Well, I suppose it's just a highly unlikely location for any application (although, I suppose this is just a convetion or a tradition). Normally, no-one installs a location to C:\ (except Windows of course).

Right, in one of the screenshots (the first) there is a directory called Abandon Ship, did you copy that out of the zip (or rar?) and put it directly there?
If so, copy the scripts and data (and maybe sfx) directories from that one, and put it in C:\
I still can't read peoples minds, nor can I read peoples computers, even worse, I can't combine the two to read what is going wrong with your BC install...

Ya, the abandon ship was a zip, then i unzipped it and put it under the BC folder.  I've been doing it to all of my downloads.

If so, copy the scripts and data (and maybe sfx) directories from that one, and put it in C:\

I'm confused on that statment.  Is it not aready in C:\ ?

LOL I'm so stupid LOL

you copy the script and data folders from inside the abandon ship folder into the c folder so they overwrite the other script and data folders there so the mod is now in BC.
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

I've tried it with the Abandon Ship, Assimilated Ship an the Distress Call and they're not working.  I copied all of the things in the folder and it's still not working.

Please define further.
There weren't any because there are no mutators?
Or no new mutators?
Or something else I didn't think of right now?

Then you have a button called Mutators with atleast 3 mutators.

I guess that explains why you don't have things like Abandon Ship, you don't have QuickBattle Autostart installed.
