Fantastic! This was my favorite place other than the viper cockpit. You always knew that a Cylon plot or encounter was going to happen. So much detail. :)
Thanks! One of those iconic set from both the new and the old show. I've recently revamped this rig to fit with the hangar deck, and I'll be launching a new ship soon. So stay tuned! |

Uhm... what powers this launcher? Something like an electromagno mesh syncranizing ion blasting blah, blah, blah?! Sounds techie enough... anywho... me likey! :)
No no, not that complicated. It's BSG, not Star Trek. It's just a magnetic catapult. Thanks for checking it out!

As usual, great delivery, especially with the reduced viper coming out of the stud hole. But why, for efficiency's sake, would you not reuse the same tube to launch a second viper. Optimizing for latency of full launch is only worth so much resource, seems to me.
Well, I'm not sure if they have more than 40 Vipers anyway. After Pegasus is destroyed, I think they have more, but then they're short on pilots. But I don't see any reason not to re-use a tube. Thanks for the comment! |
