Battlestar Galactica MOD V2.0 release

[Professor_Spatula]

This is a great mod. The Galactica is a hell of a ship! It's only real weakness is against lots of annoying Zorg fighters and the Deep Space Hunters (or whatever the cloaking ships are). Once those ships decloak and you order the Galactica to attack, and then they cloak again, your Vipers stop moving and lose all their orders. You end up having to pause the game and reissue commands whenever the ships decloak. It's probably nothing you can help, but it's a little annoying. Perhaps Digital Eel themselves could change the code to make fighters not sit around and act lost whenever their target cloaks itself.

I was also surprised to see how weak the Cylon bases stars are compared to the Galactica. You can easily take out 2-3 of them with just the Galactica. If you have powerful shields, the base star can't even penetrate the shields.

Great stuff though.

I'm glad that you like the MOD. It's always great to hear how much people like your creation.

I've always been concerned about the strength, or rather lack of stregnth, of the Basestars. But since I'm trying to keep this as close to the new series as I possibly can, and there is next to no information about the Basestars, I have no idea how to beef them up realistically.

All that I do know is that the Basestars rely on their Raiders for their power. In the new series they hang back out of the fight while they launch Raiders and missiles. But as soon as they get into the fray, they are easily overpowered by a single Battlestar.

While I haven't been working on my MOD recently (damn school work, don't my profs know that I have a life outside of school?!) I have plenty of new ideas on how I can tweak the strength of the Basestars to make them more of a threat to Galactica.

But until I get a break and have some free time, that won't get done.
