Want to try and out duel the Cardassian Empire when it comes to intel and espionage? It's your choice. Want to make the Federation into a war hungry race? Go right ahead. The diplomacy element and how you go about your conquest is directly related to the race you choose and how you play out their strengths and weaknesses. The game play is very similar to any 'Civ' type games where you are building up colonies and solar systems to achieve one main goal: domination of the galaxy. The game opens with the classic 'Star Trek' intro and players are treated to thinking that you are really building the Star Trek universe from scratch. Now if they would only make Birth of the Federation 2! Wait the game was so popular that a group of fans are already doing that themselves! With the added mods this game jumps straight to the top of the Star Trek gaming list. To adding more ships and weapons to the game. There are any number of mods that can increase the enemy AI and building habits. What really makes Birth of the Federation one of the best games is the mods. The turned based battles can be very exciting if you can get 50 or more ships in one fight. The game gives you the ability to take any of the big 5 big races from your home system to controlling the entire quadrant. The original game had its issues with the AI enemies not building large fleets or stations. This is one of if not the best Star Trek games made. I found this game quite nice, although a little slow and somewhat bad in regards to the "smart AI" as that you find that sometimes colonies will not build anything unless you tell them to build it, but apart from that, it is a good game. Finally, a Star Trek game that allows us who do not want to go blasting Romulans from space.
