Thread: Adjudtments to the BSG fleet

    Adjudtments to the BSG fleet

    In using the Battlestars in an actual fight the Close-in-Weapons/Flack Guns/anti-fighter guns were of little use. So I sat back and looked at the ship again and then it hit me. I made the choice listed below. I also studied drawings and some Hi resolution images and watched dozens of videos to count the CIWs placements.

    Close-in-Weapons/Flack Guns
    Even thought the Battlestars are heavily armored Battlewagons the missile fire at the ship or the scraping run by a fighter must pass through the anti-fighter screen of explosive flack fire by hundreds of small rail guns. The moment the fighter enters the flack barrier the fighter is at risk of taking 10 damage. The fighter or whoever fired the missile must make a difficulty challenge to pass through the flack of 13.

    Below there is the version of the Battlestar Galactica from the series Blood and Chrome Series. With the addition of the rail guns the Battlestar becomes a budget buster.

    Enjoy.

    Looks like you were almost designing this:
    http://www.klingon-empire.org/photop..._Galactica.jpg

    The manufacturing facilities and machine shops are custom tech it looks like, unless you are using the Replicator network to simulate the manufacturing facilities.

    For the fighters, do you plan on fleshing them out a bit, then hyperlinking from the above so we can look at them as well?

    Not Really. It started out as a fun project then moved into an actual game five years before the second Cylon war.
