why?

Its not like the PC player base is largely inclined to even own a 360. Frankly I have never been able to quite understand the appeal of a console system. To me it is like a super dumbed down PC system on training wheels. Then again the average person is pretty low on the IQ chart.

Additionally I'm not sure RDM would stop a fan project unless it is a pure for profit venture and even those would depend on scale I think. He is very supportive of the fan base and wants to keep it at a high tempo and a killer fan mod even if it is for an outdated and basically unused engine will has to that energy - all the better methinks. If it does get forced to go underground then you can bet it is the MPAA/RIAA or some other such organization of that ilk.

@Dracop - sorry brother, wrong thread. It is the link before this one.

if a game was based on bsg in it's current or the origanal config. it would have to be a video game

becouse all they do is run from fuel spot to fuel spot and kill cylons

if however you allowed them to build more ships then it would make for a good game

Will you be surprise that Starcraft was originally planed as a Warhammer40000 game? Something didn't work out and the game turned out what it was.

I cant watch the test fire videos or any videos lower dow that list from it? anyone else wit same problem?

A) A lot of games have gotten released to consoles that haven't been to PC's, because
A console is a lot harder to screwup than a computer is -- games are more stable, and there's a lot less for the end-user to worry about doing wrong (or right).

I'm just going to jump on this, because I would actually have to disagree. Speaking of 'jump', the theory behind the BSG 'Faster Than Light' system is all to do with creating a compressed warp bubble around the ship, followed by bending the 'straight line' of space so its simply a matter of 'slipping' from your start point to end point.

Now, in BSG, particularly on the Galactica itself, all the calculations have to be carefully worked out beforehand. Because of this, I put it to you that they'd be plotting between astrological bodies such as stars, planets and solar systems in general.

You also have to take into account the affect of the infamous 'Red Line'. In my mind, the easiest thing to do would be to keep the space lanes, but use the concept of 'fuel' to limit the range of the ship. For example: The more mine-able asteroids you have access to with gaseous resources, the further the 'range' of your ships. I of course, unashamedly rip this straight from Galactic Civilizations, with a little creative invention of my own.


We've seen the Battlestars in action and we know they're absolute powerhouses as far as the Cylon forces are concerned. A Battlestar WILL go one and one with a Base Star and win. Of course, the snag where the Humans are concerned is that the Cylon's own FTL technology is a lot more effecient, so they wouldn't be limited by the number of natural resources available. They'd just need to take into account resources for ship construction, with the possible strategical ramifications of sticking close to the nearest Resurrection Ship if costly reinforcements are desperately needed.

Of course, just like in the series, the possibility of the Cylon forces establishing armadas around resources that humans so desperately need to increase fuel range and therefore expand becomes a very real and crippling prospect! Epic battle ensues

I have to agree with Chromatism. It would be more "realistic".

A BSG mod would be pretty fantastic for Sins, and as someone has mentioned there are loads of models done for HW2 which could be used. For example the guys over at BSG fleet commander have done some excellent stuff, though how openb to sharing they'd be is... uncertain.

As for a setting I'd suggest that working around an alternate timeline might be best in terms of allowing the scale of conflict required to make such a mod work with Sins. In other words set it from a point whereby the Colonials discover the Cylons hacking into the new defence software and are able to stop it, (catching Baltar in the process)thus setting the stage for a large scale slug-fest between the Colonial Navy and the Cylon hordes.

Alternately you could have the game start just after the Cylon's rebellion with them holding several of the twelve Colonies and a few other planets well outside Colonial space. That way you can advance the tech-tree and ship designs from the original Cylon War Galactica style ones through to Pegasus and beyond and providing lots of lovely warfare in between.

As cool as a BSG Mod would be, does it really make sense gameplay wise?

UNless its before the first Cylon war theres only 1 Battelstar and the objective for that BattleStar isnt to go around colonizing hundreds of planets while the Cylons do the same thing.

BSG isnt an empire war, its an Empire versus a flotsam fleet.

@BT4282 - Cool. That would be nice. Just look at yourself as a pimp of Sins!

@Grim - no doubt that is why we do a reimagined BSG. It resolves any conflicts and it already has a precedence within BSG lore so all is golden to be sure.

Moreover even if we did not want to go that route we could do something like Caprica II situation.

As far as BSG mods go:

Nobody's mentioned the BSG mod for Nexus, which looks damned fantastic
