BSG mod to Nexus blows my mind

[J_C]

I don't know what it the Kritical Kodex Konsensus on the Battlestar Galactica series, but even if you don't like the show, you must admit that this mod to Nexus: The Jupiter Incident looks frakking amazing!

Original BSG was meh. The remake was 99% retarded soapy shit, 1% fun space action sequences. N:TJI could've been awesome, if the story, mission setups and some tactical disbalance didn't sour the impression somewhat, but it's still my favourite space action tacsim.

The mod sounds interesting, though. Will keep an eye out for a final release. Thanks for bringing it up.

Pretty, but so what? Pew pew pew, hitpoints depleted, boom!

If you make a game about massive battleships, you better have proper structural damage

Nexus had that, or at least you could destroy the different subsystems (IIRC), so I think this one will have too.

Nexus' engine was pretty sweet, this should be interesting.

Yeah, but visually it still is "HP<25% --> skin B". I want to blow pieces off them, make holes into the hull and fly through it. If not doable, might as well stick to smaller dogfights.

Hell in space sims, you could have this level of physics and graphical candy even on latest gen consoles. :/

I know, a detailed damage modell would be great. I doubt this mod will have that, but I'm interested in it nonetheless. I'm a huge BSG fanboy.

Anyone have a download link for the latest version of the mod?

The team received a C&D letter from NBC out of the blue and as such all trace of it seems to be gone.

How can they C&D mods in the first place? It is all fair use in Europe, at least.

Klingon Academy has done it years ago. Too bad it was such a shitty game overall. I haven't seen it done in any other game, though.

Il-2 and Carmageddon 2 also have great damage models.

They're actually trying to make the a sequel to nexus btw:

Good luck with reaching that funding goal with fan donations though.
