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.
- Runabout gun boat (PG), only playable in skirmish mode, slightly weaker than the Ju'day class
- Nova class (FF), Olympic class (FF), same specs as the Saber class
- Miranda class (DD), same specs as the Norway class

class itself gets 100 more mass to spend on weapons, the Defiant class gets 250 more mass to spend on
shields and the orientation of its primary hardpoints has been changed
- Cheyenne class (CL), same specs as the Intrepid class

slightly more powerful weapons and with better hardpoints
- Prometheus class (BB), same specs as the Heavy Sovereign class
Klingons:
- Nausicaan Frigate (FF), same specs as the Bird of Prey

classes
- D'Naren class (BC), an extra-large Ferengi warship, comparable to the Nebula class
Dominion:
- Jem'Hadar Attackship (FF), weaker shields and armor but better weapons than the Saber class
- Breen Patrol Ship (DD), same specs as the K’Vort class
- Jem’Hadar Cruiser (CL), same specs as the Intrepid class
- Breen Warship (CA), comparable to the Fek'lhr class
- Breen Command Ship (BC), comparable to the Vor'cha class

- Hutet class (BB), almost identical to the Heavy Sovereign class
Other:
- The Doomsday Machine (BB), a slow moving but very powerful monster and the Crystalline entity, a
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.

Love the graphics upgrade and the new ships. Is it possible to change something in an INI file to reset the speed and weapons power changes that were made though?
Thank you!
In the Assets/CommonSettings folder you'll find the files "PowerItems" and "WeaponItems". Change the value of "Efficiency" for an impulse engine item in "PowerItems" to change speeds, change the value of "Damage" for a weapon in "WeaponItems" to change the damage output of that weapon.
Help!
This sounds great.
After not being able to get SFC3 to work for ages, I came across this after searching online.
I did a fresh install of SFC3 from the original disk onto my HP desktop which is running the latest update of Windows 10 Home.
I then downloaded the mod and ran the update application.
The game starts and gives me the menus, but as soon as I try to launch a mission, the 'loading' screen comes up, gets stuck on the very first portion of the progress bar, and then the game crashes to desktop displaying this:

Any ideas JanB? I'm desperate to get back into this and your mod sounds fantastic!
Hmmm, try reinstalling (and by "update application" you mean the setup.exe from my mod right, not the 1.01 patch which is already included in the setup.exe, right?). This game is notoriously buggy with installations. If that doesn't help then go into the folder where you downloaded the mod and look for the "JanB Extras" folder, then inside that folder look for the "HD1610" (if you have a 16:10 resolution on your monitor), or "HD169" (if you have a 16:9 resolution) and copy the Assets/Sprites/sprites.q3 file to your game folder/Assets/Sprites. Let me know if it works.

if any of u need help with sfc3 on windows 10 "DM" me ill get back to u soon as i can i fixed the issue on my pc i had all the problems you have plus directx 9 stuff mail me on sashetrajkovskiii@gmail.com or leave a private message. I understand the frustrations
I've noticed that the mod plays fine overall, but for some reason the transporter function no longer seems to work. my compliment says i have 12 marines on board, but once i'm playing a skirmish there is no body available to beam over and infiltrate the enemy ship.
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Jaeden "Sifo Dyas" al'Raec Ruiner
I just tested it in a skirmish, I successfully captured a Borg ship with Federation marines.

Some Conquest Mode missions still have bugs in them, this shows with a load error when you start the mission, you can click on "ignore" and the mission should load. But sometimes the game just crashes when it hits bugs from the base game itself (remember the game was always quite buggy, even without any mods).

Hello Jan_B,
would it be possible to create a res mod for 2560x1440? I would like to use my monitor's native resolution. Thank you very much.
Oh, and another thing, "Oirams' SFC3 Ship Edit", any chance to making it work with your mod? It just says, I've not selected a correct SFC3 folder :(
But any help would be awesome. Take care.
In principle it's possible to get the 2560x1440 resolution, but it's not trivial. It's a 16x9 resolution so you need to have a one of the 16x9 resolutions (like 1920x1080) installed, then you need to hex edit the SFC3.exe using a program like for example HxD, at offset 6DCF (or 00006DCF) you'll find the values 80 07 (1920 in hexadecimal, backwards, also called little endian) and at 6DD8 you'll find 38 04 (1080 in hexadecimal backwards), you need to change these into 0A 00 and 05 0A respectively. Make sure you replace the characters because the total number of characters in the SFC3.exe file must stay exactly the same or the game won't run! Now open sfc.ini and set resmode=3.

When I try to launch SFC3.exe it says that mss32.dll is missing. Did I do something wrong?
OK. I probably did but it works now.

A recent Windows 10 update broke the patch, to fix it you need to get the dgVoodoo2 wrapper. When you've downloaded it, copy the following files: dgVoodoo.conf, dgVoodooCpl.exe and all the files from the x64 and x86 folders inside the MS folder into the main SFC3 folder.

