Cylon Base Star
This is uncolored because I tend to ruin my designs with color. I'm still going to add nukes and either missile batteries or laser cannons in the ends. I build the two sections sepretly to show depth if the top is destroyed. Download will be up once weapons are finished.
I am currently about 80% done with the battlestar, 20% with the tiger class cruiser, and I've got a handful of civilian ships Im saving for the encounter. For the encounter I made mini galactica and base star, neither are made for appearance but rather balance. The base star's weapons are more powerful, its armor stronger but no point defense, and has many many more fighters. I made it the newer version cuz the older is boring in 2d. The galactica is armored but has weak poiints, has weaker weapons but lots of flak cannons. It has fewer fighters but they are harder to hit since they have skilled human pilots. It also has nukes but it requires some piloting to use them. Not sure how the encounter will play yet, but in one on one both ships have won easily depending on how I flew them. I will put up downloads and if you see anything that needs balancing let me know so I can finish it before I put up the encounter.
Save humanity, get the girl, and smoke some good stuff(because yes, in the original, half the crew were stoners)

Crush humanity! Despite looking like a lizard, isnt this enough of a goal?

In the new BSG your certainly right. In the original they used energy weapons, except for two instances when they used nukes which destroyed the base star they were fighting. The cylons didn't use missiles because they had their mega pulse beams or whatever but then those ones weren't created by humanity so we might as well consider them two different species.
This battle star is not meant to be Galactica. For the sake of defying those who would say it doesn't look like the new or old one, I will say this is one of the four battle stars Commander Cain built on the planet his ship escaped to following it's supposed destruction. Three of those were destroyed in a battle but one escaped and joined the colonial fleet along with the Pegasus.
Its balanced the way I want it, but the base star will need redoing. The big demetor is a bomber...Any suggestions are welcome
