Crossing New BSG with sw. What sort of issues do you see?

garhkal

Other than the issues of space combat (do the cylons/clonials weapons stand a chance of hurting a SW ship with shields) what other sort of issues do you see potentially coming up if you crossed battlestar galactica with SW?

Updated seems to be more based on modern tech with a few advances. (Just the way it seems.)

So Retro would be intresting, non retro would be a walkover

Depending on whether you want to do everything from scratch or what a place to start, it might be worth taking a look at the D6Holocron site, they already have pages of conversion/crossover material including for the BSG reimagined series:

Well, BSG weapons are ballistic in nature, so I'd think that yould need to decide if shields would work or if you would treat the rounds as able to bypass them. The jump drives could be interesting in that there doesn't seem to be acceleration for BSG jumps, more like
a fold situation which the do use at one point to enter high atmo. I'd think that the plotting of jumps would take longer and I doubt a craft could be piggy backed.
As to ship killers, the nukes seem to do big damage but they're dirty, irradiating areas, so you would need to have that play in as well.

Would you be using the flesh coats as well, or just toasters? Also, how would they view droids, and droids them?

There was a conversion guide for D6/Traveller a while ago, but I couldn't find it any more, the most I could come up with was a site through the wayback machine:

And for other D6 conversions I found this, I can't speak for all the links on here, but it's interesting stuff:

Which looks like it's also duped here:

Indeed. It looks like some of the links are broken, but that's to be expected, I suppose.

Looks like there's another SW RPG forum out there called The Star Wars Roleplaying Club, which is still active.

glad to see that some are looking at what i put up on the D6Holocron.

i did the newer conversion for the holocron, i left the older stuff from rpggamer.org up because it had some stuff from the old BSG.

i used the rpg source books that i could find for the conversions. i left out some of the more technical stuff as it made things more complicated and i felt it would over burden games. such as the human FTL drives could make a maximum of a 30 light year jump which iirc is quoted as being "beyond the red line" but more common jumps were the 3-5 light year jumps with maximum safety limit being at 15 light years. where after each jump a new astrogation check is required to confirm local and to confirm new destination. yeah convert that to al a standard hyperdrive rating. i found a website awhile ago that had the hyperdrive/warpdrive/jump drive from various settings available in a calculator. but the site wont load anymore.
(http://scifimultiverserpg.hopto.org/)
basically i used from what i had saved for my quick references and made a chart and threw it on the holocron after i couldnt get the site to load.
(http://d6holocron.com/wiki/index.php?title=Warp_Drive_vs_Hyper_Drive)
and yes i did the conversion for the few cylons there were solid stats for. the more info i have the more accurate i find a conversion to be in relation to the original works.
