Battlestar Galactica-Colonial Wars mod for Star Wars: Empire At War

Hello all. Once again I am on hand to produce the latest news on the mod. All things have gone well, and whilst a couple of suggestions fromt he forums have been taken on board only one has been implemented. The changes (which has been spoken about previously), have caused me very few problems, although I did have 6 hours of fighting with a hacker yesterday, and a serious problem with EaWfiles.com but all that aside, I am quite pleased that the mod remains completely crash free (at least on my system anyway).

The mod itself has been fully packaged but everyone who plays it will require one additional piece of software. The Mod Launcher from the aforementioned EaWfiles website. The reason for this is I've not found it to be the easiest way to run the game with a mod, so at last (as several people wanted) the mod is placed into the MODS folder. However, due to this I am not providing any further zipped versions (the mod uses an executable based installer), so this method should be the easiest available.

Anywho, I'm not waiting on the mods leader (who at this time isn't anywhere around :( ) to come online so I can pass over this version. Once testing (about 1 week) is complete then he will distribute it to sites he wishes it to go on, so stand by!!!

sorry i forgot to activate you i will now

will you add me to the new one plz.

- Colonial/Rebel side is around 90% of completion for v3.0

This mean that there is currently one major unit left to create and add for this side. The Trinity battlestar will be the most advanced unit there is, and its strictly the only one that "might be" capable of taking on Thrawns new flagship.

- Cylon/Imperial side around 75% of completion for v3.0

Currently there is still much testing but the planned chiss fighter has been implemented including a hero squadron version which is commanded by Jagged Fel (read the wookieepedia for the information).

- Zann Consortium side around 5% of completion for v3.0

With the mod solely being concentrated on for the Colonial, Cylon, Imperial and Rebel additions this side has been sorely neglected and currently means that the side is totally outmatched (in particular against the Imperil/Cylon side). Therefore, it has been decided that v4.0 will concentrate solely of the ZC and upgrade the side.

**Important**
I plan to replace many, if not all, of the stock capital ships. What this means currently is that the likes of the ISD and mon cal cruiser are in drastic need of additional wepaons emplacement and logically thinking this means that new replacements need to be added to the game. This was originally not going to be done, but because of the new venator, viceroy, ecliptic and other ships having more hardpoints than the stock it has been decided to increase the combat factor of the stock ships.

Okay so a new update. V3.0 is coming along well. The Talos and Valkyrie are both in game and the images for these can be found over on the forum. Aside from the BS Trinity the rest of the proposed rebel/colonial ships are in game. There are plenty of serious tweaks to be done, but for now, the mod is definately on target for its new release date.

opps...sorry. Lol

is this only for FoC????

It'd look cooler -.- unless its the original battlestar galactica ships which indeed did have lasers...

This mod is not about realism seeing as neither star wars or battlestar galactica are real things. If custom protectiles to make the BSG ships more canonitical to the series are added then the storyline will require re-write and considering that custom projectiles are not essential to the game or the mod then I see no reason why they are required until the end (or at all).

the mod folder is being made and tested this week
