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.

What's different compared to the old BattleFests?

• The hullclasses have been expanded
  • There are, like before, 6 ship classes in the battlefest:
    • Frigate
    • Destroyer
    • Light Cruiser
    • Heavy Cruiser
    • Heavy BattleCruiser
    • Dreadnought
  • .. however, these classes have been expanded:
    • Frigate
    • Destroyer AND War Destroyers
    • Light Cruiser
    • Heavy Cruiser AND New Heavy Cruiser
    • Heavy BattleCruiser
    • Dreadnought

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

• 2nd pass matching on ship selection failure
  • 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-FUN!
  • If you decide to play a SlugFest+ in Late Era, the 3 ships chosen will be a BCH, DN and BB.
