This is purely a feeble attempt at getting some salivation, or to attract attention. One of the two!

Please remember these are VERY much WIPs, with the exception of the Viper and Raider which are pretty much done.

So, with not further ado:

Colonial Starhound Viper



Model: IPAndrews

This is Ian's original Viper that I've salvaged for use. Why make a new one when this one is just as nice?

Cylon Mk. IX Raider



Model: Dunno. I got sent this by Star Dragon, and after the fiasco involving DG and the S:AAB mod, I don't want a repeat of that. So, if anyone has any ideas please let me know so I can ask the guy for permission to pinch it!

Although it's triangulated to hell and won't render properly in some cases (very noticable in the tech room) it's the best Raider I've got without building another from scratch and poorly texturing it!

Colonial Nova class Battlestar



Model: IPAndrews

Another rescued mesh, but this one I'm tweaking a bit to make it a little more versatile, such as having interchangeable nameplates. There's texture problems with it, which is why I'm showing it un-textured, but you all should know this thing anyway!;7

Cylon Hades class Base Star



Model: Myself!

The first scratch model I've made for the mod, and one of the worst. I basically knocked it out in about an hour or so to get the scale right, and crikey the thing is HUGE!! Needs texturing naturally, as well as arming but I can't do the texturing to the same level as the other models.........I seriously do suck that much!

Colonial Helios class Warstar



Model: Myself, although I give IP Andrews credit for the 'components' that make up the vast majority of this thing!

This'll be a new one for most of you I reckon. I threw it out today on a whim, and she still needs a massive sensor thing on top. It's a taster of the fact that there'll be some non-canon stuff in this mod purely to 'beef up' the list of things in the game. This particular ship is a Battlestar on steroids in the role of command and control of a large fleet.

This particular design comes from http://www.shipschematics.net and was designed by a Jeremy H. Tidwell, who I'll need to find some way to contact. If anyone knows, tell me!

Well, that's it apart from a couple of teaser interface pics:




That's all for the moment. If any of you feel inspired, I badly need a texturer and someone who can fix modelling errors!

Oh, and if anyone can track down Shadow Puppet, grab him for me would you?

It's a 150megs.com account.  Killfrenzy, please change the img tags to url, so we can at least open them in a new window.  Once we're there it's just a simple matter of adding a ? to the url and they'll show up.

*Mumbles*

Posted in the first post!
If the pics don't work, copy, paste, staple, you name it. I apologise for the host!

Changed anyway.

[Liberator]

There's something off about the Viper.  I think the angle on the wings needs to be increased, they stick out too straight.  It's good but it's just off a little.

The Raider needs a more well defined center section.

As far as the Basestar, you might want to try using a circle as the basic shape and extrude/scale from there.

[Killfrenzy]

Nothing is wrong with either the Viper or the Raider as far as I can see, but that's just me.

As for the Base Star, have you tried making one of the bloody things? Five-way split hangars in both top and bottom surfaces on both disks. It's a real pain, let me assure you!

But as I said, it's a WIP and is likely to be totally scrapped now that I actually have a plastic model Base Star to work from!

[KARMA]

the viper look a bit strange, but it could be just my memory:)
I like the raider, but the engines seems having something wrong (but it could be just an impression due to the view angle)
And wasn't the galactica already textured??

[Star Dragon]

The Warstar looks intersting! can you use the existing textures fromt eh galactica just as a temporary cover?

Also the original Galactica was fine, but scale compared to vipers was too small... I sent Killfrenzy a bigger version with fly through landing bays! But he said he detected a virus on it. I ran my brand new mCafrey virus scan on it and it says it's clean...? It came from a XWA OPT.

As for the base star that came from a homeworld mod 2 years ago... I believe  DG  got into hot water cause he was in contact with them anyway about Saab stuff. Same thing apply's to any and all homeworld items I've collectedlst two years, I've read any and all terms of use postedin theor credits and since I have no completed mod using them there is no rreason for me to contact anyone, at least until one is ready.. then out of curtesy I would inform that individual team member(s) that I would like to include thier original work in a mod... About 90% of the terms of use I have read do not forbid othe mods, simply from profiting from it or claiming suck work as one';s own..

