Re-rigged Odin and Mercury, Ablative armour! image - Battlestar Galactica: War of the Colonies mod for Star Wars: Empire at War: Forces of Corruption
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!
Some more progress to update you on.
I've had the Mercury and Odin classes re-rigged by Atarisulfur to give the Battlestars a more accurate armament. The Mercury has been given the correct number of turrets (30 rather than 26) and the 8 fixed bow cannons (previously the front 2 turrets fulfilled this role) as well as an increased number of flak guns. The Odin class has had the fixed turrets replaced by moveable ones and a number of flak guns added so that the secondary turrets can be used for anti-capital guns. She's also had a battery of six missile silos added to the spine for long range firepower. This is balanced out to some extent by the reduction of damaged caused by Valkyries primary and secondary batteries to reflect the fact that they are much smaller cannons than those fitted on the bigger Battlestars.
And finally, Ablative armour. The shield mechanic is going to be reworked into a sacrificial armour layer that needs to be stripped before hull and turret damage can be caused. Cosmetic changes such as removing shield effects for impacts and changing the colour of the shield bar will be implemented.
