[mikala]

Some very cool designs.
I quite like the Cylon Hound :)

[gmd3d]

magnificent work. the detailing is fantastic

[Atolm]

Thanks mates :)

I can post some of my sketches that lead to many of these designs and some unfinished concepts if you would like too, just let me know.

[mikala]

Post away!
Seeing the process is always of interest to me.

[137th Gebirg]

These are very nicely done!

Atolm, would I be able to get your permission to put this collection on my schematics site (http://www.shipschematics.net/) in the BSG section?

Colonial Basestar Oroboros-Class (Yes i know I said Colonial... This was supposed to be a New Ship fielded by the colonials, but they couldn't figure out the drive systems and power costs to adequately operate the new design, so the Colonials abandoned the concept in favour for a newer Battlestar concept. Little did they know that the design that they relegated as a failure or impossibility, would in turn, show up on the battlefield of the Cylon uprising, as their ship design of choice):

One of my favorites, Cylon "Seeker" (the idea for the Seekers, came about to create an elite group of Cylon "aces" that would co-operate in a squadron of 3, similar to the TOS Cylon Raider crew :) ... They would operate independently, and hunt down any rogue colonials that might have escaped the purge. the Squadron of 3 had enough firepower to hold down a Battlestar while waiting for the Basestars to arrive and finish the job. ):

Colonial Python-class Raider (again, yes I said "Colonial Raider". See again this goes to the concept that the Colonials had developed a 3-manned starfighter that was later adopted by the Cylons during the uprising, as the more famed Cylon Raider):

Welcome to the Fleets, Atolm!! :)

Outstanding work.

I'm partial to the Cylon Predator, myself. (Reminds me a wee bit of the Defiant in ST: DS9.)

:)

[gmd3d]

great additions ,, all eye catchers ...
I thing I might give one ago sometime. the last one in the "Blackstar" section .

reminds me of some designs in n old English sci-fi comic in the late 70s and early 80s ... Starblazer. not to be confused with the cartoon..

top work

[Atolm]

Thanks mates... I'll continue posting as more ideas roll on through :)

[gmd3d]

Thank you very much!
Now to push my luck a wee bit.
Is there a front or rear view ? :)
Either or would be beyond fantastic.

this one?


Yes, this one. Hey, you´re fast! :)
The carrier appears to be bigger than a battlestar, I´m right? I believe she could carry big canons at her front and/or underside. Therefore it could make her more like a colonial fortress than a carrier. Show us more, please. :D
And... if you consider I´m not asking so much, would be cool to see other views to the battlestar Cetus too. :)

the First battlestar is not that large if you look at the finished pic, there is a Python-class Raider (the sketches are earlier in the thread)... Actually she is smaller than the Galactica I would say :)
as for the Cetus, I'll see what I can do :)

Brilliant design. :yikes:
Looking to the bays (6?) and to that little fighter (I supose that it is) was what lead me to think she´s bigger than Galactica, for example. :)

link fixed :)

The Cetus was designed as an old battlestar(though not as old as the Cyrannia). She has a lot of support struts/structures and very ornate (notice the "rising sun" details on the flight pods) structures. Essentially, she is the first in the line that will become the shape of things to come for the colonials. Loaded with the first generation of "vipers", and some support craft, she saw limited action during the Cylon uprising, as the Newer models came into service.

Thanks for the bump there mate.
Sorry to report I have not worked on anything new as of late, but I have been thinking about a doubled saucer-esque Cylon Frigate of sorts.
