Birth of the Federation

I defeated the honourable Klingon Davros with guile and underhandedness to advance to the second round.

Hopefully I'll actually get to play my opponent this time, unlike last Season where Chris didn't get to beat me because I couldn't get Warzone to work.

It may be that you haven't selected BotF as the game you wish to launch. Under the change button, the last drop-down choice, make sure it is Birth of the Federation and not <None>.

Can you steal them using intel? Risky having that as your only option, but if it works, it keeps the option open.

It's funny how quiet the board gets when a tournament starts up. Everyone's playing instead of talking about playing.

I don't understand how a shield generator prevents your TT's from following orders? (....) If a Shield Generator can prevent TT's from attacking a system when they're given orders to, then it's news to me. Yes it can. I can't give you exact predictions, but you need a specific firepower depending o...

I'm right about something. Damn, I guess there really is a first time for everything!

as Romulans, when you attack a system to capture it, if you are only using scouts as cover for the TT's, the TT's will remain in orbit and NOT attack the system, even though you have ordered them to. You will lose your scouts to the orbitals, but you will not get an 'Invasion Repelled' message and ...

Hrm... I missed that inclusion when I put my post in this thread. Also the reference to 3 players in a game. Since there were so few posts in this forum, I didn't consider that I'd 'ressurrected' a thread that had bad info in it. I only thought that most players would see the thread title and read i...

I thought I'd dust this off with some new tips for our current tournament. :) First, for the guys new to MP out there: Do not get discouraged! I remember the first time I played MP how quickly I got disabused of the notion of empire building... ;) The tips below are specific to T5 small Multi-player...

I can confirm the issue with the space in the installationpath as Flocke reports in his big post above. When installed to c:\program files\botf\ I couldn't connect to any games at all on WZ. Now that I've re-installed to c:\botf\ it works perfectly.

Also, here's a specific situation that sucked. This story includes the issue and the solution. Problem: Playing as Romulans, when you attack a system to capture it, if you are only using scouts as cover for the TT's, the TT's will remain in orbit and NOT attack the system, even though you have order...

Hrm, after a few MP combats last night that didn't go as expected, I have concluded that Klingon ships are a pain in the ass to fight. Their defenses are insane, making it very very hard to hit them. It could just be that your attack of choice was weak against the B'Rel's maneuver of choice and you ...

Running Server 2008 64-bit and tbh was very surprised to get BotF running at all. After installing jokers 1.0.2 patch and the Hades 2.2 patch, its running very well with 2 problems. It randomly crashes with multiple combats in one turn. It crashes nearly 90% of the time if encountering a Klingon Sc...

Hehe, no worries mate, you've been plenty smart on the forum. I'm simply fixated on the mod (see sig), so I understand its systems pretty well.

Not really. He fixed things in BoP by making all versions of a ship cost the same to remove the build->upgrade->sell-for-tons-more-cash-than- you-spent 'feature'. Then he upped the cash produced by population and trades, and lowered industry output and the overall cost of ships to bring cash and ind...
