Cool Squiffy good luck man, Stellaris is a side show of a side show for me now anyways just curious sometimes, I am playtesting an unreleased game that has a BSG shipset in it.

I think I'm just going to stick with more recognizable models compared to purely fanmade stuff.

If a Flagship model was needed my suggestion would be the Titan-A from Ravenstar/CanisD, Stryker subclass according to the BSG Fanon Wikia, (or the Poseidon) both of which have a nice schematic, it is a huge godlike brute, every bit the match of the largest Cylon ship ever postulated or modelled, The Worldstar. I am just saying these are already imaged and designed and have a built in following from TT and modeling and look like canon designs anyways. Otherwise I am pretty happy with canon ships, and Squiffy's stuff is very polished and detailed, the guy should be working for a game company probably. My only real fear is like always when it is BSG there wont be enough non-battlestars to escort the carriers for Colonials or Cylons, carriers need escorts and BSG needs the variety! Anyhoo, everyone have a pleasant thanksgiving and end of November, bless you all and be well. Thanks.

Oh I do not completely hate Deadlocks SHIPS ( the way they look is fine), it was the way they described them and play balanced ( not a real thing in war) the platforms. I thought the models looked good, and in an expansive huge shipset there would be room for many classes of all sizes, and roles of Colonial and Cylon ships, especially if it is NSC3 compatible and content. Correct again, Wolfs is defunct, CanisD unfortunately passed years ago. He had great stuff, he also did @ww2 ships era, might have been fleets. Very plausible non treaty type designs mostly. But images from Wolfs can be found I have one for wallpaper that has a few of my favorite Colonials, Google it and hit images, someone has it all stored though, the guy in New York maybe or perhaps a few of the guys who are making or made TT miniatures. I do prefer 2nd CYlon war era ships and was more interested in a 2nd Cylon war, the one in the show was not a war, it was simple decapitation and genocide.

@Roland well like I said I liked the ships from that game that are said to be pre cylon war. I just want to see those designs and styles of the individual colonies expanded on by fans. In fact is Wolf’s Shipyard still having stuff added to it?

Almost all the ships that Ravenstar (the best ships were made into miniatures for TT wargames) came out with, were better than anything in Deadlock that was not canon, but you are not wrong, Wolfs did also have a lot of junk from people other than CanisD, I got so sick of repetitive Battlestar designs, some were really innovative and filled tactical niches in the Colonial Fleet, but there was no need for 20 classes of Light Battlestar. We needed escorts, patrol ships and Cylons. I stopped playing Deadlock after the first DLC because it was so small and limited and had little intricacy or ability to be customized and it felt simple, they lost the rights and it got pulled from STEAM anyways so Squiffy wont have any trouble from them but he can do better than use Deadlock for inspiration. His ships are very pleasing, what I have seen.

@Roland okay a lot I disagree with there. One I think weak in some areas thing is only there for game balance. Two, about wolf’s shipyard, not gonna a lie I don’t like a lot of their stuff. Yeah there is some cool stuff but most of it to me seems like background kitbashs or desperate slapped together ships you’d see late in the first Cylon war like the Demeter, Alert, or Hornet. Also I prefer the deadlock ships due to what the game added to lore from before the Cylon war with ships like the Heracles, Janus, and Atlas.

@tredavidson77 the way Deadlock made ships to be weak in certain areas, it was contrived, it did not follow that you would build a ship that was inherently broken unless another ship was there to pick up the slack but they would say this ship was only built to attack such and such, then why build a limited and very predictably weak (tactically), platform? In canon you had Berserk, Galactica, Mercury, Valkyrie, and a few maybes like Guardian and Defender so not much anyways. But if you go and ignore canon and look at what folks like the CanisD made on Wolfs shipyards you will find yourself going these ships are better than anything in the shows, and there are a ton of them and they are not tm since they are publicly posted and are non monetized artistic works. I would like all the few canon ships, but I would like even more Titan-A, Fenris, Poseidon, Tiger, Ranger, Brenik, Orca, Thor, Nemesis, Horus a lot of these were models for wargaming as well so they are established.

@Roland any specific problems with the Deadlock ships? Like I think the colonial designs . I just think the gun placement is strange. I actually like the designs that predate the first Cylon war.

