[Raouls]

Well dont forget all the battlestars and other ships pre attack. =o ) who knows maybe set up scripts to be able to save the other battlestars and even more ships kinda have a whole prelude to war type thing.

[hawkbs]

Blackbird mesh is in the HW2 BSG Mod. It doesnt look great but its the right shape. Pretty sure that we have all the meshes for all these ships now.

Oh if you have maya let me know pls I need a Maya File coverting to 3ds and cannot find a plugin anywhere. Got a great Raptor with Zoics textures in mb format.

[Elffin]

I've been looking for some space stations (armsitice and Ragnar anchorage) and found 1 poorly textured/meshed armistice station (downloadable) and found a number of 'Ragnar anchorages' in the process of being developed.
Will continue the search! - found some -placed in the correct post hopefully!

[Mox]

Dont worry on Ragnar, mesh is already in and lack of textures is actually not a bad thing with this baby cause it's a Juggernaut in size..

I could do with some reference material on Ragnar's textures though cause all I recall is a big ass ringed station in a green soup with giant rusty doors.

[hawkbs]

Released a new Colonial One here http://forum2.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=157852&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

[Elffin]

Have you found a Resurrection ship? mesh / textures.

someone on sfm has worked on one - dont think they have released it though..

[Stevio]

i mentioned it before i think thats the only guy who is actually working on one

[hawkbs]

I have a Resurection Ship from the HW2 Mod but I cant get it to convert to 3ds or OBJ properly although that doesnt mean I havent given up trying.

[Elffin]

Hawkbs - you never cease to surprise me!

Will there be other Battlestars (other than Galactica & Pegasus) included in the mod? If so, how will the text written on the ships changed? (just a point of personal interest) and how will the player choose/create other carriers?

(The other battlestars would probably have been Mercury class - similar to the Pegasus)

[hawkbs]

Well that would be for Mox to answer not me however it would just be a matter of editing the texture map and replacing say Galactica with Atlantia in photoshop. Thats what the guys on battleclinic did for there TOS Battlestars. God your giving me bad ideas now I just spent the whole day and night pumping out ten ships lol and now Im thinking about that and its 12.30am. :idea: Might do it later though as the X3 forums have been really slow loading for me today and its getting frustrating trying to post updates. The classes of the batlestars should be on battlestar wiki though.

Found this Mox dont know where these guys get their info from.

[hawkbs]

Just released a Beta of the Basestar get it here if you want to check it out or see a screeny
http://forum2.egosoft.com/viewtopic.php?t=157852

Oh the resurrection ship I have only converts to a series of unjoined dots from HW2 Mod. Darned annoying that! Max 6 wont import that at all.

[Mox]

In the miniseries when Sharon and Helo slide to Caprica shortly after the destruction of Galactica's Viper MKVII squadron, wreckage can be seen of at least 1 battlestar which looks closer to Galactica then to a Mercury class...possibly a hybrid.

I wouldnt say all battlestars were Mercury's.

More names is easy..more designs probably a tad more difficult but could be interesting nontheless...perhaps another surviving Battlestar?

[Elffin]

I thought I saw a Galactica type while watching the miniseries.http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Image:Destroyed_Battlestar_Mini.JPG. This fleet class cannot be confirmed at a number of sources..

It is 'suspected' that the 'Athena' is another Galactica class Battlestar since it took part in the original Cylon war....
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Athena_%28Battlestar%29

ref to another Battlestar (possible new epsiode spoiler)
reference to another pre-war battlestar (RDM) which might be in the serieshttp://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Valkyrie.

to see all Battlestar references (RDM & TOS)
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Battlestar.

Also another shipStealth star http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Stealth_Star

[Mox]

Thats the destroyed battlestar I refered to as well Edath, nice pic!
It looks like a original battlestar allright to me.

I'd say it's a fair bet the Athena would be too.
Also doesnt seem that far fetched to me that all battlestars would come in various tones and shades, much like modern war vessels who are delivered in batches and upgraded along their livespans accordingly which can often create significant differences in appearances along the way.

Its also referenced the Mercury class was top of the line and it seems reasonable to asume that between the Galactica and Mercury series 40 or so years, several subtypes were involved.

[Elffin]

You right... did Coxxon include a Colonial Defender in his list of ships.... have a look at this

http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Wedge-shaped_vessel

http://img239.imageshack.us/img239/9632/defender3xh.png

Suppose it could be used as an M6 class ship?

