Birth of the Federation

I've done an extensive search on the forum, but found nothing pertaining to this feature. Can someone explain how the 'Automatic' (AI-managed) system build queue works? Does it even work? I've played the game for many years now and have always preferred spending time to manually micro-manage every s...

Hades hardware settings tend to crash the game on many video card configurations. So we're left with software. but for some reason when torpedoes or phasers are fired the fps goes to zero and lags making the battle go completely slow That's normal. Those phasers firing all at once are quite burdenso...

Thanks.

It seems pretty easy to alter ship stats with this editor. I'll try not to bug you guys with such trivialities anymore.

If this was done all ships would have speed of 4. What ship can not go warp 9? Yes, but there's a heck of a big difference between warp 9 and warp 9.99. Exponential. And the low-tech relics won't have to be touched. I doubt the Constitution could keep up with an Intrepid. Nor does it need to, since...

dev 3 was released less than 1 month ago and has not been changed. you must be talking about prior release. I was certain that outdated installer had a 'dev3' in its filename. Though certainly you would know better. I must have overstated how long ago that was. this would unbalance game way too muc...

As for the Miranda, the order is pretty much canon, since the original Miranda was first issued into Federation service truly before the Soyuz. The second Miranda does represent the highly modernized version we see in TNG and DS9 and is not upgraded any further. Agreed. Somewhere in the back of my ...

Great work, thunderchero. The ship costs have been well-balanced since the last time I brought up the issue. You've also added several new ships models, all of which look awesome. I have, however, noticed a few minor inconsistencies within the federation fleet. Forgive me for nitpicking. The order o...

I will repost stats on tuesday maybe a test version too.

Happy to hear it. Thanks

Hi everyone, as some of you already know some changes are instore for next update. here is a preview of ship and structure stats. UDMIIIb ship and structure html's thunderchero Looking good :) One minor thing I've noticed though is the identical costs of the K'vort and the K't'inga. One is a destro...

The balance of early industry costs could use some work. The Soyuz class destroyer costs 1700 industry; the Constitution light cruiser costs 3400. The starting Cardassian battleship costs 2700 Industry. But the K'vort destroyer AND the K't'inga battle cruiser BOTH cost 4100 industry. Constitution ha...

I did an initial run on Easy difficulty, then tried it on normal -- still not noticing any territorial expansion of the major races. In vanilla botf they do an outward colonizing rush just like I do. Perhaps it's the very limited ship range early on in the game that's hampering their progress? UPDAT...

This more AI reacting to the new intel info on you fleet by changing agendas. since UDM supports more ships it may take longer before they feel their fleet matches yours. I'm more concerned about their complete inactivity. At turn 100 I encounter a major race with only their homeworld, a starbase, ...

one thing though i have noticed a few times. the ai does very well up to when they meet you. then they stop colonising and stop building starbases and stop everything really accept building ships to fight with. My guess this would be due to race changes "agendas" more info here: https://w...

Hey, I'm new to the forum. I reinstalled BotF after years of neglect and discovered BoP only a few weeks ago. This mod makes an already great game even better. Great work, and thank you! Back in the day, most of my botf games were singleplayer, so when I got into it again I was reminded how unconvin...