Sorry, there must be an obvious answer I am overlooking. You said to copy all the files from both the x86 folder and the x64 folder, but at least one is the same exact name. Which do I keep?
Also copying those things broke SFC3 worse than before. Now it just says "Unable to find texture by index" as soon as I launch, then crashes, requiring 3x ALT+F4 to get out of it. I am thinking it was the d3d9.dll that did it, I am eliminating files one by one...

I also have this error, is there no way to get this to work on windows 10?

Jan i get same error as above, the problem is I have got the base game working through the use of the SFC launcher as posted by AlDaja
'This is a causality of running SFC3 on Windows 10. To avoid even having to deal with this frustration after installing SFC3 and the Taldren patch DON'T launch the game just yet. You will need to download and use the dgVoodoo and launcher to fix the issue (links provided). Before opening the dgVoodoo + reShade zip, disable your virus software as it will attempt to isolate and remove the necessary .dll files. This is especially true for Norton users. Open the dgVoodoo + reShade (Jan2020) zip and extract the entire contents to your SFC3 directory. Then download and place the SFC Launcher (August 2019) on your desktop and run the game for the first time through the launcher* (follow the first time using launch guide on the forum page or install instructions here: SFC3 Typhon Pact). The provided HD install package/launcher will auto-detect for future game play without having to manually set each time. If your game plays in windowed mode, simply click Alt+Enter and it will switch to full screen.'
however when i try to install the upgrade mod this error occurs, and there is no compatibility with the SFC launcher. I think my DG voodoo patch is not working, if you could provide a exact link to the correct file would maybe help some of these people out.
Thanks
Edit: Okay so I have managed to get the mod working, using this method.
Install SFC3
Install the 3.2 mod
Install our "HD & Gamespy patch" for SFC3
Install the "dgVoodo+reshade" package
However, one problem is when choosing the federation only pulse phasers are available. All the rest of the races are fine
I have tried to mod a this on both my original machine and my new laptop. On the Windows 7 machine I was able to load the mod and get it to work. I get a texture error when I attempt to load the Mod, and a blank screen without the mod with the start music. The Windows 7 machine throws the following error when I try Campaign mode for any race, but am able to use Skirmish mode.

Wanna explain why there's a trojan in your mod, Jan?
Anyone who sees this, report the post, and don't download the mod at all.
Wanna explain why you're an idiot? There is no trojan.

Thank you very much for all of your work in this. I am wondering whether you know the fix to this:
Game will only run if I lower my entire PC to 1024x768 [not a problem per se, just for diagnostic purposes]
I can open, select campaign, start campaign, buy a ship, refit, supply, review officers, navigate to first mission and run it. But when I am in it, my ship is invisible, as is the intrepid class ship I am supposed to disable. Also, the little HUD display in the upper left of the 'space' window is sort of outline-photo-negative, I cannot read any text.
Many thanks in advance.
Download contains a Trojan nice XD
mine game wouldnt even load just get the acces voilation erro
Has anyone been able to get this to run with the GoG version of the game? Once installed it started to ask to make my whole desktop into 16Bit.
Same problem. I don't know about you, but my screen isn't even capable of 16-bit, and running it in compatibility mode produces a crash.
Same, also had a virus detected in my download and also doesn't work with GOG at this time unfortunately
The virus is just the crack, that's fine. Not sure why people are freaking out about a virus, when cracks have always been detected as viruses since the dawn of antivirus.
Hi all,
Ive managed to get Starfleet Command 3 working with the All in one 3.2 upgrade mod.
Here is how ive gotten it to work.
WHAT YOU NEED
I cant post likes but this is what you need.
1.
The game from GOG
2.
dgVoodoo 2.72 (tweaked for SFCLauncher)
Can be found on hotandspicyforums
STEPS
1.
Instill the Starfleet Command 3 gog game
After the instill run it once and then exit.
2.
instill the all upgrade mod in one 3.2 files
After the instill try to run it once and then exit. it may not run at all.
3.
Copy all the files from the dgVoodoo folder into your gog folder
4.
Run from the SFC.exe in the instill folder instead of the gog launcher shortcut.
5.
Enjoy! hopefully!
Note:
If you get a message about it needing 16 bit colors then you can try
taking one of the SFC.exes from the Upgrade mods extra folders.
The 169 one worked for me on an 1920x1080 monitor.
Hard to test but I think it worked for me.
A full reinstall and fallow the main steps again might work better for you.
This is my first time im posting any kind of fix so I hope it is helpful to someone.
I have no connection to any mod just a player looking to help.

Does anyone happen to know how to fix?
This is because of a (break) model not playing well with the graphics wrapper. It's (in Assrts/Models) DominionCA_brk.mod, Ambassador_brk.mod or PlanetCrater.mod that's the culprit with these crashes. You can replace these model files with similar models (for example DominionCA_brk.mod by DominionCA.mod), but I will soon release a new version that fixes all of these crashes and adds compatibility with the GOG version of the game.
