Hello everyone... sorry i'm writing this here... but i feel like its just...messed up.

Ok honestly. I start on the 1500 Milky Way Galaxy with Undine AFTER your patch with 'changes' (wich i barely could find except the acension/tradtition a bit). with 'captain' difficulty

What i saw..i still was INSTANTLY confronted with Zahl, just followed up by Krenin (not even 2 min in game and i detected both.) I thought 'fine i go a bit to west'. NOT EVEN 2 systems later i arrived borg. So expansion was just able to south. BUT. Borg instantly moved his fleet to his border, closed up his border and made me beeing stuck in a cold war face with him. He fast constructed a ship fleet of 5.800 while i tried to press out all ships i could, and only got it to a fleet of 3900.

I thought..fine i still have home bonus, as he declared war on me, BUT, no thanks, doenst helps, since his ships just remodulate and dont get any dmg while i wasnt even able to penetrate his shiels, he ♥♥♥♥♥♥ up my entire fleet and moved to my base and killed me.

i am not sure WHAT you exactly changed to make the belance better, but there is non.

I still have the issue that i start with 35 Food in Depth on startup. What makes me going to transfer ALL plattforms to just food income. What makes me go loose in consumer goods, so i transfer some to that one.

What brings down my entire production wich ihad on start also.

Its not that i didnt go all in. I sold ALL possible reassourced to spam ships with buying alloy, but as i said i was ONLY able to build 3900 while he has a fleet of 5800 just absolut immune ships.

Those wich i need to BURST with a bigger fleet to bring them down while not beeing able to build a bigger fleet cause i'm surrounded by enemies, and i'm not able to build something on my plattforms cause i have to much workers, and to less space.

Sorry i don't understand the belance, but to play undine in my opinion you need to be an absolute pro, because seriously all other fraks have way better positions. Not said Klingons with their housefleets or federation packed in absolutle friendly terretory.

Sad... but thanks for the try.
Would be cool if you could make it atelast lore comforn that borg can't remodulate to undine ships. not sure if you realized that normally ONE undine ship can blow an entire cube. Here an undine ships is not even able to kill a small ship. I don't ask for making them OP against borg or any other race, but atelast give them a chance.

Or atleast give the possibility to deactivate Borg.
I'm really loving this mod.... i love to play undine...
But they are so much in unblance in my opinion that i rather go...well play the other 'Star Trek' Mod here, where they are ...a bit OP if you dont play on higher difficulties with them.

I don't only wanna say that everything is ♥♥♥♥ without giving some hints what you maybe could do.

1. Maybe give Undine an edict vs borg or a trait? where they can be able to avoid remodulating Borg shields with remodulating their weapons?

2. Place Undine in a own Sector liek Fluidic Space? So Borg / Zahl and Krenin also have more Space for themself with one enemy less there until Spezies 8472 blows out of the rift on that position? Would it also make more lore comform since Species 8472 didnt break out of the rift and decided firstly ot build a base and go on economic tour?

3. Make Them start with a less horrible dept. 35 Food Minus is in my opinion Heavy. You need to transfer all stuff to food and than also add something on consumer goods. There are way to many unused buildings since you have 10 to 13 Work People to much, and there is no time to grow up for you since you will find yourself extremly quick in a war just producing ships.

4. if all those ways dont help, maybe fortify their homeplanet. Add defenses at the base, maybe a higher starbase level.

Its not only that youre confronted with just borg since even if youre able to hold a bit against the borg you're confronted with zahl or krenin also if they dont fight each other.

I understand Balance is a hard issue in a game with so much races.
But to be honest. there is still lots of work to do (Voth Kekw). Atleast the Mainfactions you promote (where undines are also in) should be balanced even if you dont play or like them much. at the moment i play this games hours of hours, and if youre not in mood of testing it yourself i offer my help as a player not beeing a pro and not beeing a total noob to find out if its ok or not and i promise to not make them op. But please do something... thank you...

have a great week and please stay healty
