Well, you would be missing the 10 dollar After Effects budget, stock Afterburn/FumeFX particles, and Michael Bay's handbook to post-processing success;

Step 1 - Shake camera arbitrarily. Always makes scenes more intense!

Step 2 - Add a lense flare over there.

Step 3 - Repeat until hardware limits are reached.

Also, lmfao @ the name "Syfy".

I can second this; I feel the same way about mostof the ships from the Clone Wars CGI series. Some, such as the Devastation, are out of whack, even by Star Wars standards.

I enjoyed B&C to the extent I'm a BSG fan having watched all of the original and revised series. The best of the bunch is the revised series unless you have some nostalgia paralysis with the original series.

BSG doesn't have enough Cannon works associated to it to really worry about. If anything a good B&C could add the proper back story and information lacking in the BSG world currently.

I have no idea if BSG online added anything as I can't get passed their ships that don't look like they belong in the universe. 

are you going to balance the cylons?

I was wondering about the (almost) total lack of projectile weapons on the Cylon side.

In the show we see that the Raiders and Heavy Raiders primarily use projectiles with missiles only use sparingly as secondaries (most of the times those were Nukes used against bigger targets).

Also the Cylon Colony was shooting mostly with KEWs, or however the Cylon equivalent is called.

Were they all converted to missiles for balancing?

Hey Z.... so that I can start planning this out, what currently exists for Cylons? i.e. are they based on Vasari in the current mod? Has anything been developed for them so far?

I think it might be nice to keep the boomer all missile, but give the Colony missile/KEW combo, to give them some further difference.

I absolutely agree on the missile-only basestars, though as I said the Raiders (especially the Heavy Raider with it's 4 "nose guns") in the show used mostly KEWs.

As for the research, maybe the combat tree can be called "Vengeance". As I understand it, the Cylons began the 2nd war because they were still out for revenge against those that enslaved them decades earlier. I know the opeing says something about them having "a plan", but that might just as well have been a way to wipe out mankind, or make sure the final five are recovered before they annihilate the Colonials.

The sub-trees could be "Wrath" (weapons), "Conviction" or "Resilience" (armor, health) and "Innovation" (new ships and abilities).

Non-combat could be called "Evolution" with the sub-trees "Faith" or "Prophecy" (culture research), "Adaption" (planetary boni, ressource extraction) and maybe "Human-Cylon Hybrids" as 3rd, wihere the Loyalists have invasive research (like the Farm) and the Rebels cooperate with mankind.

Something like the Vasari Loyalist research that gives them a bonus if they are only allied with other Vasari Loyalists would fit the Cylon Loyalists very well too. Maybe call it "Superiority" or "Unforgiven".

Cool - I agree. 

Sorry, but this sounds very "Advent" to me. I think the combat tree should be called "The Plan" or "War Machine"

Once again, very Advent. The ship-unlock subtree should be called "Model Design", weapon upgrade could be called "Armament", and I agree with your idea for durability... Resilience sounds good.

I like the idea of calling the non-combat tree "Evolution"... sounds good. hmm... not all models believed in the "one true god", so Faith may not fit. Will think about these other ones.

Z - I'm pulling together a detailed document on what I think needs to happen for the Cylons. I'm certainly not an expert like you, but I'll do my best. Should have this to you early in January.

Sweet, feel free to share when you get a chance. Don't worry if you get into Jan and don't feel it's complete. We can always refine from there if needed.

Anyone with other ideas keep brainstorming as it helps move the process along.

Besides "The Plan" I'm sure there are some other catch phrases that would make interesting research names.

"Are you Alive"

"God has a Plan"

"God is Love"

"By your command" - Was actually spoken once in TRS

"Humanity's children are returning home"

God's Will - If you would give yourself over to God's will, you'd find peace in His love like I have.

Crossbreeding Experimentation / Farms / Reproduction Research

Virtual Immortality -> Resurrection Hub

Projection - Hyper realistic day dreaming

Consciousness / Enlightenment / Reincarnation (Faith based beliefs)

Patterns - Lots of stuff around Leoben with this

Boxed Models - Increases loyalty by removing rebellious cylon models from infecting others. (reference when Galactica-Cavil threatens to box Caprica-Cavil for agreeing it was a mistake to attack humanity).

All this has happened before, and all of it will happen again!

Excellent mod, it may be my friends new second fav. (He is way more of a trekkie than whatever a BSG fan is called.) You are very good at getting a workable balance. Its not perfect, but a good player can normally get around issues. I am still trying to figure out how to play rogue, though I need R6 as R5 is outdated.

I possibly found one small glitch I thought you might want to look into, as the CL faction I could not find the tech for making phase inhibitors. I could have overlooked it. I may have seen the same missing feature a while back in one of the other factions but I can't remember which and I think it got fixed.

Thanks, A lot of people have made the mod possible over the years.

Quite possible. I'll check it out. 

Ya, I liked that one too.
