Thats a mighty fine effort there Apollo... nice work..

Useful addition to the 'rag tag fleet'....

I take from the turrets the defender will have a military role? ;)

[apollo]

Thanks Elffin! Hmm, well, we never see the ragtag fleet ship in a military role, but then we never see Adama in the loo so.... Battlestar wiki says the ragtag fleet defender is a decommissioned military ship. Maybe we'll get to fly it into battle pre-attack...if of course there is a pre-attack storyline to the mod....(givin away nothin! ;) )

[Droffy]

nice looking ship Apollo

[ML]

[Ice-Dragon]

Looking good apollo,

[apollo]

Thanks guys! Yeah ML - tripple barrel ;)

[ML]

Kick azz! Can't wait to try it out!

[krm398]

[Wolf518]

Sweet looking ship Apollo! I can't tell by the pics - does this have the hangar bay underneath?

[ML]

[apollo]

Yeah it has the hangar. Should hopefully get an update on this in the next 2 weeks, I've got a break before my next exams.

Thanks guys!

Hey Apollo thats looking mighty fine. If I recall they used that ship in the new series at one point and it was only for a split second or something like that but it was in the new series. Cant remember who designed her originally but I think its somewhere in my thread on the x3 forums.
Triple turrets! Man you are game hehehe.

[apollo]

:)

It was originally modeled by Steve Wilson, and designed by Todd Bryce. I think Steve is about quite a few forums, he commented on mine under SteveW.

The turrets aren't definate...they look ok though I think.

I'm gonna try and work on this tomorrow!

[apollo]

A close-up on some details on the hangar (WIP).

[ML]

Is it connected to anything? :?

[apollo]

Yeah it will be, it's just not in that pic.

[ML]

Oh okay, I was jsut curious. I was starring at it for like ten minutes thinking something missing. Looking good by the way. O0

[lostami]

old looking.. is it before the battlestars?

[apollo]

Yeah I guess so. It was originally designed as a TOS ship I guess, so I'd say really old.

[lostami]

Well the model is good, im saying it looks like even in the show it would be a older ship.
