PROGRESS REPORT:
Ok....so I went and pulled a George Lucas of sorts.
Even though my version of the mighty battlestar looks heavily armed...all we really see are her anti-capital ship turrets....her pulsars if you will. I went back and modified my model to include the anti-starfighter cannons that dot and line the battlestar. I think I lost count of just how many I put on her, but I put them in sensible places. Now she looks even more battle ready than before. So I reshot a few of the Galactica shots to introduce the updated version of my model.
Don't worry....there aren't gonna be any "who shot who first" scenarios. And there definitely won't be any cutesy critters, mechanical or otherwise. (Sorry, Muffit.
