Playing this game reminds of what Star Trek was all about. The voice overs and background music were great, true representations of what you’d expect from a mod based on Star Trek. That’s not detrimental, just a difference from the base game. It takes a little longer to bring planets into your empire and the economy seems a little more “sluggish” than the base game. To me it seemed like this mod gave the game a slower start. The drawback is that you lose the opportunity to gain any special abilities through a minor faction, all you can do is “assimilate” them instead. Just conquer or assimilate and be done with it. One less option to worry about, sort of like the Kra’Hen in Imperium Galactica 2, none of that sniveling diplomacy. Of the five factions the Borg is the easiest to start out with simply because “Negotiation is Irrelevant,” which means the entire diplomacy branch is not used for the Borg Collective. This mod still employs all the basics of the SINs game, explore and conquer in a Star Trek setting.
Now I can have the pleasure of either spreading my “goodwill” (by conquest if necessary) as the Federation, or I can just outright assimilate the entire galaxy as the Borg. Modding one of my already favorite games into a Star Trek game was impossible for me to resist, which is why I installed this mod. I love Star Wars stuff, but Star Trek has always been my favorite science fiction setting. It offers a customized interface for each faction, plus it replaces the Sins factions with five playable faction that were available during the Dominion War.
The most noticeable thing about this mod is that almost everything in the game now represents something in the Star Trek universe. Star Trek Armada 3: Uprising is a total conversion mod.
