Description:
Ladies and Gentlemen may I present NG's latest creation Trek Battles 3!
What more could the Legacy community ask for this Christmas? This is New Gens biggest ever release showcasing some of the finest workmanship from some of Legacy's finest workmen!
The Gigabyte size mod contains enormous vessels including the Excalibur Class and Kelvin Class, and miniature shuttles like the Delta Flier. There's also an abundance of additional ships for all the races. The Cardassians are able to enjoy new ships across ther Era's. The Dominion now enjoy space beyond the war. The sheer amount of content in the form of ships is enough to keep one entertained for days.
In addition of ships, there are maps. The space that NG|mods has constructed is vast and beautiful. The wide array of maps expands from clear space, to asteroid filled expanses. Each map, and each mission has its own realistic setting and characteristics allowing exploration and tense battling.
The content comes down to opinion. People will appreciate all the ships, or the concept of recreating missions in a shuttle. Some may not like some of them, or how they appear. Though I'll leave the opinion making down to all of you!
Main Features:
- Campaign (Part I, consisting of 7 missions)
- Reworked Interface
- Improved Graphics
- Improved AI and Gameplay
- Quality Enhancements
- New UI Elements
- Gamemodes
Merry Christmas to All

1. Description:
TBIII is the culmination of 2 years work, countless improvements have been made to ships, maps, shaders, AI, explosions, weapons, missions, in fact the overall quality of everything that made Trek Battles II what it was, has been vastly improved.
The menu system has been greatly simplified from the previous versions, you will now find what you are looking for much faster and with greater ease than was the case previously. There are extra game modes included in TBIII, such as 'quick battle', 'custom missions', 'capture the starbase' and a few surprises besides!
We now have a fully scripted 'Campaign', which works in the same manner as the original Legacy Campaign, in that you have to play through the missions in a progressive manner, just as you did in stock Legacy. (The original Campaign Missions are still playable via the 'Original Missions' menu).
"A discovery made by a Federation Starship in '2365' will shape events for the 'Federation', its 'Allies' and its 'Enemies' for years to come, in ways that Knowone could have expected or anticipated, hold on to your hats, this is going to be a bumpy ride!"
As promised, maps made by the 'TBIII' map contest winners are included, in this release.
On behalf of NGMods,
Merry Christmas, and above all, enjoy our mod!!
MarkyNCC and gdata, NG Mods Team.

And before anyone starts asking;
NO i haven't got anything running in the background
YES my wireless connection is 100% connected nothing wrong.
YES I have tried Downloading at different times....NO effect
NO I havent had any problems with other sites. In fact this is the 2nd DL I've tried from FileFront which has been far too looong to DL., I have downloaded from this site in the past and its was fine...now its not  
.../rant over
p.s, I'm from the UK if that makes any difference as the Mirror is from USA....and FileFront seems to be the only site i can find with the TB3 mod (sigh) |

Posts: 3497 | Yes the Campaign has one thing that I absolutely did not like one bit
Spoiler Alert
And that was the manner in which the Federation attempted to gain alliance with the Romulan Star Empire.
I know you guys were trying an in the pale moonlight type storyline but the Federation would never condone or even think about sending a borg ship under Federation control to destroy a Romulan station to trick them into an alliance. The way Sisko did it in DS9 was a secret. No one else knew but an actual tactical plan approved by the brass is totally against anything the Federation would do.l Other than that I think the guys have made a massive step for the Legacy Community by doing their own storyline campaign. |

Think back to 'Star Trek Insurrection' The Federation was willing to relocate the population of that planet, just for the benefits of vanity!

