Quick synopsis
This mod introduces the colonial and cylon factions to the Sins of the Fallen universe. Both races will be playable with any of the planets, addons, and races included in Sins of the Fallen including the stock races. Both the colonial and cylon's factions will be balanced against the stock factions to support this approach.
Colonial Fleet
Relying on heavily armored and armed ships the colonial fleet is always on the defense looking for cylon incursions. Lacking shields of any kind Battlestar Point Defense systems are used to intercept incoming weapons and minimize damage to nearby frigates and cruisers supporting the fleet.

That was the intent with VI. Unfortunately I don't have a good model for the Nova class (I thought there was one, but there wasn't a good quality texture with it and that's beyond my ability I'm afraid).
If I find a Nova class battlestar it will have a VI.
WoWzers. These models look great Z
I am getting a lot better at texturing and UVs if there is something you want me to look at.
Guardian update, hope you like it..
and myfist0 if you have some time would you help us with cylon colony, if yes i can provide you with .obj file and uv map in .tga
Ya I can take a wack at it. Could use a reference shot if you have one.
I am really excited about this mod. That new valkyrie looks absolutely incredible (that was Koobalt right?) and I think the research centre is a really clever way to use the zephyr as BSG has no equivalent buildings. The Viper Mk2 also looks very nice now (was that the new model for sot13th?) and I look forward to seeing what you do with the cylons.
I'm a little bit confused by this - do you mean, like, they will be titled Galactica and Pegasus class, much like the Kol and Akkan, or, as in, you will be keeping the names on all the pods to symbolise class?
Also, the Pegasus-class is actually a Mercury-class, as stated in the show, while Galactica hasn't got a definitive class.
Well, I was more speaking to Galactica which some suggest being its own class as well as being Jupiter or Columbia class.
In regards to the Pegasus it was more that its commonly confused as it's own class and for a mods purpose wouldn't be to unacceptable.
I haven't really decided yet and may lean more towards generic if the naming can be removed easily from the sides as I was originally intending. It will basically depend on the texture. If I remove the name on this side it will be the class of Columbia(or Jupiter) and Mercury for example. If I don't remove the name the classes will be Pegasus and Galactica.
When I was trying to figure out the same naming problem, the closest thing I found to a consensus about the issue online is that the Galactica-class and Columbia-class were two different but very similar classes. Apparently the Columbia as seen in Razor is slightly bigger than the Galactica and has more armor plating or something along those lines.

What I got from the various screen caps of the Razor flashback, the Columbia is basically a newer version of the Galactica class. I've also seen Galactica referred to as a Columbia-class battlestar in some places. Adding to the confusion is the fact that there was more than one Columbia in the series: the one destroyed in the first Cylon war (Razor) and the one destroyed in the second Cylon war (Miniseries). Here's the best picture I could find of the Columbia destroyed in the first Cylon war: http://en.battlestarwiki.org/wiki/File:Col1.jpg
This implies that Galactica is older than even the first Columbia, giving more weight to the Galactica being a Galactica-class battlestar and the Columbia-class being a refit of the Galactica-class with more armor, a larger size, and more advanced systems.
The general consensus is that the Pegasus is in fact a Mercury-class battlestar. Valkyrie-class is officially named and correct for that type.
That's really nice looking! I like it a lot and am really looking forward to getting to the cylons eventually.
I've just decided to rework all the models and texture sheets for the Colonials and mix some things around first.
I can send a couple of models for you to look at. I'd really like a Nova class battlestar but it won't break the bank if I can't get it.
Right, well kyogre12 responded on his. Koobalt's is the the Thor class battlestar shown above.
The BSG wiki had some comments on the Zephyr being refitted for research purposes which kinda prompted me to do that, plus I want the BSG faction to feel like you are in that universe and want to use all BSG oriented models for the different units.
Also the MkII and MkVII are Coxxon's viper's with some polygon reductions. The old models were good, I just like the look of these a bit more.
Do you use windows Live Mesh. They seem to have the bugs worked out.
I am sharing my mods and the XSI project and can invite you to one or all of the folders.
Sharing mods over live mesh requires a small program to turn a deep directory into a drive letter.I made C:\Users\myfist0\AppData\Local\Ironclad Games\Sins of a Solar Empire\ into S:\. Then I tell Live Mesh to share S:\Mods-Diplomacy v1.32\Sins of the Creator and S:\Mods-Diplomacy v1.32\SotC - Add Hiigaran and so on. Works great.
Download VSubst_1.0.6.exe Free
The XSI project is also shared on dropbox and can invite that way as well. Get a model database going and backups.
Ya, I use windows live mesh, feel free to invite my live id.
Here's a retexture of the Asgard battlestar from sot13t.
Edit - I added a few more turrets to the insets (not in this picture) on the side but will need to re-hardpoint it to make use of them.
The model is by Kyogre12 the UV is by me.
Yes the Thor is my model, and if i think correctly the Asgard is too my model (if that's colonial cruiser), and the Jupiter not listed here i don't know if ZombieRus5 will use it.
For cylon it's Boomer class and Guardian MK2, and Colony (perhaps new cylon starbase)
The Colony should sooooo be the Cylon starbase... that would be so awesome
Considering the quality of Zombie's work so far, I need to go find Battlestar Galactica on netflix and find out about this.
Ah cool. I decided to retexture the Asgard as the model was very nice. On the turrets I basically duplicated some to the insets.
On the Jupiter basically the tangent is not quite right causing weird lighting. If you still have the original model I can correct the tangent.
The colony would make a pretty sweet starbase!
Thanks! I personally very much like Battlestar Galactica. I grew up with the original (TOS) and really enjoyed the re-imagined (TRS) series. The TOS is definately more campy but was good fun while the TRS was more space drama and very well done.

Couple of other shots... Notice the turrets
Where do you get all your info? I am afraid I am a bit behind in BSG lore.
This shot is from the BSG movie Razor. Image from Battlestar Wiki...

The internet
Wolf's shipyard is good for different battlestar classes from cannon to fannon.
Here's one of the wikis.
Netflix (I'll be honest I haven't watched the originals since the 80's).
Apparently there's a twitter

There's a few good reasons to watch Battlestar...
It's really just the toys that suck me in though
