2. No not every race, but only space faring (tholians, vulcans, ferengi, acamarians, ktarians,..)
3. YES definitely
4. Note the games is still pre-Alpha (it will go alpha in near future) and the first combat system had to be scraped due to incompatibility with windows vista/7 so the 1. is subject to change
@rogelioVela1985 there was a pool for this and the general opinion was no, because they are a random event and the would be OP in comparison with other races. BUT the game is designed to be very modable and an editor is likely to be part of release, so expect quite a few mode featuring Borg as playable race
Maybe its just that I cannot tell from the videos but it seems there is no interaction during combat ala most RTS games? You sort of just throw the ships at each other and eventually one blows up? I hope this isn't the case. Starfleet Command seemed fairly good at this kind of combat, aye.
I suspect I probably just can't tell from the videos... surely? Well done on making this game happen.
Looks to be about as good as anything they made for the Starfleet Command games. Amazing this is an independent project. Awesome work with this engine so far! I hope we can see more soon.
Nearly on eyear on and no further updates on this game. No further details on the net it seems. Killed by the recession perhaps?

just to ask;
1. will the combat be like the turn to turn combat on the original BOTF?
2. will every race have a ship?
3. will every mini-empire (like tholians, ferengi, talarians etc) have their own little empire?

can u play as the Borg on this game? would be cool if u can.
someone should try to work on Borg: assimilator or make a mimic on the original game that was delayed or canceled.

impressive. Looks like a semi cross between Starfleet Command and Armada 1 .

Birth of the Federation was a cool game but it was so so bugged. These guys are fixing it on there own time to make it a great game. nuff said.

This isn't a finished game ffs, give it time. It's just a demonstration of the combat itself and it isn't even final.

Repetitive. Not turn based.
