Clone Wars Reimagined/Extended Project

Hello:

Ohh, so that is why every lore says they exist but we never sw them used.

I think we did see it once use in TOS, it came out of the bottom but could also come out of the top.

I think it was Baltar's Basestar that used it.

That was a great page to revisit after so long! My Battlenova is actually my take on the destroyer seen in it

Yes, the Tiger is a well renown fan design. Back from the 90's/80's.

You did well on it. It's part of my reference folder haha.

Oh yeah! That is why I had to build it, because I agree a battlestar is a jack of all trades, so dedicated ships need to exist too.

I am honoured

Yeah exactly, no fleet can rely on a single design for everything.

Got a few of your BSG images in there.

Indeed! However I still think many people misunderstands that, since ships like the Galactica just happened to have all those features, but was never meant to go alone, that is why every battle had to be planned carefully when possible.

Yes it's what I hate about so many sci-fi having only one or two designs it's so unrealistic. Even in futuristic space a jack of all trades will never be as efficient as a small fleet of specialized ships working together.

I can totally understand you! For instance, in Stargate canon's case we can forgive the Tau'ri as they are very nascent as a power, and don't have the manpower for a varied fleet yet. I cannot defend the other factions though, the Ori just had 1 capital ship!

The best case I know about would be Macross ands Robotech. The Zentraedi had a varied fleet: a scout, destroyer, cruiser, gun destroyer, a dedicated big carrier that can take a pounding and a huge battleship. The Robotech Expeditionari Force is similar, varied ships with distinct roles and one cruiser that can go in any sort of mission (The Shimakaze class). Of course the REF has 2 SDFs (so akin to Battlestars, but beefier), but they were always shown as part of a fleet as a command battleship with heavy support abilities.

Yeah the expanse at least have several designs in the Mars fleet too. I can understand production costs but honestly if you're going to fund a sci-fi project do it correctly.

I can see your point, the problem is most sci-fi producers got the idea it has to be a single ship: The Enterprise, the Galactica, .... etc, as more ships mean likely having to hire more people as crewmembers for the extra ships or to pay cgi artists extra hours. I mean, the artist that modelled the copy+paste Inquiry class had only like some days to make the ship.

Yup certainly unrealistic expectations on the producers part. Like always the higher ups have no idea.

Amen to that!
