Tow,

BOTF had many great ideas.

Unfortunately, Hasbro pushed the design out the door and did not give the Dev's time to finish the game. In its shelf-release, espionage was disabled. Thus, the Romulans were completely neutered. None of their advantages/specials did anything.

Luckily, some "Enterprising" modder's really went to work on the basic code, and did an admirable job rectifying many of the problems.

GalCiv is an incredibly well-programmed game. I am sure if (like me) you are hoping for a great "basic" space game that gets all the elements righ, you will enjoy it.

Welcome!

I loved BOTF... I'd love to play it again sometime. Got any links for those mods? Are they still out there?

I really liked the starship combat on BOTF, I especialy loved being the Romulans... a cloaked sneak attack could be so devestating.

ok, 3 posts in a row, I guess I'm a little scatterbrained... but I liked the diplomacy in BOTF too...

I think BOTF really had alot going for it, I'd love to see a BOTF2 as long as they didn't butcher it like they did with MOO3, but I don't think they are even willing to consider a BOTF sequal...