Ah Squiffy I am saluting you, what a trooper to stick with a project this long!

No money means no infringement, possession is 9/10ths of the law. We had problems with the DB's over model ships back in 2011, they are such idiots they think they are some how missing out on a lot of money. Moron suits. I wouldnt use Deadlock ships anyways they were MEH, I would use Wolfs shipyards ships, since CanisD made better ships anyways and would probably be proud if his ships ended up fighting Cylons through eternity! I was not impressed by Deadlock as a game or with its stupid ship descriptions and nerfed capabilities, written by people who were never in the military so they sound like an incompetent uneducated child elaborating on something he has no understanding of. Slitherine is a dumb company they seem to have as a motto "how to limit fun and stifle creativity".

As far as I know, if you make the models and textures yourself, there's no problem as long as you don't monetize.

If a successor is made for this mod and deadlock designs are used would there still be problems with Universal even of the models themselves are original?

I'm sure I can figure it out when I release the remaster, it has to actually be good.

Will this be updated for NSC? I would really love to use it

Oooh good news maybe, such a rare commodity these days. Thanks.

oh dont worry, just check the BSG reddit

Been so busy with work at the hospital, I had not even checked on this in months and it is probably defunct and died a quiet death while I was preoccupied, sad really, everyone is so busy everywhere and none of it seems for leisure or by choice, no wonder everything is watered down, un-creative and rushed. I have not seen anything movie wise all summer that was worthy. A good gauge in my estimation of the state of the brains of the creative world usually. Well maybe someday we will get some BSG Colonials and Cylons from somewhere else. Cant Blame squiffy but his stuff looked good and will be missed, I am sure. Have a good summer!

@DerpyJam_755 nowhere I dont think, sorry I just saw this message, Squiffy sent me screenshots they are not anywhere posted that I know of. Not much but they look intricate and pristine.

Really? Where could I see this if you don't mind me asking?

Yeah someone else has taken up the mantle. His stuff looks great, he sent me screenshots, but like always the wait is the killer! LOL. I am amazed that so many ship sets for lousy franchises out there ( the latest Star Wars Films, I ma targeting you, I like SW but blasters get dull.) but none for either of the BSG classic or new, and there was a lot available, fan work made thousands of cool Warstars, Battlestars, Gunstars, etc. crazy dumb world. actually it is a dumb world.

Ah, then this is officially EOL for the mod. We will not be updating it for 4.0 or fixing it.

It does not work now and has not for a long time, unfortunately. CTD.

Alright everyone, this mod has a new bug. The game will consider these ships to be organic. This is because we are not going to be updating the mod further and there's a new iddy biddy line of code you need to put into your shipset mods to get the game to make it registered as a mechanical ship.

yes you'll get all of that, I'm mainly making the movie and getting those assets for this shipset.

Squiffy whats the release date for the shipset? Will we be getting battlestars like he Valkryie, mercury, and galactica classes. I will donate money for you to get this done. Ive been waiting years

That is actually probably an even better idea, I think. I didnt know what was possible in that regard. Wow. KOOL!

that was my plan

oh Im bringing the BSG ships from the movie to this shipset, dw

This is dead and Squiffy has bigger fish to fry so I guess we are not getting a BSG Colonials Shipset unfortunately, but we may be seeing a movie????? SHHHH!!!!

Hey Squiffy, though this is not super Stellaris related, but it is BSG and ship model related, I am selling all my old mini's from gaming on e-bay if you want to see the fleets, ( there are like 50 kinds of Colonial and about 30 kinds of Cylon ships pictured), no fighters, maybe get some idea's or see how they are size wise, my name on there is yousaygoodhunting. I hope they inspire! I will miss them.

Better and Better! Should work, Dark Space and NEss add a ton of shipsets, which I use for things that dont have one. The Bioform and Lithoid and Organic Hive sets are great for Buggy enemies as are (SCRIN, Wraith, and a few others) and Mechanical, Cybernetic, Machine, Hierarchy, Kugelraumer, Enigmatic, and Spinuous, I use for various machine exterminators including Cylons but bugs and machines seem to be the thing to fight! LOL they work great as enemies. I wish they fought better.

