Star Trek Fleet Command has added Armadas, bringing the thrill of cooperative, team-based play to the wildly successful mobile game.

ComicBook.com brought us that news over the weekend, plus a quick primer on what players of the game can expect. Quoting the piece, “Armadas are a way for players to sync up with members of their alliance to take on bigger threats in the Star Trek-themed free-to-play MMO strategy RPG. [...] In order to participate in Armadas in Star Trek Fleet Command, players must first build an Armada Command Center, which is available at Ops Level 3. Then, choose one of the targets found in Level 20+ star systems across Federation, Klingon, Romulan and neutral space.

“Armada Targets can only be attacked by Armadas as they are too strong for normal attacks to handle. Also, due to their size and power, Armada Targets are not affected by certain bonuses and abilities.” Full details of how to make the most of the new feature was detailed in a post by the Fleet Command team on the game’s official subreddit.

Star Trek Fleet Command is distributed by Scopely. They announced back in August that game had surpassed $100 million in revenue since launching not quite a year ago, in November of 2018. The Kelvin-timeline themed game is available now for iOS and Android.
