Sorry to get anyone hopes up I am looking for some sod's.  Ive been kinda bored lately, and was looking for some BSG stuff to play with. So what I am missing(or atleast can't find) are:

1, Battlestar Glactica (found one, but it seems to be missing textures)

2, an origional Base Star. (this one isn't really needed, it would just be cool)

3, An origional Cylon Raider.  (the bomber one from the new series would work too, but I think they were the same)

Yeah, It seems that battlestar Armada is still up and running, and they have all the good stuff, So I guess we will have to wate for it to be finished.  From the looks of things, it should be done some time this year, but I'm not sure.

I am also looking for these sods lol. And to be honest Im not  impressed with the battlestar sods Ive found so far..I think Im gonna take a crack at making an original cyclon basestar though.

I found a really crappy model of the BSG, but it is missing some textures. 

Whats really strange is that I was looking through the textures and half of them are really great, the other half are the ones it seems to actually use which are streched, missing, and just really bad.  Found it in freyrs mod.

Im surprised no one has made an original cylon baseship yet....actually no im not cuz most of the guys probly dont remember the original series....Hell I even looked for some high poly meshes and only found one and its in lightwave format so i cant even look at it for inspiration and direction....Anyone know of where I can find nice 5 sided shots of the cylon baseship from the orignial series? Im gonna make it I think....it will take some time....but Im gonna do it....

What about The BSG?!?!?  We have a Valkyrie, and a Pegasus, but no galactica.    I can still only find one, so this kinda stinks, but I will live.

already tried to google for "blueprints" + cylon basestar?

like?

Cylon (Basestar Mk-I)

o/?
I don't think you need more, because of the symmetry of the model

actually the symetry is proving to be a pain right now lol....im just doing roughing of the major polygons for now and playing around with whats gonna work best......basicly what I could use are nice shots...

such as this

I'm not much of a fan of BSG but there's a few on Armada 2 Files.

Cylon Base Star
Cylon Raider
Battlestar (closest i could find)

I guess you know the poly limit for the A2 engine;

I don't care about polly count, cus it really dosen't matter in FO.  And It would be awesome if I could get any version of the Galactica.

I already have those ships you linked to.  Sorry RCIX.

No actually I dont but my goal is too keep it under 1000 and see what happens......Im just goona make it for myself and then see if others like it....I gotta start somewhere and I figure might as well start with something I like and wish I had....I think there are some original series cylong fighters floating around somewhere.....

I think Ill zip of over to battlestar armada and see what they are up to.....But Im still a Fleet Ops man!!!!

you have to become a mamber to actually see all their threads.  Whats really cool, is they have shots of BSG ships(really good ones at that) in FO.   I really can't wate for that to come out, but like you said.  I will forever be a FO man.  Those ships will just end up in my game some how.

Yeah I joined their forum just to take a look around....nice battlestars so Im axiously awaiting the mods completion but Im also not holding my breath.

Just as an update with my basestar model WIP...The superstructure is done...and im at around 750 polys so far.....I can reduce a fair bit of that though to make room for the details and launch bays.....and just so people know Im going more for the look of the basestars in razor that destroyed the battlestar columbia.

Unfortunately Im becoming very busy outside of work for the time being....So honestly I have no clue when I will have the sod done....as the old modders saying goes....It will be done when its done....

Ok in case anyone gives a hoot.....

Ive been working on a BSG model to import into FO...I didnt feel like waiting on BSA so Im in the process of modeling a oringal series cylon basestar. I kinda came up with a back story to of how the cylons would make into FO but thats moot....basicly I just wanted to have a baseship from the original series cuz I think it be cool.....

Curently the model is in textureing and hardpointing stage. Ive done the basic modeling of it to the point that I care too...It comes in at 2200 polys aproximately. Though I could reduce it by maybe 200 polys....this is also my first attempt at modelling And I have learned a lot. Just so people know Im using ms3d to model this vessel....As I said the model is curently in texturing and hardpointing phase so its not ready for a release yet. I added basic nodes to the mesh so it show in storm3d....Im not happy so far with the texturing but it is a wip...Im ataching a screenshot so people who wish to see can do so and perhaps coment if they so like.
