Ahh I see, thanks a lot. I will try that then.

Also how come the .rar files don't work? the .zip ones do.

Sorry I meant it shuts off when I load the operation highland campaign. not shinning fortress.

<t> With Gillbo's campaign, it says I need to download the fighters and ships mod or something as well. I did that and everything is in the mods folder for the game. The fighters and ships mod has its own folder within the mods folder and the campaign file is also its own folder within the mod ...

Then how do I play these mods?

<t> Okay I figured out in the options that I just enable it. But now when I go to play the campaign, the game shuts off and asks me to send an error report before I even get to the missions menu. Sorry for not being the experienced gamer for these things guys but this is starting to annoy me. Its ...

Once I download these mods, what do I do with them to be able to play them in the game. Its a zipped file so I tried extracting it but I don't know what file to copy it into for the game.

Nevermind. It works that way. I don't know why I didn't notice that the first few times I tried that. Thanks.

Oh I saw that. I went into the file from "my computer" and opened the file just called stars but it was still the 5.0.0 version. I've downloaded this patch many times from different sites. I'll try again though.

Okay, I will check that stuff out again. So the 4.5.5 stuff is not a different game just a different version I'm guessing. What are the stratgies to kill a zolon ship faster with say a devestator class cruiser. I think thats the biggest cruiser for the alliance??

I have downloaded the patch multiple times but the game never seems to upgrade to the new version. I double click the file after it opens and the the screen to download it comes up and asks for my name and serial number but my game still says its the 5.0.0 version. Can someone explain?

I checked out that website but there isn't anything in there for ships besides ones from battlestar galactica. Is there any benefit at all from climbing the ranks anymore then other than personal satisfaction lol.

Well that sucks. I don't know how to do that lol. I was looking forward to being to pilot huge indestructible dreadnaughts. Plus those Zolon ships are almost impossible to destroy so it would have been cool to pilot one of those and see what it could do.

It says on the game that you can pilot battleships, dreadnaughts and alien vessles but I have yet to see that. I have gone through all the campaigns and I am a vice admiral. I also have not seen any of the criminal ships yet either. When do you get to pilot those ships?
