Notes, Bugs and Credits

     AUTHORS NOTES

    I think I have done my best to portray the Star Trek Universe accurately while squeezing the maximum out of the Civ2 game engine. I hope that you enjoy the scenario. Having three playable races has extended the playability of the scenario but this has limited me to using mostly AI-friendly units as the AI is always controling two of the major races. It has also limited the number of different starships that each race may have - thus no Miranda, Nebula, Intrepid, Akira, Steamrunner, Norway, Saber, Centaur, New Orleans class ships. There was also no room for the Cardassian Union or Ferenggi Alliance. My other ST scenario, Star Trek: Dominion War has been released and has many of these things as you only play as the Federation in that scenario.

    The "Clydesdale" freighter is a beautiful SFC ship I borrowed. All other freighters, the Romulan "Hawk" scout and "Vulture" cruiser, and the generic "Dreadnaught" were borrowed from other games or invented out of neccessity. The cargo-pod is actually a Kazon-Ogla cruiser which I digitized but could not use. "Sunseed" is a concept created by Diane Duane.

     

     KNOWN BUGS & OTHER PROBLEMS

    I can't find where to change some menu items, so for example you still have to choose airlift or press 'L' to use the null-space catapult.

    The Power graph doesn't work now that each turn is 3 months.

    There is a very small chance that the BORG actually will research all the way to the other races ships if they control most of the map. You would probably have given up long before that.

     

     CREDITS

    I can take credit for doing all the trek specific art - like the starships, Borg units and space stations. They have a little kb marked at the top left corner. Most of the other units and icons were taken or modified from existing sources.

    My apologies- in the many rounds of re-editing, initials of those who did the original unmodified art were lost although more than one had the initials jc. Many were modified from the scenarios in FW as I'm sure you'll recognize.

    Any art that I drew myself you can use without asking me. Since other people's little initials were erased when I did my scenario, I only ask that ST:BAQ is mentioned in the readme if any of my art is used.
