Topic: Is there a mod out there....

[KHH Jakle]

...that is a carbon copy of FS OP+, but also has fighters/PF's for all races?

I know the GW3 is built off of OP+ and has fighters/PF's for all - but doesn't it also tweak some other ships (Drone-chunking Klink Carriers for instance?)

I believe DH may be working on one for SGODEV.

As far as I know there's not an exact copy of OP+ with ftrs and PFs for all. If you haven't tried this though, you might like it. There's lots of extra ships, etc...

I also accept input if you have any particular suggestions on improvements.

Yup, I will be releasing something soon after GW3.  it is a Mod of OP+, a mod of a mod.

But is it just OP+.....+?

It's important, because I'd like to dump it on the GZ crowd.  An important part of that will be that it is what they are already using - plus some extras.  The other important part is that it is packaged in an installer

As a side note - if you are SFB-izing the fighters, that's ok too.

IMHO, OP+ is stock.  Everyone has it and its model structure adds som much to the game that if you are making a mod, use it.  Just ask FS's permission and don't try to steal the name 

It will be OP+ with more SFB and ships "Inspired by SFB" thrown in.  Those "inspired by" ships can/should be omitted from ladder play as BPVs will have some guess work.  I am making a few other modifications such as tweaking the X-ships so they play nicer with GW era vessels.

The Fighter list will be based off of SFB.   Previous version shas the full fighter loadouts, I've gone back to the Taldren 2/3 model.

Question, if so few people in GZ use carriers or tenders, why really worry about it?   The stuff I'm adding is for flavoring a campaign, not balanced ladder play.

Lets just say I am planning for Cycle 4.  PBR might show carriers/PF Tenders in a different light, stimulating increased use.  I almost think some of the Fighter Races might take carriers just to get the damn escorts (AD5/NAC).

If that's the case, then I'd like to be prepared to make fighters/pf's available to all.

I agree, that replacing the fighters and bringing in untested new ships might be tricky...but I can't stand to sit stagnant.

Good point, maybe do a short cycle to test?

We'll do something -

Quite a while back we used fighters in GZ...was a load of fun.  Not sure why it died over the years.

What models do you use in this Rod?
