has this mod stalled? 

No. 

Awesome!

How will the Cetus and Jupiter compare to the Cylon Colony in terms of size? I'm thinking that although closely matched in strength, the Colony should be larger? 

What do you think Z? 

No offense, but those hangars look really dumb just hanging on the small center section like that.  Try and make the center section larger and have the connections the hangars use to connect to it be a lot more robust.  This really doesn't look at all like a battlestar.  Keep in mind these ships need to store fuel, ammo, food, air, water, and spare Vipers and Raptors, and all that takes up space, so this really needs a massive central area.

This is a image showing the top of the ship, i don't know if you see the actual ship in kyogre12 mod, but the hangars cover only aprox 15% of the wings, so there is a lot of place for fuel, ammo, food, air, fighter/bombers...

We will wait and see what ZombiesRus5 will write... 

I agree that cylon colony should be larger then the Cetus and the Jupiter.

Great work Z and Koobalt. Thank you for a good April fools joke glad it wasn't true

They'll stop when I port to Rebellion. 

One thing i don't like about the Jupiter design is that it doesnt have the "Gator Head" that all other battlestars seem to have, though in all honesty i don't even know whether or not that would work with the eight hangar sections surrounding it.. but i would definitely like to see the mid section be much larger and actually connecting fully with the hangar sections rather than having pieces connecting them together. It just looks flimsy having the small connection paths, like a single nuke or even a few well placed missiles would severely damage what is supposed to be a beast of a ship.

Honestly, I never intended to finish a diplomacy version. The modding potential is so much greater with rebellion for creating mods with unique characteristics. I'll likely get the last of the models in place though with my final Diplomacy releases, but the real meat will be with Rebellion.

Z.... A while back, NHD-151 wrote this:

"Hey Zombie, I wonder if you read a post a couple pages back from me about researches? never got a response.

It just asked if it was possible to have two researches be dependent on the other NOT being researched, IE Research 1 is bought, so research 2 is now unavailable. Something i had thought of to find a way to distinguish between play styles (defensive vs offensive, or cultural/economical vs militaristic).

And working off of that, i wonder if i might help you out with research tree designs. I'm drawing up a schematic of the research tree interface so i can tinker with tiers and the number of researches and how they link together. I am planing on starting with the cylons, as their offense research three currently has a bunch of weapon researches that are useless, same with shield research.

I look forward to your input." 

Looks like he's done a bit of work already? I've sent him a PM to ask him to help out.

Also, you've already posted a draft research tree for colonial a few pages back.... aren't you just working from this? 

I'm also pulling together all of the suggested abilities that have been posted across this forum. Once I have compiled this, I'll shoot it through. 

Also thinking of of ability ideas for the Colony.... 

Hey Z, NHD-151 said that he actually posted up a mock research tree for Colonial at some stage. I've had a look back over the forum and I can't actually find it. Do you remember seeing it? I'll ask him. 

I think he really does want to help out... All you would need to do is ask him. He's got some great ideas.  

What do you think of this Koobalt? (and everyone else!): 

I Think like Koobalt it's too Star Trek.  This might give a good Idea what it could look like.
