hope these are good enough for you to use in the mod pics of the SOLATIARE will be put on in a few days

please leave a note and let me know what you think

I see that you've combined some BSG and Argon ship parts, especially from the Valkyrie class. Though they look nice, I just don't think they go with the BSG look of ships, their a little too intricit.

[kelmar]

i'ld have to give you a second opinion after textures but they look awsome dude

true but once ingame i'm hoping it will look great if not i can redo the model and remove the argon pieces

P.S. due to problems within the ships the serpentine has to be rebuilt will make a lot of changes and improve the model of Valiant at the same time will post new pics in a few days as i'll be busy over the weekend

PP.s also working on cylon heavy raider and ASP fighter

[ML]

ASP fighter?

[Ice-Dragon]

I take it that the ASP fighter is this http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/th_Asp3DFronts.jpg (http://i138.photobucket.com/albums/q278/Ice-Dragon_photos/Asp3DFronts.jpg)one done by Smallworld if so have you asked if you can do a rebuild? I would be good manners to ask.

Intersting looking ship.

i might do my own version of it using the viper body and engines and cockpit but remove the top engine and flatten it out, if not i'll deffinitly ask persion to use the model

the viper mk2 will be M4 viper mk7 and the asp mk1/2 will be M5

i've rebuilt the serpentine, but the game crashes and i cant sort this out any help in finalising the M7 serpentine would be welcome i'm also having problems with the new viper,

i have noticed that the weapons energy keeps going from 0 to full every second going to try a reinstall of X3 to see if that will sort it out

[rambo57]

well well guys i've sorted the problems out and have even better news, i now have the SERPENTINE, ASP FIGHTER and VIPER

heres the pics:

SERPENTINE:

This pic has given me a few ideas Rambo... sorta reminds me of a larger scale Cylon Heavy Raider....

Currently we do have gaps in the Cylon fleet.. would you continue developing this model and keep to the conventions associated with a Cylon style of ship? This ship could turn out to be a Cylon equivalent of Ice Dragon's Gunstar or the Defender MKII.. m6 class...

Don't worry too much about the Asp for now...

Looking forward to see how things develop and rmemeber to give us close ups of the ship please!!! :)

Yah, you're right, Elffin. It kinda does look "Cylonish" aside from the Valkyrie front section.

[rambo57]

i believe that the cylo look is due to my mistake, i gave it argon style textures due to not yet being able to do custom ones,

the ship itself is an escort ship for the battlestars

the asp is done:

all three ships that i've done so far have custom engine effects

[ML]

I like the asp model! O0

[rambo57]

i'm glad you like doing the cylon models is abit harder than i thought, i'm working on them but its taking some time as theres only me on the team now it seems, would like it if you lot would make me a BSG mod member i'll provide support and models,

i've just finished a new colonial ship the (Comstar class) with an unusual weapon setup and one hanger its task is to provide communications and radar early warning system for the fleet, and as of two hours ago i finished the Battlestar Ajak it has hangers the are big enough to park 4 m6 class and 4 TS/TP ships plus your fighters internally will provide pics later,

does any of you know about getting a target spotlight to show up in game as the models are dark and i want to light sections of the ships up with a light

[Elffin]

Any updates on the Heavy raider Rambo? closeups too if possible

It might be an idea for you to post a WIP thread for it similar to what Apollo and Ice dragon so the team can advise and admire your work... :)

[rambo57]

the heavy raider is taking even longer than other cylon ships although i'm still working it, there is also a new fighter raider named the Vampire raider looks really nice will have screen shots soon but untill then trust me shes gawjus shes based on the cylon raider mk2 and is slightly improved in looks, a word of notice i'd like to say that although most of the ships i've done look nice they lack custom textures if your team has the textures to use i'll send the files to my mate DC shadow you will add the textures for me


and as for the WIP thread thats what this thread was meant to be aswell as a ships that have been done thread

[rambo57]

just thought i'd inform you all that i'm still working on a heavy raider mk3 i also have a heavy M6/M7 class ship for the colonials its a prototype vessel and still work in progress due to the scene work, i have xsp files for the other ships i've done but no where to upload them to, any offers guys

by the way i'm working on a side project and would love to know how to add a missile gun, any help would be greatfull plus use of your ships, in general my project will have ships from BSG, stargate SG1 and atlanis, startrek and starwars, with permission from the authers of the ships that i want to use
