hi i have stbc but can some1 plz tell me a mod where u get more ships plz and will i still need the original patch from activision to play it on ? i appreciate any advice thanks :D
I like your thinking. Lets build some superships that will bleed the budget dry, antagonize all the neighboring empires into cold war arms race, and which will still lack the maneuvarability to survive when the borg actually fire back. Not to mention having so few of them that it will leave large areas unpatrolled, and of course requiring so much time on the drawing board they will be antiquated the time they finish, not to mention the war already being over. Sure, I would vote for such a move.
No, I was commenting on what Magnorion said. I have no idea why it seems the answer went to you instead. Maybe I just mis-clicked. Sorry for the inconvenience.
I was just trying to point out to him that the wishes of a single captain, and the realities of admirals and presidents are quite different, and following the ship captains wishes in a strategic/political situation may win battles but will lose wars. "Captains are like children. Give them what they need, not what they want." -Scotty
No probs at all, I noticed youtube is rather funky with where it places responses. Sometimes they go to the top and look like they're a reply to nothing, other times they appear right under someone else's post.
The answers seem to go to the "newest" position when sent, but then seem to find their own way to the right place. I have noticed refreshing the browser page a few times usually helps to place it where it belongs... or somewhere close anyway. :-p
how do you get the outside view on the ship, ive tried making vids like this but i cant get that perspective, i can only get from the captains chair or behind the ship with all the instruments, is there some software to download so you can record the battles or something?
Always a tough day with the borg. Cunning and careful tactics are the name of the game and as many starships as can be found at the moment. Transphasic torpedoes help if you have those. :)
Mods which change the hardpoints and weapon behavior of your ships available on bcfiles dot com. (Spelled out, for some reason when you type a link the comment isn't posted.)
well it would have made more sence to make the mods work in the game itselve as was the quick play and multi player since the weapons systems in the main game is lack luster i mean 1 beam per phaser as apposed to the true number on a ship? and the torpedos as well
Bear in mind that a Cube is 28 cubic kilometers. That is an ENORMOUS ship! One Cube probably outmasses most of Starfleet. While it became fashionable to portay them as weak in Voyager, a single cube is very, very dangerous.
That was probably true back during mid TNG when it "Felt" like there were many fewer ships. But after DS9 the numbers got more realistic for the size of the Federation (thousands of combat capable ships, probably many thousands more smaller ships in Starfleet) but yes, the Borg are a major threat. And I don't think Voyager portrayed them as weak, they only narrowly survived most encounters with the Borg and even then only because they had an ex-Borg expert planning all their Borg operations.
A Federation Sovereign-class is 685 meters long, 250 meters wide and 88 meters high. If we assume it were a solid rectangle, which obviously it isn't, it would have a volume of about 15,000,000 cubic meters. A Cube, at 3036 meters per side, has 1857 times the volume of the rectangle-Sovereign and more like 3500 times the volume of an actual Soevereign. See where I am going with this?
For every Sovereign you probably have 3 Galaxies, 10 Ambassadors, 50 Excelsiors, 100 Mirandas, etc. etc. I get your point that they are huge, but Federation Starbases (the spacedock style ones) are nearly the size of a Borg cube, and there are hundreds of them. (Somewhere in the vicinity of 800)
Man, I was impressed with the firepower this sovereign showed at the beginning. I'm having trouble with the cardassian hibrid in bridge commander, but I don't believe it's the same game. You see... I don't think there's enough room on the game for both cardassians and borg threats, so it can be a different version or an expansion. Can somebody clear it up for me? Oh, and thanks a lot for the vid
All the episodes and movies haven't implied that if you just "get enough firepower" the Borg go down, but rather that they can adapt to any individual weapons and basically get resistant or immune to them. What I always thought was that an anti-Borg design should pack a lot of DIFFERENT kinds of weapons which would all fire together. Disruptors, compression waves, photons, quantums, phasers, etc.
Until the Borg adapt to them. :) Voyager adapted its shields to deal with torpedoes which were in temporal flux, I'm sure the Borg can find a way to adapt against phased torpedoes. In fact the episode gave away that it was assumed the Borg would adapt eventually. Relying on any one weapon was the mistake of "Best of Both Worlds"
i played the demo version and it's so cool can someone please tell where to download it full version

This mod is awfull, becuase you can't see the shields clearly and the direction from wich side the shields are getting hit / drained.

Or Transphasic torpedoes as seen in Star Trek Voyager 2 or 3 of them could take out a borg cube
