Dates for events in the game.[]
It says in one of the sections that there is no Stardates for the Enterprise-E Era. But there are Stardates in most of the space shots in the game. They go as follows.: Note: I've just been through this video meticulously for all of the Stardates shown. But some of them are not there.
Hazard Team Beam aboard the Enterprise: 57026.1 (according to a Stardate Calculator that I found online, linked below. This is January 15th.) Arriving at the Dallas: 57038.3. (I don't know where) Arriving at the Attrexian Space Station: 57039.1 Arrival at the planet that serves as the Source for the Space Station Attack: 57042.4. Arrival at Taravar: 57060.2 Krindo arrives on the Enterprise: 57062.5 After the Romulan Base: 57077.6. Tolochon II Arrival: 57080.1. (according to the same calculator, this is January 30th.)
Basically, the entire game according to the stardate calculator takes place between January 15th and January 30th. According to that calculator. Just over a two week period.

- Transcribing the stardates from the game screens is great and i'm happy they'll be added to the article.
- Unfortunately, while the stardate calculator is a great math application for translating them, the dates gleaned from the stardate calculator are not valid for this wiki.
- So keep going with the stardates, but please do not use the calculator for information to be added here -- captainmike

- I'm fine with the ignoring the dates gleamed. But to say that they're not there is inaccurate. Someone better than me at wiki editing will have to do it, unfortunately. --Pauldarklord (talk) 08:42, May 10, 2020 (UTC)
- ok, great - thanks again for writing those down for Memory Beta. i added the stardate lists to the article in a chronology section, and i deleted the crap about the calendar dates from the stardate calculator. thanks! - captainmike

- I didn't add anything to the article if they were. --Pauldarklord (talk) 15:10, May 10, 2020 (UTC) Edited: To add my signature. --Pauldarklord (talk) 15:10, May 10, 2020 (UTC)
- However. the background in the appendices needs rewriting. It states that the dates aren't known. However, MA lists 2379 as being 56 and 2378 as 55. So, if it does go up one in the second number, 57 must mean 2380. --Pauldarklord (talk) 15:15, May 10, 2020 (UTC)

Thank you for that additional suggestion regarding the background section - there was a good deal of copyediting to be done there. I'm a little confused about your comment about ignoring the dates - we're using all the stardates you notified us about. so, thanks again -- captainmike

- After watching through the playthrough normally, I have one more Stardate, but it doesn't make sense compared to the others. 56535.1. From Captain Galloway's Log entry. Now, according to Memory Alpha, Stardates starting with 56 are from 2379. But this is meant to be when the Dallas encountered the Attrexian Space station attack. The Attrexians on the station state that the Dallas transported their crew to the station three days before. --Pauldarklord (talk) 21:33, May 11, 2020 (UTC)
- Also, I thought I should mention that the planet where the Attrexian Space Station is attacked from is called Viok Epsilon V. Because it doesn't look very professional just to say what I put on this page. --Pauldarklord (talk) 21:56, May 11, 2020 (UTC)
- Stardates don't always translate in a uniform manner. We're always first and foremost interested in the stardates themselves, and less so in any presuppositions on how to translate them. the translations are secondary and (especially in cases where they lead to contradictory info) unnecessary -- captainmike

Arc Welder?[]
I will admit that it's been years since I played the game and I've never finished it, but I didn't think the Arc Welder from Elite Force was in Elite Force II. Why is it in the images? --Pauldarklord (talk) 23:55, May 11, 2020 (UTC)
- it is in the images because someone tagged it as being from ELite Force II -- captainmike

Continity muddling...[]
Hi, Me again. The game presents two problems with Novel continuity, one isn't so bad, given how we've tracked down the chronology of the game. But the other... is kinda head-scratching.
One: Crusher is listed as having returned to the Enterprise in one of the 2379 era TNG Novels. This novel isn't mentioned in the background. With it instead just referring to the Nemesis events. Two: Characters in the game consistently refer to Tuvok as a Lieutenant Commander, even though in the Voyager Homecoming novel, he was promoted to a full Commander and he is referred to as such both before and after the timeline of this game.
I don't know how to put a more precise wording of this into the article. Thoughts? --Pauldarklord (talk) 19:17, May 17, 2020 (UTC)
