I'm wondering what mods, etc people are using for BSG games. Posting ship stats is always welcome, but how are you changing the rules to make combat more like the new series than the rules currently allow?

If you are interested in BSG style combat, you will be VERY interested in the Ravenstar Studios / Fox Miniatures fleet book that is coming out sometime in the next few months. Work is moving right along on this project, so you'll be seeing soon. In the meantime, perhaps some other people who haven't been involved in the project might have some thoughts on how to tweak the core rules to be more BSG-like.

I've noticed you mention that elsewhere - thanks.
To be honest, I'm not really excited about the idea that I need to buy a supplement to make the game work (so to speak). I was hoping to find the rules already supporting BSG-style games more readily, given your previous (BSG-focused) incarnation of Colonial Battlefleet and the notion that the rules and ship creation supports "any" sci-fi setting.
I'm curious how other folks are modding things to make CB work for BSG. How are people using Heavy Raiders? As strike fighters? What about boarders?

Look under the thread "Like Vultures to the Feast" I believe I posted the scenario, ship designs and some other bits.

The core rules support BSG style gaming currently. Just adjust the tech levels to the appropriate settings and viola BSG style gaming - including boarding actions. It will match pretty closely to what you see on the screen and be more effective at recreating that style of gaming than anything else on the market.
Buy the supplement if you want to take it to the next level with stats for pretty much every BSG-like ship miniature on the market, custom rules for cyber infiltration attacks, 9 different fighter profiles including heavy raider-like and raptor-like ships and a few other goodies.

Are the fighter rules for the Ravenstar fleetbook going to be compatible balance wise with a more "vanilla" CB do you think? I'd love to have more options for fighters in our custom games.... but.....
