Star Trek: Armada III begins with the first stirrings of the Dominion War and allows players to take command of five unique factions, the United Federation of Planets, the Klingon Empire, the Romulan Star Empire, the Cardassian Union/Dominion Alliance, and the Borg Collective. Explore strange new worlds, seek out new life and new civilizations, and boldly go where no one has gone before.

Description

My friends ... the time has come to boldly push back against the relentless advance of the Dominion and all others who would wish to extinguish the light of the Federation. We know that such foes fervently desire to destroy your way of life, to lay waste to the entirety of the Alpha Quadrant! Will you stand idly by as freedom dies? Or ... will you join me once again, in the desperate fight to preserve the peace that we have worked so hard to achieve? >>> Read on for installation >>>

LAA = Large Address Aware

AtlantaSS - - 115 comments

Just in case you don't know how to apply the LAA or messed up with your installation, take a look of this (with permission of OrionSlaver):

"Most likely you're experiencing the extremely common problem of not having LAA applied.

Sins is an old game that only utilises a maximum of 2GB of RAM. The Armada 3 mod adds a significant amount of content and requires more than 2GB of RAM to run. Whenever it passes the 2GB limit (usually after 15-20 minutes of gameplay) the game's engine can't handle it and crashes.

This is fixed with Large Address Aware, which allows Sins to break the 2GB boundary.

First, find your Sins.exe, located by default here:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\sins of a solar empire rebellion

The relevant file is simply called 'Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion'. This is your Sins.exe. Right click, go into Properties and ensure that the .exe is NOT set to Read Only.

Then go to wherever you're keeping your CTA files and open the program called Large Address Aware.

Browse and select your Sins.exe mentioned above. Tick the box indicating that yes, you want the game to access more than 2GB of memory, and click 'Save'.

Start the game.

The whole process should take you roughly two minutes."

-Originally written by OrionSlaver.-

Remember too.. we already have a GREAT video tutorial from Gul-Dukat that it will help for a correct installation:

CTA = Call To Arms.

That's the mod for the Sins of a Solar Empire and the latest released version is 1.3, allowing you to full transform it in a Star Trek game.
Developers are working on a new release that will be called The Final Frontier (or TFF), adding new features and fixing some others.

You have to start as Cardassians and they can build the Dominion ships once they joined the Dominion via tech.

I both love and hate this latest update (1.3) and you guys! ;) First game testing out the UFP, and I have the Romulans and Cardassians pinned playing Raptors wings (R). Had a few Damaged Bioships and an occasional Probe venture out from the sun into my newly expanded forward operating bases. all good, nothing to worry about. get system being attacked message from my border planet about 4 jumps from my main fleet.. zoom to map to find a F***ing Borg cube pounding my planet! send entire main fleet post haste. fleet warps in (Enterprise E,Defiant,Voyager,an Ambassador class all lv5+ and 40+ frigates,cruisers). just got the cube to about half health when, the Crystalline Entity jumps into same system and proceeds to negate half my fleet.. Since I survived that, it has been an constant steady stream of Probes,Bios,Cubes,Entities to the point where I leave my first fleet nearby, with every system having a Starbase with no loss of planet control. I LOVE THIS MOD!! :D Ps. Now to go back to my favourite race "Klingons" and ramp up the difficulty! ;) Pps. thanks for your tireless efforts and superb work to the whole Dev team. Live long and prosper.

Nice pic, the moment when that Dominion ship buried itself inside the Odyssey's deflector had to be one of the biggest "oh ****" moments of the entire series.

Pick Cardassians, in their research tree you can become Dominion Alliance or Cardassian Union, I haven't played in a while but I believe its in their defensive tree. All the dominion ship and weapon research is in this tree too.

Hey there. Epic mod. I still got a question.

Is STA_3 1.3 still compatible with the AddOn 2nd_dreadnaught? I do not want to provoke my PC to crash because of resulting bugs.

Is is compatible or does the AddOn need to be updated?

Thx.

1.83 is not officially released yet, it is only an opt-in right now. We will be updating Armada III to 1.83 when it is released officially. But for now, it will only work with 1.82.

Thanks for clarifying that. Yes, I have the 1.83 version as well, also obtained from gog.com, and it crashes as soon as I try to load it with the mod enabled. Crashes on the splash screen.

I ran the Dev version and the last debug message I got was:

Failed to Read File 'C:\Users\Owner\Documents\My Games\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire Rebellion\Mods-Rebellion v1.83 Dev \star-trek-armada-3 \GameInfo\PlayerBajoran.entity' . desired read bytes = 7274572, actual read bytes = 1970.

Which is funny, because the actual size of that file on my system is 33,597 bytes.

It would be helpful if the required version would be listed in the install instructions above.

In any case, thanks for the mod!