Posts: 63 | This...is...awesome! If it wasn't for the modders, Legacy would've been a long forgotten game. Great ships, but I particularly love the new campaign, it's good to be forced out of the "goodie-two shoes" Federation and make them do things worthy of a Romulan. I will say though, the enhanced tactical cube in "A Matter of Honour" |

Posts: 162 | I will be altering this mission, when the 2nd part of the campaign is finished. It was an attempt on my part not to make 'A Matter Of Honour' too easy. If I have upset anyone I appologise, that was not my intention.
My reasoning behind this was the 'TNG episode' 'The best of both worlds' where an entire fleet of Federation ships was destroyed by a Borg cube, this is a 'Tactical Cube', possibly one of a kind, and it figures that it would have to be very powerful to destroy a planet.
The mission is not impossible, just very difficult!! |

Also the mission is easy to win sometimes and then it is extremely difficult another! |

Posts: 63 | What I find works best in this situation is to "minimize" Legacy - hit alt/tab to go to your desktop screen then hit alt/tab again to maximize Legacy. Usually, the cursor will be there and fully functional. This has worked on both XP and Win 7, so I'd assume it would work on Vista as well. |

Posts: 15 | I've always loved Trek Battles 2 ( Specially the terran faction ). I only miss some few ships what where into TB2 but not in TB3.
Anyway I'm having a problem with selecting "ALL SHIPS" normally "5" would select all my 4 ships, but it doesn't seem to work =/.
Also the tool you delivered with it doesn't work 100%. Only thing I can change in it in Pixel Shader 3.0 an the detail level. The resolution and other things are all locked. Kinda annoying if its on 1280 x 720 on a 24 inch screen ( And yes, my pc can handle it; I7 920, GTX 285 and 6 gig ram ).
But still, GREAT MOD KEEP UP THE WORK  |

But I got a question though: why did you guys cut out a whole bunch of ships that were in TB2? Such as New Orleans and Cheyenne classes and the ship selection of the TNG Terran is lacking at best. Any reasons? |

Posts: 1627 | Okay, here's my personal thoughts on the mod.
I don't think this release has been very good and its down to a series of reasons.
You've ruined the game appearance with your graphics configuration. The ships look more like plastic than they do metallic giants. The specs are less effective, and it looks too much like a game rather than a real space simulator. That is you main downfall and its automatically made this mod my least played and least favored.
The ships are in general of good quality. the textures are very good, but once again, the game appearance hinders them from looking as good as they could... Some ships also have appaling quality. Ships like the Daedalus look terrible. Also, the original Enterprise era ships still have their stock textures, indicating a lack of attention to the entire era.
Pretty much all TOS and TNG Ships have high poly counts and high resolution textures. When i enter the Federation TOS era ship selection, the game freezes for 45 seconds before I see the ships...
The maps are average. Some will enable stunning captures, others reveal a rather disappointing star field (which looks as if it has a 256 colour setup). The nebula used also gets me on some maps. Rather than looking like misty perlin formations, it looks more smooth and like a camera filter of objects behind it, which for me is a bad thing.
The Performance is also quite random. On some maps with a few ships it'll play well. However, on some nebula heavy maps, the gameplay will run at 40 fps at one angle, and 2fps at another... For me such changes in gameplay is unacceptable when a user wants fluid and reliable gameplay.
The GUI is nice, but a little boring. Lots of gradient in colour looks rather sleek, but not something I'd pick for a Star Trek Game.
All in all, I think this mods success is coming purely out of lack of alternate choice when it comes to TC's. This is the newest available TC on LF for a long time... Unfortunately, for me, when I compare it to AM or UU, it comes 3rd. It needed more time spent on it, I'm afraid guys!
Sorry for the critical review. My personal opinions can't be included with the game description above so I'll post it here.

