[Haspen]

* Haspen blows thee dust off of the old title.

So, what it says on the tin! Are there still enthusiasts of that old (and very neat) strategy game? People who still turn Federation into power or create galaxy-wide empires? People who keep failing to the Borg? Who go all 'fffuuuu' at calamarain appearing on first ten turns?

And most importantly: any people who want to multiplayer it? I think it could be achieved with 'tcp/ip' option in the game and then hussle around with hamachi?

I used to play it all the time with my friend.

My problem with it was always that the game just didn't seem very balanced - specifically, minor races tended to have higher tech then the players, not to mention well-populated worlds, so anyone who scooped up the minor races would be way ahead in production over someone who had to send out colony ships to grow.

Since the Federation got a hefty bonus to diplomacy, they'd be the ones with all those planets, and they'd just run over the rest of the galaxy.

Does the game run on Win7? I don't think I've played it in over a decade.

[Haspen]

Yeah, I just always play with few or none minor races (mostly few, though. Flavor and all that).

Federation always gets the Edo. Actually Federation tends to be the most powerful opponent if you let it roam around undisturbed for more than 40-50 turns :/

Dunno about win7, though. I have winXP myself and it works nicely, just needs a slight graphical adjustment.

I thought it was unbalanced intentionally.

Given the Federation won in reality because its diplomacy.

That's why I take Cardassians and try to punt Federation while it's still small

Just saying I started an LP of the game in case you guys want to read/watch? :v
