Tired of the same ol' BattleFests? Sick of watching some enemy getting a XFF when you start with some poor early era FF? .. well.. this should solve your problems! The Fests+ package includes 4 mission scripts for SFC:OP. They are more intelligent than the original Fests scripts (no offense, dear author) and more focused.

Fests+ installer and sourcecode:

   * Fests+_11.exe size: 307kb (Installer, for SFC:OP)
   * fests+_20040228.zip size: 272k (sources) 

Scripts included:

   * BattleFest+ -- 6 ships: from small to large: FF, DD/DW, CL, CA/NCA, BCH, DN
   * BattleFestLite+ -- 3 ships: FF, CA, DN
   * TinyFest+ -- 3 ships: FF, DD/DW, CL
   * SlugFest+ -- 3 ships: large ships: CA, BCH, DN.
     *exception in late era*: BCH, DN, BB! 

Differences:

   * The hullclasses have been expanded:
     There are, like before, 6 ship classes in the battlefest:
         o Frigate
         o Destroyer
         o Light Cruiser
         o Heavy Cruiser
         o Heavy BattleCruiser
         o Dreadnought 

     .. however, these classes have been expanded:
         o Frigate
         o Destroyer AND War Destroyers
         o Light Cruiser
         o Heavy Cruiser AND New Heavy Cruiser
         o Heavy BattleCruiser
         o Dreadnought 

   * The ships chosen will be Era-complient. X1 ships like in OP+ are grouped with the Advanced Era ships: there aren't enough of those.

   * If a ship class from a given era can't be selected, a close match will be selected. This will be from a smaller or larger class, or the same class from a near era.

   * Late-era Slugfests are NASTY. If you decide to play a SlugFest+ in Late Era, the 3 ships chosen will be a BCH, DN and BB. 

BattleFest+Intense (NO installer yet)

Released: 2010-01-09.

   * Mul_Battlefest+Intense.zip (154 KB), source code
   * Mul_Battlefest+Intense.scr (454 KB), script 

Differences: You take a Bfest+, and..

   * added 1 more hull class: Battleship
         o Frigate
         o Destroyer
         o Light Cruiser
         o Heavy Cruiser
         o Heavy BattleCruiser
         o Dreadnought
         o Battleship 

   * every selected player gets an AI partner of the same race (one they cannot control)
     ie:
         o If 2 people player, 1 vs 1, it makes it a 2 vs 2.
         o If 6 people play, FreeForAll (FFA), It will make it a 2 vs 2 vs 2 vs 2 vs 2 vs 2 game.
         o If 6 people play, 3 vs 3, it makes it a 6 vs 6
