This is my shot at making a decent expansion for Star Trek Starfleet Command 3. As a whole the mod
adds 3 new empires and ships from 10 new cultures, several new missions and skirmish scripts, overall
faster gameplay, and much improved graphics. In addition the game now supports widescreen
resolutions and is compatible with Windows 8.1 and Windows 10. I hope you enjoy it.
--------------------------
INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS
--------------------------
1) Have the base version (1.0 or 1.1) of Starfleet Command 3 installed
2) Run SFC3 Upgrade Mod 3.2 Setup.exe, this installer will automatically take care of all necessary
patching and set the game to your dekstop's resolution.
3) Enjoy!
NOTE: This mod will overwrite you customloadout file, be sure to back your custom ships up, write
their configs down and you can add them after the mod is installed.
------------------------------------------------
CHANGES/ADDITIONS (over all versions of the mod)
------------------------------------------------
1) All weapons are 50% more powerful, Borg weapons are only 40% more powerful, to make the game
more balanced.
2) All Federation, Klingon and Romulan engines are 25% faster, Borg impulse engines are between
13% (types I through VII) and 25% faster (types VII through X).
3) Almost all stock ships and stations have greatly improved textures and/or models.
4) Ships and stations are easier to hit, especially the smaller ones (it should give large ships a better
chance against "mosquito attacks" but really doesn't upset game balance too much).
5) Conquest mode now features a variety of new missions, some done by The Pelikan and El-Karnak,
some made by myself, the casino mission has been removed from conquest mode.
6) The Dominion, Cardassians and Ferengi are added as non-playable races: you will encounter them
during conquest mode on the new 7 races map and their ships are playable in skirmish mode.
7) In conquest mode alliances will be fixed and set up as follows: relations between the stock races will
remain the same as in the original game, the Cardassians are allied to the Romulans and Ferengi and
hostile to everyone else. The Dominion are allied to the Ferengi and hostile to everyone else, the
Ferengi are allied to everyone except the Borg, don't trust the Ferengi though: when they're in your
fleet you'll never know which side they will choose in battles, unless you're fighting the Borg. All
empires except the Ferengi and the Borg have access to starship classes from allied medium or minor
powers.
8) All races have their own shuttles.
9) Most of the planets and space backgrounds (nebulas, etc...) have new high-res textures (a
combination of designs by Xeryx and myself).
10) Pulse phasers, photon, gravitmetric and quantum torpedoes have new textures and sounds, disruptors, cutting beams, tachyon pulses and tractor beams have new textures.
11) Shields are blue now, but will turn red when almost depleted.
12) Fleets in conquest mode can now hold up to three ships of any hull class, even battleships.
13) Assaulting bases and planets will now turn those sectors over to your side more quickly.
14) You will now start conquest mode in a ship with a full equipment loadout, of the same class as in the original game.
15) Sensor ranges of all bridge computer types have been increased.
16) Phasers and Romulan disruptors are thinner.
17) Shields regenerate more quickly.
18) Freighters now have better phasers and hull armor.
19) All battleships (BB) now come with a full equipment loadout and fully stocked with shuttles, mines and marines.
20) AI ships with full equipment loadouts will now cross your path from time to time in conquest mode.
21) I've added some more escort ships in the impossible (in the patched version of the game anyway) mission "Elusive Quarry" to make it beatable. This script does not require my mod, so anyone can use it.
22) Waiting time before conquest mode missions has been reduced.
23) Officers can now take more damage.
24) Ships in campaigns can now travel 2 hexes in one move.
25) Borg armour has been reduced by 10%, to make the game more balanced.
26) The campaign help menu now has entries on the Dominion, Cardassian Union, Ferengi Alliance
and neutral space.
27) In the story campaigns the period before you're forcibly moved to the hex of your next mission has
been increased.
28) In the skirmish menu the game points limit is now set to a default value of 999999 instead of
65000.
29) The Klingons get an extra mass 400 primary weapon, the "Beam Disruptor". It has a much slower
firing rate but does a lot more damage, especially at long ranges than the Disruptor IVF. It is also slightly more accurate.
30) The Romulans get an extra mass 400 primary weapon, the "Bolt Disruptor". It does more damage,
but has a slower firing rate than the R-Disruptor IVF. It is also slightly less accurate.
31) The slow phasers have been turned into blue Dominion polaron beams, these have the same firing
rate and weapon stats as their corresponding phaser type.
32) Dominion ships and stations now have their own "controlling empire" race logo.
33) Ships will now pass through planets instead of colliding with them.
34) Freighters of all races are now playable in skirmish.
35) The following ships will be added:
Federation:
- Ju'day class corvette (FS), more widely known as the raider used by the Maquis, slightly weaker than
the Saber class. It is only playable in skirmish mode, but you will encounter raiders crewed by pirates
in conquest mode.

