Awesome

Its great u have done a patch so quickly  ^_^  

Thank you! And now another 2 weeks until V3  :P  Hurry up Optec...  

Huh???

2 weeks sounds good to me...

To me too, though I doubt it :D

NIice. Thank you very much Fleet Ops team. :)  

nice and I'm sure jan's just saying two weeks as a hope lol

Great work guys!

GREAT  :thumbsup:

and thx a lot  B)  

That was just a joke! they have to redo Borg. That's much work!

yeah i was just wondering has anyone had crash problems i installed the new patch and when i go to load up an instant action game it crashes on the loading screen

please help  

did it work prior installing the patch for you, or is it a fresh install?

yes it did but ive found it now the problem appears to be with the war of hell 2 player map i havent tried all of the maps but from what i can see its just this one

by the way thanks for replying

One of the great things about this forum is that someone usually does

yeah but if the poster's name is [=!=]redshirt, it probably wont be of much help lol  :P

anyway on topic, if it was working before then you probably shouldn't install the patch. if none of those symptoms (what the patch fixes) were a problem for you then it really wont do much good for you. everyones comp is different, so er yeah... you may not get the problems that others do. well im babbling now... so bottom line just keep it without the patch.
hey doca is their any known problems with compatibility between patched and unpatched versions?

Ah, ok, War of Hell, will be fixed  B)

Awesome

Simply because of the balance changes the patches are not compatible for multiplayer matches.  ^_^  

You guys are my Favorite mod!

ctrl + q ??Delete??   for map editor  

btw only just noticed this... but is there gonna be a fix for the fact that the AI can build structures without constructing the structures that human players need to first?

Aye and the Dominion AI can construct ships without actually having the prototype first. Ive watched closely at what he does, in one yard he builds the prototype and in the other the actual ship :S

so guys when will the full version be out i cant wait this is the best mod out there in my opinion

hurm....Crashes on start up for me, happend once before the patch and i thought the patch would fix it. also i whent to advanced settings to change the way the little logo that comes up for start comes up, i thought that mabe that was the problem, and i got hist with threee or fore errors at each screen.

Edit::
Relized this was no help with out error text.  first error,
cant find FOHook.exe
Clicked on advenced cant find   highres/RGB/hrset and foset
 Cant find what im looking for so i Go to change Use high res textures cant find FOHook.exe and hrset and fohook.exe
Fond what i was loking for, tels me i have a regristry problem. then it cant find FOHook.exe changes dindt hold, game crashes on start. thanks
 

@ Tommy: When it's done  B)  

actally i think that dissasembles the ship/station  

I was jaut able to start the game, i didnt use the auto play feture of the disk.

these sounds like fleet operations beta 2 errors to me. have you installed Fleet Operations 3 PR and Patch 1 for 3PR or something else? :)
just install these two files:
FOSetup3PR.exe
FleetOps3PRPatch1.exe

DOCa Cola

Wow,

fantastic work again.
The graphics look like they are one generation ahead than Star Trek Legacy.

Ok, it is a prerelease.
So I donīt bother with some things, which are disturbing me.
Phaser beams to thick, sizes of the torps and some ships, unbalanced weapon and damage.
(The dominion bombers are firing faster than I can speak.)

But thatīs just my opinion and a matter of personal taste.
I will do as always and modify some odf to fit my needs ; )

This is actually the best-looking Star Trek Mod of all times.

Thank you for your hard efforts and giving us something to play with.
It seems Star Trek is outdated in the eyes of the industry.
So this is the last hope for our community.

LtCdr

BTW
Are there still some glitches in the AI of the Feds?
I never saw a Galaxy, Defiant or Sovereign built from it.
Maybe the buildlist has too many -1 inside, eating up the ressources.
(For the Non-modders, this means infinite rebuilds when a unit is lost)
 

this is definitly very, very, very late, :sweatdrop:  but hooah, can't wait till full version :sweatdrop:  

have you ever thought of having wormholes that lead to other maps that would be greet you could take over the galaxy is this possible for future versions

good suggestion mate that would cool

Sounds cool, but I doubt it's possible.

Little like star wars empire at war? :huh: mmh cool B)  

stop mentioning ******* star wars!

sounds more like conquest frontier wars to me.

Sounds way cool to me, and it would make Sectors more intersting.  

ive just put the preview release on my bruvs comp(he doesnt have the net) and every time you load a game up the game jumps about and the sound is ditorted can anyone help

if its any good to you he has got a amd athlon xp2700+ 2.16 ghz with 448mb ram
also has a realtek alc 650 sound card

please help as i would like him to be able to enjoy this wonderful game

that is not possible. still you could create a big map with seperate areas connected with wormholes. ;)

check if all drivers are up to date.
please, requests like these should go to the technical stuff section

Ok, never/rarely posting on here but always watching the boards. Been one of those silent (and PATIENT) fans who have been content to sit back and wait for 3 and now i've seen the PR i know it was worth the wait, excellent job!

The wormhole idea is definately not feasable as Doca has said but how about a  BOTF/RoN mix? Forgive me if people have mentioned this before. Conquer the galaxy one sector at a time. I'd love to see wild cards of extra fleet's or starting with more resources. And you'd have every race against everyone else. Those who have played RoN know what i mean. Just a thought? maybe for FO5 or something  ;)  

I am just curious to when the other four races will be released V3 PR is fun and a nice refit from a graphical stand point! It would however be nice to play against the borg! Awaiting for the next patch update!  

things i would like to have for the final version of 3.0:

an offline manual;
display hitpoints in the tooltips;

an explanation why one map is called "It's hammer time"--> "This is not Warcraft in space" but it is 3D
 

It's probably a joke reference to MC Hammers song

The Truth is out thier  :lol:  

Cant touch this ;)

Why shouldnt it be called that?

i was just confused to the name, since its the signatur line of the dwarfen griffon rider(in WC3), when he spawns and because someone stated that he played to much WoW.  ;)

btw.: the other two points are meant serious!

add.: my other two comments are refering to StarCraft BroodWar just click very often on Artanis!

how do i set a darn avatar on this board? i'd like to put up a picture

click on the "my controls" button at the top, scroll down and click on "edit avatar settings". add your pic from there. if that doesnt work then it may be that the pic your trying to add is either too big in actual size (no larger than 80 pixels by 80 pixels) or too big in file size (no larger than 20kb).

oh yeah welcome B)  

I know this is really really late.. but... this is the pre-release?!?! Man, I can't wait for the actual thing! The graphics are outstanding.. the explosions don't create lag spikes for me anymore, and you can really see the improvements in the shields. The Artificial Intelligence is actually somewhat-intelligent for once! The only thing i see wrong with the ai after playing it a little would be that they still send their own ships to their dooms by running them one by one into a blockade of mine.. heh. But really, this is outstanding.. good job guys  :D  

well, they do send all ships at once to your base, but some are faster than others :(

hmm and the ai doesn't build defenses en masse anymore :(

I don't miss it.  ^_^  

go play online then ;)

hmm without an ISP (-1 kb download and -1 kb upload) at home I can't really play online->an ISP will come in the next weeks  :omg:

oh what's the fuzz with this word banning system, i even can't write **** and so on :)  ;Whats so cruel about ****

I could answer if I knew what **** is. :)

d4mn r3p|4(3 7h3 4 w17h 4 "4"? 0h... replace the 4 with a "a" sorry!
 

Just wanna say THANK YOU to the Fleetops team!  

as do i.

"damn" is now on the whitelist :)

our saviour !

thanks my great savior! I bow down to your greatness :->

Nice work.... always and have you anything plan for the 40 anniversary? ;)  

That would be cool...
