hi people.
how about a gunstar ?
a real piece of space artillery.
a real space gun that fires bullets larger than a viper.
a real sniper long range gun mounted on a spaceship.
a gun that could blow a basestar in a few shots.
just a gun alone on a spaceship (its no battlestar. its not made for closeup combat and wouldnt have AA or nukes or turrets).
I buy it.
what do you think?

its meant to be larger than the statics front canons of the pegasus.
its space artillery. it shouldnt be on a battlestar.
the magazine will be on the side.
the barrel should be a bit larger than a galactica flight pod. (in large, not length)
the ship itself should be a little bigger than my blinkspark paralax if you remember that one.
i like small specific ships.
one day, to help this one, i'll do a shieldstar.
this thing is the guide that ejects empty rounds into space.
Lets see it finished
that how i would make space artillery.
5 of these far from a battlefield, shooting at cylon basestars while battlestars detachements are on the flight deck, waiting to be at fire range.
or, coupling it with a space awacs and make a real space sniper.
and a real light. it was only the GI.
it still doesnt have so much details. but they will come.
edit : a full shot
im kinda stucked with the configuration
i roughed 3, but im open to suggestions.
i dont want it to be symetrical. the other side will be a small landing/cargo bay
(just enough room for 4-5 raptors to fit in.)
something like this?
Cruiser - SFS Suricata --- Freighter - SFS "Crate"
the tube is not all of the gun. its just a visual mark. but i'll boost the guns proportions anyway.
cause like this, with the fuel, ammunitions and cargobay, i dont know where the crew will operate and sleep.
so everything a little bigger and the gun a little longer.
red thing is a viper for scale comparaison
ribbing the beast, and tweeking the belly
i offset the gun slightly on one side, in order to stick a huge hubble type sniperscope.
the vipers give the seize.
the ship is 6 vipers height and the gun 4
the sniperscope.
a kind of huge hubble telescope belly mounted.
what do you think? too big? too small?
next : the RCT.
i need 3 kind or rotation trusters.
macro, micro and nano.
macro for general navigation/manoeuvres
micro for aiming at "close" range
and nano or the long range tweeking
im too far to bite
Cheers,
Nick
i'll do other types, but this is the seize.
a few AA guns... i supose i could add some here and there, but if a squad of raiders aproch it, i dont think it will live long... specially with nukes...
but it may make the crew feel safer
huge bullets like this are far cheaper to build than a viper
and a lot more destructive than a viper could ever be