[Mox]

Yeah that one's included, it's actually pretty big..along the lines of a M7 vs the M1/M2 hybrid Galactica would be scale-wise.

[Raouls]

another set of ships for referance. possible offshoot mod?

http://wolfsshipyard.mystarship.com/BSG.html

[hawkbs]

This is also a good reference for ships and I have the Helios that is listed here as it was in the HW BSG Mod but no textures for it.
http://www.shipschematics.net/bsg/

On a side note Sci Fi Channel has also announced a spin off series called Caprica so Im surethere will be more ships to reference when that comes out also.

Little bit of trivia also for people who dont know Athena was Adama's daughter in TOS

[hawkbs]

Info on the Valkyrie here
http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/Valkyrie

[Mox]

Not much to go by but from the topview, someting like this?
Still very very early WiP, obviously needs lots of work...just a quicky for a rough shapecheck:


http://img107.imagevenue.com/loc543/th_69732_BSV_1_122_543lo.jpg (http://img107.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=69732_BSV_1_122_543lo.jpg)

[Raouls]

Front portion doesnt look right. the back landing bays need to be wider, And DAMN MOX, Do you like never sleep?

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b100/Maliboo00/Screens/po2.jpg

http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b100/Maliboo00/Screens/po6.jpg

[Mox]

I know, it was a ROUGH shape check! :)
TBH, I dont realy like the model so don't count on me going at it for the time being...and I'm pretty sure someone will do a much better version anyways in the meantime.

Hawkbs, any word on that Raptor with Zoic textures?
I'd sure like to give that one a crack next.

[Raouls]

I like the style it looks more of a Fast Battlestar built for speed.

[hawkbs]

With the Raptor Ive been doing some heavy research on its armaments and got hold of Virtuadub to go through some of the episodes I have recorded. The Raptor in Exodus 2 has got hardpoints on its outer wingtips
2 hardpoints under each wing and also accrording to Battlestarwiki has two fuselage harpoints on the sides of its body.
If you havent got Virtuadub its opensource on sourceforge. Worth it for this kind of stuff.
In the video I can clearly see the Raptor with cannons on its outer wingtips and carrying missiles under its wings however I cannot see anything on the sides of its body unless its those holes at the front of the fuselage on each side. Anyone got any other info Id really appreciate it too.

[Elffin]

Found this on the sci fi site. I knew it existed but searching on the site for this info is difficult.

http://www.scifi.com/battlestar/ships/ships/


Importantly it gives the official dimensions off the ships and produces a screen which (according to them) is to scale. (basestar is smaller in picture for some odd reason than BSG)

Useful(?) info about the individual ships is also displayed...

[DarkWrath]

Actually if you look in Exodus part 2 you will see when Pegasus crashes into the basestar that's almost double the size of the basestar. And take into consideration that Pegasus is 1.5 bigger than BSG.

[Mox]

Thats done for increased drammaticness Darkwrath, Both Pegasus and Galactica are considered to be smaller then Basestars yet nowhere in the series there is footage backing the sizecharts up with concrete evidence on this.

All in all it seems along the seasons the two have grown towards eachother all the more and are on average at about a 1(Battlestar) to 1.5(Basestar) in size ratio.

[hawkbs]

Mox check this one out! This is in the series and is part of the fleet.

Interasting.

[Elffin]

Celestra - nice looking model downloadable......

Raptor - downloadable

Pic - someone on this site has been busy - pic uses coxxons and few others models - lovely Ragnar station
http://www.scifi-meshes.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/1786/cat/503

[Mox]

I have no id if I can convert these since the Celestra is in Lightwave 8.3.
Its also mentioned there's no model in the Celestra package.
I'll have a look ;-)

[DarkWrath]

As long as it doesn't have more than 60.000 polies , you can. Use Milkshape as a intermediary program for converting.

[Mox]

If theres no model in the package, I'm pretty sure total polycount will be way below 60.000 :lol:

[DarkWrath]

Sorry , didn't read that part :D Take care as Milkshape 3d is pretty... unstable... I had to export 10 times before it stopped crashing at the last part.

[Mox]

Highly doubtfull I'll use the mesh anyways since Ive already got the one from Coxxon which comes with far better textures...and someting says me before I have this model mapped it's new year for sure.
What can I say... 8)

[Mox]

I give up.
I can't find a single program able to convert that fraking maya mesh into someting 3dsmax can import.
I have tried Milkshape, Rhino, Deepexploration and then some.
6 Hours on the road and I'm fed up.
If someone happens to know a trick I'm all ears cause this looks like one sweet mesh...for one cause it's the only mesh of a Raptor with an actuall cockpit already modelled.

