Birth of the Federation

Is it possible to disable the music for battles without turning off the music for the rest of the game? I like to hear the sound of the ship weapons without any backround music; but I like the atmospheric music for the campaign map.

Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to switch AI difficulty in mid-game (saved game)? I'm playing a really enjoyable campaign right now (using the Error Correction Mod), but I'd like to change the difficulty from "hard" to "impossible." Can this be done? Is there a "saved game editor?" Than...

I'd like to use a mod which improves the AI, but otherwise keeps the vanilla game the same; since I'm a new player. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

What do all the different catagories in the Configuration Settings file do? Can I mod the victory conditions from here?

Can the victory conditions be modded anywhere? Thanks in advance.

Are there any mods which improve the AI and diplomacy specifically? Diplomacy not yet (AFAIK). I read the UDM3 AI is one of the best out there, in terms of shipbuilding & aggressivity, don't expect it being smarter, though. Also avoid enlarged maps & epic games if you want the AI performing...

Hi. I just started playing BotF for the very first time a couple of days ago and I'm really enjoying it (to say the least)! I first heard about BotF a couple of years ago, but (even though I've been a life-long Star Trek fan) I was concerned that maybe it was too dated (it was about 10 years old at ...

Buy BotF? As in pay money? Well, I hate to crush your dreams of 'buying' a copy of the game, since nobody pays for the game anymore. You can download the multi installer of the game, and play all the mods as separate games as well as vanilla BotF. ;) Interestingly enough, the Multi Installer topic ...

I desperately want to play Birth of The Federation (I've never played it before), but the only place I can find it is on Amazon and E-bay and it's over $100. Is there any place I can buy BotF for a reasonable price? I'm a life-long Star Trek fan and I'm also a fan of Master of Orion 2, which seems t...

Hi there, Daemon Tools is a program which adds 1 or more virtual drives to your PC. This program in addition with images make the CD unnecessary to run the programs. It's not very hard. There ya have some instructions. Open Daemon Tools. In case you haven't downloaded it yet, the latest version can...

Hi; I'm trying to use the ISO downloadable version of the game. I downloaded it and extracted it to a new folder (as the instructions say), but I don't understand how to "mount it on deamon tools". I'm not experienced with computers, so I have no idea how to do that (nor have I ever even h...

Hi; I just joined today. I'm still trying to get my download of the game to work. I was wondering if there's a single-player mod that is set in the "original series" universe. Better still, would be a single-player mod that has the races, map and ships of the old board game "Federatio...
