There already is a BSG mod out there, check it out on ModDB, can't think what the name of it is off hand (Beyond the Red Line or something like that I think), but I think it is more space based combat, don't think they have any ground infantry stuff in there, but it looks really good from what I've seen of it. I also think it won a few ModDB awards for best mod last year as well. You shouldn't have trouble finding it on there.

yes TALON i tried the BtrL mod....they did do a very good job with it but it hasnt had any updates in a while not even sure if they will continue.   and also i dont always like to fly...its fun sometimes but not always.

there is also the fleet commander people talking about doing one for crysis... i was thinking sure it will look good but i cant imagine too many people playing since crysis isnt selling much and hardly any regular servers are running.

so basically i dont think anyone is in the process of making a battlestar mod based on an engine that lets you do it all the way 2142 does.  also i met resistance when suggesting anything on those other modders forums.  seems to be more enthusiasm here...and enthusiasm goes a long way.

is there ever going to be a co-op mode for First Strike? i often go on waiting for someone to join...maybe there will be more after the next patch.
