Galactica

[Samoth]

Can we not use any ships in skirmish, why is there only like 4 ships in skirmish? Do I have to unlock them? The whole point was to fight with galactica, why else have this? I mean it's IN THE TITLE.. I can't even play the original battlestar? Are there ANY battlestars in BATTLESTAR ?

Have you tried creating your own fleet in Skirmish?

Without any DLC's, there's more than 4 ships for the Colonials. Off the bat you get access to the following:

Manticore - Recon/pack hunter.
Adamant - Jack of all trades light cruiser/carrier.
Minotaur - Gunship.
Ranger - Missile cruiser.
Atlas - Heavily armoured carrier, AKA the brick.
Artemis - Cheapest, but also most cost-efficient Battlestar. Ship design is a modern version of the OG Galactica from the 70's.
Jupiter Mk I - Heavy Battlestar, bristling with guns and armour with the best flak you can get, though slow. Ship design is an early version of the Galacitca from the re-imagined show from 2003.

yes, i tried in skirmish.. it seems a bit underwhelming to not have a battlestar.
Again, in my minds eye, it premises the galactica, imagine my disappointment.

[Sir Wagglepuss III]

...The Artemis and the Jupiter are both Battlestars. You can make fleets made of literally nothing but Battlestars.

How about G-A-L-A-T-I-C-A battlestars? It's that simple.

The Galactica is of the Jupiter class. By default you get the Jupiter Mk I, which is an early war version of it. If you pick up the Resurrection DLC, you can immediately use the Jupiter Mk II, which is the screen-accurate version of the Galactica.

If you play through the campaigns, you also get to use the Galactica itself. I really don't know how much more Galactica it could get.

Well technically the Artemis, is the Galactica Battlestar 😁 it iw the one from the original show. The ship in the game you're looking for is the jupiter II from resurrection. That's weird you don't have it in skirmish mod yes maybe you have to unlock them I don't remember how i got them, i played the story mod right after downloading.... But if you play the campaign mod, the missions give you new ships and yes you, will have the Galactica, from the original, show then yhe jupiter I, then the jupiter II (that's the ship from the 2006 show) you don't even have to unlock this one, you have it right at the beginning from the season 2.....guarantee.

. . . and then you can get the "modern" Pegasus (as the Mercury class Battlestar) in the Modern ship pack; along with the Mk VII viper. (although only for skirmish; since the game is set during the first Cylon war when none of those ships were around.)

. . and of course the Original Pegasus from the Original series is simply another Artemis.

So yes. . .you CAN have the Galactica AND the Pegasus fighting side by side.

And side by side with Atlantia, Pacifica, Columbia, Triton, Acropolis, Rycon, Solaria, ...
