WELL AFTER MUCH A DO WITH OUR PR DEPT WE FINALLY GOT THE FILES MIRRORED HERE AT MOD DB FOR PEOPLE TO FINALLY DOWNLOAD AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS. OUR APOLOGISE IN THE DELAY IN ADDING THEM HERE.
This has been, and will continue to be, a wild ride.
On to the nitty gritty. You can select which directory to install the mod into, although I have set it to the default Legacy directory. This installer puts all the files in the proper places inside your Legacy Game. It is recommended that you have a brand new install of Legacy for this mod. That install should include Official Patch 1.2 for Multiplayer. If you wish to see the correct chunking of nacelles and such things when they are blown off your ship, you can only do this in single player in an unpatched game. Note that this mod DOES work well in an unpatched version of Legacy.
The Official Game Patches are NOT included here, so you can play the mod as you please. The Ultimate Universe is fully Multiplayer compatible. We have found that using a program called Hamachi Hamachi.cc helps when connecting for Multiplayer.
There are 6 playable races in Single Player Mode. Cardassian and Vulcan are selectable in addition to the original four.
Multiplayer races are: Federation - Klingon - Romulan - Cardassian.
The menus are different and less laggy, as you might notice, good for low end PC's.
