Birth of the Federation

Hey Iceman! Glad this is a topic of discussion, as I *LOVE* the Dominion and also have edited their traits and buildings in each new release to fit with my vision of how they should be in the game. As a caveat, since I rarely play against other people, I have not generally been concerned with keepin...

Happy to be able to keep playing and lend my support! I don't have any programming skills at all (I'm limited to editing XMLs), but if you ever setup a Patreon for this I'd be happy to subscribe. For me, I'd just like to be able to mod the lifespans. I'm currently trying a version of the game in whi...

Hey there! I'm playing the latest version and, as always, I'm super impressed with the ongoing progress! Thanks for keeping this going. Out of curiosity, where is the modifier for agent lifespan based on race? The one that makes Vulcan agents live twice as long as Humans, I mean. I went poking aroun...

As always, the game continues to get better and better. Nice work! :-) A few questions/thoughts: 1) Is it possible to play as the Borg? Is that planned? And 2) if y'all have time to create this feature in a future build of the game, an 'auto upgrade' option for the system window would be great. I'm ...

Hey, Iceman, can you give a summary of what's new/improved in the latest release?

I'm actually not sure if it needs to be improved, because I can't figure out when it applies or not. I've tried changing the amount of population assigned to industry and it doesn't seem to make a difference - some systems get a bonus while others don't. I'll keep testing it, though, to see if I can...

Hi, Iceman - Nice work, as usual. Sorry for not replying on your last question about the agent/crash situation. I'm honestly not sure the circumstances, but I haven't had any problems with this release. I do have a question about how the game determines the system industry bonus for shipyard product...

Not sure where to report this, but I found a bug. Playing as the Federation, I assigned Archer as the envoy to the Deltans (I know agents don't do anything yet, but figured what the hell). When the Deltans joined the Federation and I ended the turn, the game crashed. I checked out the error log, saw...

Awesome work, Iceman. I love how the game continues to get better and better. Keep it up and happy holidays! :-)

The new release looks great! Thanks for your hard work. :-)

I see that wormholes are now working! Is there a summary list of updates for this version?

Is there an ETA for the next release? I find myself eagerly checking the download site every few days. :-)

Sure thing, Iceman. :-) On a related note to the canon map: has anyone tried hex editing a saved game file? I took a crack at it this afternoon and couldn't figure out how to manipulate the galaxy map. Every time I thought I'd isolated the correct hex values for the coordinates of a star system, I'd...

Not sure where this would land on the priority list, but it would be cool to have an actual "canon" map in future releases. Right now the home quadrants of each of the races/empires can be randomized or set to canon. It would be awesome if there was a version of the map with the Sol system...
