Birth of the Federation

Hows it going Brian, hope things are sorted,since you put me on to the UE some time back I have been tweaking this mod, adding ships,adjusting costs, ranges etc its a great tool to use, but I'm no modder by any standard. One thing I would like to see and I'm not sure if it's possible is to have ship...

The best way to learn, is to go thru the school of hard knocks,and getting the sh*t kicked out of you.
I like playing from the start rather than later tech levels cause I think the AI does a better job of expanding,
and there is nothing like finding out that the AI is wearing big boots.

Turn 100, feds,started at tech 1,no crashes.Changed a few things with UE, map size large 52 x 39, background back to original, all scouts long range,no short range ships except colony ships, did not like to see my Constitutions out ranged by transport ships.Good to see that outpost/starbases have re...

Downloaded today, looks fantastic, have not had time to give it a real bash yet. But the ships and the number of ships is great, colonising gas giant moons and asteriods great,and all the new tech stuff.Thanks to all involved, my wife is going to miss me again.

Cheap outposts from your local dealer, what a bargin, well it would be in my current AAML game. With maintenace costs up to 400 for outpost II, 600 for III, finding it hard to exploit them the way I use to. The AI must be in on a deal, getting them at half maintenace price. The solution, well in my ...

Ok I agree with you Adi, tough but not invincible, and my comments only apply to sp games, cause as said the AI can be dumb.I think that if they are to strong the player can really exploit them by building the Maginot line, or a starbase highway thru Indian country etc. No starbases or outposts? may...

You may want to change a few things with the UE, fed command cruiser has a torp range of 140, I changed it to 1400. Cards tactical cruiser looks a bit sad for what you pay, Klingon battle cruiser does not upgrade, when I think it should. Minor ships I think are overpowered, player can exploit this b...

Looking forward to what comes out,thanks for your work.

Just started UDM3, and I'm loving it, so well polished,on many levels,planets are just right,build times for all things, ships, even the outposts which I originally belived to be overpowered have saved my bacon early in the game. Playing feds on hard, early war with the Romulans, they are really giv...

Great strategy game, strong or weak outposts and starbases. enjoying
playing it,getting no sleep, glad I discovered it, great to get feed back
from veteran players. Thanks all.

I agree with the post originator, outpost and starbases should not be overpowered, backbone of defence should be the starfleet. These bases would not in reality be able to defend a planet or a system, but have been added for game mechanics.They are support facilities, fueling stations, and observati...

Im loving this mod, love the ships and various starting periods, TOS is my favourite. Some of the changes I will try to make using UE will be to reduce the power of the outposts and starbases, a player could be tempted to build the Maginot line in space as they stand. Perhaps increase ship maintence...

It worked, yeh ha , only thing I had to do was use the larger maps from the dominion mod to get things going. First time I used the UE. Again thanks Brian, you have been a great help.

Thanks for your help and thanks for your time, will have ago at this.

Hi all, this mod looks fantastic, have not had a chance to fully get into it yet, but it looks like what Botf should have been from the start. Just one thing I want to change is the background image on the galaxy map back to the original, can any one help?
