Larson/Moyer Battlestar Galactica Movie Pictures
July 20, 2004 by Webmaster
Cylon Alliance owner Bishop37 discovered a site with pictures from the proposed Glen A. Larson/Todd Moyer movie production in 1999. The are a total of eight pictures from CGI artist Travis Price. The artist writes: "Shortly after the successful return of the STAR WARS trilogy, producer Todd Moyer (recent credits BARBED WIRE with Pamela Lee) decided that it was also time to bring back BATTLESTAR GALACTICA…this time as a full length feature. While lacking the financial and technological muscle of Industrial Light and Magic, what No Prisoners, Todd's company, did not lack was passion and fervor. Working tirelessly for four weeks straight, we crossed our fingers and hoped that the one and only film-out we made of the trailer would turn out right. With barely any time to ponder this, Todd was out the door - with film can in hand - ready to hustle the movie concept at the Cannes Film Festival. These are the textures that I did for the noble endeavor. While I haven't heard much of the project since then, I am still hoping that they will call me when they are ready to make the movie." These are some never before seen pictures, so be sure to check them out at DigitalCraftsman.com. Many thanks to Bishop37 for posting the report at the Cylon Alliance Forums.

July 20, 2004 by Webmaster
ColonialFleets.com webmaster thomas7g has posted brand-new renderings of his Warrior Girl tribute to Maren "Athena" Jensen. He reports: "I did it! This is mostly done. Had to redo the hands, some of the face, all the hair, and the helmet. Also added a lot of tuning all over her. I hope I am not disappointing anyone expecting a bigger change. But I am just happy to be here again after losing the last version to a hard drive error. Thank you everyone for your positive comments." The new renderings are a must-see for Athena fans, so be sure to check out the awesome artwork at Colonial Fleets.

BGClub.com and Mobile Battlestar News System
July 20, 2004 by Webmaster
New report posted at the Battlestar Galactica Club Forums: "'We can rebuild him. Better than he was before... Better... Stronger... Faster!' With that statement in mind, the BattlestarGalacticaClub.com and Mobile Battlestar news reporting system has been completely rebuilt. The BattlestarGalacticaClub.com main page now loads 25% faster and displays the top five most recent news articles instead of all news articles for the month. Mobile Battlestar is now fully automated courtesy of the PHPNews 1.2.2 News Management Software. All 820 individual XHTML pages that formed the original Mobile Battlestar have been removed from the server to make way for the new news management system. All of the former news articles, from June 2002 all the way up to May 2004, have been manually inserted into the new PHPNews 1.2.2 database during the rebuilding process, so no information was lost. Enjoy the new version of BattlestarGalacticaClub.com and Mobile Battlestar!" Be sure to visit the new Mobile Battlestar News System at BattlestarGalacticaClub.com.

Winds of Change...
July 20, 2004 by Webmaster
New report from former ColonialFleets.com owner Titon: "Greetings my fellow warriors. Over the last 2 months my life has become extremely busy. I've spent a majority of the time concentrating on my company which in turn has returned good dividends. Business has increased nearly 30% from the same time last year. What does all this mean? Well unfortunately my time will be needed elsewhere. There comes a time in everyone's life that tough decisions must be made. And this time is no different for me. As of yesterday I've transferred ownership of Fleets to our resident daggit (muffit). From June 1st on she will be the sole owner and operator of Colonial Fleets. Along with the great supporting cast of admins and mods here you should not feel one little bit of turbulence. Wish them luck in their new endeavors. Darrell (Warrior) and I had a dream a few years back. Let's create a website that all Galactica fans can come together to discuss our favorite show in peace. Over that time we've gone through many significant changes and many many battles. These are times I will never forget. Some good, some bad but hey that's life. We all just need to remember this is a TV show after all. What we've built here is family. And I will miss you all. Fleets will go on like a clock. The basic structure will not change and I believe Fleets best times are still ahead. Thank you all for your years of friendship and support over many difficult times. It has filled my life with great pleasure. I've spent considerable time trying to make the powers that be stand up and listen. We were close but again it was snatched away from us on 9/11. But again I believe in my heart that it will eventually sink in, when is anybodies guess. Unfortunately I don't have the time nor the energy to dedicate to it any longer. So it is time for me to say goodbye. Help Muffit and the others make a smooth transition and also help them keep the peace. Don". Farewell to Titon and best of wishes to the new owner Muffit and the administrators of Colonial Fleets.
