  Still undecided on this, and I wanted to post it up here while I still remember it is an issue.

Right now, I am leaning towards option 3, but I like the others too, for different reasons.

For comparison, I put these together, but they are not perfect nor would they be final.

I think that the third option is the only one that makes real sense and is true to itself - the other two either lack the BSG mention or are redundant with the FO engine.

Thanks for the input dom.  Anyone else have an opinion?

Number 3

In my view, although I'm sure you have your reasons, 1 & 2 aren't even contenders.

Well, I kinda would like to have Fleet operations in the name, because it is for Fleetops, and I want it to have some kind of BSg related title too.  The second option is somewhat vague, because without looking at it, you wouldn't know it was bsg.  The first one is one I was going with for a while, but it seems like a really generic title to me, and my starwars mod is going to be called Star Wars: Fleet Ops, so it seems kinda silly to do them both like that. 

At this point, I am still leaning towards option 3, but It is possible I could go for 1.

i have been looking for a A2 star wars mod for weeks now and cant find one how long will it be till you release you star wars mod or is it still a huge work in progress

Well, it won't be too complicated, so it shouldn't be too much work to finish.  models are done, weapons are almost done, GUI is almost done...  The only problem is finding the time and motivation to get it done.  I'm working on the motivation thing, but finding time is getting to be more and more difficult.   I"ll see what I can do for both mods over the next week.

Why haven't you posted this on MSFC? You'll probably get more responses than here. Sometimes I think I should shut down the MSFC Modding section as so few ever post there, preferring A2Files and Fleet Ops. My sweet and tears go to waste.

I forgot.   I have been really busy, and haven't had a chance to do more than check and make quick posts.

I"ll do it right now though.

Hm, i like the third option best atleast the show was a lot more about 'survival' than about a 'fleet'.
For your star wars mod as you mentioned 'star wars fleet operations' works quite well, because that is what the battles in star wars are about in bsg battles are not about overthrowing an empire or defeat the rebels but to protect the convoy or secure resources to survive, to have enough fuel or able to withstand the next attack. So i think the third choice reflects all this.
on the other hand, what i have seen from your mod so far, it has a lot more than just one battlestar in the game. so my second choice would have been the more obvious bsg: fleet operations

Yes, third is my favorite.

Awww, don't say that. We're all just really busy atm. Plus, I'd really miss discussing awesome modding stuffs over there.

Indeed, my mod generally contains more than one or two ships for the colonials, however I think I will evolve the mod to have more BSG like objectives, such as you suggested.  I really like the idea of securing resources as that was a common goal in BSG.  Protecting the convoy would be interesting, but I think I would have to put some kind of time limit on a match, and have the game give points for the longer you kept ships alive.  Either way, I have some  ideas on how to do some of these.  Possibly have the game  jump random civi ships into the game as your base thrives.  I also think I should make the cylons main base a resurection ship.

What we really need is a replacement command that activates on the destruction of a ship so I can have a massive hulk of a ship floating in space which I can mine for resources.

Yes, third is my favorite. 

Thanks for the input terra!

Just stopping in to say "hey" now that things have slowed down a little for me. 

And of course, everyone was thinking what I was thinking, that the title should be:

"BSG: Worthy of Survival" for Fleet Operations

Then, not only does everyone know what it's about, but they also know what mod it's for!  See how awesome abbreviations are when you combine them with quotations??!!

Mal, you're such a genius!  I want to have your babies!

I know.  

And he went as quickly as he came, almost as fast as a Mossad agent...almost.

Cheers.
