Update 11.2.3 Delta Expansion

Written by  on January 24, 2023

Patch Notes for Update 11.2.3:

New BORG Ship Classes

  • There are now two new dangerous robot Borg classes.
  • These are non-playable classes, and they can be encountered in Delta Quadrant. Reminder: you can view another ship’s specifications in-game with the “&[shipletter]” command.
  • Take care when approaching the new Borg robots; They can deal a tremendous amount of damage. I suggest experimenting with a throwaway before risking your high gold ships.

Delta Quadrant Economy

  • Starbases in Delta will NOT award gold for Dmage Given.
  • The game will continue to track your score as if you had never docked, and you will receive the full gold balance owed upon docking at a base in another quadrant.

Player Fleet-Scoreboard

  • Adjusted the function of the in-game “Your Fleet” page, seen when you log out.
  • The Fleet page will now display a player’s entire fleet, up to 200 ships.

Upcoming Changes

  • This update is part 2 of 3.
  • In part 3, further adjustments will be made, including fine-tuning of the bots and Delta Quadrant layout.

Patch Notes for Update 11.2.1:

New Delta Quadrant Layout

  • A larger Delta Quadrant layout has been added.
  • To see the new layout for yourself, jump into one of the Borg ship classes or find object “Z” in the Alpha quadrant.
  • A fast ship is recommended for navigating the vast distances between starbases.

Intrepid Class

  • The Intrepid class now spawns in the Alpha quadrant.

Upcoming Changes

  • This update is part 1 of 3.
  • In parts 2 and 3, further adjustments will be made, including new bots and economy changes specific to the Delta quadrant.

Special Thanks

Special thanks to Pete for his contributions in designing and testing this expansion. Without his creative inputs, the Delta quadrant would not have been as expansive and detailed as it is now.

New Server: javatrek.org port 1764

Written by  on January 8, 2023

There is now a new second instance of the game!

Go to http://mtrek.com/javatrek-org-port-1764/ for more information, or join the game via:

TELNET javatrek.org 1764

The port 1764 game hosts a somewhat less-modified fork of the JavaTrek engine. It has only the standard Multi-Trek and JavaTrek ships that were available from 1994-2012. There are fewer bots, and future plans include adding some tutorial-type features to help players (re)familiarize themselves with the game.
