Omni... If you need help let me know.... I am sure IP will be willing to lend a hand.. He is just very traditional with BattleStar!

It may be too soon, but if a certain member of teh community completes teh job I ahev him working on, next project will be old BSG galactica, right now it is a 4000 poly 1 object pof that needs turrets amde and placed and textures...  Oh and the pods are FLY THROUGH as they should be...  All for now!


Omni I can;t wait to try the scarlet vipers against the MKII's! I'm almost ready to release them in a few minutes!

Problem... when the Pegasus disappeared, it had no fighters.  All fighters and non-essential personnel were evacuated to Galactica.  Therfore, even it its possible to code, your entire career as a player aboard the Pegasus, would consist of being a turret gunner.  Perhaps, the Pegasus will encounter the remains of another Battlestar, with some intact fighters and additional components intact.  Pilots would be drafted from the remaining crew and the primary plot would be trying to locate the trail of the Galactican fleet, while evaiding Cylons and avoid them following you to the Galactica.

How's that?

...

I'm talking about doing a campaign around the Pegasus in the new BSG before it potentially meets the Galactica.

Looks clean and shiny to me. I'll make a battle hardened version as well.







STill new to weathering techniques but this version has  some dirt and grim. The 3dsmax render doesn't show it.

Here are the Richard hatch concepts for the Scarlet viper. I included teh .cob if Omni wants to mess with it and improve it hopefully? It ahs 3 extra laser torpedo guns cause in the 20 years since the beginning of their journey Commander Apollo realises they need more fire power to kick Cylon ass!

I got lazy and they just use Rockeyes for missiles , in the show they use Solinite missiles so just copy and change the rockeye table...

I included the normal and Scarlet textures and they have ship Icones maybe you can make into shield icons? whatever do what you want with it and enjoy!!!

BTW thanks goes to Atra-Hasis for yet another great model he has allowed us to use!!!

Crap since this was fro IP andrews to use inteh mod I didn;t finish it off so it has no paths or docking paths so add one or turn off all rearming in missions (not that you ever see teh vipers rearm in  the show anyway, and teh turbo lasers should be more than enough weaponry! you gto 5 damn guns!)

Nothing against this model, but the Scarlet Viper is just .

[Getter Robo G]

Thank you for you well thought out criticism. I'm sure that will help modelrs to improve it.

Personally, I think the 're-imagined' version is... tries to think of way to state opinon politely...

The orginal Galatica was much better looking, the vipers better, the storyline... the whole darn thing was better.

Killfrenzy and Myself have been sort of working on a Orginal BSG Mod, though he's gone a bit quiet lately...  Hopefully he'll pop in more now.

Good luck in your attempt to create a New-Era BSG Mod.  I may not like the subject, but I'm not going to stop people trying.

[ShadowWolf_IH]

actually, i am finding that i like the new one better than the old one.  Which isn't to say that i didn't love the old one.  My main problem with the new one is that i don't like the Galactica.  I like the old one.  I really like what they are doing with Starbuck.  Which is a far cry from where i was after watching the mini series last year.  I like the Viper's better in the new one, as well as the Cylon Raiders.

[Getter Robo G]

Yeah I was vehemently agaissnt BSG2004  but I got over it (mainly it was aginst the creator), it really grew on me. My main problem is the kids posting comments about the original when (a) they didnt watch all teh original episodes or (b) they confuse that travesty Galactica 1980 series with the original!!!

  it was good for it's ERA and the focus of the show was on religion and family (and came on after world of disney so it was directed at FAMLIY viewing...

It's like apples and oranges... New BSG is dark, scary, sexual..
"mom, why is boomer jumping up and kissing the mechanic really close?" (boomer's bump and grind lol)

BTW that model is based off the 20k-70k (forgot how much) poly production model for Richard hatches trailer (BSG second Comming). So it's no where near how good the Scarlet Viper is supposed to look... If I find a pic again I will post it for you.

Yeah I remember watching a re-run of Galactica 1980, my god it was dire after one episode I went off it and never watched the rest. The original series and the new one on the other hand are both great for different reasons...

[Getter Robo G]

That was like the best decision you ever made. It got hideiously WORSE after that! Each week they would drive the series deeper into the ground to save $. Like the flying motocycles, even if in the middle of a city or in the woods when they flew the cycles they took off from the SAME LA highway ramp (horrible blue screen and models!).

Even better, tehy said the Colonials were "heavy Worlders" and like able to move faster and jump higher and be stronger (even the kids) then it is something on 24/7 you can;t "turn it off"and act normally without extensive training in low grav enviroments, the natives would pick up on it right away! But here we are on day 1 and all 12 of the scouts and thier two scout masters fit right in with normal Earthers operating vehicles and walking around/running like natives!!! They only use theri gavity advantage (like 20 foot jumps straight up or bending things " bu  exerting effort as the situation requires. The old super hero premise, you can activate your powers at will. But they are not powers but natuiral abilites that should not be "controlled"... LOL! Damn Uber Galacticans!

OMG I rememebr last night's episde, They stole the idea of when near the end of the old series OLD starbuck crashes on the planet and then he rebuilds on of the cylons for company (and to play cards with) and then finds a girl and gets her pregnant.. he puts her and the baby they make into the escape pod he built from the viper and raider pieces while he and "CY" holdof the other cylons who showed up a year later... It wa a cool episode but Starbuck dies on that planet all alone. His kid is part of the angel people (ascended like in sg-1) as the mother disapears back to her people and the baby goes to find the galactica.

   They raise the kid in galactica 1980 as Dr Z and by age of 12 he invented UFO type flying saucers and invisibility screens for the Colonials.. It was pathetic...

I wonder how much Ron Moore stole, oops I mean re-imagined for this next episode. Will Starbuck reassemble a cylon for company and teach it pyramid? Will she meet an uber man angel and get knocked up? Find out NEXT week!!!!

[Paladin1]

Sweet Jesus that sounds really bad.

[stithe2000]

ummm..... no

[Omniscaper]

Another update.... texturing almost finished...

[Falcon]

[stithe2000]

puuurrty!

[Swamp_Thing]

Has anyone made a model of the original Viper?
And what about the Galactica itself?

[Omniscaper]

Creating the original is just a matter of manipulating this mesh. Not too different. Checkout stithe2000's name links for the original BSG mod. I believe its out for public use. I'mm make the original eventually. The Galactica on the otherhand is quite a BEAST to model. I'm guessing a model which will add up to 12,000 polys. Check page ttwo for its current progress. All my efforts are bent on texturing at the moment.
