Unknown Enemy
Heh, it's been ages since I played Armada multiplayer - the last time must have been around 1997, on the network at school. That was an amazing experience - especially in Proving Grounds, when the other players have been killed, and everyone else in the room were crowding around the last two remaining players, cheering them on or trying to distract them into death... great times.
Gameplay-wise, though, I think the main difference between it and WCP is that it was balanced towards multiplayer. WCP has some ships that are simply, objectively, better than everything else - sure, an experienced Wasp player can outdo a Vampire, but most of the time, the Vampire will be the most popular ship. In Armada, there wasn't one particular ship that was better than everything else. You could take up an Arrow and fly circles around someone's Goran... but if the guy was good, all he needed was to line you up just once.
