I hate the pods, they're totally unrealistic. The rest is pure awesome though. Now we just need a frog shaped basestar and let the battle begin.

I want to see that thing going headfirst into the fray like Pegasus did lol.  Though I'm sure its top speed is a bit low....

Great, if they inherit the (theoretical) unstoppable killing trait from the Dalek and the actually succeeding at harming humans trait from the cylon, we're pretty much screwed.

You now need a render of the Cylek saltstars shaking salt on them!

You should put some little helmets over the top of the eye-stalks too.

Good idea! I'll see that i cook something up this week.

The Battlesnail is on the way, UVing is done, placeholder texture in place. The Mesh needs a bit of optimisation, as it was never meant to be used in a gameengine, only for renders ( primary purpose was some fun on IRC).
The Cylekstars are beyond optimisation, i'd need to rebuild them for scratch.
The Cyleks need UVs and texture and the Cylek Raiders basically only conversion.

Yea but.. you'll end up putting your valuable time into a one time joke that will get old after one or two playthroughs. Hate to rain on your parade but (imo) you'd be better off putting your time into something with a little more lasting appeal.

Post by: Angelus on June 06, 2011, 09:45:06 am
Well, i'm not going to do all the models any time soon.
Only the Battlesnail, and that only because 5 people have requested that model for various reasons.

Post by: newman on June 06, 2011, 10:53:25 am
Well, if you're going to do it, do it right. Meaning, two fs2 shivan red beams coming out of each of it's eyes. Those should be the only weapons.

The standard arnament are 8 Main batteries, shooting high velocity armor penetrating shells ( no pun intended), and i copy the AA and flak batteries from the Galactica.

I've heard that when some people create characters they put a little bit of themselves into their creations....
Is this taking it too far? :lol:
