Oohh, I like the Cardassian Hutet class!
But where are the Romulans and the Breen?
Posted by Aban Rune (Member # 226) on :
Aban likes the new Cardie ships!! But I agree, I want to see some Breen!!

the dom carrier looks like a pile of crap it's not very dominion like in design at all
Posted by Shik (Member # 343) on :
What's with that bogus Dominion logo? And that Achilles-class irks me. A lot. Good thing I don't play video games.

"Strategize! Maneuver! Anticipate!"
Quite possibly the most exciting blurb ever.

Wasn't there a Romulan D'Dredriex Warbird under other races? As for the Achiles does it remind anybody else of the Faux Dauntless?

Posted by Wes1701E (Member # 212) on :
I will have to check there.

Seen it and played it. 'Tis OK, but has major issues with nVidia video cards. You have been warned.
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
Still waiting for it out here in Calgary. And of course, I've got a TNT N Vidia. Damn. Where are you, Mr. Patchman?

It has "major issues" with the most popular graphics card make of the last 3 years? Brilliant move.
Posted by crobato (Member # 542) on :
The website forgot to include the Class 4 Breen dreadnaughts.
Posted by Mark Nguyen (Member # 469) on :
And the Sabre-class ships, yes? I've seem them in screenshots. Anything else? No Borg this time? Man, *that* would be fun.

Re: nVidia problems.
Yes, they are truly 'major.' A friend just installed it on his (nVidia) machine. The program refuses to work, full stop. I agree, great move by the designers...

Yeah. I'd bet at least half the games playing public has a TNT or Geforce card in their machines...
Posted by crobato (Member # 542) on :
They also forgot to include the Cardassian Keldon classes.
Of the six new ships, I have to say I like the three new Cardassian ships, the JH Strike Cruiser, and the new Klingon Ka'Vorcha. They look quite canon. I don't really like the JH Super Carrier and the Fed Achilles class.

Posted by NightWing (Member # 4) on :
There are Breen ships in the game, the patch fixes something for those ships...
Also, I can remember a site stating that the game will not run at 1600x1200 (and higher )or maybe even 1280x1024, due to limitations of the game engine.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
Er, does anyone with a computer that costs less than Simon for the night actually run games at 1600 x 1200? That's, like, mad. Dude.

Slightly off topic but:
I remember somewhere in another thread (possibly at SSR, I can't remember) talking about the BOTF game. I don't have a clue where to find it again, so I'll ask my question here since we are talking about Star Trek games.
When I play BOTF on this computer, the battles are weird. The ships don't have their textures, instead there's a bluish/purpulish kind of static for their skins. It worked fine on my computer upstairs (which unfortuantely cannot play it anymore due to a hard drive crash).
Anybody have an idea or ever experienced something similiar?

Re: Stingray:
It's a weird D3D bug. You need to download a different (more recent) set of drivers for your graphics card to solve the problem.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
That's most probably true. What graphics card are you running?
Suggestions: Get the latest drivers, and install them Try (re)installing the latest version of DirectX Install the patch. Just incase your installation has gotten corrupt, reinstall it. Your save games should be fine.
