Gigantic asteroids tumbled in the distance, until a walloping attack blew them away. All of this flew by at an easy 60 fps. If you are familiar with Colony Wars, you know what to expect, but even CW vets will be blown away by these graphics. Players will command their ship in a full 3D 360 degree environment. Some sections of the game depart from this gameplay and are set on a Federation command ship, where you man a defense turret against an armada onslaught.
Enemies are smart and fly in squad formation.
You'll see them protecting their wingman, swooping as a team, and breaking off for individual attacks once under fire. There are over ten different weapons available to players, including gravity bombs, mines, lasers, a stun attack, and multiple homing rocket attacks. Weapons can be taken from downed ships, a nice feature considering the newest enemy race in the game are advanced weapons experts. The multiplayer game will be both deathmatch and cooperative, letting gamers team up against the galaxy. The story is an all-new creation by the editor of Star Trek magazine.
