[Idea] The Battlestar Galactica overhaul mod.

[Hurikane211]

Hello all! Long time player, and lurker of the forums here. While I love a lot of the mods that get put on here, there seems to be one that consistently evades creation for some reason. Now I don't really know a whole lot about modding, but I would love to help someone(s) put together a complete overhaul of the game that makes it into the style of Battle Star Galactica. I am an avid fan of the series, and FTL seems as though it would lend it self perfectly to a mod like this. The Rebel fleet can be replaced by Cylon ships (drones already look like Raiders), there are plenty of different human ships from the series that could be added and most of the events almost write themselves. Having multiple races clashes with the BSG cannon a bit, but I even have a few ideas as to how that could be remedied. I would love to make the mod myself, but again I know almost nothing about it. If anyone would like to collaborate on this, that would be awesome. Thanks for your time.

I have no thoughts as to the rest of the post, but the simplest idea would be to use the various races as specializations. Basically, similar graphics, and the names (and descriptions) clearly indicate that they are of the same race, but they have different stats.

Or make Humans Humans and cylons the significant 7.

Those are both great ideas actually. I was thinking of the ole "worm hole sucked both fleets into a different universe" deal. But seriously people, I want to make this happen. I can write dialogue/event text and come up with ideas all day, but I have no idea how to implement them effectively. I know I can't be the only person who sees the potential here!
