Birth of the Federation

I saw it in the local EB store back in 1999, but didn't pick it up right away -- while it looked promising, I was still somewhat skeptical. Fortunately, my friends got together and bought it for me for my birthday (Dec. 1) later that year. What was amusing was that one those friends was my roommate ...

Hey, go easy on the guy. While I agree that Pigman is probably right about Wesley being the most annoying Trek character, Wheaton himself seems like a decent chap. Have you ever listened to his keynote speech at the Penny Arcade Expo last year? It was both interesting and hilarious.

Yeah, battles involving the Edo Guardian tend to be rather wonky. I remember one of my very first games: The Edo were members (I was playing as Feds), and I had constructed a starbase in their system. I was at war with the Romulans, who attacked the Edo system with around a dozen warships. The Guard...

Well yeah, I know that Gowron changed the Borg's ship stats (I remember that he reduced their beam weapon output but increased their torpedo power). That's not what I'm asking, though. What I'm curious about is how the changes have actually translated to the game. Can combat with the Borg actually l...

I agree the trailer doesn't exactly rivet you to the edge of your seat, but I'm not worried as of yet. BSG is easily one of the best TV shows I've ever had the privilege of watching, and I'm optimistic that Ron Moore & Co. can work their magic again. :) I read there was some speculation that the...

So if I disable random events in the main menu but enable them in the game configuration screen, that will then turn random events on, correct?

Quick stupid question (because I can never remember): Does enabling Random Events in one area but not the other affect what kind of random events take place? In other words, if I were to enable random events in the main menu but *disable* them in the Game Configuration screen (or vice-versa), what d...

Random question: How are the Borg in Balance of Power? I have to confess that I myself have no idea, despite having been playing this mod for months now. I nearly always play with Random Events turned off, and I'm reluctant to turn them back on for fear of the Collective ruining my games (as they di...

Ooh, pretty!

What class is that, though? It doesn't look like the Negh'var (although the command section looks somewhat similar).

For anyone interested, the trailer for Caprica (the prequel to BSG) is now available for viewing.

Just to poke my nose in for a second: I still get crashes, but of a different type and much less frequent. These crashes are random and I believe may be an existing Vanilla bug anyway The random crashes occur before battle commences as the ships are moving into position and are of the screen locks u...

That would be cool. I'd love to see bigger fleets, especially given how the orbital batteries have been beefed up in BOP.

RSE_Chris: Well I won't speak for anyone else, but I know that at least I would fit that theory pretty well. I was 10 when TNG premiered, and it remains my favorite Trek series to this day, with DS9 being a very close second. TOS is a somewhat distant third, Voyager an even more distant fourth, and...

As I've stated elsewhere, I wouldn't mind Borg invasions....*if* they only showed up one vessel at a time. It's when multiple cubes are running around that ruins the game for me.

I know Gowron is thinking about reducing some of the stats in his next update, but I can not wait to see what new changes he has made to trek.exe. I know he was talking about tweaking orbital batteries a bit so that they weren't quite so powerful. Don't remember what else he was looking at changing...