- Nova class (FF), Olympic class (FF), same specs as the Saber class
- Miranda class (DD), same specs as the Norway class

weaker but more agile monster with 360 degree firing arcs. These monsters are only playable in
skirmish mode but will make an appearance as a monster in conquest mode where they will replace the
stock monster on a random basis.
-The Pyramid Prime has been replaced by the Probe (as seen on ST Voyager), but enough references to
the Pyramid Prime have been left in the spec files to avoid problems with scripted missions.
- Species 8472 Scout (DD) and Species 8472 Bioship (BB) are playable in skirmish mode and can be
encountered in conquest mode by Borg players.
NOTES:
- In skirmish mode Breen and Nausicaan ships are availabe under the Klingon race slot, all Jem'Hadar,
Cardassian, Gorn, Nyberrite, Pirate, Rakellian, Son'a and Ferengi ships are available under the
Federation's race slot while Tholian and Tzenkethi ships are available under the Romulan race slot and
the Crystalline Entity, Doomsday Machine and Species 8472 ships are available under the Borg slot.
- All races have the stations they need to make conquest mode run smoothly.
36) Changed/new missions:
- Campaign:
Surprised Reversed: same as the original, but Dominion, Cardassian and Ferengi fleets can now be encountered.
Convoy Escort: protect a convoy from attackers, there doesn't have to be convoy in your hex on the
map for this mission to show up
Distress Call/Emergency: a ship of your empire, less or equally powerful powerful as your own ship
(but it also depends on the difficulty setting) is under attack by enemy ships who, together, are twice as
powerful as the distressed ship, usually that means two ships of the same hullclass, but with pirates or
Rakellians it could be more than two ships. The Dominion, Ferengi and Cardassians are all possible
attackers.
Scan: same as before, but now all of your enemies can attack your ship, the strength of the attackers
depends on your ship's hullclass and the difficulty setting, scan range is increased to 30.
Resistance: your territory is invaded by Species 8472 when playing as Borg, when playing as other
races the Borg are the invaders.
Intruder Alert: there are now three variations of this mission. One is the original mission, the other ones
features the Doomsday Machine or Crystalline Entity as monsters.
Convoy Assault: now also features Dominion, Ferengi and Cardassian convoys.
Shipyard Assualt: now correctly features Dominion, Cardassian and Ferengi shipyards and defenders.
Light Patrol: you will face ~3 enemy ships, enemy team strength is based on your ship's hullclass and
the difficulty setting, you will also be assigned AI helper ships.
Heavy Patrol: same as counter punch patrol but now you face ~6 enemy ships.
Base Attack: same as before but with AI helper ships for the player, depending on the difficulty setting.
Planetary Attack: now also features AI helper ships.
Banzai: several waves of Jem’Hadar Attackships attack one of your outposts, stand your ground.
Seek & Destroy: you are tasked with destroying an enemy battleship rampaging through the region.
The enemy battleship will be escorted by two frigates. You will be assigned AI helper ships, their
numbers and hullclasses depend on your own hullclass and the difficulty setting. You will be severely
outgunned unless you are flying a battleship of your own, but staying right on top of the battleship, in
its "blind spot" gives you a fair chance of success. The Borg Cube cannot be encountered in this
mission (it's too powerful and has too many wide firing arcs).
Additional missions (by El-Karnak and The Pelican) are: Scout, The Neutral Zone, Pirate Raid, Routine
Patrol and Hostile Territory.
- Multiplayer/Skirmish:
Base Assault: when no defending race is specified, defenders will be Dominion, Cardassian, Ferengi or
Pirates with their corresponding starbase (Ferengi starbase for Pirates).
Wolf 359: AI helper ships now belong to the fleet race, instead of always the Federation, if the fleet
race is Borg the helper ships will be from Species 8472, if no fleet race is specified the fleet will consist
of Federation ships that were around in the 2360s.
DS9 Assault: Similar to Base Assault, only now the starbase is Deep Space 9 itself. Defenders will be
assisted by a small Federation fleet, attackers get AI helper ships from their own race, if the attacking
race is Federation the helper ships will be Dominion, if no attacking race is specified the attacking fleet
will consist of Jem'Hadar, Breen and Cardassian ships (Dominion War-style).
Fleetpick: use the Fleetpick utility to play as any ship or station in the game and have up to 6v8 battles.
Spawn: use the Spawn utility to fight endless waves of enemy ships.
Free For All Double: same as regular Free For All, but with one twist: every ship is cloned so you can
have up to 12 ships in a game.
Free For All Triple: every ship is now cloned twice so you can have up to 18 ships in a game.