Note: In theory Deep Exploration should have done the trick but since it can't cope with my Maya Trial Install it ends up emptyhanded too.

[Stevio]

i thought 3dsmax can import *.mb meshes?

i think i saw it once file -> import... i'm sure i saw *.mb on the list :?

[Mox]

Sure, sent me a maxscene of the imported Maya mesh in the next hour and I believe you.

I bet there's a obscure plugin around somewhere, but I couldnt find it...then again, I suck at finding usefull stuff.

[hawkbs]

Hehe should have asked me about that Raptor Mox as I trolled the web for countless hours. In the end I emailed karl the author and here was his response.

there is already a file to make it compatible with the most 3d software. You will find it here: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/3d-wips/2370-raptor-2.html?highlight=raptor

Only problem is that you need to refit the textures and there are a lot of polyerrors because of the conversation.
Actually i dont have the time to fix that in v.1 but it will surely be fixed within release v.2

bye
Karl

I checked and if I remember someone uploaded it in OBJ format but as Karl said a few things are missing and you have to redo the texture mapping.
There is a program that does convert Maya files but unlike all the converters I came across you MUST have Maya installed also.

[Mox]

Hahaha, that so figures :)
Got it and will look at it to see how big the hurt is gonna be at redoing the lost stuff. Thanks Hawkbs, as always your help is greatly appriciated!

[Mox]

88k POLY'S vs just 2K for Coxxons mesh...looks like there's some work todo.

Now this could provide an interesting mission!

[Elffin]

Been investigating where Coxxon got some his designs..

Tubeship:RDM (notice the viper MKVII) Could this officially be the 'Tanker Bird' refueling ship?

Pylon ship - AGF71 'mining ship' located left. The Geminon traveller in the pic is distinctly different colour wise - I am aware that the 'Kimba Huta' makes use of the Geminon traveller model and this pic is from the RDM series - notice the Raptor. Name of 'pylon' ship is yet to be confirmed on BSG wiki. Had a look at the Kimba Huta - it retains the distinct red markings of the Gemenon traveller. :?:

Daru mozu (refinery) - notice also 2 versions of the 'mining ship' Majahual. Another mining ship named in the series is called the 'Monarch'.

EDIT:
i) The Blue Gemenon Traveller is officialy the 'Gemenon Traveller'. The more familiar red version is the 'Kimba Huta'
ii) There are at least 3 similarly designed mining ships

[Mox]

Thats awesome R&D Edath, well done!
I Imagine if we were to have some of these shots and whatever more we can get our hands on for reference material, we're halve way there to creating the entire fleet to the best of our abilities.

I also see some shapes on the pics belonging to ships possibly still unknowns, or do I need glasses?

[Elffin]

Will anyone with any information regarding BSG ships please leave info in this forum so I can update the Depository.
Any help would be really appreciated!

If you believe that any info in the depository is incorrect please post the relevant info here..

Many thanks in advance O0

[Stevio]

It should be noted that Raiders have a sort of cockpit, BUT are not piloted by any cylon model,
as a bio-mechanical ship it has its own brain and other vital organs which allows it to pilot itself

also a note on those "UFO's"
BSG often drop what is known as "Easter eggs" in the series at random points

i.e. During the miniseries when Laura roselin (or however you properly spell her name :oops: )
is at the Doctors you will see through the glass roof the Serenity flying over head
Also during the miniseries i believe it is the first view of the fleet in flight, you will see in the top right corner the U.S.S Enterprise

i believe the picture in the civ depository is the corellian corvette from SW although i've never seen that egg before now there are many more but i can't remember them all

[Elffin]

Thanks Stevio.... Zoic seemed to have fun dropping in 'past' projects into the background.. hope season 3 gives us more clues regarding which ship model belongs to which name. There are about 72? civilian ships originally in total - while a few were destroyed along with Cloud Nine.
I believe there are a few more destroyed in season 3
The Passage - Adriatic disappears along with a few more

[Ice-Dragon]

hi there don't know if you've seen this one http://www.scifi-meshes.com/meshes/gallery/cygnus16.jpg and you can get the Battlestar Valkyrie model in 3dsmax 8 now and the Colonial Defender in untextured 3ds format form the same place

[Elffin]

Thanks Ice-dragon - I'm sure that 3d model can be downloaded as well!

always nice to have some other ships to consider (pre -Cylon attack)

Some of the guys on this site have produced really good BSG ships - i've got the Valkyrie and the Pegasus downloaded already.

