A ship I'm working on for fun. I hope it will match the BtRL quality standards when it's done.
It's actually not a battlestar, but a way smaller ship.

[Ashrak]

looks like an aeolius in High Def lol

[Mefustae]

It does, actually. An Aeolus MkII, i'm afraid. I take it you went with the Pegasus as a base for the aesthetic design?

[aldo_14]

I have to admit not seeing too much BSG in it, except the very roughest similarity in engine and nose shape.  Which is maybe what you were aiming for (truth be told, if you'd not mentioned 'Battlestar' people might see more similarity ).

[asyikarea51]

I see the Raynor in it.

[Taristin]

I only really see the Aeolus, and possible one other ship who's name I cant remember, but has split engines like that, in it.

[DaBrain]

After my first attempt to make a BSG-like ship. I ended up with a model that looked like a mini battlestar.
It is supposed different from the battlestars. I'm working on the BSG-ish look though.

Any better now?

[Herra Tohtori]

Now it definitely looks more BSG-ish when the hull is not as smooth as before.

Perhaps the hull plating would fit better into BSG engineering style if the armour plates in the front section were rectanguar instead of what they now are. Now the frontal hull plating seems to be consisting of seemingly random polygonal plates. Which makes it look like the armour was cast one piece and then someone cut lines into it, dividing it into these polygonal parts... or alternatively it looks like it was manufactured from complicatedly shaped parts, which isn't really probable (or sensible), since the more complicated parts the ship uses, the more expensive and slow it is to manufacture them.

It obviously looks very good, whatever it ends up being.

[Unknown Target]

That bit about the armor being square was exactly what I said on the internals. Although that really looks kickass now

[DaBrain]

I'm really having fun with all this stuff.




Yeah, I'll work on the front a bit tomorrow. Maybe I can complete the model tomorrow.

thats a sweet looking ship.  It would be nice to see a non-battlestar warship...i mean, the US Navy is sailing around in a bunch of aircraft carriers...they have frigates, destroyers, subs....a whole battle group...I wonder what battlestar's battle group would look like...in battle...

Flaming wreckage

[Thor]

haha isn't that the idea?

"Sir, cylon basestars on draydis!" 
Adama
"Launch alert fighters, sound general quarters, and send out the battle group, attack pattern 3"
Battle group
"Aw man....we're gonna get our asses kicked again?  can't you go this time?  you got that nice big battlestar..."
Adama
"no"
Battle group
"fine...fine...enga....AAAAAAAHHHHH! <STATIC>
D
"Battle group destroyed sir."
Adama
"Alright people, now lets get to work..."

[aldo_14]

It's amazing how much those 'tubes' add to the model.  Before I reckoned it was maybe a bit plain and undetailed, but now it's loverly.

[Bobboau]

pipe greeble == ownage.

[NGTM-1R]

Of it, yes. Hope those don't carry anything it needs...

[Taristin]

yeah... really...

[Trivial Psychic]

I think there'd be demand for this ship as a Freespace universe ship.  I suggest re-texturing it to FS and reconfiguring the weapons to match.  I'd say either a heavy cruiser based on the Aeolus, or a light corvette of the same lineage.

[Ghost]

Bump, damn you! I want to see more....

[bizzybody]

With the new stuff being worked on for FS, those angled turrets on the sides can be made functional.
