Birth of the Federation

I had committed some time to the girlfriend this weekend (both days, yes) but if I am available I will login! I should be able to buy some time if I can convince her to start a new Civ game. We shoulda done this last weekend when I was sitting in WZ lobby all Saturday afternoon

Hey all,

I've just settled into a new apartment and the first thing I did was setup a static ip and get all that port forwarding maddness done! If anyone wants to play a bit of botf this day, I'll be waiting in the WZ Other Games lobby. I'm up for any mod, any stats, I just wanna play!

Use your big boy words, everyone.

I think the fact both use human characters is not really something you can say is too much of a coincidence. You write about what you know, and I think most humans will write about a human main character even if it's a sci-fi story.

How goes the other semi-final match between RF and praetorian?

It was a fun game though, I'm just sad to make (yet another) early departure from a tournament. Good luck gentle and a...

Can we change gal size to large for all?

Yes I'm definitely good with that! It'll be nice to get some old school botf going on!

just got ports all set up at the new place!! Count me in!! ps. sorry for the late response!


[EDIT] Upon inspection, if OP decides to return again, we'll have 6 peeps, which would work for a quick tourny. It's no 8 people, but better than nothing!!

As the subject suggests, I'd like to compile a list of players willing to have a tournament in the coming weeks. I've got from the evening of March 9th to the evening of March 18th off from work ( a government vacation for teachers ) and I'd like to suggest we plan a tournament starting asap and end...

I miss this game!!!

Agreed, Krazee. The most 'exploration' you do is in patrol missions or science missions you can pick up, but half of the time they're not complete. I went to a planet that had AWESOME landscapes, but the minimap was just this off-brown square. It had NO definition at all so I had to search this huge...

After playing this game through the week, I've got a bit more feedback... The interface and commands are clumsy as hell with a keyboard and mouse. The mini-maps often suck. The only defining features on them are often red dots for enemies. One of the most frustrating aspects to missions so far are t...

I really shouldn't have been surprised. Just enough to allow to you explore and customize your ship a bit, rise in rank, etc. But not enough to actually compete without spending some money. Fun for shits and giggles atm anyhow...

I think at higher starts and with more deuterium structures built and colonies the graph would look more natural. Nope. I have played about 20 turns T5 in sp and retire graph is looking to shape up the same way... I don't have a screen yet but I'll do one maybe tomorrow once I have time to mess aro...
