I just installed the 1.7.0 Version, and I;ve notcied that there are some maps with it. Perhaps they've always been there. What are these maps? Can they be used to create a "realistic" game with player placement similar to that of the series? If so, what order do I need to add the empires in, do any not go in, etc...?

thanks! The mod is simply amazing...

Alarik,
Depends on what you are looking for. UserX's original Star Trek Map is a great, well balanced map for the AI and the a for a possible PBW game. I played a few games on it and it provided a great deal of accuracy in a proportioned context. Lots of fun.

The Trek Major Systems Map come in two flavors, one for balance with PBW and AI which is Trek Major Systems Map A. The second, Trek Major System B is the same with different sized starting planets for the major races. This was intended to give some of the races (AI) advantages.

The primary focus on the Trek Major Systems Maps can be found, as Blackrose (thanks)pointed out earlier in the Mod Info Folder. I won't give all the details here other than that with the Trek Major System Maps you will continue to be rewarded with something new to explore even in late games. Keep exploring. Lots of hidden stuff, and a hefty dose of canon Trek uniqeness portrayed through planets, nebulas, black holes, and other features.

I have a couple of games going with the Trek Major Systems B Different size home worlds and am struggeling against the AI in a few of them. In ohter words, by turn 100 I am no where near being in first place against the AI.
