The Ultimate Universe Mod began in January 2007 with the goal then being a multi stage development process. Chris Jones Gaming as an entity had just begun, and the team, growing by the day, was off to create one heck of a mod. The team acquired modelers, mappers, scripters, programmers, and other ‘staff’. We ended up releasing a ‘demo’ on 4/14/07 – Followed immediately by a little patch to fix a few things. Demo Patch two was released to the public on 5/21/07 after much beta testing, which included all new TOS ships from Moonraker, and a reworked single player campaign from Gamemaster, among other things. Many new missions and 1 on 1 maps added. Mindwipe provided many new sound effects and produced a very nice soundtrack for each race in the mod. Then came The Ultimate Borg, Dominion, then a full 1.0 release on 9/24/07. Stage 2 is in progress with no set release date. Stay tuned my friend.

The good news is that thanks to some great contributions by Kophjaeger, the planned release has been scaled up. But it has delayed our expected release window.

Ultimate Universe 2.3 (as we are currently calling it) is still progressing. Initially we weren't counting on a very large release. With some great contributions by Kophjaeger coming in last week, the release has grown greatly. This has the unfortunate side effect of delaying the release due to there being significantly more integration and testing, and putting me onto other duties taking me away from the other content I was preparing for release.

I think in the end anyone who plays the new release will consider it well worth the delay. It's been years since our last release and this one is shaping up to likely be our second biggest release since UU was introduced (size wise).

As we get a bit further along, I will be posting more detail on expected content. Right now it is a bit to early to detail what we will be including, but here is a picture of one of the ships expected to make an appearance.

We will also be integrating the XI Pack release into this build. There are some expected changes to the original XI release content including a notable model change.

As to "When are you releasing the update?", that will be followed by our normal, "When it is ready." response. I can't give you more than that at this time. There is a lot of work and time involved in making sure that we release the best quality content that we can. Things are progressing well, and I'm really looking forward to what this release is shaping up to be.

I know it's been a long times since some of us have worked together. But if you guys need any help working on the mod I will gladly pick it up again and offer any help where I can.

I googled this on a whim and I'm very surprised and pleased to see it still hasn't died. I've invested countless hours into Legacy thanks to UU over the years and I'm endlessly grateful for all the work you guys have put into it.

Onward to the final frontier!

just bothered downloading everything for the pc (i still have the xbox version)

I'm having a lot of fun but i'd like a canon and non canon selection on the ships as i feel scrolling constantly lol.
or maybe an option to view all the Excelsior versions for example.

Is this dead? It's been four years since the last signs of life...