If you have a look at animaniac's pics on the site, in one pics he's got a Ragnar Anchorage and in another a Resurrection ship - wonder if he'l release them for the mod?

Havn't seen the Defender....

[shadow3]

i am not sure if this has been posted but if it helps any i have just found this page full of bsg ships

http://www.shipschematics.net/cgi-bin/bsg/bsg.cgi?Official

love everything you are doing on this mod :D

[Ice-Dragon]

hi there don't know if you've seen this one http://www.scifi-meshes.com/meshes/gallery/cygnus16.jpg and you can get the Battlestar Valkyrie model in 3dsmax 8 now and the Colonial Defender in untextured 3ds format form the same place here is a different look at these ships http://www.scifi-meshes.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/2039/limit/last7 + new colonial defender pic http://www.scifi-meshes.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/1817/cat/503

[Elffin]

That's a nice looking defender - don't think it has been released by Steve Wilson yet - I'm quite sure that he also a very nice mining ship model created as well possibly created in lightwave.
EDIT - Textured Defender is created by Aniamaniac
There's a link here for anybody who wants to view and appreciate Steve wilson's models:
http://www.colonialfleets.com/forums/showpost.php?p=251092&postcount=59
To view/download models follow his link. - do read the legal stuff on Colonial fleets homepage.

'Deadly' (the X3 mod creator) has succesfully integrated another Steve Wilson BSG design - the 'Ranger' into X3
http://www.colonialfleets.com/forums/showpost.php?p=242339&postcount=28

If you woud like to viwe other interesting models try these.....

If you also look through the pics in sci-fi forum or colonial fleets, Animaniac has himself created a Ressurection ship (http://www.colonialfleets.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=330&s=0082875149bbcac929ebbe331d709e8b) and a Ragnar Anchorage (http://www.scifi-meshes.com/gallery/showphoto.php/photo/1786/cat/503) The Anchorage is a huge model compared to the Galactica but the Resurrection ship contains 3,4 Million polys and the Ragnar has 1,7 Million Polys - they would seriously require a lot of work to include them in the mod (or might be impossible?) - what do you think Darkwrath?

.I'm not sure he might have also created a nice Blackbird design as well.

The Btrl mod contains a nice Ragnar anchorage in one of their demos...

[Ice-Dragon]

this is not an Official BSG Ship but i just though i would bring it to your Attention http://battlestarcentral.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=547 and new look at the Cygnus class http://i34.photobucket.com/albums/d107/SonOfTed2/Ship-Cygnus-Class-1.jpg

[Syklon]

This site has excellent "screencaps" for all of season 1, which while a bit blurry for the fast motion stuff, still has some nice shots (The ones from "You can't go home again" and "Six degrees of Seperation" offer some especially nice shots of the raider, there is also some nice shots of the fleet in multiple episodes and of the Cylon mining base from "Hand of God")
http://galactica.emedian.net/esc.1.html

this page has screencaps for all seasons, though not as nice:
http://bsgmedia.org/gallery/index.php

[Elffin]

Just wan't to know how people think about the ships in the game.....

i) Do you want the mod to contain just the ships in the tv series?

or

ii) BSG series ships plus additional 'fan fiction' ones.

The fan fiction ships could be used in a pre-war scenario - so ships like the Cygnus class above (model aquired and sent to Darkwrath) and the one's that Raoul's has starting to create.

The 'cylon invasion' could be triggered by a certain mission obtainable only by rank?

What do you think?

[DarkWrath]

I would go for now with a few canon ships( BSG , Pegasus , a few colonial rag tag ships and the cylons) ... I just don't have time for everything and...

[Ice-Dragon]

i would have to agree with DarkWrath and just get the ships from the tv series for the moment, but keep looking for BSG Style ships that can be added later for the pre-war scenario. like this one http://www.phpbbplanet.com/shipyard/viewtopic.php?t=241&mforum=shipyard

[Elffin]

For those who are interested in admiring BSG designs - this a corvette class Ship intended for the BTRL mod

http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/124617-post18.html

Very nice!

