==Description==


The life of a seasoned starfighter pilot isn't all glory and adventure. After years of following orders and losing ships and friends, you are now the sole commander, responsible for heading up a momentous strike against your enemy's homeland - either the Empire of Kilrah or the heart of the Confederation. This war requires real strategy, not just hotshot piloting, and you have to determine where to fight, how to fight, and what ships will get the job done. In Wing Commander Armada, you have the freedom to build your own universe, your own missions and your own campaign.

Description

The life of a seasoned starfighter pilot isn't all glory and adventure. After years of following orders and losing ships and friends, you are now the sole commander, responsible for heading up a momentous strike against your enemy's homeland - either the Empire of Kilrah or the heart of the Confederation. This war requires real strategy, not just hotshot piloting, and you have to determine where to fight, how to fight, and what ships will get the job done. In ''Wing Commander Armada'', you have the freedom to build your own universe, your own missions and your own campaign.<br><br>

'''Never play the same game twice as you explore, fortify and mine hundreds of planets in an infinite number of randomly generated universes'''<br><br>

'''Maximize your field of vision by flying in invisible cockpit mode'''<br><br>

'''Pit yourself against a sinister computer, or use a modem or network to combat a player across the country'''<br><br>

Key Features:

* Choose from 3 levels of play - intense dogfight scenarios, strategic search-and-destroy battles, or extended campaigns to destroy an opposing home world.

* Pit yourself against a friend, computer, or with a friend against the computer - via modem or network.

* Live life on the edge as a topnotch Terran or Kilrathi pilot and fly up to 10 different ships.

* Customize taunts and controls with ''Armada's'' built-in audio file integrator and keyboard configuration utility.

* Carefully plot tactical moves to stop your enemy cold - but beware, the tides of war may swiftly turn your next move into your last!<br><br>
