Hey everyone, I have just gotten back into playing BOTF after a 4 year hiatus... needless to say alot has changed since I have been away.

I went thru some posts on the sister site and noticed people talking about 200 ship task forces... thats amazing, since I was only about to field about 50 to 75 starships total.

Then I saw this site and seen BOTF 2, it sounds amazing and I cannot wait until its release... but I have a simple question.

Will you need the original BOTF to play it or will it have a CD-crack like Pacific General?

I also hope that the AI on BOTF 2 is better than BOTF, the original has some terrible AI problems. It reminds me of PacGen alot... I used to design new campaigns and scenarios and equipment files for PacGen, so I know something about terrible AI's.

Hopefully I'll get to see this new BOTF by X-mas.

The game is fan-based and there are "THREE" differant versions being made at the same time none of which will be finished before Xmas i'am afraid.

Because it's fan-based it's free and you won't need to use the old CD, my guess is you'll just have to download the game when it's complete.

Where's Mattress when you need him he's so much more informed then I.....

Hey there John, welcome to the site!

The Alpha version of Allegiance wasn't really a game as such - it was more of a test of whether the Federation could beat us poor Romulans into a pulp via cheating and a lack of communication.

The game requires you are connected to the Hamachi network before you can even acces the site - so you will need permission and the access information from Nemitor.

Anyways, there isn't any point in all that because nemitor's server is offline - theres no game without a server.

I'm sure that once the beta is released, you'll be able to test it though.

If you want to try a demo though, there's an old demo of the UI of Jigalypuff's New Beginnings game in the section of the site and there is a demo of MStrobel's Supremacy in the as well.

...Or if you're thirsting for information, check out and the

Have fun.

Not sure moe but he might be after the source code for the alpha version which will be available soon as nem said.

Source code is for programing not to play tho.

yeah, and I doubt anyone could figure out how to get it to work.

Thats the major reason why I havnt released it yet - its hard as hell to get working.
