Only issue is that the reaction time to the mouse is painfully slow BOTF Fan 0 point. There are still sites like armadafleetcommand who have mods and tweaks for the game. JeanLuc 0 point.

Post by Weirdness » Sun Jan 04, pm I'm no expert here, but it might have something to do with display drivers or the general video display setup in Laptops. You two are not the only ones who've had these problems. I am almost certain someone will reply with a solution, but if not, browse and browse , and if that doesn't work browse some more.

Try the new All in One Installer On the last screen of the install program is a tick box labelled 'Launch Birth of the Federation now'. Download version 1. In addition to being one of the longer titles in strategy-gaming history, Star Trek: The Next Generation -- Birth of the Federation has a few other notable aspects.

Not all of them are good, unfortunately, but all is not lost. This is a case where the preponderance of gameplay is solid enough to tip the scales to the positive side and should appeal to most fans of the Star Trek universe and keep them playing for a fairly long time.

To get the most enjoyment from this title, the player must satisfy two essential criteria: they must be familiar with and enthusiastic about the Star Trek: The Next Generation series, and they must enjoy micro-management carried out on a very large scale.

The first requirement is important because the game's roots are firmly embedded in the realm of The Next Generation and, as such, contain no references to the original series other than generalities like starships, the Federation, and 'boldly going where no one has gone before. The micro-management is a double-edged sword. If you're a true Trekker who doesn't mind rolling up his sleeves and diving deep into the machinations of running a universe from nearly every conceivable aspect, Birth of the Federation will certainly be an immersive and satisfying experience.

For those who like computer-assisted help in handling small details and requirements of day-to-day operation, the game's AI management is somewhat limited in a couple of cognitive areas, such as planet development and resource management.

These limitations loom large in respect to the game's most glaring problem: over-emphasis on combat. For those fans who followed the original series and want to conduct business in terms of peaceful exploration of new frontiers, be advised that having a significant and powerful starship fleet in Birth of the Federation is mandatory. Although you can control any of the five major races in the game, each with specific qualities, attributes, strengths, weaknesses, agendas, and attitudes, it will become necessary at some stage to defend or conquer other races.

Indeed, the two single-player victory choices deal with domination 60 percent of the entire galaxy's population and solar systems and vendetta you must completely eliminate the two major races pre-set as the mortal enemies of your race. In either instance, heavy combat will be required. Some relief can be had through the capability to limit galaxy size and the four options to control the number of minor races encountered.

Although there is an option to allow the AI to manage your planets and resources, it becomes a massive chore in the late stages of the game. Unfortunately, the AI doesn't always make the best choices and, subsequently, the player must keep a sharp eye on every single planetary system under his or her ownership.
