Pointless and frustrating storyline otherwise good game.
However where the game fails is the Game is bloody frustrating and pointless. I have to think the writer of the story must of hit his head too many times. You have to do like 12 missions with each race before you unlock the next one. Where you spend the next 12 missions undoing everything you supposed to of done in the first 12 missions.
The most irratating one is the Borg final mission invasion of earth, That battke could last from an hour up to 3 hours if you do it properly. You conquer earth n assimulate earth 3 cheers . but! no wait.
After the borg you get a new lot of missions, The enterprise went back in time. So woo joy you get to reply the same battle you just spent 3 hours fighting all over again but this time the opisite side. The multiplayer never seemed to work even on gamespy not enough people playing it. Also the games couldn't handle it.
with interenet stress and the normal graphic glitches it has of it's own. Yet dispite all that the original defently has out done its sequal.
Given all the flaws already said Star trek Armada is better than ST:Armada II
