Hello:
I like what you did with my TOS Basestar to make the other tos basestar, which is canon since it appeared in computer screens on the (TOS) Galactica.

I look forward to know it's power .

Ok, Im in need of some help

I have 3 station designs (originaly by ice-dragon) that I need making. I have tried with 2 of them but to be honest they suck. I dont need them textured (unless your willing) but its starting to hold me up with the mod. each station has only 1 or 2 ref pics.

If your interested please let me know. Cheers

 

[Adm_Z]

Can you post the pics?

I can email them if u give me ur address.

Hello:
That Cylon Behemoth is cute indeed... well, I can say that because I am a Cylon so I don't have to engage it in combat .

As for the stations, I am still trying to get into any BSG mood, but I do know Ice-Dragon has orthos of all or most of his stations in his Photobucket account, and to have an orthos is an asset.

Good luck Score!

He has othos for 1 of the stations. Not for the 1 iv been working on though

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I sent you the orthos I think you needed. But Ice-Dragon also made stations that can work great as research stations, but I have never seen any orthos for those. So you'll need to guesstimate.

Bu I know you'll do fine .

Have you seen this?

There's a few stations on there, might help.

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Yes Dan, those are some of the models Ice-Dragons made, and those are the stations we are referring to. They look very small due to the scale but in closer views, those designs are great.

Thanks for the pic .

 

[Dan1025]

No worries, I can't seem to find much in the way of Cylon stations I'm afraid, I've gone through Ice-Dragons photobucket account and his stuff is mostly Colonial. Maybe try something organic-looking along the lines of the Colony?

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Well, maybe Score do have some ideas, but I agree that Ice-Dragon makes mostly Colonial stuff. All I have been able to do is the alternative relay station designs (from Razor) and the Colony (that needs a retouch). But we will have to brainstorm Cylon designs indeed .

Posting the images on the site will more likely get positive response. Just waiting to email someone most modellers will go with "What's the point, I might not like the design".

 

[thunderfoot]

Just a suggestion, here. Do the Cylons need stations? Why not just use a variant of a Hub Ship or a half sized Resurrection Ship as stations? The Resurrection Ship came about because the Cylons pursuing the Rag Tag Fleet were too far away from the Cylon worlds to be able to download. So why not explore this idea further? Makes sense they might have research, resource harvesting, and the like on a mobile platform. Why shouldn't the Colony be entirely self sustaining and capable of doing everything?

Its actually a Cylon Worldstar, and I certianly wouldn't call it cute by any means. As for the stations. Have you actually thought about contacting Icedragon directly and asking if you can have access to the original models or failing that, if he is willing to make some nice close up images??

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
I do think Score is the one that should be posting a reply, but let's hope he'll reply aswell.

I can see your point here, and I apologize as Score told me which one it was during a MSN chat and I sent him a pic; one of the only orthos of stations designed by Ice-Dragon, and it was the Colonial Comm station.

This is a great idea. I do agree that the Colony is self-sustaining but that Cylons do build some small stations every now and then as support (like the Relay station in Razor or the mining station seen during season1).

We do really need to explore that idea, all of us, but there would be limitants due to the game's engine, but I guess we can get something very close to what you think.

But I still think about making a separate mod, so I would let Score to give his own vision about this idea.

Sorry, that was me that called it "cute". But I can totally see how it has tons of space and possible much more weapon ports than any basestar. Is that ship meant for mission like a siege?.

Ice-Dragon do have orthos of some of his stations, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to ask for orthos for the research labs he made and maybe other models .

Sorry, that was me that called it "cute". .

I actually said it first, and I stand by my statement. I still think it looks like a plushie basestar.

Ok, on a role with some Colonial stations. Will post some pics soon once textured

 

[Dan1025]

Looking forward to it Do you still have that Colonial Outpost/station that MaP donated to the mod a while back? That thing was awesome.

 

[Score1_uk]

I do but I think we arnt allowed to use it, somthin about the original designer not letting it be used iirc.

 

[Dan1025]

Ah man thta's a shame Hopefully you guys can come up with some cool ones on your own

 

[Starfox1701]

Couldn't you just build a new model of that station? I mean he cant tell you not to use your own work right?

 

[Chiletrek]

Hello:
Well, that will be Score's decision, but I think you are right.

But even if a new model is done and, as a consequence, all the polies and textures are now different and unique, maybe it can still be possible to give credits for the original design?

I can see that station is very popular and I admit it is hard to get a structure that can be used as a Colonial main base for a game.

As long as you credit him as the designer of the design (and perhaps a link to his webpage or such in your readme) then I can't see a problem.

Ok, I have hit a brick wall. I need help with texturing. I can apply textures just fine but cant make them. I have several station model ideas that I want to make to finish the Colonial side off. However I keep spendig my time trying to come up with textures and this is slowing me down alot.

Here is what I have:

Im happy with it so far but as soon as I try a main hull texture for the major parts of the station I cant get one to look right. Im intending to leave it now and make the other models. I will need some1 to texture these models for me when done I have 3 stations currently finished and waiting textures.
