Gaah, not another enticing PBW game! I'm already involved in too many, just wait until I start WORK this summer!

[Gandalph]

Wow, with all the discussion I have seen about this great Mod, I expected a better turn out. All you AST players, are you solo only? Get to know PBW with this game, it's a gas!!!

[Unknown_Enemy]

should players have to respect star trek's story or are we free to innovate ?

I mean : could the borg ally with the federation ?

[Gandalph]

I am not going to strictly enforce role play. I only ask that you somewhat play as your race would. To deny the borg allies is to cripple their ability as compared to the other races.

Edit - The game will start when we get 10 players.

Count me in, but has CNC equalized the Borg Mount and uploaded it to PBW?

The Mod was designed first as a single player mod. That means that the Borg have a slight weapons advantage over the other players. To equalize this, one would have to reduce or eliminate the BORG mount from the CompEnhancement.txt file in the data folder. If not, you will have to leave the Borg our of this game.

And please, count me in this game as well.

im very interested... ill take 8472...

Count me in as well. I will take the Borg.

I have uploaded a playable Version to the download section under mods, but it does not cotnain any race bmps.

If you want I can make the alterations to the Borg file and then submit it to PBW for use. I will also post a PBW Version "patch" to the ast mod site and send a copy to all how join the game. The patch will effectively correct the Borg advantage by making it compareable to the other races ship mount advantages.

Additionally, the AST mod comes with all the races installed. So if you have the complete Version, http://astmod.com v1.8 then you will not need to download additional races images. BUT IF YOU CHOOSE TO, just use the BMP files, and not the AI files.

Gandalph please email me. cncraymond@astmod.com
