Since it's a FCW Veteran, i hope it's pretty rusted ( texture wise )?!? :nervous:
Or are ya aiming for a more Galactica-ish look?
And did I spot the upside down hangars like on the Pegasus as well?
She seemed to be a distilled version of the "Alligator on skis" concept of the Battlestar; a long sleek predator. I could always imagine her rising out of a nebula cloud to snatch up a Basestar like some unsuspecting Zebra. For me there was no better name then crock god of Egypt.
Mrm...I disagree, but it's no game-breaker for me, so carry on. Beautiful work on the ship.
Landing length of the pods: 544 meter.... and yet it still provides ample opportunity for me to slam my Viper hard onto the deck in some form of spinning, twisting, high-angled escape from pursuing Raiders or missiles.

If you've seen the whole show, including the finale, you'll see that ANY earth mythology is fair game - there is no logical reason why any of them shouldn't be used. Just in case someone hasn't seen the finale, I'll proceed with spoiler tags:Spoiler:It's highly unlikely us earthlings came up with identical mythologies all of our own - it's fair to assume that the colonials, after landing, spread around the planet, some possibly using the remaining raptors, spreading their culture as the years passed. And 12 colonies counts for plenty of mythology. After seeing the finale, I'm pretty open to any ancient earth mythology as a source for ship names, since it's originally colonial mythology anyways :)
Torc, you're correct - this one doesn't retract hangars. She's not exactly as old as Galactica - while the Galactica was around for the whole, or most of the 1st Cylon War, the Sobek class entered service near the end of it, and only a few were completed in time to see real action in that war. So while not new like the Mercury class, it's still a newer (and smaller) design then the Galactica, so she doesn't need retractable pods.
Oh no, the Valkyrie isn't much larger then one of Tessie's pods. Its hard to see from the show but the Valk is extremely small, Tessie while smaller and sleeker then the Galactica is still very much a big warship. Besides I've already put together a few 1CW era versions of Valkyrie tonnage :D
At the risk of starting a long winded debate.. I don't think the colonials use railguns.
Slayer's sketch states 29, though I suspect that number was made up on the spot :) To be honest I have no idea if we'll stick to that number, though I don't see why not either.
Probably to make it look cool. :PWell obviously, kind of hard to read meaning into something in which there never was one.
Peggy looks cool, doesn't she? (Yes) --> End of arguing...
We are talking about make-believe, don't forget.
Does Theseus look cool? (Yes) --> stfu. :D
I love you people. Only 26 main guns? (52 if you count barrels). What do the rest look like?
really good job guys... there's no much more to say... in italian we say...STI C***I!!! :lol:
One question: is the Theseus supposed to be the only Sobek-class Battlestar?
Are the missile tubes conventional, nuclear or both?
I thought that the missiles only fired from the forward tubes on the Galactica?Are the missile tubes conventional, nuclear or both?
I think that tubes are nukes only, since the Theseus seems to utilize the same weapons like Galactica and Pegasus, which can be switched to fire, either Flak or missiles.
There would be no need to have dedicated missile launchers except for nukes, which are much larger then the average missile.
:nervous:
Or something.

Nope, in the episode "Resurrection Ship" in the scene where Gal and Peg circle around the Basstar, you can see
Gal's dorsal batteries firing missiles.
Putting anything in the wiki at the moment is really premature as we've not released anything yet and reserve the right to change anything about the ship still.
Those pods dont look big enugh to house hangars has it be scalled or is it rule of cool
Even though Brandx0 isn't making the model, eps200 reminded me:
It's not to the correct dimensions seen in the show.
1) Can we launch from the tubes. - We're working on that. Hopefully.
2) Can we combat land on the pods. - Again, working on it.
3) Will the nuke tubes open? - Yes.
4) Will the guns rise up out of their resting positions when fighting the enemy? - Probably not in R1. In later releases, most likely. In R1 they'll already be up in their combat positions.
5) How big is it exactly?
Length: 1072 meter + 28 meter the nose antenna array.
Width: 461 meter on the widest point of the pods.
Height: 132 meter from the lowest point of the pods to the highest point of the spine.
Internal height of the pods: higher = 18 meter, lower = 9,5 meter.
Landing length of the pods: 544 meter.
Launchtube length: minimum 91 meter, maximum 97 meter.
