Updating Lawful Stupid since it heavily relates to Martok's view of the Federation.

* LawfulStupid: In ''II'', the Federation sends their main battle fleet into the Delta Quadrant, assuming that their enemies will be honorable and not stab them in the back. The first Klingon mission "A Dagger At Zarush" has Martok and his forces responding to a Cardassian uprising; they are taking advantage of the Federation being vulnerable.

* LawfulStupid: At least Martok has this opinion of the Federation, but it's not unfounded. This mentality is justifiable to an extent when one remembers that the Federation has considered itself in a perpetual state of war against the Borg as a whole (demonstrated by Admiral Nechayev's admonishment to Picard in the episode Descent, telling him that he should have taken the opportunity given with Hugh to attempt to wipe out the Borg), and the transwarp portal gave them the opportunity to take the fight to the Collective itself for the first time. It still doesn't justify the sheer ease that a Cardassian surprise attack wipes out the Starfleet forces at Zarush.

* ObviousBeta: The first game suffered a really bad case of this on its initial release, and the 1.1 patch didn't do a whole lot to help things. Worse still, Activision cut off support for the game only a couple of months after its initial release, leaving incoming ''Armada II'' developers Mad Doc Software to create a 1.2 patch that finally fixed all the major problems with the game. ''Armada II'' itself suffered a few bugs on its initial release, including one very obvious problem in that ship explosions weren't implemented properly, but was nowhere near as bad as the first game.
