Love that friggin ship! Missile Battlestar! Like the AEGIS cruisers from the USN.
Ron Moore's said a couple times in his podcast that he likes expanding the mythos. It's possible that the colonies' mythology includes all major polytheistic religions. Or that the different colonies have adapted different names for the same gods/heroes.
Woow Infinity, I have to agree with the rest that you did a great job in making a ship that's pretty detailed while having so little reference. We won't blame you for using a bit of imagination in the spots where you couldn't go off of the reference pics
Great job, I think I'll donwload it to see if SketchUp can handle her, so that I can use her as scaling for my own Trident

I'm about 90% sure that image is a Photoshop from one of the first "Pegasus threads" I know I've seen that image before and wish i could remember which thread specifically or who posted it. But if anyone knows for sure I'd like to know as well.
what i want to know is why she would want to retract her pods. the ends of the pods arn't covered or the pods are retracted into the hull like Titan and Galactica.
i did take a closer look at the 2nd pic and it does look a bit iffy.
Trust me if you've seen a 3d pegasus its quite obvious that the pods dont fit like that. The are too long, the backs of the pods are very close to the engines when extended.
Pegasus 101% didn't have retractable flight pods. The third joint is different design then the first two which make it impossible to move
I did that chop a while back, someone thought they retracted, I just wanted to show them what they'd look like if they did. I also pointed out that the third pylon was completely different from the first and second. Heh, didn't think this pic would show up again. :runs:

Uh, there was a server crash none too many months ago and everyone had to re-register, a lot of people are still "nuggets" post crash

Lol, I did do it, was a quicky job just to see what the ship would look like, so there was no need to be descreet about the chop. I posted that pre-crash for someone(can't remember who for the life of me) that was doing the beast for the first time on the forum. He needed ref pics, so I uploaded some I had along with the chop.
Hmm, so being a nugget means I can't do photochops? /shrugs

Beautiful job, really sweet. I love these massive big ships with lots of detail. I usually work on smaller ships, must take my courage in hand some day and try something like this. Well done!
Just wondering what people's opinions are - did the Valkyrie have any 'launch tubes'?
I would imagine that it at least had a few, especially to launch the stealth fighter. It wouldn't make any sense for it to launch from one of the launch bays like a Raptor. Fighters need more of a boost when launching, like on an aircraft carrier with their catapulting system. You don't see transports being catapulted from the decks. At least that's my logic...:p

you also mentioned that Pagasus does not have retractable flight pods. she infact does.
here are some pics to prove it. i was qite puzzled myself.
i did take a closer look at the 2nd pic and it does look a bit iffy.
i never realised how long they were untill i looked at this a second time.
Just some pretty photoshop work my friend. They were officially denounced a long time ago.

even a complete novice can pull off some spectacular stuff.
remember, anything is possible.

Isn't S03E05 collaborators? What ancient Warship?
