Birth of the Federation

The problem I have with this bug is when I'm playing as Feds, because I try to play in character. If I'm the Klingons I subjugate everyone unless they are already receptive or above, which doesn't happen often. Romulans I tend to play as xenophobes so I tend to wipe out and colonize all majors and m...

No offense to people who actually like the meat product Spam, but it reminds me of an old joke of mine. First you also have to be aware of another product called Smeat, that's right it is a Spam copy. I don't know how far spread Smeat is, but I've seen it in discount stores all around Michigan. It's...

Does anybody else experience crashes, while playing BotF, where it locks up to the point that a reboot is necessary? Windows button did nothing. If this is the problem I occasionally have then the windows button does work... kind of. When I have this problem and hit the windows button the start bar...

Thank you all for your replies. I have learned some things about the cheats, but I'm more confused about the initial question. So let me ask sean_west's question again... Is there a way to get minors to appear on the diplomatic screen that normally don't because you learned of them through a treaty ...

Ok, I read that as it makes everything on the map visible. Or does it make everyone appear in diplomatic screen? Or maybe it does both? I guess I'll just have to try it myself. Doesn't seem useful if reveals races/ systems not explored, that's half the fun.

read HERE it will give more info on MUDD cheats Well thanks, but that says F9 = "100% research points distributed between current projects". None of the F keys listed seem to do what was talked about here. Perhaps they do multiple things? I don't think I'd want to use the cheat if it's go...

The thing I always thought was funny about crew experience is how it stays with the ship even if it is stolen by another empire. It implies that the ship wasn't hijacked but that the crew defected and took the vessel with them.

Ok forgive my ignorance. What is this F9 cheat? Is it as simple as pressing F9 during play? I have always hated how I can't bribe a member because I have/had a treaty with a major they are/were with. Does this also take care of the problem where you try to offer a treaty to a minor and it is always ...

I wasn't looking for mods. I was looking for a version of the 1.0.2 patch that would work properly for me on XP, so I was mostly searching with variants on "Birth of the Federation patch" and so forth. That's exactly what I was doing when I found the site! I think that the patch is a very...

Huh?


Yes I had to try it. So it does work, although I guess I don't really understand it. Won't people simply write a lot of nonsense to push the post through if they want it bad enough?

Interesting. Especially if there is a way to really beef up their ability to seize enemy vessels above the botf norm.

I could never get the 2.0 version to work. I've used, and continue to use the older Hades patch without a problem.

That's understandable.

If anyone has a saved copy of the UM4 thread from before the crash, dafedz had links in that to where you could download it.
