But if Starfleet _would_ have put effort into creating a battle fleet, they'd kick Klingon, Romulan and Cardassian butt at the same time. Just look at the Defiant, which is acording to Dukat the most powerfull warship in the Alpha Quadrant (Okay, the Rommies and Klingon are mostly in the Beta Quadrant).

I'm just hoping that in this game they won't go overboard with all the special weapons they tend to add to these games. Does this annoy anyone else here? I mean, they're added mostly to make the game more visually exciting to the average player, but they destroy the sense of Trek technology that we know and love as a consequence. This is probably one of the few reasons I liked "Starfleet Academy" a lot amongst more advanced games - it's got the least new technology introduced ever in a Trek game IMO.

Yes... that's one of the chief reasons I am not buying either Armada or Elite Force. (Well, Armada isn't available for Mac anyway, but if it WERE... ) Some of those little bonus weapons are laughably absurd. Photon grenade blasters or whatever with Elite Force and all those crazy superweapons that Starfleet NEVER, EVER (nor anyone else) used in Armada...
That's why I'm really looking forward to the new "Starfleet Command" game -- it appears that they stick fairly closely to the standard Trek methods of combat.

From the descriptions I saw on the webpage they've got pretty normal weapons in Dominion Wars (except maybe for the spiral wave thingies on the Cardassian ships). But it looks like they're not going to create very weird weapons.
One thing I don't understand is why the Defiant is so damn slow (full impuls speed).
