Gunstar Ares (BSG)

[Alexzandyr]

you'll get yer guns lol. I think i'm going to have three along the each side up top, and then a few along the bottom of the head.

[Major Diarrhia]

You can fit ten guns on top easly. I was a little off with the spacing but with more precision it can be made to work.

EDIT: oh and good luck with that Armada 2 mod...i liked those cylon ships you posted in the update.

Oh, thats cool. When you've completed this 2d work, would you mind if I could model it into the Battlestar Armada Mod?

[Alexzandyr]

Well yer already do my first gunstar, might as well do the second one. Hopefully i'll have it finished by next week.

I love to see it frished.

[firekite]

love the gunstar , 2 questions, does she carry 10 turrets on her keel and whats her fighter compliment ?

[Alexzandyr]

No fighters, the reason will be explained when i finish it because i intend to include a "Design History" with it. Right now there are 12 turrets dorsal probably going to be 6 along the edge of the "head" and maybe another six ventral. So probably around 24 turrets in all which should be good for a cruiser type ship.

Ok here's an update...nothing is final so keep that in mind when making suggestions. I tried something new with the "grid" lines, does it look okay?

[B.J.]

Nice design. I'd lighten up those gridlines, though.

[Endeavour]

Hmm...I must say that I don't really like those grid lines. They make the ship look like a continuous flat plane.