At least EVERYONE here knows I create NOTHING!

[Killfrenzy]

The Galactica is clean you say? In which case try sending it again, but send it to the other address I PMed to you. That way you'll guarantee it getting through without having the client moan about size!

As for texturing, no, I can't use Galactica's existing textures as a temporary cover because of the way the Galactica is textured. It's all flat textures with no UV mapping at all, and that makes my life difficult!

[StratComm]

If that's all it is, just box map it and say you're done.  All FS needs is a normal assignment, and flat textures will go through just fine (though they won't look very good)

[Raptor]

I konw it's been years since I last saw the film, but I distinctly remember that the central 'core' was longer, and there were about twice as many 'arms' linking it to the fighterbay 'pods', evenly spaced.

[magatsu1]

I think the fighters look a little out of scale.
Also, could the Viper be made to look a little dirty ?
They always looked proper manky during the series.

[Baron MacDoblin]

I assume the perspective is just f**ked to hell.

[Eviscerator]

Just thought you guys may wanna know: We at Sierra have a BSG game in development.

So, I do not know if you want to invest more time with this one, or....... Just thought you should know in case you did not know already.

[Star Dragon]

I saw the travesties for  the PS2 and gamecube...


PLEASE tell me you are doing orginal galactica and NOT the new mini-series..

anyway I definately am continuing any BSG develpement ESPECIALLY cause of the injustice done to the show by the newbies.... (USA, SCI-FI , viacom or whoever)...

here is a blast from the past. Last year I posted pics of the dimensional alliance defending an Earth against a borg invasion. Here the Galactica barely survives the explosion of the huge Atlantis starbase. I can be seen in the super veritech not that far away from the battlestar (about 2000 meters)

[Killfrenzy]

To StratComm: I've tried box mapping the Galactica, and it fubared the textures completely, rendering some unusable because of orientation problems and the like.

To Raptor: If' you're moaning about the design of the Galactica, it's kosher. Dig up any picture you care to of a Battlestar and you'll see what I mean.

To Megatsu1: What do you mean they're 'out of scale?!' They're actually at the calculated measurements for the fighters from the Galactica Tech manual, which I am using as a reference for size and speed of various things.

To Eviscerator: I have no faith in Sierra doing anything with Space Combat after killing Babylon 5: Into the Fire, which resulted in The Babylon Project amongst other things. This time we're beating you to it! And of course, if it's based on the 're-imagined' series, I for one won't be sending any money your way.....

Just for the record, I'm currently doing all this by myself with occasional favours from people. A lot of existing stuff is completely unusable what with compatibility issues, geometry issues, stability issues and the like, so unless someone is willing to model and texture things, then I can only do so much at once.

[Setekh]

Fantastic work, Killfrenzy. Uploaded those pics to my staff dir for you.

I was not 'moaning', just commenting on the differances between the model (which I have checked is offical), and my memory.

Well, it was over 6-7 years ago that I last watched the film, so my memories bound to be out.

Was the first Si-Fi film I EVER watched (aged about 4;) )

Look, I'm willing to lend a hand at modelling and texturing, if you like...

oh, and BTW, need to talk to you a bit more about the 'other' project at some point......

[Eviscerator]

Welp, you maybe forgetting that Sierra has done quite a bit with Space Combat and Sci-Fi games since the B5 fiasco. Remember that the decision to cancel B5 was a VU decision and not a Sierra one.

Personally, since I am not working on this project, I could care less if you have any faith in it or not. I was merely giving you a friendly heads up. Next time I will not bother I suppose.

BTW, development is ahead of schedule for console release for one of the few times in years, so if you do wanna beat the BSG Team at PC release you had better hurry.

As for specific questions, SD, I am afraid that I may not answer any.

[Killfrenzy]

Those words 'console release' suggest the 're-imagined' travesty to me....

And what has Sierra done that's space combat? Homeworld is RTS unless someone's changed the definition. Sierra has not published a Space Combat game to the best of my knowledge since Inca came out, and that was just........wierd........

Setekh: Thanks, bud!

Raptor: Yes, we do need to have a chat! I forgive your memory!
