Here is a picture of my current game early on...

And the way it looks now.....Cardassia is now a Romulan planet....while Ferenginar is a Klingon planet. However...I think the Federation has made the largest gains....in both planets, minor races and ships. At one point they had 21 starships orbiting one of my main systems....I could only muster 15 in that region.....would have been a bad fight for me. Luckly they kept their treaty....after I made a few consessions. One of which was war with the Ferengi, and that caused me to capture one of their planets....and about to take another. I also discovered that the Klingons had taken most of the northern Ferengi systems!!

So shortly it will be just Klingons, Romulans, Federation, and Cardassians. However with the Ferengi gone...my other mortal enemies the Cardassians will be next. Then the game will be interesting. Only three races left to control the galaxy. :D

The Ferengi Alliance has fallen.

And the Romulan Star Empire and the United Federation of Planets are in a feirce war. The RSE early victories have been offset by major losses while conquering Pakled. And 7 more ships were lost when the fleet was suprised (thus uncloaked) but a 20 ship Federation task force. I successfully destroyed 2-3 UFP targets...but ultimately the battle was lost.

The Klingon Empire is also activtally destroying the Cardassian Union....with a large 40 ship taskforce. It could easily overpower the RSE internal defence force of 11 warships.

Well...here is the newest galaxy map.

Looks dire my friend. Good luck. See why is it better to play a coop game with your friend? ;)
 
Well.....the Klingons were still hurting the Cardassians. The UFP and RSE decided that war right now....with the large Klingon attack force fly around wasn't a wise choice. Thus we have sign a non-agression pact. The Klingons demand that the RSE declare war on the Cardassians. Since they had 10+ ships orbiting Cardassia (Romulan Planet) I declared war. But in the same turn the Klingons made peace with the Cardassians!! So I go stuck in another war...and nothing gained. Then the Klingons broke their Affilation treaty they had with me!

And they attack Kitara. I had an outpost and 9 cloaked battle cruisers. They destroyed the outpost.....but I destroyed their 8 destroyers, 1 scout and 1 battle cruiser. Then they attacked an outpost I had deep in Federation territory. The cloaked battle cruiser drove it away.....but not before it destroyed the outpost. Then a Klingon Strike cruiser attacks ANOTHER outpost of mine....luckly I was able to drive him away BEFORE destroying the outpost. So....I'm taking all my ships and going to move in on the Klingon Empire!! See if I can't take their few Dilithum producing systems.....and cut them off at their source!!

Anyway...I have to go to school.....the newest galaxy map (Un-altered)

I like BOTF. I just rediscovered this game, started playing Romulans on a medium galaxy with all tech level set at 5. I love using that cloak to ambush.

Anyways, both the Klingons and the Cards declared war on me. I rushed some battle cruisers, and used the cloaks to decimate their small fleets. After a brief foray to conquer independent Angosia, I attempted to move to the Cardassian main planets. However, I still only had one dilithium source, and not enough power for the singularity. I was able to damage, but not take one of their planets (then their intelligence destroyed one of my battle cruisers, grrr)

Fortunately, I discovered the Klingons had the dilithium producing talarians as members. And only one orbital battery for defense. I conquered Talar, seized the dilithium, and started able to produce a proper fleet. Q'uonos and Alpha, two of their main planets, and one of their colonies have no fallen. Only one Klingon planet remains, and it too shall soon fall.

I had a stalemate on the card front for a while, scraping what battlecruisers I could to keep their fleets out of my space. But when i really started killing the Klingons, they made peace, and now even signed an affiliation treaty with me.

As for the Fed's, I have a friendship treaty with them. They signed an alliance with the Klingons when I was in mid-war with them, and moved their fleets to the border. Fortunately, I accepted twice accepted war pacts from them to attack the Ferengi (who were on the other side of the galaxy, I didn't have to worry about them). My relations our cordial with them, and the Klingons will soon be dead. I was hoping to get an alliance out of them though.

As for the Ferengi, they once declared war on me, but I twice declared war on them. After I declared war on them, both times they offered non-aggression treaties and over 7,000 credits if I signed them. Needless to say I accepted.

Things are going well, especially since I'm rusty at this game. What I need to do, and haven't really done, is start at earlier tech levels and on a bigger map. The earliest I've ever started at was at 3. I wonder what 2 or 1 are like.

Oh, and I like flying Federation ships, but I hate how morale is a problem. I can't conduct war without them trying to rebel. :(
 
In the MP game CornMaster and I have been playing, he is the RSE (Romulan Star Empire) and I am the UFP (United Federation of Plantets). I have not had too much problem with morale except for the systems I took over, which are both Klingon. In this game I got horrible luck for finding systems with Dilithium but I have the Trills as a member minor race and one of the ex-Klingon systems has it also. I have now caught back up with CornMaster in Science production (He has a race that gives him +100 and I have built a system wide +30% to science structure) and my empire is larger. He has cloacked ships though so I will stay his friend for a while. After I take the Klingons out (Corn is working on the Cardassians) the Ferengi are next. Is this game winable as Allies?
 
I Really Really love this game. But can I ask do any if you have any Mods installed. If you don't I recomend going to the coop site and getting the torpedo and phaser mod. they really enhance the graphics. the UFP get the cool orange beams they have in the program. Th Klingons get the green disrupter beams also and the torpedo graphics are enhanced. They are smaller and the Fed have the red ones not blue.
I also recomend downloading the building mod. It makes it the game better. adjusted ship stats ect.

The site is: http://members.aon.at/zelli/main.htm A lot of the Mods here requires the patch being applied
 
Thanks Wolfe! I had no idea this game was modded, althought I can believe it since Corn showed me where all the graphics were stored. We unizp then rezip the graphics files at a lesser compression to hopefully let the game run a little bit faster. The graphics file goes from 74Megs to 256Megs or so.
 
So what Mods have you installed?
 
I would have to say that you should get the torpedo and phaser Mod from the coop site (I have a link above.) None of the stats are altered but the battles look a lot better
 
The special baddies such as The Borg, The Crystaline entity et al are terribly easy to defeat with The Romulans. The cloak effectively allows you to make a pre-emptive strike, and with a decent amount of warships you should be easily able to destroy the opposition in the first turn.

For a real challenege, try taking on a Cube with one of the non-cloak races. :D


One of the major grievances I have is that the game is playble, but incredibly buggy. For instance, The UFP are just about as warlike as The Klingons when you play against them. Has anyone else noticed this?

Wish there was a mod for intrepid class ships, a la Voyager. :D
 
I'll download the torp. and Phaser MOD, but I'm really against changing the stats and such.....but that's just my personal preference. I guess it's common knowledge that a MODed and non MODed can't play together. (Except just the enhanced weapons MOD)

Edit: LOL....all three links where broken....for both mods...
 
If you want I'll post them here but before I do I would like to get a clarification on if I'm allowed. I did not create these files and I am unsure whether it would break any rules. CornMaster (or any other Mod for that matter) please respond and I'll will attach both files OK
 
attaching the Mods should not be a problem, legally.
 
It doesn't seem to be letting me upload any more I'll try again tommorrow
