Birth of the Federation

Just out of curiosity I decided to perform a stress test for the Supremacy under Win 11. I played 85 turns in an 'over-huge' galaxy, 255x255 sectors. :) I chose to play as the Borg, because of quicker turns. The game has passed the test. But.... The galaxy creation lasted about 7 minutes. The turn 5...

They can still create "normal" trade routes, right? IIRC they have a large homesystem too. And it is the problem, despite their 400 pop, they cannot create any trade rout for now. I am not sure about the Zibalians, I didn't meet them in this game. BTW - the Dominium was completely conquer...

Some other remarks: Kesprytt have the Early Warning Scanner with +50% scan range - maybe you would want to change it into tachyon detection? Bolians have the Trade Union adding +50% to the trade income, but have no building for the trade routs. Also Zibalians are a mercantile race, but without any t...

I have a save 2 turn earlier, so the turn when both proposal were made.
Edit - And again I cannot recall my envoy. I suppose his stauts is missing.

Edit2 - the Borg had two races ready to be assimilated and nothing happened

The diplomacy still needs an adjustment.
I suppose there were too many actions in one turn.

BTW, CaptScarff has implemented additional starting colonies for the empires when starting level is above Early. Should the Borg also get additional colonies like the other empires :?: I think that the Borg should start only with the Unimatrix system, but one TWH within a range of 12 sectors toward...

After 4-5 games in the row somehow I have enough of the Borg for some time, but they are still related in other games. My question - are the Axanar brains not eatable for the Borg? Sorry, do not remember that or met it first time. Screenshot 2023-11-10 115838.jpg So a crazy idea - could the Borg sig...

Is borgoforming ok or too slow :?: It depends on total population in the system and the amount of planets still to terraform. Any suggestions for improvements are welcome. For me the time of the borgoforming is OK. No need to make it quicker. I assume that the assimilation strength depends on fleet...

We should probably decrease the deuterium output now, with the changes to TW travel :?: Maybe make it OnePerSystem, with an output of 3? It would be a huge increase! I have 25 systems with 41 as the output. But in 3 systems the pop is below 100. I admit that I have too much deuterium, but I send on...

Do you think we should keep this change, or go back to insta-terraforming :?: For sure we can keep it. Is it possible to add a condition to have a possibility to build at least one Maturation Chamber in any system? Yes, I have had those 2 on my sights for some time too. I'll see what can be done, w...

Not sure how to handle this, as now the Maturation Chambers cannot be built in Nausicaa... and so the system cannot grow. I can remove the 1Per100Pop restriction, and either make it a OnePerSystem or have no limit. :neutral: Top That was the problem - no Maturation Chamber and decreasing pop becauu...

Hi Iceman, I have started a new Borg game after all changes. Again a nice start with huge minor race systems nearby. The images are definitely OK. The Borg still is meeting the Tritanium limitation in the ship production. I started with the cubes again, just to have the game comparable. I think to a...

I was testing the last update today. It looks good, but.......... I have got not quite typical game. I got (at least) 13 minor races in my quadrant. So the game is really comfortable, because of the generous galaxy set up. In addition I met only Feds so far. Only one remark for now - I was not able ...

What if we use this one for the Subspace Analyser and use the SA's pic for the DS

Deuterium Synthesizer? or more Borgish one
