Lord Ravensburg, you're too kind.

Yeah, all the turrets have torp launchers. The pics only show four turrets right now, on the top of the mid-section of the ship. The bottom view shows all of the ventral turret hatches. The specs will be revised once all the details are finished. The four quantum torpedo launchers listed in the specs are the forward-mounted, traditional torpedo tubes on the bow. I decided to put those there as a nod to the forward gun batteries we saw on the Pegasus in "The Captain's Hand", when Apollo orders the crew to switch the forward battery to salvo fire, and then the forward guns tear the s&#t out of one of the Basestars. Definitely one of the best episodes of the season. I'm actually adding some more, as you can tell in the MSD.(four launchers in each flight pod now.)

Here's an update on the Raptor. I'll start the other views in the next couple of days. More to come.

the Raptor looks sweet. Shuttle or small Runabout.

**Lord Ravensburg** · 05-18-2006, 05:26 AM

Looks sweet, one suggestion, maybe move the wing alittle further aft...just my 2 cents. good job

evil_genius_180 · 05-18-2006, 05:30 AM

Nevermind. I guess I missed the launchers on the turrets. Great work.

Choo1701 · 05-18-2006, 05:52 AM

Looks good...but the wings look way too thin, need too be a bit thicker.

...and what is that shape infront of the nacelles?

Dark Angel · 05-18-2006, 12:39 PM

Oh my god! Galactica! *faints* *gets up* My god I love it! Well done!
I wonder what a Borg basestar would look like?

**Dark Saber** · 05-18-2006, 01:18 PM

Now that shuttle pod I could see in the normal Trek Universe. Great work, oh and the Galactica looks great as well. Nice take on these ships.

Jonny Boy · 05-18-2006, 04:53 PM

Thanks guys. I appreciate it. Choo, the wing is just temporary, untill I can finish it. The basic shape is right, but the wing will be a little thicker and have an aerodynamic edge. the shape that is over the nacelle is supposed to be a tail fin. That's temprorary as well. I thought it might look interesting, so I stuck it on there. When I do the front and top views, I'll show you guys what it looks like, and then decide whether or not to keep it.

DarK Angel, its funny you should mention a borg basestar. In the old thread I mentioned possibly doing one, just for fun, but even if I thought I could, it would be a LONG ways off. I'd sure like to see it though.

By the way, I know in the last thread right be for the crash I had calculated an approximate length for this beast. Anyone have any idea what it was? I'm too lazy to go back and do it again.

Guess I'll end up doing it anyway. Oh well, its not like its hard or anything. Let's see... one Voyager, two Voyager's, three Voyager's....

That thing's huge. Looks like it could eat that Intrepid class as a snack.

In the picture with the front shot of the USS Galactica, it reminds me of an alligator sneaking up on some of it's prey.

Jonny Boy · 05-18-2006, 05:22 PM

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that was imagining something like that.

After looking at this thing for so long, I've seen all kinds of weird images jumping out at me.

I forgot to mention for the record that the ship has docking bay in the bottom of the mid-section. If you followed the old thread, this is old info, but for those of you who are new to the project, ask away, and I will be glad to answer questions.
