So, coming from this previous thread found here and from over at msfc, these final two names were chosen as favorites.  Now I just need to know which is best!

Please pick the one you like best and the winner will become the new name for the mod.

Maybe not then?   I suppose we'll see how many other good ideas come out.

wait!!!!!!! glad to see your mod is progressing well. Neither of the names seems to reflect Battlestar, or am I missing something? I realize I might be a bit late with suggestions but:(and is this targeted towards something? its the second war right? cylons never demolished the colonies?)

Fleet Operations: Beyond the Red Line (BSG FTL range reference)
Fleet Operations: Under the Wing (or something suggestive to do with Vipers, was also a song in BSG)
Fleet Operations: Final UpRising (something to do with inevitability of Cylon rebellion)

However! Since it seems you have your picks... uh can't say I'm crazy about them, would like a bit more BSG oriented, so I dunno. Broken Accords I guess, for tensions between Colonials and Cylons.

Yeah, a bit late.  I had a suggestions page open for about a week now.  If you look at the other thread there is a link to the wikipage for the Cimtar Accord.  it was mentioned in both TOS and RDM.  That is what I was going for.  I actually liked Aftermath as well as it fits my theme very well.

Broken Accord came specificly from this article on the wiki:

Cimtar is a place mentioned in the Cimtar Peace Accord, as seen in a document held by the Armistice Officer on the Armistice Station. The peace accord ended the Cylon War, and the human's automaton creations, the Cylons, left for a world to call their own. The accord was later broken by the Cylons some 40 years later (TRS: "Miniseries").

But if you have a really good suggestion then I would consider it.  I like Beyond the red line, but the "red line" is not really a factor in the game.

Well then broken accord I understand better then, as in Cylons broke that peace accord. So it works good. No worries, not really sure I would have anything better anyways. I already voted for it as well. Yeah, I liked the red line one too, but if it doesn't work doesn't work.

Beyond the Red Line sounds quite good actually Hints at many different factors in the game play imo, not just FTL.

Yeah, thats not bad.  StarBlade mentioned a couple of good ones too.  Fleet Operations: Worthy of Survival was one, and Fleet Operations: Resurrection was another.  Both are good IMO though Resurrection kinda implies s cylon mod, It can also be applied to the Colonials in this case.

I might need to re-think this whole final two thing.

I have to agree, I still feel that Battlestar needs to be in the name at least. Perhaps call it "Battlestar Operations: ####"

That's my personal thoughts anyway.

I won't post any other suggestions as I have done so on MSFC.

Beyond the Red Line is already a name of a mod for Freespace 2 anyhow.

I agree with others that Battlestar should be in the name - as someone that hasn't watched much BSG I wouldn't make the connection between some of the names and the show. Guess it depends who you're trying to attract though.

Yeah, but I have a feeling that those who don't know bsg won't really have a feeling for this mod anyway.  Hopefully the mod will speak for itself.

Why is that mal?

Fleet Operations:Galactic Battles (i also voted for Broken Accords)

Being a fan of BSG, I wouldn't even think that Fleet Operations: Aftermath or Broken Accords would be  refering to BSG. Those names could easily be referring to a Star Trek mod or any sci-fi series to be honest.

I do feel Battlestar does need to be in the name somewhere. Or Colonial or Cylon etc.
