Re: Star Trek: Infinite - BOTF successor? Possible

The game undeniably has some issues right now, but I'm still enjoying it nonetheless. I expect further patching will smooth out a lot of the rough edges.

Re: Star Trek: Infinite - BOTF successor? Possible

Personally, I'm stoked for this one. It's quite literally a melding of my two favorite space 4x games of all time -- BOTF and Stellaris -- so Star Trek: Infinite is pretty much the game I've been dreaming of. :up:

Re: POLL: TECH LEVEL STARTS

I always start myself at Tech level 1, with the other empires at least Tech level 2.

If I'm playing as the Federation or Ferengi, however, then I put the other empires at tech level 3. (Except the Ferengi; I put them at no higher than Tech level 2, due to how well they usually do.)

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 Redux (New)

...Except now my game is crashing whenever I click on the Heavy Cruiser 1 or Heavy Explorer in the Federation tech tree. (It did not do this when I started this game.) Sigh.

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 Redux (New)

You say the issue is new in UM5.5? That is correct, yes. To the best of my knowledge/recollection, I've never encountered this bug in vanilla BOTF, or in any other mod. I'm also quite certain I didn't experience this issue with the previous version of UM5. If you really want to avoid this crash you...

Re: Ultimate Mod 5 v5.5 Redux (New)

I'm now running into a consistent bug (that I've not seen before): Playing as the Federation, the game crashes when I click the End Turn button -- but only if I have multiple Colony Ships grouped together in the same task force while terraforming a planet together. If they're terraforming the same p...

Re: Games will not start from launcher on Windows 11

Huh, I seem to be lucky in this regard. My PC that I bought last year came with Win11 pre-installed (which I still hate, btw), yet I've not had any real problems launching/playing BOTF. And yes, that's with using the launcher version from here. My genuine sympathies for Elson_Vi and anyone else with...

Re: Saving the Game

No, it should save everything you did during that turn right up to the point you actually saved the game.

Re: How to end a War

Unfortunately, the AI in BOTF tends to not recognize when it's beaten. As such, often times the only way to "end" a war is by conquering the other empire into submission. Occasionally, it will be smart enough to sue for peace after losing only a system or two, but in my experience, that's ...

Yep, saw that. Nichelle was a wonderful lady, who gave us so much. :sad: She'll be greatly missed.

Re: Major race affiliation

I've received offers for affiliation from majors in pretty much every game I've ever played, so I'd say it's fairly common. What's odd, however, is that while they'll happily offer affiliation treaties to me, and AI empires will sign affiliation deals each other, the AI rarely accepts affiliation tr...

Thanks, tc. I can stand holding off and waiting for the next version if it's just about ready. :)

Re: All in one 2.0.1 beta 4 available

Dumb question: So do you want us using this installer instead of the "main" 2.0.0 installer?
