Hi Shawn,
I have updated the starship maps recently.
https://dl.dropbox.com/u/68028683/starship%20battles%20basic.zip
Total war is now a fight with all races involved inside a gas nebula where the
unseen and unexplored flags are used. The sight range is about 4 on a 20x20
map.
The triumvirate map is new, and that has the player useing all three ships
against an incoming klingon attack fleet. The base station is also gorn.
The academy briefing is in full working order. To end the briefing map, go to
the fright right. There is two units there.
The good one has a skill called "End" Use that skill, and select the second
unit on that same tile which is called "Kill this Unit". The tab key will get
you to it.
Select it, and it should "die" and the victory text comes up telling you what
ship you and your friend recive. I wasn't sure how else to do this so that is
what I did so far. If I should change that, I wouldn't mind any suggestions.
The birds of a feather map has a victory condition that allows you to kill
brutus and win...The lyrans don't have esg anymore, I changed them to straight
fusion beams cause the other weapon simply wasn't working right.
I am not sure what might be new, but all the maps should be working now.
Wow! So a full out barrage of weapons from every single ship should do the
trick against the borg? Thanks for clueing me in on that. I guess it is
possible then.
This update also has the new dev 12 change where it plays music during map
selection.
If you have any other suggestions or maps you want to see let me know. I feel
like there could be more but I have exhausted everything my own brain can cook
up, lol.
Hope it is enjoyable.

hmmm I was able to almost defeat the borg that is I was able to take
off most of his health.
using all torps from all ships that had them and esg pluss phasers of
all ships will eventually defeat borg, I always shoved all my ships
in one place, and launched all shuttles to protect ships then there
are drones which I used a lot on kasinty ships rhather then the
phasers on that one.
some maps like the gorn map have errors in them and total war just
ends before it even starts.
