I haven't even bothered to build the Jupiter the last few times I have played.  If anything, I think if people are going to build it, it should be nerfed with regards to cost, IMO.  I think the Jupiter is a game ender if you ask me.  The few times I  have actually built one, I have leveled it up to level 4 and jumped it in to the pirate base and let it clean it out to get it up to level 6, then ran into the enemy world and clear it out with the Nuke Barrage, long story short, I do not think it needs a buff.  Before you do anything with it, I would want to see what you have planned for the Boomer.  I have seen the Jupiter take out 15 various cylon caps at the same time and not lose too much health, so I guess with regards to balance, if that is your concern here, the Boomer would have to be tough as freaking nails, or have some nicely thought out abilities to be able to stand up to a Jupiter along with a fleet behind it.  I have never faced a Jupiter, never had the AI actually build one, at least not yet.

To sum it all up, to answer your question...  I think he has a very good point.  It is very expensive, and research takes a long time, and in the time it takes, yes you can have multiple battlestars in there.  I would say make it cheaper, or cut the research time down so it is feasable to crank them out...  but the Boomer needs to be able to equip the cylons to stand up to it, either with abilities to support a fleet, or immense firepower of its own, because once a Jupiter passes Level 6, it can to immense damage in a short amount of time.

First of all, I completely love this mod as a BSG fan.

I don't really like the Jupiter look either, it looks like 2 Galactica's glued on to eachother. Therefore I would prefer a Jupiter class ship with the Galactica mesh/texture, but then bigger and stronger than the original Galactica.If someone could tell me how I can edit the stats of the ships (especially the Galactica), then I can adjust them to my own taste.

I don't really know which file to edit and with what ...

No, several cylon CAP ship, who have ION bolt ability and bye bye Jupiter (even on 6 level).  

No, Boomer class baseship will win in 1v1 against standard battlestar 

that's becouse the AI don't make new research that was add in mod 

Jupiter is original Doom Bringer, that was redone to look more BSG

I was thinking, frigates and cruisers in the mod are way too weak; they have good guns and armor but weak hulls. I find myself only using berzerk escorts and battlestars in the game because I'm tired of constantly losing all of my smaller ships in one battle. Any opinions?

Thanks guys, it means a lot

Yeah, the frigates aren't very useful. It's somewhat intentional. Capital ships are really the focus of BSG.

would it throw off the mod's balance if you added an anti-fighter capability to the berzerk escort? It wouldn't be as powerful as a flak berzerk but it would still be able to destroy some fighters.

good news, soon we will have Boomer in game , but with templates texture   

combined anti-fighter/anti-ship seems to work well enough in SOGE.

The Galactica has missiles. They are mentioned a couple of times in the show.

SPOILER!!: In the very last episode they mention that yhey can't use missiles because the ship will be too close to the Colony to fire them without receiving the splash damage themselves.

I agree, I mean i'm sure the Galatica had missles, but from watching the show we all know they fired the auto-cannons a lot more then any type of missles, which is why it's just a minor pain for me to see all those missles flying out of the ship towards a target.

Again, still fantastic work! , but perhaps if this can be corrected, it would be awesome, if not understandable, hehe.

thanks,

You guys have to remember there are a lot of hardcoded issues, so more than often the mod creator know what the problems are.

Now concerning weapons fire.

Many of you forget, that what was coming out the turrets, ARE missiles. The problem was, you mostily see them in "dud mode", where they are simply fired and explode at a certain time/distance, releasing tons of sharpenal. When faces with many fighter craft, this is the best strategy you can vye for. (Best offense is a good defense.)

As for actually "hard missiles", there have been many times when they are shown. Most notably, and by far the perfect example, is in Exodus, where the Pegasus comes with guns blazing, taking out 1-2 basestars.

Push come to shove, flakscreen defense was often seen more IN THE SHOW, but that was only due to the fact:

A.) Galactica couldn't afford to have prolonged fights with multiple basestars, when it had civilians to protect

B.) In reality, it is easier, inexpensive, and conservative to use flakscreen defense, than wasting explosive missiles, that can be better suited for a situation, other than nukes.

So all in all, there are Galactica and Pegasus DO FIRE MISSILES
