Close-up of the main Railguns and Point Defense guns.

I still wanna stand by making PD flak cannons with make a 1.5km range and with smaller explosions for lag, but we might as well make the primary railguns have maybe a 10km range with larger explosions?

Up to you... just saying: canon

1.5km is just too short. Maybe 2~3 is ok.

And the guns for galactica should be 2 types. 1, 10km non-explosive for anti-ship. And 2, a flak round (like the vanilla cluster flak array) with a range of 5.

I'm also thinking of the Battle in the Ionian Nebula where the flak barrier was literally point-blank (quick flash back to Anders immediately after launch. He turns to his left and the Galactica with the barrier right beside him).

Anti-Ship: Well explosive would be nice. Refererring to another Sci-Fi show, Stargate Atlantis, the Daedalus (battlecruiser) used railgun barrage to pummel the enemy ship's hangar destroying a bunch of fighters. If it would be possible to have the shells do area damage, any launching fighters or bombers that would *normally* be a threat can be taken out leaving Vipers to either other Basestars or other fighter/bomber targets.
P.S. : Can we have a smoke trail on the anti-ship rounds like in the show? The shells look good but good isn't a word in the Galactica vocabulary.

Killerog: Is there a way to have two detonation points? Maybe at ~1.5k and another at ~2.5k? Or, if not, I'd say 2.5k and still let them have high impact damage so they can function as in-vid (tear those toasters apart!).

if you watch razer, it appears they can change the distance of the flak barrier

If I hit continue it takes me to the right selection and I can download Part 1 of the Battlestar Galactica mod but when I select Part 2, its coming up as Part 1. Any help you could give me so I could enjoy this wonderful mod would be great

We really should make this clear, as my installer did not work either.

What you do is find the program file folder for it, go to the mods, downloads. You'll find somewhere in there a .xml file for BSG Part 1 and 2. open both (in order) and copy-paste the xml into a new internet page. Download and save. When both are done combine the two folders and copy-paste the entire thing into your X3 TC Directory, and overwrite everything (I copied and pasted my entire X3 TC for a seperate install). Then just launch and play.

Make sure you choose the Mod from the startup window.

Go there, first post on top.

Nah you're totally fine. Even the thread I quoted in my quoted quote

is like 15 pages back. I had to go back 10 pages to find what I quoted. No harm no foul. I hope you can work it all out. It's a great bad.

*waits for AP conversion*

altairdarkace · Post by **altairdarkace** » Sat, 25. Feb 12, 03:32

Forgive me for being an ignorant noob, but how the Devil do I install this mod?

I've downloaded the installer, and I hit the download and install option for both part 1 AND part 2. I try to install it as a patch, again an option in there, but when I launch the game there's absolutely no "tally ho and away you go in the name of the Colonies" selection option in the new start menu, and from what I can tell there's not a single battlestar, cylon, or viper to be found in the game.

What in the world do I do to install this wonderful mod as a patch? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

altairdarkace · Post by **altairdarkace** » Sat, 25. Feb 12, 03:34

I think my question just got answered accidently lol

In which case, if that's true, my next question is, is that as a patch? If not, how the Devil do I install it as one? Thank you

Read that first, follow the instructions.
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Then: When you launch the game, (the .exe) a menu pops up. Options being
Graphic Settings
Input Device
Screenshot Folder
Select Mod Package ( <--- Choose This)
--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---
Select BSG Mod Package, highlight it, and click OK.

--- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- --- ---

Launch and enjoy

Please note the campaign for it seems to be bugged. I couldn't find Skorpion Shipyards, and there's a lot of weapon/ammo bugs. The viper Kews use like ZZ_ModUseOnly_19_3 or something like that.

If you want to actually build a force, get the Cheat Package so you can spawn new fighters/ships and load them out with the ammo their guns use.

Good luck, and enjoy.

killerog · Post by **killerog** » Tue, 28. Feb 12, 12:45

Sorry not really paid too much attention to X3 last couple weeks with car stuff and uni work, plus I was waiting for the new patch as it included a fix I needed.

Now the patch is out once I get home on wed ill start working on the mod and get a version out on either sat or Sunday

Spectre01 · Post by **Spectre01** » Tue, 28. Feb 12, 16:13

I just was gonna bump this thread up since it's been too long the last time we hear from you. Glad to see the mod is still making progress
