Hey guys, i have been a little busy lately preparing for examinations with school and all and i havnt had time to log on to update you on the mod and where we are at. This post is a small little update letting you know what im working on exactly.
At the moment im looking ar perfecting the Colonial side and completing their coding before perfecting the code of the Cylon Faction. Currently i am working on editing Battlestars so that they have more hardpoints which will allow them to use a wide variety of different effects from the show.
I am also working on coding the civillian ships into the game, and i must say this stage is going well, all civillian ships seem to be appearing fine with textures looking quite good in game. I will hopefully bring you some screenshots on this stage soon.
Now this is where i need your help, the Cylons are a race of machine's as any BSG fan would know, but hear this, they only use Cylon Basestars, Cylon Light Raiders, Cylon Heavy Raiders, Resurrection Hub and Resurrection ship. If we compare this to the colonial units, they are outnumbered by massive numbers. So here's the plan, i am hoping to create some new looking basestar designs by using the current models i have, i am no expert modeller and im only kitbashing models together at the moment, but if you guys have any ideas for ship i would appreciate it.
I will be working on gettting you some information about the Cylon ships by the weekend and i hope to start work on sorting and finalising out the Galaxy Map, which i must say has all the BSG planets coded in but need re-plotting to suite the needs of the Galaxy.
Lots of work i know.
Guys we have forums also which could use some livening up, Forum.unitedstudios.co.uk , i hope to get some topics and more images for you by the end of the weekend.
We are open to suggestions for ships and weapons, we hope to have an update on GROUND units too.
Thanks
Byron
Hey, try the basestar spin around so that its mirrored top and bottom like the do in 'the plan' u could call them "Assault Stars" and not to many raiders but more missiles. Another Idea would be a half base star just the top piece and you could call them 'tristars' or something like that and it can be 1/3 the power of a normal basestar...
Theres two ideas, if i think of any tohers ill post them
hehe Spino,nice ideas as always :)
look into archives to find ships it always pays off for star wars so i figure why not for this?
because there isn't an archive for this lol
BSG is very limited, i am hoping to fiddle with the cylon basestar on the weekend but the mesh has some problems at the moment that need to be fixed
thats y i choce variances on ur current meshs lol
You could give the cylons more reinforment points so they can bring in more basestars. You could also try looking though the old videos and new to see if their is anything you could use.
you could use the basetar from razor that the guardians used it looks like a modern basestar sort of but is completely metal it can be an in between the original basestars and the new basestars it could be a carrier basestar that launches a lot of mk1 raiders? Well that's my 2 cents here is its image

You could also consider making special nuke carrying raiders
