Ships

-----

The following new ships are available when the Reinforcements Pack DLC is installed:


Colonial "Berserk" Assault Carrier

- An assault carrier that focuses on firepower and reactiveness, the Berzerk is a fast and effective force multiplier for Colonial Fleet.


Colonial "Janus" Heavy Cruiser

- Janus is an old Gemenon heavy cruiser with high munitions capacity


Cylon "Phobos" Tech Cruiser
- The Phobos is a large Cylon tech ship that acts as a mobile command centre when a basestar’s immobility would be a liability.


Cylon "Cerastes" Destroyer

- The Cerastes is a new response to the never-ending escalation of space superiority fighter design.

All ships are available in Skirmish (single player) and Multiplayer. In campaign mode, Berserk is available immediately; Janis ships can be unlocked during the campaign.


Mines
-----

The following new munitions are available when the Reinforcements Pack DLC is installed:


- Colonial Proximity Mines. Set these up and when an enemy ship gets to close, the mine detonates.

- Colonial EMP Mines. These mines do subsystem damage, instead of armour/hull damage.

- Cylon Homing Cluster Mines.

Mines can be disarmed by fighters.

All mines are available in Skirmish (single player) and Multiplayer. In campaign mode, Colonial Proximity mines are available immediately; EMP mines can be unlocked during the campaign.



Changes

- Set DLC saves (saves containing DLC ships) as non interactable in the load game panel when DLC is not enabled.

- Waypoint in Mission 8 moved so that MkIIs can't reach them before the objective resolves