[Ice-Dragon]

That is a nice ship Edath I wouldn't mind one of those, and what about a new cylon ship something like this http://wittswallpapers.com/BSG/bsg114.jpg and if a new battlestar is in order then this is a good one http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/attachments/3d-wips/24984d1170382024-polaris-class-battlestar-novorthos.jpg

[Stevio]

that battlestar looks really dull imo

[Raouls]

I personally would like to see a old and new mix of every class

[Syklon]

that battlestar looks really dull imo
It does say unfinished. :wink:

[Stevio]

yeah but still the "head" is somewhat uninventive imo
and the Tail thrusters are practically a pegasus rip-off :P

[Elffin]

Very nice compact design - i think the author called it a Jump star?
If the model/mesh gets released please inform me!!!

Ice-Dragon is this work?

http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/3d-wips/17258-my-first-3d-model.html#post155125

If it is carry on the good work!!!

In regards to programs try Gmax - its for free
http://www.turbosquid.com/gmax

With this program it is possible to export the model to X3

You might also need Dbox http://www.doubleshadow.wz.cz/

If you want to fiddle around with Bsg ships try downloading Coxxon's models
http://hosted.filefront.com/coxxon1/
The first set is what Hawkbs used. The second set includes more models, more detailed versions of some ships (Galactica and others), a Raptor as seen in Season 3 (from what I've read) and one or two of coxxon's own designs..

Please correct me if any of the above is incorrect - I'm not a modeller!

[Ice-Dragon]

just started modeling and i wanted to see what i could do so i've started in Sketchup Free and i'm looking to get hold of Hexagon 2.1 which will let me export in to 3DS and form there it can go to gmax and other programs.

[Elffin]

US/Canada Bsg viewers - season 3 ship name?

Apart form the Daru Mozu can some help me name a Tylium refinery?

It appears in Dirty hands from series 3
Is it named or just referred to as Tylium refinery?

You really have to admire the amount of work this guy did in order to produce his original set. Would love to know where Coxxon got his info!

Will place a link in the depository as well.

Season 3 : Maelstrom episode. Possible ship name? - looks like the Prometheus model to me - can anyone who has seen the episode confirm if it was named?

The gas planet in the Maelstrom is the grey cloudy one - what exactly is the coloured eye of the storm seen also in the episode?

[Admiral-Dyroi]

The colored eye is the EYE of kobol I thought?...i cant believe they kileld starbuck,i bet she is a cyclon now. :x


Please don't read this if you havent seen Maelstrom episode its graphic and i(a grown man) weeped...ok i didnt really but its still messed up dont read the spoiler if you havent seen it yet, it will ruin it for you.

[Ice-Dragon]

hi Edath just wanted to ask if you have the Colonial Raptor MKI model yet if not, you can get it here http://www.scifi-meshes.com/meshes/index.php?dlid=76

[Elffin]

Thanks Ice-Dragon, I'm sure I've downloaded that one and sent a copy of that to Darkwrath.. (been searching the net for any BSG models for months)
I remember also Mox having problems with that model a few months ago... don't know if he had any success.

If anyone does see anything interesting model wise please tell me! - if the model is in a Max format all the better.

@Darkwrath - Just wondering did Mox have/leave the Ragnar Anchorage mesh? I'm sure he ask me to find references for him in order to texture it.

[DarkWrath]

99.99999999999999999999999999999% sure he didn't...

[OmegaLykos]

First I have to say gradulations on being the first modification for a game that's actually had me wanting to register on their forums.

Jokes aside, I have to admit I'm rather content being a forum lurker, but something has let me rather curious and this being the only real way I believe to find the answer... Erm... sorry rambling on now. To get to the point:

I was wondering about the fighters in this mod. I'm looking quiet forward to it and also the regular Xtended. But do you plan to only have the vipers from the series, or include the various other fighters from things like fan fiction and the likes? Like say the various fighters on Battleclinic and the likes. I have to admit I took a rather liking to the idea of having more choices than just a Viper MKII or MKVII. Even a Viper MKI though outdated could serve some purpose, beyond my perhaps selfish simple wants of extra fighter choices. Lol

Last but Not Least Thank you for your time and any answers you can give.

-OmegaLykos

Moved since it was discussing Ships - Edath

[Elffin]

Welcome OmegaLykos, At this moment in time I think will the mod will concentrate initially on the ships seen in the RDM series.

I think there is a German BSG mod (beta release) which combines the TOS & RDM ships.

Here's a post which gives you some links to videos and downloadable files:previous post (http://www.thexuniverse.com/viewtopic.php?p=29303#29303)
It's still based in the normal X-universe and for some reason the ship 'names' don't appear properly (could be a language problem?) The xml file should be placed under scripts.

