Star Trek - The Final Frontier (Alpha 0.5)

Post by rjord2021 »

ORIGINAL: Hattori Hanzo

can the above be modified by the player ?

There will be options to change the way the mod is played.....

ORIGINAL: Hattori Hanzo


it seem "strange" to me that an "Admiral" will be killed instead of the "Leader".

if the "Leader" will be killed a new "Leader" will be elected [or inheritate or whatever] as usual.

Rjord1, what are the reasons that lead you to this epochal change?


When you follow the Star Trek TOS storyline in TV, comic or Novels the first time the Federation President appears is 20 years later in 2286 where the President appears in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home with this speech after the Earth is in danger of destruction:

"This is the President of the United Federation of Planets. Do not approach Earth. The transmissions of an orbiting probe are causing critical damage to this planet. It has almost totally ionized our atmosphere. All power sources have failed. All Earth-orbiting starships are powerless. The probe is vaporizing our oceans. We cannot survive unless a way can be found to respond to the probe. Further communications may not be possible. Save your energy. Save yourselves. Avoid the planet Earth at all costs. Farewell..."

After Star Trek IV the President was mentioned 17 times in comics set following the movie. Not once was the President referred to prior to Star Trek IV. The President from Star Trek IV is also the only one with a picture. Yes I could create portraits of Presidents and have Dame Judith Dench play one of the roles.... but I want to try and keep the mod as real as possible.

This mod is being heavily modified and the following roles have being changed:
Leader
Fleet Admiral
Ambassador
Scientist
Troop General
Colony Governor
Intelligence Agent

In effect the Leader role no longer exists....

I know this is a big change.... but trust me...... you will like what I am doing here.

Apologies in advance, I don't want to come across as impertinent...
Has any version of this been made available?
Is there an upcoming date for anything playable?
It would seem a pity for this to go the same way as kickstarter's Limit Theory.

This mod is still in development. I am working on the ships used by races other than the Federation, Romulans and Klingons.

Some more news on the mod shortly.

I am making significant changes to each of my mods which will finally allow me to complete each mod.

I believe everyone will like what I am doing with these mods.

Star Trek will be the priority... Followed by Star Wars and Stargate. Work continues on Doctor Who and Warhammer.

Each mod was effected by the same problem but over the last few weeks I have devised how to resolve this issue.
