Videos of x-box play are out.  Just eye candy. Less tactical depth than sfc 3. Get your trigger finger ready. Video link at legacy forums and wgleague.

Yep, when a Connie refit has just two phaser hardpoints on it, we definitely are below SFC3 standards.  It's a real shame.  There is some possibility that the gameplay footage is old and that things have been made more canon, but I doubt it.  I am still buying it if the reviews say that it doesn't suck, but at this point with the reduced feature set and less than stellar weapons implementation, I don't think it is going to have a lot of replay value.

Judging from that video, the game looks like a cross between Bridge Commander and Armada.  Very pretty but there doesn't seem to be much to it.

One positive thing that I have seen is apparently the game will be highly moddable with even the creation of new weapons, so things that are goofy or missing might be fixable.

Shouldn't have to have the modders fix it. What will that mean for balance?  Two hardpoints for phasers on the Connie?  Cloaking has a time limit?  Cloak and warp need time to recharge?  Photons only work on the hull and not shields?  Wrath of khan type battles were supposed to be the inspiration?  What a joke!  I note that the Legacy forum is offline today too!  What next?

I agree.  It's not a pretty picture.  I just about laughed out loud when I heard Conti or whoever say that TWOK battle was the inspiration.  I think that is total marketing BS.  Any trekkie loves that battle, so he says it so that he can show you he knows what you want.  Saying and delivering are two different things.

Well I am certainly not buying it dec. 8th if it makes that date. I'll see what people say and I'll hold off definitely on upgrading my system until boxing day, if I do at all.  Is there any good multiplayer space  simulator out there right now that has a good player base without a monthly fee?

Some guy in Edmonton says that ToysRUs has the Xbox version for sale today.  Significant doubts are being expressed.

futureshop.ca has just moved back the release date from december 5th to 8th.   ::)   IMagine if it looked and played like this?  http://www.gametrailers.com/umwatcher.php?id=16457   Picture star trek ships instead and think of how it would have revived the trek gaming franchise. this looks like babylon 5 meets BSG.

If Nexus 2 does actually come out, I bet Darkdrone will make the conversions to get Trek ships into that game. He was one of a handful of folks that did that for the first Nexus game.

That looks incredible (and reminds me of Freespace 2), but it'd be incredible waste of an awesome game engine like that to make it trek based IMHO, but I'll buy it if it ever get finished (Nexus 2).

After play testing this game for a few hours i have uninstalled it,Legacy is just Armada with better visuals but its still the old Armada engine,if you liked Armada then you will like Legacy,personally SFC3 is actually a better game (oh my God did i actually say that) LOL, i guess its back to OP.

crim i followed the link you posted just to read about the game a little and all i can say is omg. you guys thought the taldren boards got hot from time to time take a peek over there its all out nuclear war!!

looks like legacy will go down as the biggest bomb in star trek history.

perhaps now we will get a true sfc3.
