Scorpion Fleet Shipyards (WIP: Battlestar Pegasus)

[Randomo]

Well for you k what I see good frakin' job! I have two models of heavy turret and one flak turret type that I can send your way if you want. I love the detailing you put into this ship, can't wait to see what you come out with next.

Do you have any pictures? How did you get a flak working?! Thanks! I went for the gritty feel of the nBSG universe. Hopefully the hours paid off.

Osiris used turrets as it's flak shield, essentially two one block cannon/cannons set to an ai as missile targeting and an equal number set as ai ship targeting.

I am sure that isn't flak. Schine is yet to add flak. If you look at the Starmade weapons chart (Google) one of the weapons combinations is flak. Schine need to add the 5th weapon system (mine layer) before we can get flak, which sets a fuse to the rounds so it blows up mid air (or space shall I say).

 

[Rixxan]

Yes but until then it's the best I got, Unlike the rest of the ships (EG Galactica) Osiris used independantly firing quad missile batteries as AA fire, plus heavy cannons, so I don't have to worry about that much. Until then setting a few cannon/cannons as Anti Missile is the best bet you got.

Never use beams as PD. As someone once put it "Beams are perfect at missing every single shot."

Update as of 16/02/16:

So... I am currently working on the none shielded variant of the Poseidon and the Battlestar Yashuman. They will be out some time this week. After that, my main focus will be on the Valkyrie, once commanded by William Adama. I've just watched the episode, Hero, and have got the tag line ready for the Valkyrie ahead of time. I'll also be doing a couple of side projects, like the Colonial One and the Gemini Freighter. I have already started on the Pegasus even though she is to be released after the Valkyrie, see Pegasus sneak peak below.

Just thought I would share this, I started building Battlestars around the back end of 2014. The first one I did was titled the Battlestar Wub - Not a very inventive name and the ship was mainly for just messing around at the time. Some time later, I decided to build another Battlestar, my second battlestar. The Battlestar Vigilance. Sadly she was never finished. Hours up on hours of work have gone into her and she is no where near complete. I may pick her back up again, but only after I have finished this shipyard. Images (Please note: she is NOT a canon Battlestar):

I had little fun to celebrate the finishing of my first Battlestar: - Poseidon Vs Poseidon

Some more Poseidon on Poseidon action:

I am going to start doing some colonial civilian ships soon. Starting with Colonial One. My main project at the moment now is going to be the Valkyrie, even though I've done some work on the Pegasus. No pictures though, I want her progress to remain a surprise for now. The Battlestar Valkyrie's tag line will be "Launch ship to ship missile, now."

Fleets are near and I don't have The Beast ready yet, never mind the The Bucket.

Update as of 19/02/16:

Sitrep: Good and bad. Good news is that the only small ship I need to do now is the Colonial BlackBird. The Cylon Heavy Raider and the Cylon War Raider are both done and on the dock. The bad news is.. to put it simply computer problems. Hopefully resolved now, but I lost all work done on the Pegasus and the Valkyrie. I still have their dimension frames though. It could have been a lot worse, I may have lost the Cylon War Raider and the Cylon Heavy Raider aswell as Galactica's dimension frame. Expect to see updates on the Valkyrie in the coming weeks.

+ Checklist updated.
+ Game plan updated.
+ Cylon War Raider added to the downloads section of the OP.
+ Cylon Heavy Raider added to the downloads section of the OP.

Describe your problem.

 

[Randomo]

Describe your problem.

My computer has been regularly crashing these few weeks. I've tried a lot of things. Hopefully the crashing has stopped now (it hasn't crashed on me yet), but after booting up Starmade and trying to get on to the universe where I have the WIP Pegasus and Valkyrie, it gives me an index 74 error. I did a little bit of searching online and found a cure that half worked. Deleting the index, but at the cost of losing any not-saved-to-the-catalogue ship on there. I've only lost about 6 hours work, I'm not ticked off about it. Though I still have the original index file if there is a proper cure.


