BSG - Colonial Warship

[Darkstone]

Really like the T'Kena class. Did you make more views of it?

[Jimi James]

I plan on doing more views but don't have any started at the moment. I should also mention that the T'Kena is a joint venture between the Klingons and Starfleet. It'll only serve in the Klingon Defense Force, but it has quite a bit of Starfleet tech, like that more obvious navigational deflector.

[Darkstone]

I thought that was the photon torpedo launcher like on the BoP.

I would expect the Federation to help with an exploration ship not a Bird of Prey. You can have a deflector like the Defiant's and still have forward torp tube. Also, the BoP's guns are hinged. Slick looking designs though.

You may not have to do anything if the guns are high enough, and the curve of the engine casing shallow enough. It could look like this

The problem is if it looks more like this.

The other options are, move the engines outward, slightly. Make the engines thinner. Move the top engine down and the bottom engines up. Do two of them or all of them. By the way, I like that the major gaps are filled with armor, since Moore said the Galactica was supposed to have its armor removed as part of its decommissioning, rather than always having been ribbed for her pleasure.

Jimi,

Great work on the BSG and Star Trek ships, I like the creativity that went into the Battleship. and the Mk V Viper looks right at home in the new BSG universe. Have you ever considered doing a new series version of the Colonial Defender? If you need a reference pic for the Defender, let me know

[Jimi James]

Thanks for the comments everyone.

And yeah, let me see what pics yo have of the Defender and I might try to come up with something.

[Viper Aviator]

Hey, Jimi

These are the best orthos of the Defender that I could come up with By a very talented individual who goes by "Warrior" Colonial Fleets Gallery

I have tried to design a New BSG version of this ship, and met with nothing but dissapointment.

If you look closely, in Lay Down Your Burdens Part II, you can see this ship, minus the flight pod as part of the rag-tag fleet.

[Jimi James]

Ok, i've done a preliminary concept using my cruiser as a jumping off point. The design still needs some refinement but this is at least a good startng point and an idea of what it will evnetually look like.

Jimi,

The defender looks great, with your Cruiser, The Defender and of course the Battlestar, it looks like that could be the start of a "true" Battlestar Group (BSG) that would mirror the US Navy's Carrier Battle Groups.

EXCELLENT WORK!!!!
