=ground set=the major race descriptions

In other words the basic relationships between each of the majors... Gotcha.

Edit: Hello,

On March 24, 2008, i.e. yesterday, we have released our new Alpha4 Refit version of BotE. There ain't any Star Trek content in this release. We made our own content. (And I have to say, it plays great)

I implemented a lot of improvements into the Alpha4 Refit too. For example resource routes and system blockades. There are many new building, race and ship pictures, new voices and new racestyles. The game feeling would be the same, but you can discover a lot of new and amazing things. I hope (and I think) you will enjoy the Alpha4 Refit.

The file is now available at http://www.star-trek-games.com so head over and register .

cheers,
Sir Pustekuchen

do you want this hosted on the new site? i have had several requests for it also, how is "the trek mod" coming along?

The more hosts the better I think . But it's sir p.'s decision.

Thanks for your offer

First I want to upload it to sharepoint, where you can download it. The link is posted on our german forum. Only forum members get access to this link. But after one week or so, we can provide the download from your site. Of course since it's your site, you can choose to offer any kind of mod at your site but keep in mind it's a copyright violation to do so with IP-protected mod material when you don't have asked for and reached an agreement with the IP holders first.

URL doesn't work.

Hello.

hey there. well, it works, usually, not right now I must admit, but the other times sometimes very slowly (some kind of joomla legacy mode still running as I heard). If someone got some insights on how to make joomla member registration work for both download sections and forums at a given site like this, then please go ahead and help nemitor and jig .

alternatively, IB, you could go over to our german site (), register and go to the download forum thread where all our mirrors (there are 3 of them already) are listed.

Edit: Works again!

Which font file is it I have to delete so the fleet symbols show up on the map?

trekbats.ttf . I just hinted at sir p. that he renames all bote font files so that they don't interfere anymore with other fonts on everyone's system. He'll do that for the next version.

also we encountered a new bug that appears in very few games so far but leads to the turn end button not getting "unlocked" again after pressing it. If you encounter it, just upload the savegame here, we need every save we can get to be able to "triangulate" it .

untill these forums have been moved it`ll have to be seperate registrations sorry. the site is running slowly as the host is having server troubles. they say it`ll be fixed within twenty minutes it`s been a few days now but they appear to be a good hosting plan, i`m sure it`ll be running ok soon

I'm probably not going to be playing seriously until the English version is out. My German is nicht so gut.

alrighty. some 45 more races to translate and I'm finished with that too .

okay, I'm finished with my translations (maybe dafedz is able to improve some of my wording in some parts ). But here it is: playable with the version from http://www.star-trek-games.com . Just patch it over!

@jig: We'll make an english installer shortly but if you want you can upload this zip as patch zip in the meantime.

Edit: New set of files, minor errors reported.

I'm a little bit confused. Is this a star trek game or will there be a trek mod that we have to install?

The later is true for BOTE. Supremacy and the others are ST from the ground up.

Ok one more question. After I add DataEng to the bote folder do I remove the existing data folder?

Edit: Nevermind I figured it out

hi all,

Been reading up on what been happing this year, and it good to know that BOTE IS BACK ON TRACK
IF ANY ONE HAS THE TIME CAN THEY WRITE UP A SHORT REPAY, WITH THE MAIN POINTS THAT HAVE BEEN CHANGED
AND IF OR WHEN THERE IS APHLA 5 OUT THANKS, ILL KEAP READING, HOPE TO HEAR FROM ALL YOU HARD WORKERS,

LATERS

BIG FAN OF WHAT EVERY ONE IS DOING, THIS IS HOW MICROPROSE SHOLD OF DONE IT

thanks! Good to know you're still followin .

New implemented things to BotE can be looked up in our changelog thread: http://www.star-trek-games.com/forum/in ... =viewtopic while the next alpha will probably be out in octrober this year (we try to stick to half-year constant releases). But there might be an Alpha 4 Refit+ version with new buildings and essentially all copyright-free artwork in it earlier next month which then can be posted around the net without any fear of the game being shut down due to copyright/legal issues anymore.

I hope that answers all your questions .

Jig's been super-hyper-mega-busy with his business lately, often not finishing until 1am.

I'll copy your post into a news item for you Mal.

*Edit - News item posted. Do you have a banner that I could include in the news post, Mal? Like the one we use for Supremacy? It's the image in my signature. Images help to attract people and make news items stand out more.

If you do have one, you might want to add it to your own signature as well. You can also make it a clickable link so it takes people direct to this thread or anywhere else you want. I've done the same to my signature.

The image needs to be the same dimensions as the one in my banner though, or at least needs to be to the same aspect ratio. I can shrink it down myself if needs be.

Replacement news item posted. I made some minor changes to make it more News-itemy though, and I also edited your post above and included the change log. Hope you don't mind.

0.71'd and typo fixed. Let me know if you want any other changes.

Excellent! I'm glad to see it released, I'll have to get working on the English translations again though, as I've not done much with it in the last two weeks!

take your time

I ship the ship stats could be looked at again. The Raths ships are no match for the cartare ships. I think the cartare are why over powered. They all made balanced i think. Im playing with the power level now.

Paddy

The strongest ships in-game are those of the Khaorons. Rotharians are actually pretty weak but not as weak as the Heyoun (plastic ) ships. But they got the advantage of being able to cloak.

Our combat simulator hasn't been updated yet to the new shiplist.data so there is no hard-fact reference for testing the power of different ships against each other. Once the combat simulator is updated, everyone can set up their own fleet battles and see statistical outcomes of these battles which then clearly shows which ships are over-powered or under-powered with clear figures.

Update: Combat simulator has been updated:
