Star Trek Deep Space Nine: Dominion Wars

Unofficial Strategy Guide and FAQ

Released December 31, 2002

0 Introduction

This section is "about the FAQ". Feel free to skip this section.

Happy New Year. :-)

If you like the FAQ, send me $1.00. :-) See [0.3]


0.1 A word from the author

A quick browse through the gamefaq.com shows that there is no FAQ
for this Star Trek game. So here's my version.

This is a FAQ, NOT a manual. You won't learn how to play the game
with this document, and I'm NOT about to add it to ease the life
of software pirates.

This USG only covers the PC version since that's the only version
that I have (and exist, as far as I know).

Some of you may recognize my name as the editor for the XCOM and
XCOM2: TFTD FAQ's, among others.

This FAQ is dedicated to all who lost their lives in the
terrorist attacks on the US East Coast (except those terrorists,
who deserves much worse for causing all those innocent deaths).
If you find this FAQ helpful, go give blood at your local blood
donation centers or donate to your local Red Cross.

2a) In case you can't read, UNMODIFIED means just that:
UNMODIFIED. No banners, no HTML borders, no cutting up into
multiple pages to get you more banner hits, and esp. no adding

For the gamers: You are under NO obligation to send me ANY

helpful, go give blood at your local blood donation centers or
donate to your local Red Cross. And may God (whatever his name)
bless you.


0.3 Voluntary Contribution

Gamers who read this guide are under NO obligation to send me ANY
compensation.

However, a VOLUNTARY contribution of one (1) US Dollar would be
very appreciated.

If you choose to do so, please make your US$1.00 check or $1.00
worth of stamps to "Kuo-Sheng Chang", and send it to "2220 Turk
Blvd. #6, San Francisco, CA 94118 USA".

If you don't live in the US, please send me some local stamps. I
collect stamps too.

For the record, out of ALL the FAQs I wrote (33 at least count)
over the past six years, I've received exactly 7 dollars and 2
sets of stamps, as of release of this guide. So I'm NOT making
any money off these guides, folks.


0.4 How and When to Contact Me

PLEASE let me know if there's a confusing or missing remark,
mistakes, and thereof... If you find a question about this game
that is not covered in the USG, e-mail it to me at the address
specified below. I'll try to answer it and include it in the
next update.

Please do NOT write me for technical support. That is the job of
the publisher.

Please do NOT ask me to send you a list of controls, the manual,
etc. If you borrowed the game without borrowing the manual, blame
your own stupidity. If you bought the game without a manual,
blame your own stupidity. If you copied the game without copying
the manual, you're not only scum, but STUPID scum.

Please do NOT ask me to answer questions that have already
answered in this FAQ/guide. It makes you REALLY idiotic.

I will NOT answer stupid questions like the ones above unless I'm
in a really good mood. If you send questions like that, do NOT
expect a reply.

The address below is spelled out phonetically so spammers can't
use spambots on it:

Kilo-Sierra-Charlie-Hotel-Alpha-November-Golf-Seven-Seven AT
Yankee-Alpha-Hotel-Oscar-Oscar DOT Charlie-Oscar-Mike

To decipher this, simply read the first letter off each word
except for the numbers and the punctuation. This is "military
phonetics" or "aeronautical phonetics" in case you're wondering.

This document was produced on Microsoft Word 97. Some editing was
done with Editpad (editpadclassic.com).


0.5 The Author

I am just a game player who decided to write my own FAQs when the
ones I find don't cover what I want to see. Lots of people like
what I did, so I kept doing it.

XCOM, XCOM2:TFTD, Wing Commander, Wing Commander 2, Wing
Commander 3, Wing Commander 4, Privateer, Spycraft, 688(I)
Hunter/Killer. Mechwarrior 3, MW3 Expansion Pack, Mechwarrior 4,

II, DS9: The Fallen, DS9: Dominion War, Driver, and a few more.

& Schuster. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine copyrighted by Paramount
Corporation. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Dominion Wars is designed

Most information compiled in this USG has been gathered
independently through the author's efforts. If it appears similar
to tips offers in any other FAQ or guides, it is probably because
we came to the same conclusion. Some information or tidbits have
been gathered through the various DomWar forums, such as the one
on gaming.startrek.com. Thanks to all the participants, who are
too numerous to list here.


0.7 Spoiler Warning

The USG contains spoilers about all missions in STDS9: Dominion
War (hereby referred to as DomWar). Only get enough help to get
past the hump, so you don't spoil the sense of accomplishment.
