I liked BOTF too. I never really understood every bodys gripes. It seems to me that nowadays, when 1 person starts whining about a game, it's automatically true and it spreads like a virus. A lot of people seem to find it a sport to bash programmers. True, a lot of games are released prematurely. I remember Daggerfall. Bugged like hell ( it was actually 1 big bug with some game in there ) but i liked it and i played it.

I loved Birth Of The Federation and still play it to this day. Hard core Trekers from the old Civ forum formed several pro=BOTF forums and spread the word about how great the game would be. I bought it and enjoyed right off the shelf. It did have some problems with memorie leaks and crashed often in multiplayer at MS game zone.

I remember reading at the BOTF forum when the developers told the fans to "F-OFF" and from that point on no new patches were released and Microprose moved on. I think Hasbro bought them and offically they do not recognize BOTF any more. Also Activition bought out all of the rights to make Star Trek games and that combined with other factors killed any chance for a BOTF II.

I loved BOTF, and even though all of the pro-BOTF forums like TOP, TGN, FSN, and others bashed the hell out of the game at first, most came around, too late to make a differance, and began supporting the game and the mod community. Which I might add did a great job making a few great mods.

Yes, I have to agree, MOO3 seems to really have focused a lot of attention into MP and that is a welcome change. I think that might have been the over all idea of the developers. They focused all of the game toward MP and less toward SP and that is why SP seems so under developed and poorly implemented.

I bought the game and really bashed it hard, but now, given time to play it, I have relized that it is an interesting game, no where near as good as SEIV or GalCiv though. The area that MOO3 shines in is its MP.[/QB]

Try MOO3 v1.2---the challenge is to win on "easy"! In my opinion MOO3 shines also as SP, much more to offer then MOO2 & now more challenging. The changes to the AI & Screens are wonderful.

MOO3 is not a great game, and will never be a great game. It will at best be an average game. MOO and MOO2 were great games. MOO3 is a shameful successor to the MOO series.

Can't believe the designers of MOO3 released this garbage. Space Empires rules. Even BOTF was better.

It seems to me that you & Fyron need at least 2 things, a life & a clue. You maybe able to convince yourselves of what you say, but certainly not the ones who disagree with you. So why not get over it?

eddie: same applies to you..and arguing that way with Fyron is pointless. He's entire too patient, you'll just go around and around for 30 pages, getting into increasingly obscure and off-topic references.

how do you get around the expense of subways?