Dunno about dark space and Ness's mods, but I made it while playing with NSC and it works with NSC and vanilla just fine. As long as something doesn't edit actual system generation, should be good with anything. I know that Planetary Diversity is compatible with it too.

Oh good Idea, I if it plays with Dark Space, NSC and Ness's mods all will be ducky! Thanks I look forward to it.

Hmmm, suppose I should update my Cyrannus sector mod and republish it...

I actually really dont care about anything but the ships I have everything else, I know it is cosmetic. There is a defunct BSG naming list as well and a Cyrannus starting system that seems to break my game. Red Rapture, one isnt born an expert on anything we become by learning and doing. It is actually liberating and joyful to learn and I find history, mythology and legends to be entertaining, who doesnt love s good story? OH man Greek and Norse and Indian mythology are pretty Violent and fun! LOL. Have a great weekend. You say good Hunting!

I don't know ancient european languages and naming, but others seem to have picked up on what I meant.

I think for naming lists eventually I would use a Mythological and Ancient Earth one, I dont see any reason at all that all our ancient myths and gods or heroes wouldnt have been part of the ORIGINAL Tribes of Mankinds scriptures, etc.

Flags are available through a MOD for sure I thought I had it actually.

The ships are definitely the draw here. I asked a buddy who owns Stellaris but does not play it if BSG ships are worthy and he said he wishes he could get them in the 2 space games he plays. I just grabbed the Homeworld 2 collection and the BSG MODS for it, I played those many years ago and they are still great!

All have a good weeekend. Thanks Squiffy. This is HEROIC WORK!

makes sense

Not Roman names, they are Greek, Apollo, Athena and some Egyptian and ancient Persian too.
Squiffy RedRapture is correct, concentrate on the ships! I like his Battlestar unlock and special idea. But not my show! and I have no idea how hard or possible anything is. I will happily be involved if I can though. Also NOT EVERYTHING in the fleet could have been a battlestar, you would need patrol craft and escorts and Gun line ships, one of the things I saw in most of the designing going on was that everything was a newer bigger badder battlestar. It was irritating to think of carriers escorting carriers. Have a great weekend, Good Hunting!

Most of those flag mods have a lot more complicated steps from what I’ve seen.

And the name set is not vaguely Roman, far from it.

There are flag mods for colonial flags out there and a naming mod can go off any suitably roman nameset. Focus on the ships brother. I would also say make a special ship class for the battlestars locked behind a tech, but that tech also makes regular battleships much more expensive, but that's just me.

Use Blood and Chrome, The Plan, The Mini-Sodes, The ORIGINAL SERIES, and I would look at the BSG SHIP RECOGNIITION CHARTS on the web. Wow, it is happening. Slowly but surely.

I’m starting small first, smaller class ships are first in order, then bigger classes will be figured out, I’m also going to include Blood and Chrome ships

- as of now I’m mainly assembling things to make a BSG film, after that I’ll redo this whole mod, also including other things like colonial flags and naming conventions (possibly)

See, SEE! GOD has a plan! I mean...SQUIFFY has THE PLAN! Oh man there are a ton of designs. I just hope you can Size Mercury/Pegasus as a Titan and Galactica as a Dreadnought or Carrier, I have no idea what you would need or if I could help but I would love too! See others want this shipset too. That was a great show, had good space battle scenes and cool ships! Thanks SQUIFFY!

Right now I’m trying to get some models for each class, and I’m learning stellaris coding.

@ONE MAN ARMY, it wont as it is unless someone updates it. Which is what Squiffy was endeavoring to do. Closest thing right now is the UCF fleet the look kind of similar. Hopefully this will breath again and with more features and more ships. I can think of 25 Colonial and 25 Cylon ships I would like to add right now and they would be in all classes and sizes. I wish I could reverse 3D print my minitures for wargaming from BSG we would have 250+ ships and fighters and embarked craft galore for both fleets. Yeah or something. Thanks Squiffy good luck.

is there away to get this to work?

For those who need a placebo, that is very nice indeed, use the UCF Fleet from Starship Troopers. I am using it as a stopgap. Ironic, since I hate the SST films but love the book and Roughnecks!

Nice sounds very drool-worthy. Thanks. Cant wait, wish I was a developer I would love to help.