Edit: Expect an update on the Valkyrie's progress on 27/02/16.

Update as of 22/02/16:

I'll update you guys on the Valkyrie on 27/02/16, as stated previously. I'll update the game plan then too. Today though, I am updating you guys on my first Colonial Civilian ship, arguably the most famous Civilian ship in the Fleet. The Colonial One. Home to the Office of the Colonial President. Or more so Laura Roslin. I've really enjoyed working on this ship so far, a good break from the Colonial Military and tedious maths homework. I've decided on: "Get your fat, lazy ass out of that rack Roslin!" as the tagline for the Colonial One. Images:

In terms of side projects, the Gemini Freighter is next after Colonial One. After that, I will make the Tylium Refinery Ship - I just recently rewatched that episode when they go on strike thanks to Chief Tyrol, the industrial atmosphere on the ship would be fun to replicate . That's just side project plan. For the main projects, I am doing the Battlestar Valkyrie, then the Battlestar Pegasus and then finally, the grandest ship in the fleet... the Galactica.

Colonial One's construction is going quite well, I expect to release her sometime this week.

Holy turrets that's looking nice.

Thanks! Not the final version yet though, I have a lot of details to add and the interior only consists of three rooms so far. I've got the Press Room, the office of the Colonial President and the cockpit done so far. The Cargo bay doors will be the tricky part.

 

[Rixxan]

Aw man and I was going to make these too! Haha you're well ahead of me, they look amazing! Keep up the good work, I'll have to make versions of these too someday, or do other stuff. who knows! Keep it up!

Hehe. Thanks, the more the merrier! I'll do my best, there's no guarantee since my homework is unpredictable.

Word of advice regarding the Poseidon. Ice works better than Blue Crystal Armor. Try it

Thank you! I'm all ears on any advice. The greater quality these ships are, the better. I'm looking to do a V1.1 for the Yashuman and a V1.2 for the Poseidon - So I'll be changing the engines for those versions of the ships and a few other things, but that will be when the Crew update comes out. Might aswell do it all in one.

Colonial One due tomorrow, the first Valkyrie update and a revamped OP. so stay tuned.

Colonial One Released:

Colonial One is done. First Colonial Civilian ship on the dock! Now you will be able to command your fleets from the office of the Colonial President. The ship has a decent Jump Drive and Scanner, no weapons and features most, if not all the rooms of Colonial One that were shown in the Reimagined Battlestar Galactica series.

OP Changes:
+ Colonial One added to the downloads section of the OP.
- Original Overview tab deleted.
- First Valkyrie Update was removed that was attached to the OP.
+ Added Colonial Civilian Tab to the Check List
+ Updated Check list with new ships
+ Updated Game plan
+ Added new Overview.

Valkyrie Update:

I have the dimensions box of the Valkyrie done. Currently I'm working on the Engines/FTL drive at the moment, and detailing that as much as possible. I focused slightly more on Colonial One these past few days, which explains why there isn't much to say about the Valkyrie's update. Once the Engines/FTL section is complete, I'll move onto the main body of the ship and the alligator head. I'm going to confirm now that the Valkyrie will contain atleast one Stealth Star so people can recreate the episode "Hero".

EDIT: Saturday 12th March is when the next Valkyrie Update is due

Update as of 12/03/2016:

I haven't been able to do as much work on the Valkyrie as I had hoped due to homework issues and such, but that being said it is still decent progress. I have completed the main body and the alligator head, they just need some more detailing before I can start working on the interior. The CIC is almost complete, I need to add some more decorations and computers first. My favourite part of the ship has got to be the aft section, it's visually pleasing in every way, though it can be improved. I am uncertain about the Valkyrie's air wing capacity, the flight pods aren't 100% done as of yet. Next update, you can expect more progress on the Valkyrie as well as the Assault Raptor and the Medical/Civilian Raptor seen in The Plan.
