Birth of the Federation

strange, I would have expected this problem on Vista, seeing as Vista is the only windows system that doesn't really run with DOS in the back. I thought they changed that with Windows 7 to make it compatable completely with XP.

just be careful when doing it though, I found that some ships that I imported worked fantastically, although a few (like one of the Constitution Refit models) would let me see it in battle, but when i clicked start fight as in start the current battle move it would stop saying Trek.exe has stopped w...

On either stbof.res or the .exe file there is the option to change the probability of finding each type of planet. If you change the values about to say make Terran planets more likely than volcanic then you will find terran systems more. As long as the overall probability number is 1 it doesnt matt...

Sounds like the Breen have had a lot of fun lol. I don't think I'd complain if they were one of my member systems, at least I'd have ONE system guaranteed in dire cases.

Yeah I get the tutorial documents and the saved files when I install the game.

I believe there are on one of the ship packs you can download. I usually download all of the ship packs and then fish though each one finding what i want. I'm sure I saw some borg vessels in one of them, but I don't know which.

Hmm interesting. Now all I have to do is reinstall my BOTF and then try and remove textures to lower pallet count and get to work.

Maybe it will work for me this time, otherwise I will have to find some Armada II mods instead and put BOTF on the backburner until I get a laptop or new PC.

Yeah i'll have to do that. The thing is though i kept a copy of botf and that wouldnt run either. it is really confusing, i didnt know if it is because i have Vista but it works all of the time, until this rubbish comes out of the blue. I would love for you to have to send ships back to the home sys...

Right my game usually runs fine, has the Jokers patch on it and Ultimate Editor is used to change ships to how i want. It all seems to run properly, then I go onto UE just to jiggle a few ship stats and suddenly it wont save saying Nul Exception. this has happened like 4 times and each time i have t...

Sounds like a good idea. Would be good also if they found a piece of software to allow XP games and older to run PROPERLY on Vista. PC games that run on XP and older are intended to work find on 7, but they made Vista stupidly differently, meaning that some games just get messed up and start being t...

It certainly does what it needs to, and without the need for human interaction to cock it up

Yeah i modded mine myself, but just simple ship editing in UE, I enjoy my game a lot more now

oh, welcome to the forum

The idea of it was to rekindle childhoods. Remember how you felt the first time you watched star trek, how awesome it all was? now theres a chance to turn the chavvy git-bag kids of today into old fashion trekkies, by giving them the chance to feel what we did upon watching it. Yeah sure for us olde...

Yeah I found Vista to be crap with gaming too, but I downloaded the Joker's patch and now it runs fine, plus it lets me use Ultimate editor on it now. When i upgrade pc's I'm so getting one with Windows 7 or Xp again, cos 7 follows the basic coding of XP unlike Vista

Most games out today and in the past were originally designed for their systems, however as windows upgraded, the codes that games read seem to have remained more or less the same, hence why almost all old games will run on new systems. this includes all new Windows operating systems (including 7). ...

It was good that he was appreciated. I mean he actually deserved being knighted, unlike most people who get it. Now he can stand by Ian Mckellen as experienced acting-overlords
