What if the Cylons hadn't been able to hack into the Colonial defence network? What if instead of shutting down all the Battlestars with the push of a button they had instead had to fight their way through the layers of defences that had been built up over forty years of uneasy peace. This mod aims to allow you to find out for yourself. Take command of the mighty Colonial fleet or the colossal Cylon armada and fight for the Twelve Colonies!

YEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS!
The Nova-class Battlestar is coming!
I hope the Battlestar Atlantia hero will be using the Nova-class model instead of the Mercury. Actually, at the time of the outbreak of the Second Cylon War, there were three Nova-class Battlestars in service, the Atlantia and the Nova, and the Prometheus. I think a fourth was being built, said fourth Nova may have been intended to be the new Battlestar Galactica once the old Galactica was decommissioned but I guess the Second Cylon War's outbreak ensured that the old Galactica remained in service.
Nice to see the Nova finally becoming a reality for the mod.
The nova class has got some pretty impressive armaments
At least 8 super heavy turrets and at least 84 normal turrets
And since I can’t find a pic of the underneath or bow who knows what the true firepower is. This thing will be a fleet killer
The underneath probably has quite a few turrets placed there, and there's also probably a LOT of flak turrets on the darn thing... It's pretty powerful. It's Viper complement is also probably twice as large as a Mercury or Wartime Jupiter viper complement. Not to mention this thing is also a bit bigger then the Mercury class. Not surprising, considering Battlestar Atlantia is a Nova-class. The darn things were probably intended to serve as flagships...
The wiki reckons about 500 vipers so 25 squadrons
25 squadrons? Wow....
Since the Nova-class Battlestar is the most advanced and one of the most powerful Battlestar in the Colonial Fleet, I would assume it's more expensive then the Mercury-class.
Oh yeah she’s going to have to be expensive
The firepower and viper complement of almost 3 Mercury’s and the armour to match? She’ll need to be mighty expensive.
i like this mod and will love to see the Nova in action it will likely be the colonial super ship like the Hydra is for the Cylons. the Nova is awesome being a Valkyrie longer then a Mercury but having twice as many HKEW weapons that are in turrets instead of fix with two barrels each to the Mercury one. as well as having almost 3 times as many normal gun battery's ( on the prototype the actual class does have 92). and carrying 2.5 times the number of Vipers a standard Mercury has and 2.5 times as many raptors as well and having 200 launch tubes to the Jupiter and Mercury's 80. yeah i can see it having to be costly with maybe 20% longer build time 800 to a 1000 more credits and about a 10 pop cap. not a higher pop because it's not as bull as the resurrection ship(which is the stronger of the two) or hub able to call in 2 basestar at all times also i really want to see what three of them could do to a enemy fleet
When will this be in game
I still hope we will see it one day ingame!!!
