detection (i.e. actually hiding behind a planet or asteroid, nebula effects)
4. Subsystem targeting
5. Cloaking, obviously
6. An array of differing weapon systems
7. Customizable ships
8. Command of up to 4 ships in a player fleet

I think a better SFC3 is a good analogy is this instance. Obviously, SFC2 just has more of everything, but I think Legacy will have something to offer that we have not yet seen in Trek gaming.

Sounds like 'klingon academy' to me.

Well, I can see issues with number 4 particularly with the multi-player aspect. Almost every implementation of this that I have seen, including SFC3, gives to much benefit with little or no penalty making it the normal attack method instead of something to use in special circumstances.

Not defending the game per se, but targeting subsystems is canon and seems to be done rather readily and easily in most of Star Trek battles. To me it stretches credulity as well. "Target engines!!" That seems to work all the time and it really shouldn't. That said, yes, I am hoping that subsystem targeting means doing damage significantly less often than with general targeting. One reason I mention subsystem targeting is that as far as I know you can literally blow off an engine as happens in the movies and TV shows which to me sounds pretty cool.

According to the legacy forums, there is no film room to watch your missions/ battles back.

I'm still somewhat interested, but this is looking more like SFC3 Lite. Looks great and is less filling.

Braxton_RIP · « **Reply #35 on:** November 10, 2006, 06:37:00 pm »

There is always Fraps if you really want to record your battles that much. Easier to share that way too.

If nothing else perhaps our people can do some recruiting and bring in new blood to sfc2. When SFC3 fizzled we got a few pickups.

Don't forget that it has Rick Knox' models in it.

I'll buy it. Just bought myself a new computer yesterday. Finaly getting rid of the one I got in 1999 and played so many SFC games on it. I'll miss it but it keeps crashing every hour or so.

I also intend on installing SFC:OP on that new comp. I never seen SFC 1, 2, OP on a great vid card. All I had was my 8MB built in video card. Should be intereresting and a all new game for me.

I wonder if I'll be able to starcastle on Legacy (scratches head)