[Elffin]

Ship variant - Season 3 Followed up possible rumors of a variant regarding the Viper MkVII - if you'd like to compare the original model with the pics taken from Maelstrom episode place underneath as variant. Does everybody else agree? - I won't see this episode for a few more weeks. The nose section is certainly different

[Elffin]

Thanks Ice-Dragon - the pics confirm it. I also believe the Basestars have changed in Season 3. Zoic isn't involved with BSG anymore so there could be more variants (like the Raptor) produced by the in house team. Will try to update the Basestar depository post soooon.

Edit - done!

Here is some nice WIP on the sci-fi forums..

Looks very nice indeed! :)

Colonial one (http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/3d-wips/23516-bsg-colonial-one.html)

[Elffin]

:cry: The guy who created the Colonial One (above) has applied to join BTRL even though I made a subtle request for his 'talents' (model) : BTRL (http://www.game-warden.com/forum/showpost.php?p=70331&postcount=111)

I think being polite and courteous is not working! :kapow: :mrgreen:

Anyway here is a for TOS ship models.....

Tos Models (http://www.battlestargalactica.com/cgidownloads/models_001.htm)

THe 'ship of lights' could replace the Ufo in the mod :P

[Elffin]

Aquired permission from iOSYS (Sci-fi meshes) for his Battlestar Talos model (3ds):
http://img263.imageshack.us/img263/9954/talosyx0.th.jpg (http://img263.imageshack.us/my.php?image=talosyx0.jpg)

The model weighs in at 450,000~ polys. I usually don’t go that high, as it becomes difficult to really do anything with a model that high, even if my computer can handle it, but a Battlestar demands detail. That begin said, some sections are less detailed than others. The cleft inside the engines has little detail, the underside has plating, but less fine detail than above, and the insides of the flight pods lack any significant detail, like runways and such.
That being said, the textures should look good close up, and from most views, you can get in close and the model still looks good, especially if you’ve got a dark, dramatic, Galactica style lighting rig set up.

Thanks iOSYS!

[-Mox-]

450K Polys..Oh boy :skeptic:

The ship looks wonderful though!

[Elffin]

450K Polys..Oh boy :skeptic:

Yeah its large... but a lot of the low poly model makers get 'drawn' into BTRL. :cry:

Maybe its worth trying to contact Sastrei who is a member of the BSG FLeet Commander mod and try to establish an exchange of materials (my .... music?) He's working on a nice Prometheus model (in blender).

[Elffin]

Mox - should have told you we also gained permission to use the [spoiler:444f5cbcd9]Valkyrie[/spoiler:444f5cbcd9] model produced on Sci-fi meshes by Infinity 238 - this is quite a while ago
This is the same model Hawkbs has been working on (went on public release). Interestingly there are no viper launch tubes - flak cannons are based on the side of the pods - see depository.

[-Mox-]

Great stuff!

What about the meshes(and textures if there are any per mesh), are those somewhere to be found? Oh and if it's got no Viper Launchbays then what are those thingies meant to be on the lower-front ends of the pods? :P

Edit: Oh crap, I see what you mean now...silly me.

[-Mox-]

I Think I see the launchtubes on the overall-dimensions picture.
Look closely between the pods-turrets, you can see triangle-shaped eh...shapes.

IF those are the tubes then she is a good deal larger then I'd imagined her to be.

FYI i've downloaded all the following models which are in general release... all in 3ds (sent most of the models to Darkwrath via e-mail a few months ago)
All of Coxxons models (v2)
- Battlestar Talos
- Battlestar Pegasus (aldrickgs)
- Cygnus Defender (available from sci-fi meshes)
- TOS Shuttle (does make at least 2 appearances in the new series)
- Cylon Raider (max 5)
- 2 different versions of Viper MKII (not including Coxxon's)
- Viper MKVII (not Coxxon's)
- TOS Cylon Tanker - which 'could' give us a guide when designing the new series freighter.

[-Mox-]

If that dimension chart it accurate then either the V... doesnt support Viper launches or the Launchbays are modelled too small (they are halve the size of the ones on most of the other ships where the ones from Peg and Galactica seem about right in size to eachother).

[Elffin]

It does seem to be bit odd that it doesn't have any tubes since it is a model between the Galactica and Pegasus..

Possibly the ship had a different role [spoiler:b0083257fa]it was involved with the Stealthstar ship[/spoiler:b0083257fa]

The triangular thingies are definatly the launchtubes.
No Battlestar could go without those probably.
Perhaps they are modelled a little too small..seems not so far fetched considering their wasn't a good angular shot of them at all.

