Impressive Ice, very impressive. The Protector class looks particularly nasty. I bet it can go toe to toe with the majority of vessels it comes up against.
Im loving the design of the station and the fighter is awsome, would not like to take on a wing of them bad boys. the station is awsome and knowing what you have got planned for her, she is going to be big and tought.
And lastly a new fighter ( Based off the A10 warthog )
The Viper A12
I hope to have this finished really soon;)
I like the fighter but I see a few things that I worry about. The fan discs in the engines look pinched because of the intakes narrowing so much. Perhaps moving the fan discs deeper into the engine housings would alleviate that.
Second is the nose guns. They look like they are just tacked on right now (just barrels and the rest of the workings just not there). Maybe having some fairings stretching out behind them a little would make them look real (like the machinery that should work them is actually there underneath the fairings.).
Otherwise I really like the nod to the A12 you have created!
Hello:
That is quite an interesting update! I am very interested to see how the Picon Fleet HQ progress.... specially since I love to see your pics of your stations with ships docked.
Keep it up! :thumb:
DAMN. Love your designs. Starbases, shipyards, HQ's. *jaw drops* The only nitpick is that the "outpost" (as it's way more industrial looking) should be the weapons research facility, & the weapons research center should be the outpost (as it looks like it has an arboretum dome on top.) Just my $0.02.

I know what up mean, I wanted the Outpost to look more industrial because it's on the outer edge of the colonies and wouldn't get regular looking after:D as for the arboretum dome on the weapons research facility, you do have to have somewhere where the scientists can relax:D
I have now finished building the Viper A12
Here are some pic's of the A12 with the adv mk6 viper
Great update....I am concerned that the destroyer would get outgunned by the protecter. Is it time to redo the big guns on the destroyer? Or is there perhaps another reason for the protector to have the larger galactica type cannons?
Can you pretty please do 1280 X 1024 so I can display your work?
He just posted all 5 views. If you're so inclined, you can do a simple cut-and-paste in paint or something.
Overall, kickass designs. I could definitely see the need for a dedicated CAS aircraft in the Colonial Fleet. The A-10 is a good platform to use as a baseline.
Hello:
I cannot wait to see more either. Ice-Dragon is always making great stuf for BSG, and we can all imagine how was Colonial Space during it's best time of glory.
Maybe what we also need to see is more Cylon models, after all, they are also a civilization, and a space-faring one so I think that could make for very interesting concepts.
Keep it up!

I'll be adding the Calactica type guns to the destroyer and updating it soon:D
Here's my new viper for you in 1280 x 1024
I'd bring those engines in a little closer. On the A-10, I could understand the large wings, despite them conflicting with what we know of Colonial design philosophy, due to the many hardpoints. But with a troop shuttle/ drop ship, no such need really exists.

great work keep it up.
It's been a few weeks since I updated this thread ( sorry about that been a little busy )
First off a new ship.

And lastly a new fighter ( Based off the A10 warthog )

The Picon Fleet HQ reminds me of umm..that huge thing...from Homeworld.
I love the fighter, and wow those are a lot of missiles!
I might have been inspired by that:p

Here is a little something I started today, it's based off the Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey
I hope you like it:D
I'll be adding the Calactica type guns to the destroyer and updating it soon:D
