Cruis.In Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 the original game mechanics didn't cut it for me. thankfully, taldren the developers made it as moddable as all of their games previously and the talented community has come to its rescue. mods released by players have added over 200 star trek ships, plus some created by themself to the game, plus more show like weapon loadouts on the ship. along with other tweaks, its definitely the game it should be by default. all models are redone, better models, plus better textures. extremely important was all the lights missing from ships. A romulan warbird now looks like a romulan warbird. also with new missions and scripts, its more fun to play the online customized campagnes that these mods offer. There is a constitution refit in the game which looks just like if you were looking at it from the motion picture. this mod can be found here www.starfleetcommand3.net others like it can be found at sfc3files.com such as Dominion Wars Mod. Unity II mod. if you bought sfc3 a while ago and wanted to give it another whirl...these mods won't disappoint.
almostpilot Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 Thanks for the information. SFC3 is a great game !!!!
Cruis.In Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Posted February 6, 2004 i thought someone might find it useful. if someone had found it i would have wanted them to tell me about it heh....... defiant remains my favourite ship to fly, though its not as powerful as portrayed on t.v
Commander Elio Jason Posted February 6, 2004 Report Posted February 6, 2004 thanks alot man! bought it awhile back but didn't like it since i had troubls getting online( )
Cruis.In Posted February 6, 2004 Author Report Posted February 6, 2004 hope you enjoy it. with the 1.04 update, there are so many missions added to the dynaverse. so single player multiplayer, both are fun. before you could only get missions when choosing to attack another AI ship. now there are at least 15 scripted missions to choose from to gain prestige, and take over hexes. another version 1.1 will add much more to the campagne aspect, terms of missions and the map. if you want to remove those annoying shield rings around your ship let me know. looks cool when they are gone.
rjy01 Posted February 7, 2004 Report Posted February 7, 2004 Thanks for the link! I love this game -- I still remember playing the old Starfleet Battles on paper. (I can hear it now -- they played games on paper?)
Cruis.In Posted February 7, 2004 Author Report Posted February 7, 2004 mase, this game has a huge following of sfb fans.
rjy01 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 Cruis, are you are of this site ? You can buy the reprints of sfb. None of my old cohorts are close enough to play anymore, but I bought a copy anyway for nostalgia's sake.
Cruis.In Posted February 8, 2004 Author Report Posted February 8, 2004 mase, if you meant to ask if i was aware, nope. heeh nostalgia is good maybe we can play an sfc3 game together sometime the modded one of course.
rjy01 Posted February 8, 2004 Report Posted February 8, 2004 quote:Originally posted by Cruis.In: maybe we can play an sfc3 game together sometime the modded one of course. That would be very cool!
Cruis.In Posted February 8, 2004 Author Report Posted February 8, 2004 well let you know when, and we can negotiate a time. right now im in the gamesnet channel chattin with pugwash and chavik.
Fyasko Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Hello All, SFC III can still be a tactical challenge. I and my fleet play on GSA and the "Unity 2.2" mod. It is fairly easy to install and get on the Dynaverse. Coordination is done on Teamspeak. My fleet is currently the best and most feared in the Dyna on this mod. The Unity 2.3 is in the testing phase and the new Camp will begin in a week or two. If you are interested in participating, check it out at http://www.stcd.sgonline.com/forum/ and check out the progress. Hope to see you there.
Cougar_DK Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 How does it compare to Orion Pirates? (The only one I have)
Fyasko Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 It is way bigger than OP. Check it out. Also, more ships are being developed for it so your options are enormous.
Cougar_DK Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 Ok I will. It seems that your link dosn't work...
Fyasko Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 http://www.stcd.sgnonline.com/forum/index This is the one.
Fyasko Posted February 26, 2004 Report Posted February 26, 2004 http://www.stcd.sgnonline.com/unity/ This is the link to the Unity Camp Website.
Cruis.In Posted February 27, 2004 Author Report Posted February 27, 2004 at a store maybe? if not try amazon how does unity compare to GAW, MPS?
GT123 Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Geez...maybe I should check out SFC III. I certainly enjoyed SFC and SFC II. If I'm not mistaken, SFC III is set in the NG timeline???