Posts: 1046 | By installing the STL Tools you can re-enable most of the ships that were in TB2 and disabled because we were not satisfied with their quality.
Regarding your review acid:
As for the graphics: We did not change a lot to the graphics and tbh, the spec settings haven't even been touched. Also, the ENT era ships, don't use stock textures, they are using the same textures we had in TB2 made by chrisluskey. Now, we are aware that the Fleet Selection is sometimes giving you a hard time, that's why you can disable unnecessary ships via STL Tools. And I know, not all maps in there are beauty, but we did not want to remove them all, simply because there are no real negative side effects (compared to having too much ships in there) when having a lot of maps available. Performance depends mainly on your hardware. To be honest, I do not have any lags apart from the Fleet Selection (3-4seconds when clicking the button) and it's quite difficult to "estimate" the performance on other computers (I'm running STL on a N260GTX, a AMD 9850 X4 and 4Gigs of RAM with SM3.0). So if people are using old hardware we recommend to turn down the graphics settings, remove ships from fleet selection and to play with 4 players or less...And I think I can't argue with you about the menu, but well, it was meant to be simplistic as many people complained about the over-crowded TB2 menu...
But I am really disappointed that you obviously did not consider any of the unique features we have in TB3....like the Campaign and the LEF (new version will come this month, btw)....
The overall problem of making large Mods is that you have to please everyone or at least as many people as possible. We naturally tried to do this, but there will always be things some people dislike and others like... |

Posts: 1627 | For me every ship looks like plastic. They also look plastic on the screenshots, above. Unfortunately, the mod displays every ships in pristine condition, and it ruins the metallic-realistic look. You might argue, but the only evidence of metallic hull markings are the aztec patterns, and they don't really appeal to me.
Also, its all very well to speed up the game by taking ships out using Tools, but that means I cant use the ships... I can't understand peoples obsession with quality. Too many ships have 2048x2048 textures nowadays when they should have reasonable textures and reasonable poly count to allow for fluid gaming. That's why I can't understand the issue with stock ships... All these super quality models kills gameplay. Simples.
And also, I have Nvidia 9800 GT+, 4GB ram, quad core, all that rubbish. Gameplay isnt a problem. I can handle any mission reasonably well, but I don't like the heavily fluctuating gameplay.
No idea what an LEF is, and I haven't tried the campaign. I'm a modder not a gamer I'm afraid and I dont feel like sitting through a series of missions. |

Posts: 162 | Aztec Hull patterns are realistic for Star trek, watch TMP again. Not every ship in the Star trek universe has a 'metallic look' about it.
Since 'Enterprise' came on the scene, I think a lot of people think that the metallic look is how every ship should now look, this simply is not the case.
You should try all the features of our mod, before you give it such a low mark, I think 5/10 is unrealistic 'acid' , and as you say you are interested in scripting missions, you could try playing through the 'campaign', there are things that I have put into these scripts, that you might be interested in? |

Posts: 1627 | Whilst not every ship had the metallic look, I don't think every ship was crystal clear white or light grey. Either way, for me they look unrealistic. At the end of the day, these ships are meant to be 200m+ long. I don't get the impression of size at all in TB.
I wouldnt be able to play the campaign. I play Legacy from my external hard drive and it can't link to the STL save folder. I've never even played the original campaign... I'll have a look however, but until I do, I still think its a 5/10, a lower mark I'd have given Trek Battles 2... |

But on the other hand there come some negative issues with it.
If you want the patch in your TB3 install, I'ld recommend to do this:
1. Clear Legacy Stock install
2. Install patch
3. Install TB3 |

I do have a 1.5 mb dsl line. I have 2 gs of ram and a 2.6 ghz cpu. I know I can't play tb3 with those specs but will be upgrading soon. It should not have anything to do with downloading tb3.

For best results, do a clean install of 'Stock legacy', then install TB3, followed by the TB3 patch.

I haven't done a download in the last month, TB3 was my only download. With so many people on here allowed to submit downloads, could it be that one of them slipped in a virus???

