It started as a bit of harmless fun, now I'm semi addicted to this free to play game. I'm Sarge104 on Scorpia, one of the more populated servers. I dare you to try Cylon, if you do, hit me up!

Sarge104
Faction: Cylon
Wing: Soldiers of the One

I can provide some info if anyone is interested, just seeing if anyone else had tried the game.

Is that based on the original TV show or the new one?? I'm not a fan of the "rebuilt" show...

It's based on the Reboot of BSG.

@Sarge: I've created an account but won't have time to play for a spell. Though when I do, I'll look ya up.

It is loosely based on the reboot. You'll find old favorites like the war raider and the venerable Mark 2, along with more powerful escort and line ships. I do like cruising in the Basestar every once in a while :D.

I've been dealing with some health issues and a lot of work load this week so I've missed a few days of gaming. I've got to work this Saturday but I'll be on after dinner for a few hours and for some time on Sunday as well.

Will be on in an hour after this posting for anyone that is going to try the game. I strongly suggest Teamspeak, Vent, or finding whatever VOIP the wing you join is using, it makes the game that much better. The chat system is ok but not the greatest and is prone to outages.

For the Scorpia server I can get Teamspeak addresses for both Cylon and Colonial factions to make the game experiance better.

Update.

I have tried many times to log into the BGSO site to play the game. The result is the same, utter failure. I have reset my password more then once to no avail. I have also tried logging in using IE (Yuck!) and Firefox in Safe Mode. Still no joy. So I have resorted to submitting a support request. If that doesn't work, then I give up.

Sorry Sarge.

Edit: Okay somehow I found a link on SyFy's site that worked. Now my issue is the M$ Unity App that is required to play the game....


So like JPM, what gives with this M$ POS...???

There is a 64 bit unity app that you can download (http://blogs.unity3d.com/2011/07/28/unity-3-4-web-player-for-64-bit-windows/) but it is outdated, though still usable. The problem most people run into is the current unity version is 32 bit only.

Ack...!!!! What a pain. Okay but I still haven't heard anything on the potential hazards of running Unity. Maybe I'll just run it in a VM to be safe.

TBH i had never heard of this Unity stuff before you posted this. I did some light digging and as Sarge said, it's very outdated. BSG requires this? Do what you have to do to play your game i guess :p

After spending 9.5 years playing FFXI, i began playing FFXIV a couple weeks ago. My overclocked ATI HD 5870 can only maintain ~45 fps in many places while standing still on high settings. Complete failure at maximum lol

Of course when I started this thread I was excited about the new updates due for the game. In BigPoint style though, they only managed to piss off more players and its turned the popular servers into ghost towns for the lower population factions. Only saving grace is there are many more targets of opportunities to be had when I log in...:D, the new control skeem they are trying to force on players makes it very difficult on new players though and I've never seen anything below a lvl ten on the cylon side for about a week.

As for the Unity player I think they went to it due to all the different developers they have had for the game. I've counted at least five dev teams switching from germany, to the states, then back to germany. I think the coding is being held togeather by duct tape a prayers at this time.
