Birth of the Federation

Sorry Mentat to go off topic, but I was wondering how you were doing with your scenerio you mention? Any idea when you expect it to be completed? I see that thunderchero is still making some nice changes to the mod, will you bundle your scenerio with the final release of UDM? Or have it as a seperat...

I agree with Mavoisin, sadly the odds of a company getting good returns on this aren't promising. Look at Star Trek Legacy, that was an action game, developed and published by big companies, must of had a lot of resources and money thrown at it, had reasonable graphics to appeal to the masses, and d...

While i'd love a BOTF2, and have wanted a official sequel for years, I dont think its a possibilty and I'd think no developer would touch it. Why? i) Botf1 wasn't that popular even 9 years ago, and didnt score that high in reviews. It is a cult game really, with a small following. ii) Star Trek game...

I agree with Mentats rationale, I think we are both singing from the same hymn sheet here in our thoughts... I disagree with Tethys i'm afraid. The Gorn, though only on screen in TOS and ENT (TAS not included) are considered a moderate power in the Star Trek universe, even if most is from non-Canon ...

I tend to disagree with saying the Son'a aren't influential. Remember that the Son'a were one of the very few species that could produce Ketacel white, and both the Federation and Dominion were making moves to be friendly to them. Also, the Son'a themselves (seemingly) had conquered at least two sep...

Hi Everyone, Here is dev 3 > Dev 3< This is full installer so uninstall all previous UDM installs before installing. main change to dev3 is ship scale. Over 1100 new ship files have been added to this version. With some new ships and new look for dominion. enjoy, and please give feedback. thunderch...

Ok, thanks! I'll give it a go. But for a map that size does that also not cause other BOTF problems? 1) Large maps equals mega slow-down after 100 turns or so (hence the reason I was focussing on smaller maps, and even then you get slowdown) 2) Large maps doesnt mean the computer player occuping mor...

Thanks for the reply mentat. I had a suspicion this was a just a game AI issue, and not related to this mod. The odd thing about it is my fleet is small in comparison. I have 27 ships (9 of which are transports), the Cardassians (my allies) have 43, and mostly appear to be Galors. Not sure about my ...

Oh good. Only instance I found so far. :) 107 turns in to 3.0.1 Dev 2b, three hours of gaming so far, and i'm still seeing no attacks from the AI. In fact, even my allies (the Cardassians) dont do anything! Minors move across the map, in fact they are probably the most active! Playing on a Medium ma...

Just trying new updated mod.

One bit of feedback, very minor (but may want to change in a future release). I just declared war on Dominion and they sent a message to me saying "I didnt have the lobes for Galactic commerce"

siggi has been MIA for about 7-8 months and his for shared has been closed due to inactivity. here is latest Dev version, but only about 1 week before next test version is released. :wink: UDMIII_3.0.1dev1_b Thanks thunderchero, I think i'll wait till your next version. Makes more sense. Do you hav...

I know increasing the difficulty makes the game harder :wink:, but what does increasing the difficulty actually do in terms of the games mechanics? Some games, like C&C3, increasing the difficulty setting does nothing to the AI routines, it only increases unit production and resources available ...

…. 10-15 turns had passed, and neither race had sent any ships to invade my territory; but prior to the non-aggression pact, their ships were all over my territory, bombing the heck out of me, so I had found it weird that nobody was doing anything against me… just wondering if anyone el...

Hi, Only just joined the forum. I loved BOTF in 1999 and have spent hundreds of hours on it. Now with the Ultimate Dominion Mod I feel this game is almost perfect, the way it should of been. Thank you. My only issue with the modded game is the frequency of star systems. I'm playing single player, an...
