odf file endings or even Armada-style file structure, but it isn't anything more than superficial. If you wanted, you could design a modern engine with. The ODF structure being kept was due to the comfort of the design team really. A lot of Armada II's problems similarly were caused by the rushed/publisher-demanded nature - some of the most prominent examples include the truly flawed craft AI, and the slapped on warp system. Armada I had ~2x the development time of Armada II, and Armada II had I think 2x the development time as Legacy, and Legacy was only changed to its released state very late in the development stage. Yup, the reason that Legacy has so many issues is that it was super rushed. Although Maddoc used the Storm3d toolset to begin building Legacy, Legacy doesn't use Armada features and is its own engine. All the core functions - AI, weapons management, etc - was rewritten or started from scratch. I hadn't inquired too much about what was retained. Legacy was pretty much written from the ground up by Maddoc - I think some of the pathing and pizza-box stuff was kept from Armada.

Havent cheaked on Birth of the Empires lately though, another fan made "sequal" to BotF, altho they are using non star trek races to avoid copywright infringement and once completed they said they would make a Star Trek conversion mod for it.pretty sneaky. Was hoping that Star Trek Supremacy was gonna make it out but it looks like that project ground to a haul. I totally agree with you on that, Birth was hella fun and if you got some of the modes it was epic fun, unfortunatly its so damn ustable I cant get it to run anymore. I'm still upset they never made a sequel to BotF. I'd also recommend downloading the Ultimate Dominion Mod for BotF if you ever get bored of the regular game, it adds the (surprise) Dominion into the game and a bunch of other NPC races like the Breen and Son'a. While I find Armada a bit more fun in the short term, BotF feels more like Star Trek to me since you're actively exploring an entire galaxy and doing more then just building armies of ships. The Undying Nephalim wrote:If you don't mind a slow paced game for multiplayer I highly recommend Birth of the Federation. It aims to be better, and truer to Trek, than any known Trek game yet. It's a fan produced game which started as a BC mod. If you like BC, you may want to follow Star Trek Excalibur if you aren't already.
And when things don't play together nicely, forget it. So you often have to merge global scripts when installing mods. All of their scripts are exposed, which on the one hand is good for modders, but on the other hand they never intended it for modding so there's no larger structure around them. That said, if you thought A2 modding was a bit of a mess, you'll quickly find that BC modding is a bloody nightmare. I played part of SFC III, it was alright, but it got a bit tedious after a while and I kindof lost interest.īC is a bit bland on it's own, but KM definitely spices it up. I think EF now is mostly RPG play through the RPG-X mod. I'm not sure what the MP scene is for these anymore there may not even be servers running. As I understand it, there are even some parts from the ancient A2 engine in Legacy.Īs for other games Elite Force and Elite Force II weren't bad EF2 tends to be considered the "worse" game although I liked it well enough. The graphics were alright, but the coding was crap. They put less experienced devs on the project which was probably too ambitious for the target time frame they got rushed and were forced to release it unfinished. the original rochard was brilliant in so many ways. One game i'm really looking forward to is Rochard 2 (and the rochard 1 dlc). EA need to stop with the whole yearly release bullshit, they obviously can't polish it off quickly enough. I really wanted to play fifa 13 this year, but it's like legacy (see above image for artist's impression). so i only keep them to occasionally run through the campaign. but i don't think any are on this forum.Īs for the other trek games, i don't any are good enough for online mp (or don't even have it). You might find a couple people playing legacy's ultimate universe mod.

#BATTLEZONE 2 ODF FILES WINDOWS#
Legacy's multiplayer was really buggy, i don't even think it works on windows 7.