Posts: 3 | I don't wanna step on any toes here but i have to say that i spent all last night and most of today downloading trek battles part 1 all the way through part 3 sampling each of them because i heard they were worth looking into. Let me tell you i wont ever waste that much time or downloading space again. I was dissapointed in the quality of some of the ships of how un-cannon they looked well some not all, but some just looked flat out like a toy instead realistic. I had to uninstall and reinstall my STL 4 times just to try it all out and it was for nothing. I found the UU Mod 1.0 more cannon as far as ships and excellent voiceovers . But for Trek battles i cant say anything i like about it other than the TOS connie has lit up nacells like they should have stayed and some slight better explosions but other than that im just gonna stick with my UU with slight mods like ships and what not . i think its better personally and it won't CRASH on you! . Dont ban or flame me for my comment its just my opinion after sampling all 3 i found none of them to cannon. they outta make an "UU 3.0 Ultimate" that would be worth downloading IMO |

I have successfully downloaded the game along with STL tools. I've accessed STL tools and tried to add the "db" from Trek Battles 3 folder into it, but I'm getting an error saying that "This is not a legacy directory." I do not know how to start the game. Please give me proper instructions in initiating the game.

Posts: 162 | Did you install Trek battles 3 onto a 'stock install' ie 'straight off the disc'? A vanilla install of Legacy is required for TB3 to work correctly.
To get the STL tools to work, you need the name of your Legacy directory in the box where it says directory eg:
Crogram FilesBethesda SoftworksStar Trek Legacy
Once you have keyed that into the box STL tools should work.
As for the game itself, it will launch in the normal way from the 'Star Trek Legacy' desktop icon. |

I downloaded Trek Battles 3, and started the setup, and then tried to use the STL tools to make the game work, but it did not work. I am not very familiar with these "mods," so I would like to request step by step instructions. If you are, in any case, unable to provide me with the step by step instructions, I will "try" to make sense of your previous instruction and get the Trek Battles 3 modification working. I really appreciate your help, and the time you have taken out for me.
Thank you again,

Install Trek Battles 3 onto a 'stock legacy install':
1: Install Legacy straight off the disc
2: Run the TB3 exe installer
3: Install TB3 into the same directory as Stock Legacy
Run the game as you would normally from the Legacy desktop icon, when the game starts you will notice a different splash screen and different menus. TB3 can be started in the same way as the original game. |

Posts: 162 | Please remember guys, you need a fresh legacy install for TB3 to work correctly.
This mod is not compatible with anything else including TB2.
The best way to install TB3 is this:
1: remove absolutely everything from your hard drive relating to legacy, including the 'STL save' folder, which you will find in 'documents'.
2: Install a 'brand new' copy of 'stock legacy', straight from the disc.
3: Install 'TB3 patch 1.1'.
4: Install 'Destiny Addon'.
If you have any other large scale mods installed, you will experience problems.
note: TB3 'CANNOT' be installed over the top of TB2, it causes loads of problems with your game. |

There is nothing wrong with the content of this file, It was rigourously 'Beta Tested' by several members of the team before upload to Filefront. There were no 'viruses' or 'spyware' in the file at the time of upload.
'Norton' does however periodically list this website as potentially harmful to a computer.
As with any file sharing website there is always an element of risk in downloading files.
There was no issue in downloading this file when it was first uploaded last December, problems seem to have surfaced after this website was altered a few months ago. |

If you dont have 1 of each of these ship classes it does cause the game to crash. |

Posts: 2 | Well as far as my personal opinions go, I think some of the ships have too much speed to then, and it sometimes feels like I'm just flying all over kinda aimlessly and it kinda gets annoying every now and then. Personally, I actually liked the additional campaign, my only problem with it were those long pauses or drags on a cut scene. I personally prefer UU over this one. The ship graphics in UU are better and tho I do understand the manual control of the vessel I don't like the fact direct hull damage doesn't show immediately and that kinda takes away from how I enjoy the game. It's an okay mod but the toned down look of the ships and the lack of immediate visual damage to direct hits kinda makes it feel unrealistic for me.
I'd give it 7.0/10. |

I have found in the past, that even after uninstalling Legacy, some material is still left in the directory. So one option I have used is to rename the directory when you install a fresh copy of the game. eg instead of:
(Crogram FilesBethesda Softworks Star Trek Legacy)
change it to
Crogram FilesBethesda Softworks Star Trek Legacy1) |
