View Full Version : New PBW Game: Star Trek Final Frontier III

January 8th, 2005, 01:25 AM

I have started another Star Trek Final Frontier game on PBW. For those of you who remember the first two games, you will want to join up as soon as possible. The game is first come first serve.

Please join only if you are willing to play through to the end. I sware to God, if you join then drop out after a few turns I will never let you join another one of my games. I have to be blunt up front in order to avoid join/drop outs.

The game will use a random map and be filled out by neutral races under AI control.

There are seven open slots with two already having been reserved. The borg for Intimidator, and the Klingons for me. That leaves the Cardassian, Dominion, Federation, Ferengi, and Romulan races.

The game will start on the 14th and have 48 hour turns.

For complete rules read the game info.

I believe I shall be the Dominion. Then I shall slowly be everyone else, until the galaxy knows not whom to trust. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif.

That said, shall I download the full mod then the 1.9.0.9 patch, or mod then 1.9.0.1 then 1.9.0.9

You just need to download the full Version 1.9.0.0 and then update with the 1.9.0.9 patch.

And welcome aboard

I have several beta's over eachother standing ... would I be okay just to install 1.9.0.9 or would it be best to uninstall and reinstall ?

Atrocities

Do a fresh install of 1.9.0.0 then update with 1.9.0.9.

The reason for this was because the component/faciltiy/combat/planets/and events folders were removed from the mod so that the Image Mod files would work.

OK, I'll bite... in QConflict I wanted to be the Romulans but they were taken... dammit, I swore off PBW games until SE5 was on PBW and look what I got myself into http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/tongue.gif

edit: oh, never mind, I see I was too slow - the Romulans are taken again, and I'm already the Ferengi in QConflict and I don't really want to be the Cardassians... http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

The Dominion thanks the Borg for their support. The Borg shall be the Last race to be infiltrated. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Dominion + borg = doom...
The united federation of planets gets ready to perform the white-flag manouvre.

You can always start your own game. http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif For some reason Trek games seem to be very popular.

I also want to limit the games I'm in, I'm thinking of surrendering in my current game (stock SE4) since I have like 4 spaceyard ships left.

Randallw

To what degree may I modify the atributes of my empire?. There are a few aspects of the stock Dominion empire setup that I wish to change or think should be different.

See the description on the PBW site, but try to stay close to what the dominion would like (but that's my personal preference)

You may alter your Charateristics in any way you see fit.

You may take both of the unlucky traits so that you can maximise your points.

You may take any culuture you wish but MUST take your own race's, and only your own race's, advanced Racial trait.

YOU MUST TAKE the PBW Advanced Research Trait.

NO WARRIOR TRAIT.
You must take only Your own colony type, and no others. (DOUBLE CHECK THIS)

The rest is up to you.

Taking my empire trough a quick game atm, to see if I can find any obveous flaws.

I savour the oppurtunity to elaborate on events through a narrative. Initially however I wish to ascertain that indeed the universe is 2400 years after the established series, rather than a continuation of the DS9 period.

The game is under way. Lets have some fun and RPG it if we can.

I got the story going here. Tell me if I should post it at SE.

Do to some EMP problems experienced by a couple of players we must have a restart. This will be the ONLY restart for this game. What ever happens we must live with it. I am deeply sorry about this guys, but it is the right thing to do for these players. I know its a pain in the ***, but know that I would do this for any one of you withing the first two turns. We knew it was likely going to happend, and it has.

I recommend that you play the turn so that you can re-save your EMP files with your DESIGNS. Then send me your revised EMP file. I will manually place it in the restart with the hopes that you will not have to redesign everything. If you need or want to make changes to tweak your EMP, now is the time to do it.

Also I need you to list your race's planet and atmosphere types in the game forum or here. Thanks.
