Birth of the Federation 2.0

[an0nemus2k]

One of my favorite, but flawed Star Trek games is the Birth of the Federation. I really hope this can scratch that itch...

Nothing like losing a fleet of ships in your own Wolf 359

BOTF on the gaming zone was fun times.

I remember I downloaded it from here and it was great playing it again but it crashed a good bit, I had to remember to save it every turn just in case..

ALso if i remember right, that DL might have had a ton of BotF mods in the download that you could install or not install.. damn its been ages, hard to remember lol

Oh yeah. One of the very games i played MP.

I played BOTF for hours and hours, until it slowed down my computer to the point I couldn't play anymore. it was GREAT.

So yes, I shamelessly pre-ordered this game hoping to recapture the feeling.

BOTF 2, this is not.

It will scratch your Stellaris itch though, if you had one.

Birth of the Federation was loads of fun. It will be interesting to see what this new game is like.

[skeetz]

u can play the fan made botf 2 called st supremacy, its pretty good just lacks 3d battles right now but still active development.

Theres actually 2 botf 2 projects as there was a branch split due to some creative differences.

BOTF was fun.. Defiant spam

I absolutely loved playing Birth Of The Federation back then. It was so fun.

The ferengi destroyers on evade were popular. Along with any cloaked fleet. Klingons became champs when they started building cloaked Kvort cruisers. Romulans were dangerous from the get go. 9 Romulan cloaked scouts could do a lot of damage. With my Cardassians I just rammed everything. :P

[ListigerLurch]

that would be fine

Didn't really get into birth of the federation tbh.
Got tired of the borg always showing up within the first few turns and just flat out non-stop spamming borg cubes at me.

Dominion wars was legit, but can't get it to run on a win 7 or higher machine sadly.
It just won't even load.

Gotta give it to star trek armada 1 and 2 though, i still play 2 almost to this day.
It's fun adding ships to it from mod sites and changing stats around.
If you dug deep enough to how the game was set up you could even swap weapons around.

So i am hopeing it's more of armada than botf, or perhaps more closer to sins of a solar empire.
Borg up in your business from the start of the game spamming cubes is no bueno.

aah yes, I remember those days, I would always pump out as many Romulan scouts as I could afford and when i was playing as being hostile to all other main factions but not the minor races I would start harrasing the feds or cardies right from the get go, I would push towards them ASAP colonizing planets, building space stations and i would camp out as close tho them as i could and attack anything that moved with my cloaked scouts haha

Afaik, this was patched back then. The Borg show up much later.

You should try Star Trek Supremacy is you want a remake of BOTF - https://bitbucket.org/DiogoGomes/supremacy/src/master/

Its a community developed project that remakes the game.
