Re: My Version of BSG Hero Well there would be the frigates and fast attack cruisers plus the refinery and mining ships required.

Re: My Version of BSG Hero It's pretty easy to figure out once you get it and play around with it. You can find it at http://www.openrpg.com .

Re: My Version of BSG Hero Great I would appreciate it. You're more then welcom to join my campaign once I get it going. We'll be using OpenRPG to play it.

Re: My Version of BSG Hero You're most welcome and that's where I got my information from. If you'd like to work together on this project I'd welcome the help. Right now I'm working on the capital ships like basestars and battlestars. About the only thing I really need to finish it up is the escorts and new combat ships if you'd be interested.

Re: My Version of BSG Hero Try this page for information since it's very canonical and well sourced. http://www.battlestarwiki.org/en/index.php Scroll down to the Colonials for the new series and check out all the ships mentioned. Also check out what RDM had to say about Battlestar Groups since he makes it clear a battlestar is supported by tankers and combat escorts.

Re: My Version of BSG Hero Thank ya for the kind words Vanguard because I appreciate it. I'd have to think about hosting up the hdc files, but I do plan on putting up the finished book. I'm like you in that I love the improvements they made to BSG in the new series. As for your battlestar, you could always classify it as a Mercury class since the stats for them haven't been released yet. A little creativity doesn't hurt and I like it when people make up new plausible ships for the setting. What we see on screen isn't a true indication of what the Colonial Military had before the Holocaust so new additions to the line up of ships are welcome. According to RDM BSG=Battlestar Group based around the US's current carrier groups. Frigates and other classes must exist in order to make it fit with the current US Navy's carrier groups.

Re: How do I introduce HERO to a potential new player? I would walk them through the character creation process first then run him through a scenario. While I was working with him on his character I would get him to understand the fundamental basis of Hero System which is everything is a special effect.

Re: Comparing starship speeds. My apologies and I fixed it.

Re: Super cities Actually the treaty would only apply to federal territory and possessions which leaves out the several states. Only the states have sole jurisdiction on what happens within their borders.

Re: Super cities The UN has no jurisdiction within the borders of the several states and the Constitution doesn't recognize the UN as being a superior government.

Re: Super cities Which is a major violation of the Constitution.

Re: Super cities The only problem with this idea is that the UN has no jurisdiction within the United States, unless you drastically change the law of your world.

Re: Comparing starship speeds. Galactica would win in my opinion. Cain doesn't have a fleet of ships to back her up while Adama does. Granted the ships in the fleet are civilian but they are armed, for the most part, and could lash out with a few weapons before being destroyed. The other thing is that the Pegasus lacks nukes while the Galactica has 3 nukes left. Spoiler Warning At the end of the season 2.5's first episode Cain was killed not by Starbuck and Adama wasn't killed by Cain's marines. The person who killed Cain was Gina that Gaius helped to escape from Pegasus' brig by distracting the guard.

Re: My Version of BSG Hero Here's a small update on BSG Hero. Pretty much everything has been done for Cylons, Colonials, and their respective ships. I haven't put in the capital ships yet as that will be my next step for this project. A friend of mine is writing up the equipment to be used by both sides ranging from drugs to weapons. Let me know what you think of the changes. I changed the file format from being a Word file to a pdf file.

Re: Comparing starship speeds. Well I'm wrong on this so accept my apologies for the inaccuracte statements. Their FTL drives use wormholes based off of Superstring and M-Theory which make it instaneous jumps. Time for me to go back into my BSG Hero and change how the drives work.

Re: Comparing starship speeds.

Re: My Version of BSG Hero Thank you and I'll be posting up the final version of the book when it's finished. Right now I've added the Cylon Centurion and Autonomous Raider to it and working on the Cylon Heavy Raider. I'm thinking of just setting up a base points for the humano-cylons to give the GM greater flexibility since they don't have any set skills or packages. It would also add a lot of unpredictability to them to make the players more edgy.

Hello everyone, I'm a long time Champions/Hero System player/gm and I've been working hard on a BSG campaign setting based upon the reimaged series. Battlestar Galactica Wiki has been an invaluable resource for this project. This is what I've gotten done so far and I'm planning on adding a lot more packages for the Colonial Military. Let me know what you think of what I've gotten done so far.
