Birth of the Federation

I recall the situation. It mostly happens if there is a bribing/bidding war with another empire i.e. some hidden counts are not in your favour. Might also be a glitch (one time I failed to turn a minor even after more than 30 maximum possible bribes) or special codes for certain minor races/personal...

Borg TacCube shield recharge reduced to 10%. Just as a reminder, BotF uses a fixed recharge value, no percentage. Shield Strength / Recharge: Borg Cube - 6100 / 185 Edo God - 6350 / 235 So even a recharge rate of 10% per turn is still high compared to the fixed defaults, more aggravated using firep...

The main problem was that neither side could actually penetrate the other's shields, because of the high recharge rates. This repeated shields recharge issue in Supremacy sounds strange. A poorly armed support ship vs an unarmed hub/station is the only understandable special case for the issue, but...

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...

Just the link should be fine. Alternatively copy/paste upper text (part above the quote with the joke links).

One other crash I get every other savegame load is: trek.exe 0x000b6c66 This one sometimes even shows up when I solely keep loading unmodified vanilla games. But with modified files it often becomes more frequent. With some games it repeatedly already shows up each second time I load the save. Then...

I won!

Outstanding Victory! Congratulations! How about a detailed after action report of this challenging match?

I think it is time to wrap up this update. (end of march) Is this only update currently needed for ECM? Sorry for the delay. Yes, I think ECM is good to go. :wink: I lost a considerable amount of Defiants vs the Cardassian AI :evil: , but auto-battle is still exploitable, even against Borg. Also I ...

I passed Tech level 6 and nothing happened for the Tamarians but when I got up to 8 for all techs, the Breen popped and when I made them members, I could build their ships. Just to be clear it's about the (hidden) minor race tech levels. You own tech levels don't matter for this feature, even after...

There is the the viewable regard value and also hidden counts for good/bad experiences vs each empire. Pay up + ignore/reject - In most cases paying AI requests increases the chance of them not attacking you and/or teaming up with another empire against you. But if your empire is too weak, military ...

I did notice (limited testing) if I re-issued the combat orders each turn no crash. so far 3 test combats 19 turns each combat test. This sounds strange, but there is some issues with some combat orders. E.g. HOLD has to be re-issued each turn (gets auto-changed by BotF code) and more important Cha...

other than place other slots on hull not sure what else I need to do? do the damage slots need to be part of bsp? right now I am adding them after bsp have been added. I don't think I need to add scar.gif at any point. I think that is all done by trek.exe code. I guess all I can do is test. EDIT; I...

So basically sort of a variant of the 3D model LOD feature issue?

Btw if mod is ready/finished with beta tests, I'd add 'BotF random engine fix' (patch code auto skips MP games to prevent any issues).

So how it's going with the freelancer?

I think you forgot to mention that the three proxy files have to be deleted in mod directory to use DxWnd launcher?
