this looks amazing, and yes i rememer BotF. I just pulled it out of mothballs the other day and started playing again. Got a friend back on it to. had several hours of extreamly fun (though rather slow at times) multi player old school style. brought back many a memory :CONGRAT:
haha i understand... but on a sunday?? oh well
i dont think it did post your message again...?
well... i was supposed to kick the great emperors butt in a game this afternoon. but hes not showing up. Does any one want to play? i see both spartan and thrawn are online... anyone? I just want to play.
yeah, the planet you start on is not classified as a "home planet" so its not your capital and its not develpoed. First thing, make it your capital. then slowly do the upgrades as you can. If you do the capital planet upgrade you should start getting 2.7 per turn (if i recall right) instead of the -2 or -3 that you were getting previously. idk if its a bug, but it does make for an interesting challenge if you feel like playing a game where the begining is not a gimme...
wow... what happend to the days of a unified Beta testers Clan... that was the whole idea of the Pink Space Ponies. It was an inside joke that only betas would get. now its turned into a joke that is only breeding hatred... a very sad state of afairs indeed. So maybe, in retrospect, we should have chosen an name less evil but also less... well, laughable. Just a some cud to chew on ;-)
thanks, now i understand. however in game this is very confusing and could probably use some clarification. its a nifty feature that i think alot of people are probably missing.
I dont know if this has been covered already. i honestly didnt search the forums. Its just an FYI. But several times now the computer has selected a cobalt light frig to be the leader of a fleet when a perfectly capable capital ship is sitting right next to it. The manual says that what ever ship is sub selected will be the lead ship. What does that mean? no mater how i tryed i couldnt figure out how to make my Kol be the leader. It doesnt always do t
PS-Piss lives on! Long live the Pink Space Ponies!
ok so i had an idea while looking at the maps of the fed space shown earlyer. Plus i was watching the DS9 eppisode Prophet Motive... why not make the ferengi a minor race that was not quite so minor. Unplayable, but able to creat orbital structures and able to trade! you could form a trade aliance with them, or simply invade thier space. However you probably wouldnt want to invade because all their allies wouldnt be too happy. acording to the mape theres like, idk, 3 or 4 systems that they
I think the starbase combos are a great idea. With a full on star base having both a Military & Civ lab included, but taking up soo much space that you cant really build anything else ;-)
I dont know if this is possible, but i think it would make sense to be able to colonize the planet right off the bat. It should have a mostly breathable atmosphere. Water vapor isnt exactly toxic ;-) plus 80% if our O2 comes from plankton and other ocean organisms... Anyway, it would be really cool if the pop limit was REALLY low and all the tactical slots were not available till you do some research at like lvl 4 civ, or somthing. I dont know how hard it is to mod a tech to unlock orbital s
NICE!!! i look forward to playing with this mod, good work!
dang, cause it REALLY needs to fly like a fighter. Thats the way it moves. It is not the kind of ship that can fire in any direction. It only has one phasor bank (to my recollection), but those freaking powerful pulse phasors that can only fire forward. No offense annatar, but i do really hope that your wrong. :-( sadness... Edit: actually it has two phasor banks and 4 pulse phasor cannons
I REALLLY like the idea of leveling up all ships. In my oppinion it should be this way IN game! but since its not id love to see it here. ALSO ive been going back and brushing up on my DS9 episodes, and i totally take back my thought that the Defiant should be a "Heavy Frigate." after seeing the first episode with the Defiant in it, where they go into the Delta-Quadrant and after already taking damage blow a dominion ship to bits in one volly... yeah thats one badass little ships.

oh and more fleet management options. Id like to be able to designate some real substructure to my fleets rather then needing to creat several fleets and then put them all under one Ctrl group.

Pirate Economy Created! At least a flegdling version of it. I know you guys have said its on the drawing boards. The pirates are rather stupid and predictable. I love the concept but it needs to be fleshed out.
... yeah, so? every one knows the Akira has a crap ton of torpedo tubes. its designed to spray the crap out of a target. That doesn’t speak to its hull integrity or shear size? the reason i say it should be a cruiser is precisely because of the tech tree. It should need to be researched plus its just not the same weight class as the other caps. its got lotsa torpedoes, but only 6 phasor arrays. Compared to the 14 on a dominion wars Galaxy Class or 16 on a Sovereign Class. Even an Old Sc
Ok, i worked on a wish list of my own for the fed fleet, but i lost it last night. very upsetting, however it seems that isnt really wanted right now anyway. So ill give you the major tweeks i had. The Defiant, IMO, should be a "Heavy Frigate." have it replace the flag frig spot, since that wont exist anymore. The Defiant is just too small to be considered a cruiser, yes it could kick many a cruisers butt, with its weaponary. However, it simply does not have the hull strength (or s
this would be an interesting initial option
I actually like the idea of locking this. Though maybe with some way that one can still post, but the thread gets coppyed to a new sub-folder or somthing.
I love how Stardock and Ironclad listen to us and want feed back. And i love posts like the "What do you want to see in 1.03?" Shows they are listening. However i would love to actually discuse the ideas listed. It its not the place to discuss them in that one thread. But we have no were designated for that. I think we should have a forum specifically devoted to Ideas. There really isnt any were currently that randome ideas for bettering the game really fits well in. Either i porpose we
yeah but its good for them ;-) makes for a better game... not that its not a-freeking-mazing already!
So ive noticed that if you give the retreat order (or just tell your fleet leave) but the enimy (vasari) disables the engins on one of your cap ships (TEC) then the retreat order is canceled. I lost 3 cap ships last night and eventually lost the game because of it. Finally by the time it was too late i figured out why my cap ships were ignorning my continual attemts to get them to retreat. As soon as the engin disable effect wears off they find the best target and start shooting, even if they