Don't think there will be any problems when edited:

Infinity238
When Its released, feel free to modify it to your harts content. The only stipulation is If I like what you do to it you have to give me yours as well.

Hi!

This ship looks like light cruiser or frigate class - a missing link between fighters and big guns. She’s a real beauty.

I would be a good thing to put this model into a game. It would be used in many roles: long range reconnaissance ship, hit and run raider for disrupting economy or fleet support ship.

Has anybody seen or made a similar Cylon class model?

[Elffin]

Havn't seen any 'different' non canon Cylon ships/models.... though I have seen different Zoic designs/sketches of Basetars and raiders when they were at the planning stage before the mini series.

[krm398]

I see the term Modeling here a lot does that mean actually making ship models to photograph digitally or strickly computer modeling? I was wandering if a plastic model, well defined and acurate could be digitaly photographed and then converted. (I used to do plastic models, but havent for a while, the model, camera thing just seemed possible.)

[Elffin]

Strictly computer modelling, The models developed have a mesh and a texture.
Would be cool if we could scan 3d objects though!

[apollo]

My uni has a 3d scanner! It's used for er...I dunno...Occasionally by the local hospital...dunno what else.

[AlphaCentauri]

Hmmm just a quick idea on the fan fiction ships as there arent any M7 or M6 size ships maybe some of them could cover those classes, was just a thought anyway.

Some of those are mine, the one that i posted in a separate entry about the new type, i will see if i can get it clearer, but no guarantees. I also have found pics like the ortho of pegasus and valkyrie at various places around the web. So i will fill out that form and i will see if i can get any other screen caps. :)

[Elffin]

I-D found this pic a while ago ....

Have a look for a lot of ships not yet named...

[ML]

Isn't there only one Astrol Queen?

[Elffin]

Lee Stringer seems to have placed two astral queens for effect... (think he was one of the few people who might have been involved with the TOS and RDM series.

One interesting thing is that there are 4 colonial movers with different colours..

I reallly like this odd shaped ship that appears in the main titles (season 2)

[ML]

Is that pic from when the fleet is jumping to Ragnar Anchorage in order to escape the Cylon's? I think it might be, I could be wrong though... If so do you remember seeing that ship jump?

Because I believe I may have found it again in the scene where the raider's are about to destroy the ships that didn't have FTL drives in the miniseries. It's a bit unconclusive but the shape is very similar.

Here have a look
245

edit: Than again maybe not?
This scene is from Reserrection Ship Part 1 from season 2...
247

Okay I know the first image is unique to the miniseries but the second may not be. I remember seeing a lot of CG scenes re-used in different episodes, which is common in sci-fi flicks. That way they don't have to do a whole crap-load of different ones. I remember Star Trek Voyager did it quite a bit.

What do you guys think?

[Elffin]

I think its also in the section of clips leaving Ragnar in the mini series.....

Some models may have FTL and some ai'nt (botanical ship seems to have variants)

I'd like it to be in the mod.

[ML]

Yah, it's a pretty unique looking ship. I'll keep poking around for more details on it. ;)

[Ice-Dragon]

(botanical ship seems to have variants)

There are lots of variants of the botanical ship. some have ftl's and others don't some have the botanical pods and others don't.

I'd like it to be in the mod.
In the mod you say a couple of good pics and you might be surprised;)

[ML]

Ice-dragon, do you plan on making the Brenik?

[Ice-Dragon]

Remind me which ship that is ;)

[ML]

It's the military ship that Saul Tigh served on in the first Cylon war I believe. It's kind of more like a support ship.

I've only found some pics of miniature models of it so here (http://bp3.blogger.com/_F3uD_QuVoWo/ReiMqpijh2I/AAAAAAAAAAM/ooHhX22reJ0/s1600-h/Brenik+Thor+Valkyrie+036.jpg).

[apollo]

Oh I like that! Nice find!

[ML]

Oh I like that! Nice find!

Only problem is is that sure it's from the show, but it's not from the second Cylon War and doesn't have anything to do with the BSG story except that was one of Tigh's pre-galactica ships.

But yes, way fraking cool lookin, yah?

Really like Animaniac's work...

He tends to make really detailed high poly models. His ragnar is about 2 million polys...

Cheers Danny

[DannyD]

Have been happy to help:)

I love this (http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/attachments/3d-wips/44211d1197100217-minerva-class-battlestars-andromeda_orthos.jpg) battlestar! A bit of a futuristic battlestar look, yah? O0

It's a very original design but too curvy for me, I don't like the circular central part.

