Birth of the Federation

Unfortunately, the AI in BOTF tends to not recognize when it's beaten. As such, often times the only way to "end" a war is by conquering the other empire into submission. Occasionally, it will be smart enough to sue for peace after losing only a system or two, but in my experience, that's ...

Holy cow, was not expecting a new/updated version of UM5. Reading about this makes my week!

Yep, saw that. Nichelle was a wonderful lady, who gave us so much. She'll be greatly missed.

I've received offers for affiliation from majors in pretty much every game I've ever played, so I'd say it's fairly common. What's odd, however, is that while they'll happily offer affiliation treaties to me, and AI empires will sign affiliation deals each other, the AI rarely accepts affiliation tr...

edit fyi new beta version is almost ready, so up to you if you want to wait for that version.

Thanks, tc. I can stand holding off and waiting for the next version if it's just about ready.

Dumb question: So do you want us using this installer instead of the "main" 2.0.0 installer?

A little update here and just to let you know: As it's not really a documented feature. Firefox is overwriting the Windows Energy/Standby Settings. (esp. when watching videos) Only a single comment mentioned that somewhere. I tried to dig a bit deeper but haven't found out much about it. There's pr...

I own both Stardrive games; a pity the developer abandoned both. I was actually a Kickstarter backer for the first one. I know about the Blackbox and Combined Arms mods for Stardrive 1, but haven't gotten around to trying them out yet. I know they get a lot of praise, and that the mod creators have ...

Symbol also for galaxy and main menu made menulike too: Image10.jpg The galaxy map icon and game logo on the pop-up menu don't look quite right for some reason -- possibly because they're "silhouetted"? :???: Not sure. I like this alternate version you came up with above, though. Looks be...

I think it's something along the lines where if you have 2 cloaked fleets go against each other, the cloaking of both cancel the other out and both get to fire on each other at the same time. But if you leave one ship uncloaked for your fleet then the enemy can choose to un-cloack and blow that one...

Looking good.

I'd say that if you have both the insignia and empire name, then the tool-tips are unnecessary.

Amazing work. Thank you, TC and SCT!

Oh, wow. That's awesome.

Oh goodness yes, I think 12 "slots" for the build queue would be plenty.

Tremendous work, by the way!
