Hello:
After several years I was in the neighborhood and I wanted to say hello .

Because of a friend of mine I have restarted working on my own BSG project, and only some days ago I completed a low-poly 3d model of the Berzerk. If you want to see it I could link you to my DeviantArt Gallery.

But thanks for making and sharing that very cool Colonial ship .

Hi, Tony.

Well, it's canon in that it's in Razor; but the dialog never even mentions it and it can be seen in big & tiny versions, so the ship's identity and purpose are completely up in the air.

My own thoughts on the ship are that it's a light assault ship; the ten launch tubes are considerably wider than viper tubes, so I can see cramming small dropships full of marines in 'em, and using the railgun batteries to lay down suppressive fire while the dropships race for the landing zone.

Mr. Oines,

My name is Tony Solorzano and I'm a fan of your work on Battlestar Galactica, specifically the "Bezerk Class" escort from "Razor"

I'm part of a BSG-themed Roleplaying sim on Second Life and the main builder of the Sim is attempting to build a version of your Escort ship. I was wondering if you could settle a disagreement that has developed over the type of ship your design is.

Some of the other design consultants are of the opinion that the ship is a tender/supply ship while I contend that it's an escort Frigate, similar to an Aegis-Class cruiser in the US Navy. They are also referring to it as a "non-canon" ship, since it was never seen outside of the attacks. What I'm asking is, since this is your design, could you settle the question of what class it is?

My friend and I are both very impressed with your design of the ship, especially the center flight deck section. Any assistance in terms of classifying your marvelous design would be much appreciated. We are in the countdown stage to our RP Sim to experience the attack on the Colonies. This ship will be my own command and I would appreciate your help in setting up the backstory for it.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Tony Solorzano
