Star Blazers Mod

[Campeador]

"Star Blazers Mod: The Quest for Iscandar, Campaign 2" is up for download!
As I mentioned before it is twice as long as the first one, still is relatively short (4 to 6 hours?). If you like story telling, you are in for a treat, since you get to find out how the story ends.
I made a few changes on the mechanics on how the game play as compared to the first campaign. There were a few ideas and sugestions that I let pass before because I did not had the desire to go back and change things after it was done, but in this second campaign I did implement some.
Armor is more important than shields now. The shields are 1/2 as powerful per tonage, and the armor is double.
Items will not get experience, this is a very heavy combat mod and the "Yamato" was getting too powerful. Anyway I spent almost a month playing with it to see how things turned out, and I am pleased.
You do not need to play the first campaign to play the second part! If you lost your previous saved game, do not worry. Even thought the game continues in the same sector as part one ended, I gave the player the option to pick up the "Yamato" from the hangar at "Minerva". The only thing is that you will not have the experience. Anyway I am sure that the player will have to use the port to adjust the armor/shield relation and to pick up more fighters. I replayed the game at least a dozen times picking a new "Yamato" again and the previous experience is not necesary to beat the game. I also did it with all the stock items that came with the ship, and adding a few items to fill up the tonage.
In some sectors this game has more "celestial objects" than the previous one so the game will tend to slow down a bit, specialy with alot of asteroids, but it was not too bad. Remember that the game will pause for a second or two when the bad guys show up, so do not freak out. Another persistem problem is when a battleship blows up, the game may freeze. So, save the game before you face one of those. Reload if it happens. It is still a random thing, I still think that it is a video card/ram thing.
Have fun.
