I like it... It gets the hybrid in 

I use gimp so don't know how to do that in photoshop if that's what you're using. I can deselect the alpha layer and ensuring I keep the current invisibile pieces in place.

Sure! you always surprise me

Are you using the latest R.2 and did you fully delete the previous versions before unzipping the newest?

Here's a tutorial I already did that would apply for the alpha channel: http://forums.sinsofasolarempire.com/381494

I'll download the other hud and let you know later this evening.

 Just working on those sounds....  

It does look nice. Though it's a deviation using my new hud with the datastream. This is why I try to experiment with new ideas versus sitting with the status quo offered by others   

Something happened with this version. The image is flipped and doesn't look quite as sharp, but the hybrid is more clear. I'll try flipping the image back and see how it looks.

Apparently some overnight maintenance. All should be good now.

Neither actually. Just pointing out to those that said just use the Tech hud that things happen when you try new stuff out. And to point out that you built off my original version making it even cooler. But things have to have a starting point which is sorta the point of modding.

It's hard sometimes to express feelings when writing sometimes...

Cool.

Hmm.... I do think that the Hybrid you can see in the background when you display a planet, ship etc does look a bit odd though! i.e. seeing a head pop up on a planet! In my opinion, this area should be black or with a streaming code pattern so that you can view ships and planets properly in this window. 

I agree too. The hybrid looks out of place. The purpose of that box is to view your planets and other assets and the hybrid takes away from that. Obviously Zombies decision though! 

So is there a full blown release for this yet thats playable or no?

Cool. Have a few two I'll match up with what you find. Maybe fill in some more gaps 

Thanks big help! not being sarcastic i swear

Are you talking about the active ability or the passive?

The Flak burst mitigates damage taken from other ships in fights.  Since in the BSG universe, there aren't any shields, this was put in place to make it more realistic, and it plays a large difference in how long ships survive,  try tweaking the files and set that to zero.  You die a lot faster.

The active flak ability on some of the ships that you can activate just causes damage to the fighters around your ship.

@jason8648776 - I think you may be suffering from a bit of Sot13t nostalgia. I'm just not sure how you rate the ship classifications as bad even in the current form. Bear in mind this mod is NOT a total conversion like Sot13t and in fact at this point is a complete reboot of BSG in sins and meant to balance with the stock races ultimately. 

Also note: I'm releasing this mod in various stages so people can give constructive feedback and help. Mord_Sith84 is correct in that simply posting it's bad without suggestions for specifically how to improve doesn't help and ends up just being ignored. 

Please do participate in the discussion, just follow some of the guidelines re-iterated by Mord_Sith84 which basically boils down to make specific suggestions in terms of how to improve the mod. It helps a lot when I document peoples ideas and look to integrate them down the road. 

The slate is clean so to speak with mostly filler abilities, rough balance and stock research trees between the two BSG factions. My primary goal with the previous release for Colonial and the next release for Cylon is to have the art assets in place. Lots of technical stuff being done right now before we can start on the feel of the races that ultimately present themselves in their balance, abilities and research.

@Mord_Sith84 and Daeican - Thanks for the responses. I really am relying on you guys that help here to get this mod completed. Don't get offended if I push back on some things I either feel are or aren't important. I'm like everyone else here with my own ideas on this but am easily influenced when specific mod suggestions are made. 

I'm ok if you want to complain about something too, just don't be offended if I respond back in my own way.   I actually do like the banter if your willing to play along.
