After watching the finale and reviewing BSG's first season, I am determined to start, or be part of a BSG total conversion. There is enough material (storyline-wise) to follow and expand from. My head has been spinning with all types of mini-campaign ideas just for the pilot mini-series nevermind the actual season. We can then get into the season 1 story arc and in between story-lines.

If you folks have not seen it yet, I've been working on a Viper model :

This project needs talented and dedicated folk fueled by their love for the new series.

I refuse to start another solo project like my past scattered Trek models. I have limited Fredding and texturing skills, but I have a prowess for modelling and the ability to gather sound/video materials for in game and mission briefing stuffs. I am reading up on web design now just for this BSG project.

PLEASE SHOW YOR LOVE FOR BSG and lets create an interactive experience of the show's first season!!!!

PS: My personal Trek project will still continue of course.

Sigh......

Ok, I'm going to go to school now. When I get back, I'm expecting some form of response

Yeah, I can't stand to wait for responses to my thread either. A half hour is an eternity...

[karajorma]

Have a chat with IP Andrews. He already has the bones of a mod already. Admittedly it was for the original series

[Roanoke]

Original series > Remake ( more)

[Omniscaper]

ROTFL.... You're one of those people!!!

I've been catching up with the original for the last month now. I never knew the existance of BSG before this "re-imagined" version came out. I'm having MUCH difficulty getting past the wardrobe, hairstyles, and campyness of it. So far the story is an interesting parallel. And the chicks' wardrobe is kicking. That Athena broad.... yum and a young Jane Seymour...    niiiiiice. They're all Milf's now.

I thought about using "The Magnificent Warrior" episode to create a sidestory campaign where the current Galactica bumps into the Older design Battlestar Pegasys and follows the story line of that episode (nice episode BTW, I hope Moore "re-imagines" it).

I just had a hillarious thought. Perhaps if a TC project takes off, I'll make an alternate Universe ending to the series which has the Galactica and fleet, which is headed toward Earth, pass a fleet FLEEING Earth because they're being chased by Skynet's Terminators or "The Matrix"'s AI. It would be even more funny if the fleet was STARFLEET fleeing a Borgified Earth.

The Shivan fleet fleeing Alpha 1.

But seriously, somebody here has a link in their sig, and I've visited the site a few times: I'm not sure it's IP Andrews, though...

Actually, i wouldn´t mind at all seeing a BSG mod done right. I could even contribute with a model or two. But there is a catch, a big one:
Many people here aren´t so lucky to have their national televisions airing the new show, wich means we would be mostly in the dark. If it were based off the original BSG, i would have no probs, as the show is currently airing again over here, and repeated twice a day.
But if someone got a ship database, where we could view the new show´s models, that could be fixed...

**wonders about it**

**wonders about it some more**

I don´t remember anymore. Did the Pegasus ever resurfaced after Cain slammed it between 2 baseships, and headed for Baltar´s baseship? He managed to destroy both base ships, but then he disappeared...
If he never turned up again, that´s a good angle to make a side story off of BSG´s main story.
Cain´s period alone with the Pegasus could also make for a good plot. He was raiding the cylons alone for months, after the raid on Caprica destroyed the fleet.

Doing a mod of the new version as a story focused around Commander Cain would be good.

More combat, more action, and not technically stepping on the toes of the series. Plus it'd allow for more creative stuff to be done.

[Trivial Psychic]

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?

Well, you should take a closer look at the new series. The Galactica is one of the ORIGINAL twelve battlestars. There's no older model.

[Omniscaper]

If you watch the pilot mini series, you see models of the 70's  Basestar and Cylon centurion in their museum of the 40 year old Cylon War. I think its safe to assume that the Battlestars of that time also looked like the original 70's model. It would be insane to see a WWII destroyer amidst today's battle group.... that is unless, it received massive refits and overhauls to modernize it. The Galactica would be an example of that scenario. Considering its identical structure to the original, its not so far fetched that the Galactica evolved and developed into its current state.

[mitac]

If there is such a development, it would be only minor. It's obvious and has been stated that the Galactica was planned to be upgraded with newer system, which never happened due to Adama's resistance. Thus, I consider the Galactica as still being mostly in its original condition, technology-wise.

[IPAndrews]

I don't like the design of the new ships enough to get involved with this, personally.

[IPAndrews]

I don't like the design of the new ships enough to get involved with this, personally. If you want old Vipers/Raiders and a Base Star I can kit you out with those. Can't help you with the old Galactica though, my version sucks. I'm hoping I can convince Stithe2000 to do me a new version one day. You might do well talking to DamoclesX as he has some nice ships from the new series.

[Deepblue]

AgH! I was making a viper and you have to go and make one thats fine! Mind sharing it? I would like to give that thing a cockpit + (possibly) attempt some textures.

[Getter Robo G]

It's a fan design for Richard Hatch's BSG revival that the studios pulled out on , but I converted the "Scarlet Viper" (after securing permission) for Bridge Commander. Maybe this weekend I'll get a DL for it as during the week I get nothing done and work is hectic (I sleep all day and work all night). L8tr...

IP are you abandoning the BSg mod??? If so please release the Base star.

[Roanoke]

Anyone remember the episode where the Galactica encounters another Battlestar ? Never could remember the name of it tho (Atlantis ?).

[Swamp_Thing]

It´s Cain´s ship, the Pegasus. As posted above.
