Birth of the Federation

It all depends on how I want to play and how much time I have for playing (barely get time to do more than a handful of turns so I've not played in a while) Generally though, I like to start early, slowly expend and then sit back and watch the fireworks kick off, so I'm often playing Romulan these d...

The basic AI behaviour for the Romulans and especially the Cardassians is pretty much spot on, nowithstanding the usual dim-witted battle tactics/can't beat the Borg for cack/generally idiotic building policies that blight all empires equally. Federation is the worst, as mentioned about a billion ti...

Yeah, a fair chunk of that is my doing, what with the amount of times my PC's crashed and all

To paraphrase Voyager:

"If the Continuum has told you once, they have told you a thousand times: DON'T PROVOKE THE MODS!!!"

Haven't seen it. Won't see it. No need when I own the infinitely better TWOK on DVD already

To use a fine McCoy quotation to sum up how I feel about the direction things are moving. "He's dead Jim."

Heh. Loved the #4 comment on that page: It looks like a Michael Bay version of a Deceptacon. I mean that in a bad way. God, ain't that the truth... So who was it in the end? Megatron? Starscream? :razz: Seriously though, that pos makes the nuEnterprise look halfway tolerable in comparison.

They're looking fantastic. :) One minor thing that's bugging me is the Nebula class. The textures are awesome, but the saucer section edge isn't a nice smooth oval like it's Galaxy counterpart. It reminds me of all the old vanilla ships where all the Federation ships all had hexagonal/octagonal sauc...

Build a ship yard and make sure it's powered. You can build or buy ships then, though you'll only be able to build your own ships there, not those of your conquered foe

Son'a Genertic manipulation facility - Biotech research boost. Isolytic testing range - Weapons research boost. Shock invasion taskforce - Ground combat boost. (thinking of the ships, drones and transporter tags they used in Insurrection here) Trill. Trill Science Ministry - General research boost. ...

That kind of pattern is going to be somewhat inevitable given that for all the advances made in modding the game over the years there are still some limitations that have remained. Case in point: the types of bonuses empire of minor race buildings can generate being ultimately tied to research, inte...

oh and i think i spotted an AGP port

Haven't a clue. I'm not all that PC savvy and this thing's five years old now. And just to prove what I said, what on Earth is an AGP port?

Bad systems? I guess that's a cue for my sorry old thing to sidle in :) https://i124.photobucket.com/albums/p2/pinkmarshmallow2006/250213-1211_zpsd43407d2.jpg As I said, nothing much to see in there. 2.11GHz processor, 4gb ram (upped from 2gb) and a Nvidia GeForce 6510SE nForce 430 Graphics card to ...

thanks for the suggestions stardust, I was thinking for vulcans one could be the "P'jem Sanctuary" giving internal security. thunderchero Neat idea. Even in TNG we see they operate some sort of intel agency during The Gambit story :) For the vulcans you have to give them a building relate...

show us your PCs soul... not a chance...... every morning I just hope it starts up. and wonder what will fail today...... thunderchero Ditto. My damn thing's creaking now. It's 5 years old and last year I had to replace the power pack and double the ram to 4GB just to keep the thing in the game. No...

Keep the minor buildings ideas coming next Denobulans and Vulcans thunderchero A couple of suggestions for you as this seems to have gotten lost in the melee :) Denobulans. Medicinal Menagerie (thinking of Phlox's sickbay here). boosts Biotech research. Social hub (or something along them lines.). ...
