Birth of the Federation

botf emblems transparent.png So believe it or not, about a month from now marks the 25th anniversary of Birth of the Federations release— it's pretty crazy to think about, but here we are 2.5ish decades later with a much more playable (and less crash-happy) version of the game that still has a mode...

This one makes a big difference for T4/5 Cardassians/Romulans: 2.1 Always-100% Intel-Area-Bonus Bug-fix Playing vanilla Cardassians (+30% Obsidian Order) allocating each 1% espionage/sabotage hurts the enemy with 62% of your total intel output. Correct calculation is just 2.6% of your total intel o...

So essentially that was vanilla bug/flaw that hurts Roms? err The bug gives vanilla Romulans an extra cheat advantage of +25% manned intel output local in Romulus (Tal Shiar should be only global empire wide). Still no serious gamechanger and the least important of the three listed. Vanilla T8 Roms...

That I was not privy to yet. So essentially that was vanilla bug/flaw that hurts Roms? err

Note: Scientific- & Military Intel still must be unlocked in the systInfo code, but this will go into another topic that will feature fixes for many building output bugs & broken output types, including the % intel total (empire-wide & local) two-in-one bug: So the patch 'intel bug fixe...

Glad someone else noticed this. The Minor race ship explosion seemed off somehow, and now we know why. Nice work.

It means your star system needs a yard in order to get any ship scrapping revenue. MP folks mostly scraps colony and TT ships the same turn and the same location they were built, so it doesn't matter since there is a yard anyway. But sometimes if you steal a useless ship via intel it might get relo...

Congratz! So the Klingon fleet mostly consisted of weak untrained battle cruisers II I guess? Lame Klingons! If it was Heavy Cruisers, you had no chance! :twisted: It's vanilla so the only threat there was the Attack Cruisers, which is a total monster of ship but so few in number (presumably) it di...

I don't remember what this entails, but I'm assuming it's innocuous

50% patch code is from Gowron: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=6391#p6391 Ah yes that is Gowron's-- quite an old post and I admit not reading it entirely. Today I went solely off from the author listed in the patch.file that said SCT for some reason :shock: Anyway, ...

Should be version 3 (major code modification). I think DCER coded minor ships (based on minor race tech - not displayed in game) in addition to the own empire ships, but only in event of membership, not subjugation (I might be wrong?). Last years Rai mp mod for the tournament had version 3. It is i...

This flew right over my head the other day, but isn't this the same patch that the UE can apply? I was thinking 'Buildable minor race ships'

Hey there. I have a lot of questions as always, but this one problem seems an easier one to sort (sorry lol). Here I have the 50% credit return from scrap by SCT-- how would you adjust it so scrap ships give 75% of credit return instead of 50%? NAME: Disable the ship scrapping exploit [50%] (fix) AU...

It does NOT care about the ship type/function. So depending on current list sorting the minor races might build kinda useless random fleets with mostly colony and TT ships. The list sorting has bugs: https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/botf/viewtopic.php?p=57382#p57382 Not perfect but a lot...

I've been wondering recently: does simply setting a minor to 'space faring' and giving them a new ship in UE ensure that they'll actually appear during development cycles? I would test this myself but I could save a little time asking the question first. I've noticed too in vanilla and many mods tha...
