Tell us your computer specs, and maybe we can advise you on workarounds.

1. Does The Steam Version of the game have starforce as of 2/20/11?
I'm pretty sure not. Also, any version you buy today on disc doesn't have it either.

Quote:
I hear starforce is very bad for your computor.
I never had any problems, but a great many folks did. Supposedly it sometimes thinks a game is pirated and "fixes" it by murdering your DVD/CD reader. Not to worry, though - as I said above, with the newest versions you're completely safe.

2. What (Out of 10) is your opinion of the game (I have merely watched videos , and as a big navy buff who knows everything about commanding a ship, i would give it a 7,800,456)
Out of 10? I'd give it a 9, but only because there are a few minor problems that have never been fixed, and likely never will be. That said, with the available mods the game is brilliant.

Quote:
3. The GWX mod, I read about it a billion times.
Does that contain the extended interior of The U-Boat?
No. That comes only with FlakMonkey's New Interiors mod (which is compatible with GWX), and soon with Hans Wittemann's new Type II supermod.

(was watching A lets play by Frontier and he had a diesal room & A captians Quarters & barracks, the only thing he said they didnt have was torpedo rooms but idk if its GWX or not)]
That's FM's New Interiors. It's wonderful, but it takes a lot of power and memory to run it.

Quote:
4. what other mods would you reccomend and what do they do?
Very, very many, and they do very many things. Too many to list all in one sitting.