[ML]

hehe It's kind of over-gunned too...

[Elffin]

Mystery ship identified.....

I-D spotted this..

http://img141.imagevenue.com/loc38/th_05553_6_122_38lo.jpg

and that its a fan made model by Steve Wilson called the Ranger..
and then I't reminded me ... that Deadly has imported it into x3..
http://www.flatrock.org.nz/wolf/images/X2_Pix/D_Ranger3.jpg

[ML]

Alright! That's one more down! :)

Here's a better look (http://www.shipschematics.net/bsg/images/colonial/support_ranger.jpg) at the thing...

[apollo]

It's an interesting design! Civvy?

[Elffin]

I'd assume its a civy in the series... the model does have cannons tho...

[Ice-Dragon]

I'd assume that it's an ex-military ship like the defender class.

In it's Civvy role it could be a transport ship, just an idea.

[ML]

Or another ship to defect with Roslen. There were multipile ships that could carry missiles, but only one was named of course. Just a though... ;)

[lostami]

this screenshot is from another mod for another game (a RTS type game ^^) I did not make it or anything just hope this may help ^^..

Also can you tell me if those are the true forms of the other battlestars?


http://screenshots.filesnetwork.com/16/news2/33266_1.jpg

[Elffin]

Very interesting... always nice to see other mods work...

I quite like the huge Battlestar next to the Pegasus - nice concept. :)

[ML]

Nah, I think the big looks a bit cut and pasted together. The one to the right of the Peg looks a lot like the Peg from the original series.

[Elffin]

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder Azn :lol:

@Lostami... any success in regards to the bullet fx?

[lostami]

http://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bucket2uy4.jpg

I found this in of of your sticky threads!

Is this a newer galactica model then the one hawkb has put on XSP Database Listing?

i mean this new one looks MUCH better more detailed i must say :lol:!

[ML]

I'm not sure exactly, but I beleive so.

[apollo]

Yup. They are two different models. That is the one this mod will use. Glad you like it!

[xeon_1]

Damm that one is nice

Ever thought of releasing it seperatly?

[Elffin]

@ xeon_1 - cheeky! :lol:

nice to see you back around xeon .. Apollo's done a lot of improvements since then as well...

so it will be worth waiting for. :)

[apollo]

Heheheh, definately! ;)

[ML]

With karate chop action flightpods! ;)

[lostami]

But really guys simply breath-taking no joke!

I can wait all this year if I have to, (But lets face it I'd like it sooner ^^) so take all the time you need and give us a great mod to brag about!

[apollo]

Thanks lostami! Appreciate that!

[Draxis]

mother of god... that is an impressive model... Is it a carrier?

[Elffin]

Yes...

The model was created by Aldrickg and imported by Mox a long time ago...

see history in this thread...
http://www.thexuniverse.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453

Since then Apollo's redone the textures (got rid of the shine as seen in this very old development vid (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5rQ_Z9v7gs) and added other nice things to her...:-X

[Draxis]

very cool! When is the mod due out? I haven't been following this as much as i should apparently...

[ML]

I don't believe there's a set release date for either the beta or the actual mod.

[lostami]

Most people i'v talked to seem to be fed up with waiting but **** them i'm just happy to see such great work! :grin:

[apollo]

In ego style, it'll be out when it's ready ;)

It's a relatively small team working on the mod, so we're doing our best!

[lostami]

have you guys managed a better raptor mesh yet?

[Elffin]

Apollo's been redoing his original raptors... here's a naked one...
http://img141.imageshack.us/img141/6807/raptornl8.th.jpg (http://img141.imageshack.us/my.php?image=raptornl8.jpg)

[lostami]

oooh nice much better, and what about texture is it also going to be better?
the on the old one made it look worse then it really was ^^!

[apollo]

Yeah, it'll have a brand spanking new texture too! I think the original raptor was my first ever attempt at texturing, it shows eh ;) ?

[lostami]

to be true, ya, it looked like something from a game in the 90s

[rambo57]

hi just been looking round and must say you've got some nice models for this mod so great work i also would like to say that i've done a refit of the galatica in my spare time and came up with the SOLATIARE its the galatica with valkyrie engines added at the back, been thinking of doing something with the RANGER M6 to turn it into a streamlined battlestar

heres the SOLATIARE:

[tpower1980]

Great models !!...can`t wait to get my hands on these ships :)

Take your times to perfect this mod guys , as i rather eat a lasonia than some instant noodles , and thanks for the teaser !! ;)
