What is this 2D-ish star trek computer game?

I remember an old star trek game, it took place in a big map with nebula’s and planets, had a big asteroid belt, and on the other side there were the Borg. You had to start out by repairing ships that were floating damaged, like a mining ship that mined the moon, and you could build shipyards and sensor stations. It had an online version in the main menu. Anyone remember what this was?

The only star trek strategy games I know of are Armada 1 and 2. But both were 3d.
If you are interested, there is a mod that completely overhauls Armada 2 to modern graphics.

You need the Armada 2 installation disc, though, but you can torrent that one easily.
I think it was armada 2, I recall the disk thing, but when I say 2d-ish, you could view the map from the top but also rotate and change view angle, so i guess it was 3d, but styled differently, not sure if that makes sense
yeah it was the first one, ill definitely play armada 1 again quickly and then try the mod for the second one.
Netrek is a tactical 2d Star Trek game.
@ragingloli Just wondering, what do I downloa dto update the graphics, the armada 2 patch, or the fleetops one? There’s no FAQ or real answer on the site.
@ragingloli Ahh, ok.
Is there a way to get the campaing to work, cause I’d like to play that.
nope. only if you if you have the original game in a separate installation. The mod also changes the gameplay mechanics which breaks the campaign scripts.
Damn, I really want to play campaing mode, but the regular isntaller just quits after you hit install :(
Ahh, after some googling I tried safe mode, works for some reason.
Also, when you install fleetops, you do not need an existing armada 2 installation. the fleetops installer will ask you for the armada 2 disc.
