A petition has started for an official sequel for the game:

I'm not sure if it will help, but it is worth a shot.

I liked it, but it did have some serious flaws. I'd love to sequel though.

Flaws that shouldn't be in the next edition:
1. DO NOT MAKE BORG INVINCIBLE. -_-;
2. Reduce the upgrades in half.
3. Fix the terrible slow down that makes the game unplayable past 700 turns.
4. Allow more indepth control per system. Its so annoying to see, "A spy of an enemy empire has done this, that, and other" and not actually be able to do squat to stop it.

There are other problems besides the listed ones, but the core basis of the game is quite good. It just felt like there was no QC done on the game at all. :-/

The Borg wasn't invincible, granted you had to be the Romulans, or Klingons with their cloaked ships. About twenty Warbirds IIs will take out a cube in one volley.
I did beat a cube with the Feds, I had about thirty Sovreign IIs and a whole bunch of destroyer class ships and a handful of Defiant class ships, walked out with about twenty Sovvys and not much else tho.
God I miss playing that game, I really wish an official XP patch would be released.
