Birth of the Federation

I knew about the Worf Effect, but having Worf "killed" or dismissively hurled across the room by Troi seems like the ultimate insult. Good thing he never fought Wesley.

I've seen 625 population in Vanilla. (On Benzar! But I couldn't build an an epic industry upgrade which cost >65535, and I didn't feel like scrapping/rebuilding lots of industry just to make it happen.) There seems to be a few 400+ on every large galaxy map, while 500+ is much rarer and I've only se...

I don't have any answers yet. But I've got some long weekends coming up to put time into this project. I've seen screenshots of other projects based on this installer which apparently do have clickable links in the base text descriptors (though not in the mouse-hover descriptors), as well as adding ...

I've decided to not even give Discovery a chance. CBS has been too aggressively territorial, shutting down Axanar was a precedent which also shuts down all subsequent fanwork worth watching. It's clear that to CBS the franchise is all about the money, not at all about the canon or the culture or the...

I realized the "bugs" I reported were primarily cosmetic, and I'm not very surprised that they've all been discussed before. But as always more eyes on target and more perspectives sometimes manage to see stuff others missed, and the more attention a bug gets the more attention it gets fro...

Playing with a "Large" (52x39) galaxy map at 1920x1080 is awesome. Maybe other mods support this as well, but BOPL has been my first (and, so far, only) BotF experience at what I consider a "playable" resolution. Game still randomly crashes (on Win7x64 and Win10x64) but much less...

Well, as far as my second bug (scrapping Energy structures) goes ... It seems the game "scraps" Energy output immediately instead of applying it at end of current turn (or at beginning of next turn, whichever). Is there a "simple" fix to delay this procedure (and thus completely ...

Doesn't get much more elegant than a two-bytes hex hack, lol, thanx! Curious why nobody has tried altering what Gowron calls the "global multiplier, M" at 0x1766a4 from 100 to 255 and the "output specific multipliers, m" from 1/100 to 1/255. The reciprocal of 255 (~0.003922) is m...

The setup.exe has internal identifiers which declare "Inno Setup version 5.5.9 (a)" ... Aside from your data, scripts, and packaging, is it modified at all from the default installer at this download page ? I haven't yet looked at it too closely, but I don't think the author provided nativ...

Ach, bugs layered onto other bugs, lol.

... Not sure where to put this thread, and not sure if it's already been discussed (or fixed), but I haven't found the topic mentioned elsewhere and don't mind if it's moved ... First game bug ... Newly-built structures are unpowered if the exact amount of needed Energy is available. Example: a Ship...

Sure, but no promises, lol. Where can I download the installer source?

I'll go with the explanation that Klingons aren't all a simple Planet of Hats species. There's even Klingon non-warriors, doctors and engineers and scientists and politicians and lawyers. Although there's merit to the above argument that Klingons evolved as a predatory, hunter race ... so even the m...

A bit of a necro thread but this subject has always bugged me, too. Apparently Gene Roddenberry famously said "our heroes don't sneak around". So (except for a few badasses like Kirk and Sisko and Section 31) the Good Guys deliberately avoid using cloaking technology. The Klingons use cloa...

My first two years of comp-sci were based on Pascal and Pascal-like languages. Which I have never in my entire career ever had to work with or see again in the "real world". You've already done a fine job with the installer, BotF lives on (and keeps improving) because of it. My suggestions...
