A few notes - I have revised the point values for all ships to coincide as closely as possible with FB1 stats. Note that all the Galactica genre ships are pretty weak hull-wise for the amount of weaponry they pack. I have tried to be as true as possible to the film, to the weapon hardpoints shown, and to the fighter complements. BSG will be a game where fighters do most of the dirty work, but the big ships can close to bash each other if need be. It doesn't take long to hurt a big ship though - so the hull strength is low for the amount of mass.

I have also added back in the Hades Class Basestar - the intent was to create a less deadly version of the Styx. The Styx was intended to represent the fighter load stated on the old series, but it became very powerful with 20 flight groups. Going to 15 total groups or 90 Raiders/Prowlers brings the Basestar back into balance against a Colonial Task Force of a Battlestar and a couple of escorts.

I will be posting the Lethe class Basestar in the next few weeks to bring the Cylon fleet up to date with the new show. I figured that the Cylons would find the name appropriate, since the Colonials had all but forgotten them when the attack came. Canon may render my name obsolete in the future though...

Thank you very much! I am a big fan of both BSG an Mr.Tuffley's rules and here you've combined both so effectively. Thank you, again, very much.
