Birth of the Federation II

Posted by ShamelessMcBundy:
OK, i am really excited about this game! I know that it will be out in September, but any info. on the date?

Your best bet would be to go to their forums and just stay informed. As for an exact date, I have no idea.

BUT I CANNOT WAIT!!
 
6 to 8 weeks till completion, only the feds will be playable til other modules complete as in graphic interface pics and the likes, their ships will be done of course lol.
the other majors will be finished up as quickly as i can do the interface grapics, these will be needed for multigames as we will need an offical version for this aspect of the game. of course people playing the same mod will have no probs, but some like to stick to virgin games.

I can't wait either!
 
Hmmm...the site appears to be down. Nonetheless, I'm still looking very much forward to this game.

I cannot wait to play a canon map....
 
Such as they are. I mean, not to rain on anyone's parade, but has there ever been a canon map that has met with the satisfaction of a large portion of fans?
 
I think the closest was Mendel's Star Charts, and that had a fair amount of criticism. There was a lot of reasonable speculation in there too though.

True, but I liked the idea that I read on one of their forum threads about placing a key ally (Vulcan near Earth, Vorta near the Dominion) near one of the playable races.

OK, that sounds interesting, but let's see how the map looks like when it's finished.

Very true. I just want to see more screenshots period. I hope we'll see more as the date of the game being playable becomes closer.

I really like the idea of having to recruit officers, as well as people to maintain internal morale and conduct negotiations with other powers.

This game looks really complex. I hope it won't be super hard and confusing to play ...

I don't think they're making it too hard. It seems like they're going for realism, but not anything too complex.
 
I don't like the idea that the Klingons have the most powerul ship. Well, it says best cruiser. I don't know if that would classify as dreadnoughts or not. Considering the Klingons most powerful ship is a Neg Var (I think) and the Feds have the Sovereign, which I think can liquify pretty much any ship one on one including the Neg Var.

Oh, wait, I just read that the dominion has the most powerful uberships. Still, the Sovereign puts the uber in uberships.

But whatever, I am looking forward to this one. It sounds super awesome. Real thought has gone into it. I love what I see.

Well i hope it won't be confusing. Now don't get me wrong, i like what i see.
 
Overcomplexity is my biggest worry with this mod too, though I like what I've seen so far. Fingers crossed it will escape that trap! It would be very disappointing if this ended up like MOO3, a game that I found indecipherable compared to its predecessor.
