Artist's Comments

Bigger badder and all that.

During the thirty or so years since the original run of BSG there's been debates about what a Battlestar's armament is. It's the same kinds of debates going on about other ships from sci-fi shows of that era, and there was never any official say on it (unlike Star Wars, for example). One school of thought assumes that the Pegasus was the only one armed with missiles, and different Battlestars had various configurations. I've emphasized Pegasus' armaments here (missiles), since I like the school of thought that all Battlestars are somehow individualized.

Good work. You should co-op with BGS MOD team to Freelancer.

She's a beast. In a good way.

Again, nice. o:

Didn't the Galactica rely on laser armarment in the original series?

Also, I have a PS2 game that's Battlestar Galactica....the Galactica in that game doesn't particularly resemble either the riBSG or the originalBSG galactica, as far as I can tell. I'll look up more on it for you, because alot of stuff was different.

Ok, found the game. Apparently it covers the First Cylon War mentioned in nBSG. The models for the ships are mostly OriginalBSG, including the Galactica, but the more advanced Cylon fighters are more inspired by the new series. The Basestar is the original BSG model too, and there's an Advanced Basestar model that isn't in either series.

Fairly certain the Vipers are the new-series kind, but since they're Mark I and Mark II, they're much like the original ones.

the rockets shooting out of the front are bigger then vipers,what kind of rockets are they?

They are large anti-capital missiles about the size of a Constitution-class spaceship from Trek. If it makes you happier they're tipped with multiple fusion warheads.

Yes, in the original series Battlestars were armed with the same kind of laser batteries Star Destroyers had in Star Wars.

I really wish I could have gotten my hands on that game back in the day. The say regarding the game is that it combines both universes somehow into some sort of prequel. The Galactica there is the TOS design, but incredibly run down after the millennium of war against the cylons. Supposedly she's refitted once more before participating in the ill-fated peace mission at Cimtar

Lol, bet the pilots are exausted walking to the flight deck. Helluva distance, fight be over before they could scramble fighters- hope u got turbo lifts. Otherwise an amazing bit of art, looks like it could kick cylon ass.
