It stands for "Birth Of The Federation". a 4X game by Microprose put out about 5 years ago. Think "MOOII" set in the Star Trek universe. Reviews of the game were generally lukewarm.

The reviews may have been lukewarm but compared
to Space Empires Gold it was very poor.

I had high hopes for BOTF and saw many early
screenshots and previews but a lot of that didn't
make it into the final game.

No Good JOB. I am happy people are keeping this going.

BOTF = Birth Of The Federation. The game cost more now than it did when it was released in 98. It was a good game but filled with bugs and other issues. IT had real time 3d combat, an inovative if overly annoying micro-managment system, and was the brain child of the guys who made Moo and Moo2.

Star Trek fans have always killed game developers of Star Trek games. They are unpleaseable and that is why my in box has about 200 blocks now. I wonder how many CK has?

I can remember Posts on TOP and other game forums about how players were going to have 1000 warbirds laying in wait on the neutral zone and such. To bad none of those dream Posts ever saw the light of day.

Read the web page.

STM Version 1.7.4.1 is a small fix to the Component file - This download just contains one file. Download it ONLY if you have already downloaded and installed 1.7.4 prior to today. (Today being the date of the entry on the web page)

If you have not installed 1.7.4 then just download STM Version 1.7.4

Basically if you have not yet downloaded the STM 174 patch or full Version you good to go. Download and you will have the latests Version.

If you have already downloaded the patch or the full Version prior to the date of that entry, then you would want to update with the 1.7.4.1 patch.

really quickly, i have asked this before about a year ago but i have forgotten, what is the diffrence on the maps between sparse standard and dense maps?

i read the faq section in the mod, and it said "Also refer to Fyrons FQ help or his web site." but i dont know his website, or the faq!

thanks

[wilhil]

also just a little question... does the borg taunt do anything apart from make a noise?

and if that is it, how could you leave out the resistance is futile bit!
