Subakh ul kuhar, Muad'Dib? (How are things, Muad'Dib?
)
Yeah, we never really got a sense of just where the guns were placed (just like there's no official word on ship length, and other aspects...at least for the classic Galactica), but I had a few ideas which I implemented on my battlestar.
The upper and lower guns we sometimes saw, I placed them in between the launch tube groups along the landing arms of the battlestar. Also, I think I placed a couple of turrets in those little notches on either side of the battlestar's head section. And also, decided to place some of them on the support pylons, and in pairs at the upper and lower/fore and aft of the landing arms. Placed a few on the forward and aft of the crossbar underneath the battlestar, the bar that connects the lower center (which I think has been pretty popularly designated as the pilot barracks). Even placed a couple on the bridge module itself, to prevent suicide attacks from Cylon Raiders that might try to go for the bridge.
And then of course, there are the big guns that I decided to run with.
