Battlestar Galactica Deadlock coming this summer!

[RyanE]

I hadn't heard of the HW BSG mod, that I can remember.  Will have to begin research.

[RyanE]

Just did some furious googling...it looks like the HW BSG mod is dead for the remastered HW.  I saw a bunch of people complaining of a dead forum and then on Steam there was a post with a cease and desist order from NBC on any BSG-related content.

This is the mod for the original Homeworld 2 http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=406249773 ( Battlestar Galactica: Fleet Commander - Classic HW2 )

Unfortunately I can't get the game to run on my PC anymore, only the remastered versions run.


There is also a sort of mod (standalone game based on Freespace 2 Open) : http://diaspora.hard-light.net/index.html

Diaspora is a single and multiplayer space fighter combat game set in the reimagined Battlestar Galactica universe.

What ships can I fly?

Both Vipers will be available to fly. As will the Raptor, Cylon Raider, Blackbird and several other fighters from the BSG Universe.

And the Galactica?

No. You can't fly the Galactica. Wrong style of game. We'd rather concentrate on trying to make the best fighter game possible than try to do everything and spread ourselves too thin. There are other RTS mods and games who can do a much better job of that than we could.

You will of course be able to fly around the Galactica, launch from it and land on it.

So it looks like this might be on supported and functioning BSG fleet game.  I would love to play BSG in the HW remastered engine.  That's too bad.

from digging around the Steam forums it would seem that the BSG mod does work for HW2.  the mod devs have also given some pointers on how to work around certain problems for those that are having issues launching the game.
while it would be great if they would get to the remastered version I dont have a problem using HW2 classic.  the games graphics still hold up as does the 3d game play.

The mod works for HW2 but many people have throuble running HW2 (even without any mods).  Like me they get a CTD at startup.

If this soundtrack is actually in the game, it just became a "must-buy" for me...

From the lets play previews, it certianly sounds like it is the soundtrack for the full game.  I'm not sure if it's actually Bear McCreary's compositions, but it sounds awfully close.

[Destraex]

Bear McCreary's reimagined BSG soundtrack had a very homeworld feel to it. Which is probably why I liked that series so much. Apart from some of the best if not the best sci-fi ship to ship combat I have ever seen.

Hmm...I might be interested.

I might not have the most muscular machine so I might wait a bit.
