Me and bsg recon decided to make a 2d thread on battlestar galactica ship designs on the 2D forum.

now this is open for all artists to post away designs and give comments and advice to others, i hope that this thread will give more experienced 3D artitst design ideas and perhaps one of our desings will be made to 3d if you are unable to do it yourself for whatever reason.

also it would be nice to have a specs and a little story about the ships you post.

i will be posting a few of my own ships along with other forum members ships which have inspired me in my designs.

so here are mine.

Warstar Goliath

goliath6bm4.th.jpg

Battlestar Triton

triton5fh4.th.jpg
Supportstar Candiria

saosin2zn2.th.jpg
all are unfinnsihed and other views of them are in progress. if you want specs and a biography of these ships i will be more than happy to put them down for you.

anyways enjoy.

    Mr_Killface and I have started a new 2D Thread at SFM to draw in new BSG (both old and new) Ship Designs. We hope to get people's new Battlestar designs as well as any other designs. We want to make this thread a long living thread to show off BSG deigns as well as =having new an different designs to stimulate artists creativity.

    2D design are preferred but all BSG deigns are welcome we hope to have support ships, fighter design including precolonial unification designs.

    Just an idea for Battlestar i had a while back. Wanted to go for a more original series feel than nuBSG.

    Rough Concept:
    Galactica1.jpg

    much more refined idea for da head (not the toilet head the 'HEAD' head :rolleyes: )

    WELL THANK you mate ;) :lol:

    Just willing to fly the flag for the old school ship that suffered preatty badly from a greeble infection :p :rolleyes:

    Maybe once i've finished the Illustrious animation i'll re-work the design and build it in 3D :cool:

    Choo, that looks like it has elements from Starship Troopers Roger Young. And that is not a bad thing, what with all the BSG Star Trek blends we've been seeing it's nice to see something in a different direction.

    Any chance of someday seeing this along side the Illustrious?
  • bsg reconbsg recon0 Posts: 0Member
    actually it resembles the modular ship design of the original Pacifica and resembles to degree Eric Chu's 2003 design. I especially like the landing bays and supports of Choo design, it is perfect for one of the RPG efforts that I am writing. :thumb:

    Here is my ship the Battlecruiser Titan. I built it almost 2 years ago now... might have been longer than that at this point. It is a cross between a heavy cruiser and a light carrier. Hope that you like it and if you are interested in a little back-story and details about it you can follow this link. http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/2d-wips/3475-colonial-battlecruiser-titan-ship-bsg.html

    i have a new design.

    she was based on a Battlestar's Chasis but insted of flightpods she had gun platforms and enough room inside for alot of ammunition.

    SiegeStar Ares

    Thanks Safe. :thumb: Like i said i was going for something a bit different than ribbing and a whale. Something more boxy and cargo like.

    Oh, and heres an early picture of the Illustrious comapred to the bucket, so the Rough picture would properly be about the same size.

    BTW: how are you Verse ships going? :confused:

    er.....sorry recon, but if i did build her i 3D i'd rather it stayed private and didn't become an RPG or anything like that. Again sorry :(

    and hey mirage, i remeber the Titan. Cute little ship :D ( Cute? :mad: :p )

    No problem Choo I just really liked design it won't ever enter RPG just meant the concept of a BSR from another Galaxy. Have you looked at Larsen's Battlestar designs, They are awesome.

    Here are the pics for tonight from aFarquard's Graphics and Steve Wilson's collections

    they do have armour, most of the plating you see is just protecting soft spots on the ship,

    the armour is actually quite thick, seems galactica had a nuke launched at it and had 4 basestar's fire all they got at her and she still works.

    Cool thread.

    Jupiter
    Europa
    Nathalia

    Those ones rock, except the thusters for the Europa are massively over sized and placed so the ship can't make normal maneuvers.

    Moore said Galactica's armor is supposed to be incomplete because it was being decommissioned but that the model makers messed up and made certain details as if armor would never be placed in those certain spots, such as around the PD guns. Except that armor would work around those location with openings in the armor just for the guns. I think armor doesn't work under the big guns on the Galactica, though.

    Here are some different types of landing pods and and pylons that support the landing pods. Remember different types of bays and pylons can be used on Battlestars you aren't limited to the Galactica or the Pegasus designs (either in the TOS or new series. Tomorrow, I'll have some different pics showing the number of bays per Battlestar. Future posts will include different types of Large Ships (Siegestars, Strikestars, Minestars, etc) and Support Ships, Smaller escort ships, etc.

    Previously posted designs include the Stevenson TOS Gunstar and Choo1701 unnamed Battlestar and Eric chu's unused Galactica 2003 design. Designs are limited by your imagination only. All of these designs are still Realistic (an important Factor}.

    Actually, the Galactica is quite well armored. As noted before, it has stood up to nuclear warheads and a continuous barrage by four basestars. The ribs are not some sort of structural mounting point for armor plates, but rather are designed to limit blast damage when the ship takes a hit. It's actually much more effective than regular, flat armor plates.

    There is ADDITIONAL armor plates over certain areas of the ship to provide a level of extra protection.

    man Farquard cracks me up . . . he says he uses Max and maya but really his stuff is just lame photoshop mash-ups
    I still like him though.
