1."Is there a game that Armada can be compared to? I'm imagining a combination of Elite and Battlecruiser 3000 A.D. but with much more depth."
--Armada has a great deal of depth. As for comparisons to BC3K, there is such stigma attached to that project that any comparison to it is like a curse.

2."This game seems pretty complex to where you have to be a mere genius to play, only sounds that way because of the way you explain the game.Is the game going to be as complex as it sounds, or is it going to be playable for any person."
--It is very easy to start playing. You choose a race, roll your stats, and start a mission. The depth is there for those who are hard-core and want to rule the galaxy.

3."When are you going to show some screen shots of the game or some screen shots of ships and bases."
--there are some pictures posted on the metro web site now

4."Is this game suppose to be similar to lords of the realm. or are you just competing with other rpgs such as diablo and diablo's sequel.is this game sort of like a test to make other rpg's like Armada.and are the rest of the games you guys produce going to be online based games"
--We prefer On-line games. Armada is more like Diablo than LotR. However, the design of Armada is very unique.

5."Are you guys going to publicize your game more this time since hardly anyone knows star com............."
--Yes.

6."Must a player have a 3dfx card or rendering card to play this game."
--Some sort of hardware acceleration is necessary. The current requirements for playing Armada are at the beta sign up at the metro page.

7."When will We beta test it???"
--I hope to get it to all of you by October.

8."What role playing elements are you going to include???"
--The game is huge. You'll experience it in the Beta.

9."And last do you think that Armada is going to have a good sound track(that is vital in all RPGs)?"
--Yes. Most of the music is done. It is grand music that evokes John Williams.

10."Are you guys trying to out do Diablo.....and /or starcraft...."
--We are trying to make a great game, as all game developers do.

11."What are some good 3d cards out there now...and / or some good cheap ones........."
--The Diamond Monster isn't bad and its $150.

12."Are you guys going to upgrade deluxe with a patch to equallize the game play of both games...."
--Armada is a totally different game.

13."Are you guys shooting for another game besides Armada or you guys are all focused on Armada.....a game more like star com--refer to first part of quest.--......"
--We'll make a spectacular RTS in the future.

14"Have you played orge battle from Snes and/or playstation....will this game be like that..--arm--"
--No. I like that sort of game. Try Final Fantasy Tactics.

15."Do you guys think you can make a better action game than dukenukem......"
--In theory. Duke Nukem was great for its environments (movie theater, restroom, etc.).

16."If I recommended a ship, would you guys build it into Armada if it was good? Or have you already made all the ships possible."
--Of course (if you come up with something everybody likes).
