Oh yeah, sorry - forgot to thank all the people who have wished me a speedy recovery

Thanks!

Smarter thing to do (Dont even know why I'm telling you this. I'm against this form of nerdism) is to take the size of the galactica which was just provided to us; divide it's width to find the rough accurate size of the pod openings, then take the valk, check the openings; look for "land marks" such as paint switch or other such things, divide size again, add, then multiply. should give a relatively accurate size.

Hello new here but I just watched that seen 6 times now and want to say it was great but the ship that came out of the opening was a "MARK 7 VIPER" ( almost positive) also to also it was quite far into the landing bay because it was well past the 3rd support from the front of the landing bay!
Also may I ask was I mistaken into thinking there were 2 of these battlestars, ( please tell me I was not seeing thing) because I swear I saw 2 of these ships docked and 2 different explosions take place when I put the DVD into slow motion.
Anyone see this or was it CGI slight of hand?
I ask this because the Battlestar Galactica according to the SCIFI channel says the ship is 1414 meters long, but there was another ship docked there and it was almost a perfect copy ( if not same CGI model) of it and it was twice as large as the PEGASUS.

Anyway I like your rendering of this ship.

I agree with that assessment.

Would a BSG ship really need long muzzles on turrets. The never explained whether they were rail guns,or lasers that well. But it still is a beautiful model, my compliments .

And Darkone, its rare to find a producer that can combine a sense of realism in special effects, and combine it with good acting from the cast. The graphic designers have to do the job, no matter how stupid it appears later

I think you can be sure they are only kinetic energy weapons ####Edit: with maybe a little chemical energy thrown in at the tips

Actually based in real life physics. Try this hxxp://www.navweaps.com/Weapons/WNUS_Rail_Gun_pics.htm

Longer the barrel the more the magnets and more velocity. The muzzle flash is caused by the superheated air escaping. Not sure what would happen in a vacuum...we will just call them ablation of the projectile casing.

battlestar wiki has the weapons labled as Kinetic Energy Weapons(KEW), theres 3 known variants, the main battery types, point defenses, and the forward facing fixed mounts on the pegasus which I believe would be called HKEWs, there could be other variants, I dont know.

Just a reminder kids, that Battlestar Galactica isn't real.
