Please find within the folder: A copy of STA3: The Final Frontier, a ready-made enabledmods.txt, a copy of Large Address Aware, a readme for STA3 and a copy of STA3's Galaxy Forge. We truly hope you'll have as much fun playing as we have developing the mod!

Thanks so much to everyone who downloads. We will continue supporting the game as new patches are released and will support community sub-mods if you submit them to us. If you've loved our work on STA3, please follow us on our new project: Star Trek: Infinities for Stellaris (link provided below)





Moddb.com

We've included a copy of our Galaxy Forge in the download so you can get on with making your own beautiful and unique maps to play. If they're great, consider submitting them to us! We'll host them in the addons section for you so others can enjoy your hard work. You can do this by sending them to cmenheneott@googlemail.com and I'll take a look at them and pop the addon in there for you.





You have been, and always will be, our friends.
