Anyknow know a place to talk about Star Trek Legacy?
I just picked up "Star Trek Legacy" at the last library "Book Sale" a couple weeks ago for $2. It has a few bugs that increase the difficulty. I'm wondering if anybody knows of any websites similar to this one for the game that might have fan-made patches or where to ask for hack...

Sister board Armada is down?
I'm getting a 403 Forbidden error when trying to access the sister board on this site for Star Trek Armada. https://www.armadafleetcommand.com/onscreen/armada/ Was there only enough funding to save the BoTF board? I'm not privy to the history of this site from before 9 years ago, but I always wonder...

Re: time to change site logo ship
You could always go with a rotating logo. Have a script (or CROM) change it daily/weekly/monthly. You have 24 choices up there, add two more and make it rotate biweekly and you'd have a year's worth.

Re: BotF would make the perfect Tablet game.
EDIT: This link suggests there have been no developments since 2018, although there are versions for XP, Linux, and Win 7-10.

The computer version IS readable on a 17" monitor under XP.

Re: BotF would make the perfect Tablet game.
Sorry, I haven't been following it. My eyesight is degrading, and the text is too small on my 6" phone such that it gives me eyestrain with glasses, so I wouldn't know.
I imagine it might look good on a decent sized tablet however.

Re: View all ships
I there anyway of viewing all your ships in a single screen list. I know how to view owned planets in a single list, but for the life of me can't find something similar for ships. Pls For that matter, it would be nice if when scrolling through the list of owned planets you could easily FIND a plane...

Re: Play as more than one Empire
Well, when I was in school we managed to install Windows XP virtual machines with only 4gb virtual hard drives. The problem is activation. I can't recall if Windows 2000 requires activation, but it too can make due with only 4gb. Alternately, try downloading XP mode which is really just a virtual ma...

Re: Play as more than one Empire
Hey NayThanLok, I think the best you can do is to run multiple windowed BotF instances in a multiplayer game. This can be done, but dxwnd I remember had some issue to run multiple instances from same install directory. And given the registry can only be setup for one game at a time and is required ...

Re: Windows Update strikes again
Lets start with the weird one (1.). 1. PC is in sleep-mode. I walk by and it wakes up as if it would get an input by keyboard/mouse to get out of sleep again. I'd describe this as some Cylon-level shenanigans and have no idea what makes the PC wake up. It's like it can sense me. It can, the vibrati...

Re: Demands. Sounds crazy but I can't find any explanation about them here.
I mean both, however the major empires tend to be much less straightforward than the minors when it comes to diplomacy. With the minors, they are like the Ferengi should be. Strictly transactional. You pay them money, they start to like you more in proportion to the bribe. Get your rep high enough a...

Re: Demands. Sounds crazy but I can't find any explanation about them here.
So if I send a demand to another race, will it reduce my relationship bar drop? A bit (more if they accept IIRC) and the bad experiences count increases. You can do something 'good' to compensate like attacking ships of their enemies. The same happens if you send frequent proposals and get rejected...

Most of the time they get mad at you.

Re: Demands. Sounds crazy but I can't find any explanation about them here.
I rarely get the computer to accept a demand.
The only use I have for it is to make the computer mad and break a treaty so I don't get the morale hit.

Re: How to end a War
My own experience is that once you get significantly more powerful than the next strongest race by the metrics on the intelligence screen (which is not necessarily truly stronger, depending on what structures you've built, you get into a situation where every other AI race that isn't already allied ...
