My original plan was to have basestars, raiders, etc "upgrade" with Entrenchment's ability to swap meshes in game. But I started hearing from some people wondering if any ships from the original series would be in that weren't in already (like the old raiders, original Galactica, etc)

I figured it would be kind of unkind to the fans of the original series to have their favorite ships replaced part way into the game, never to be seen again until they start a new game.

So, my new plan is that at the begining of the game, the Cylons and the Colonials both start with only one capital ship they can build, the original Basestar for the Cylons, and the original Galactica for the colonials. There would be a line of research that unlocks further capital ships. Colonials go original Galactica > new Galactica > Valkerie > Pegasus, with the other's thrown in there some where, I'm not really sure where yet. Cylons would be Original basestar > Guardian > new basestar > resurection ship > worldstar, or something like that.

Each cap would have its own "era-specific" strikecraft. Original Galactica will have original vipers, new galactica will have mkIIs, Pegasus will have mkVII and so on, with something similar for the Cylons

This way, hopefully everyone will be happy, and will have the favorite ships in game.

I love them.  Especially that second one down, the old raider, that one looks good.

And here's some more raiders, but this time they're actually shooting at things. You can see some capital ships in the background.

Glad you like them. Hopefully, I'm going to have some more to post later today.

Are you saying that the Cylons should be able to research those, or what?

Ok, I have a bunch more screenshots to show you. There's a lot, so they're going to be split into a couple posts.

Valkyrie Battlestar fleeing from 3 basestars:

And a couple of the same Valkyrie being pummeled by the same basestars:

Very nice indeed, good work:)

Wow, that was quite the lucky coincidence. Although none of those pics show it very clearly (not being shot at) so I think I'll do a little feature, with a pic of every cap, just so everyone can see all the new textures.

Yes and no. It definetly isn't as bad as before, but the Colonial ships still have a habit of glowing every now and then, with a couple exceptions. The Valkyrie seems to work right all the time, and the Warrior has the exact opposite problem. It alwasy appears too dark. Hopefully we can get this fixed soon. On the plus side, the Cylons have no problems with that at all!

I can make no garrentees, but I'm hoping soon. Before the end of July for sure. It kind of depends on how long it takes me to get it up and available for download.

Now, as promised, here are screens of all the capital ships in all their not broken (or not as broken) textured glory, Colonials first:

Pegasus:

Valkyrie:

Galactica:

Sentrus:

Warrior (as you can see, the Warrior still has some issues):

And now for the Cylons:

Basestar:

Hades MkII (It still needs a texture):

Resurection Ship:

Worldstar:

Guardian:

You can thank Kreeargh and his affilates for that. I agree, it is one of my personal favorites.

A couple more screenshots for you. I'm sure some of you are sick of seeing the Colonials getting killed, so this time its the Galactica and Pegasus beating on a basestar:

Ok, I've posted a reply to this twice now, and neither showed up, hopefully this one will.

Like I said a couple posts ago, the Colonials still have some glowing problems, although they're not quite as bad as before. In all of these screen shots I tried to manipulate it so that didn't happen, but in those last couple pics the Galactica+Pegasus started moving because the basestar was destroyed, so it turned a little white.

Dan is going to re-hardpoint the Pegasus to fix the engine thing, as well as the Galactica.
