So say we all

The Minerva Class is my favorite Battlestar. You've done remarkable work. The Lords of Kobol bless you.

try sitting in the correct seat lol

Ship doesn't fly right. Pressing A for example makes the ship reverse.

Update : Complete Visual overhaul and reshape + New weapons and optimizations for launch tubes . New screenshots .

Thought i would revisit this one as the nose has always bugged me . The interior will stay its dated form as they take too long to do but it should be much more fun to play this thing now .

LMAO that cinematic! I love this

she's, beautiful, brings a tear too my eye.

nice ye i tend to skip over pressuriseation on the smaller vessles because i have to compact them . glad you like it .

oh okay. i kind of wish we could get our hands on the firefox station looks really sweet. also i'm playing a personal survival world with two friends and we actually have a adament frigate from your collection on there already (the furious). She's nearly completed i'm just making a few little changes to the design on the insides, noticed she was pressurised lol, might be a bit of a problem going into space. i slightly redesigned the inside to make her pressurised in compartments (reactor room, cic, jump engine core room and even the hanger deck area) hope you don't mind me tweeking her. also managed to add two forward rocket launchers (i know not original deadlock game design, but i'm thinking more SE practical). also managed to include a basic refinery in her (well hidden in of course) for ammo crafting with her assembler system. make her more independent in case main space base goes bye bye lol.

glad you like it . Shes one of the more performance freindly battlestars i have . as for firefox Its just made from random station bits i put together not detailed by any means not worth uploading really.

amazing work on this ship. can't wait to get her flying out there. quick question if i may, you have the scorpia shipyards station, but i cant seem to find that the outpost base that's in the video at (4:11) some place called firefox station. will you do put this station up to. i like the idea of having forward operating outpost bases. pretty please

Man, best video...

The CIC is the bridge its a battlestar . Combat information centre is where the ship is controlled from . Bridges are stupid and not tactical presenting a massive weak spot .

i have explored the whole ship even in spectator and i found the CIC but i cant find the bridge

ok this is an awesome ship but where the crap is the bridge

23k roughly

how many blocks?

im going to leave the minerva ones on just because its one of my few battlestars that doesnt require a turret script and works in vanilla .

something you might wanna try, which will be better than my shoddy work, is replacing the missile turrets with the ones from your galactica, makes it look more like is from deadlock but was a pain to set up.

i love this class of battlestar and the youtube channel spacedock makes a good ship analysis video for it

thanks man :)

My dude, that trailer/video was friggin fantastic. You earned yourself a sub just for that (the ship is friggin awesomesauce as well though, just to be clear)

Hoorah for Minerva :)

Thanks i love this ship .They are indeed . everything is survival ready on that ship. Also just a note i just fixed the lag issues with "The beast" . :D .

This is a fantastic ship. It runs great as a ship not lagging like the beast :)
I love that you put connectors over the place so we can dock miners to resupply the ship in survival.

Just a quick question for you, apart from the flak system (interior turrets), are all the other weapons (gatling turret, missile turret and rocket launchers) linked to cargo with conveyors

Thanks this is a beautiful ship and amazingly fun.

Love the video wit this ship, job well done !!

@Draven oh i assure you this is factually correct as it is a ship designed and displayed in an official battlestar galactica game . named the minerva class designed by Colonial fleet in secret during the rebelion of one of the colonies i belive it was tauron. The name itself if simply just a name as many battlestars reused names of their decomissioned or fallen brothers. Galactica was used twise both for a artemis and the Jupiter from the 2004 reboot. The name icarus was chosen because its part of greek mythology ( i think ) which most the ships in the BSG universe follow.

Thank you

great build but you got the lass wrong, Icarus is an Odin Class Battlestar, there is no minerva class

Thank you :p Thats what i was going for. Tried to capture the camera shake shown in the series

Great video, really resembles the style of the show

:D thankyou

@Husker

Can't wait! Love the Scorpia fleet yards, can't wait to see that as well! Keep em coming man, you're the best BSG builder here, its good to see!

Looking forward to those!

@Galm 1 . After scorpia which is finished just not uploaded yet im gonna build a cylon arachie. After that im gonna build the Atlas carrier because its a gorgeos thicc boy

Any chance of seeing:

Janus-class heavy cruiser
Atlas-class carrier
Manticore-class corvette
Minotaur-class gunship

Been playing a lot of Deadlock and really like those ship designs. Your Jupiter-class is still my favorite design!

I think I'm in love.

so cool!!

Oh boi ! Can't wait to see a Battlestar Valkyrie

Currently im building scoripia shipyards and then i want to make a cylon ship but i may be able to make one at some point these builds just take alot of time so i cant make everything i want at once

Can you do the Manticore Corvette, I would love to see a small but fast attack ship that I don't mind loosing.

Thank you <3

This is next level. Well done

I started diffrently with this. I first made the flight pods with symmetry mode and used them as a reference point to add the 6 struts that connect to the main body. From there it allowed me to eye ball the scale and i mapped out simple lines going in each direction showing where the ship stops.
Then using heavy armor i made a basic frame and shape. then using light armor i plated it and molded the shape of it. ( the main bulkhead took hours ) Then i used indentation and reference images to find where the detail goes on the ship and painted the outside. Then came the basic interior , interior detail , systems , piping , scripts , testing and such . Overall the ship took around 50hours because i wanted it to be perfect as my ships are not all 100% survival ready however this one even has preloaded materials.

Cheers for the support. If u need tips on building or want to ask a few questions add me on steam im always happy to help if i can.

Man what an amazing creation.Im also BSG fan and building BSG style ships,but my only true succes was my Assult Raptor.How are you doing such and amazing details,and compact it all to be functional.I i wish i could build such ship as you.Could you give some tips,or tricks you use to make details?Do you first build the raw ship and then add details,or you are doing details from start?

I have seen :D plesent suprise !

Captain jack just featured this Minerva in a video released today! Thought you might like to know.

As an avid watcher of the show this is pleasing to see

The design is scaled against all my ships . Im not making it completely diffrent scale because of a mechanic i dont like and i have already tested with the 7 block range and found it too hard and unpratical to work with this . If u want to have a non internal thruster variant be my guest but have fun making the design look bad .

I understand it was made to fit in the bsg universe and be a replica doesnt't exuse flaws and if you cant find a way to create a desgin without the ship trying to impode on spawn, then being forced to think outside of the box in a practical way isn't your forte. you shouldn't crutch on the fact thruster damage is turned off in servers. in your desgins your "creativity" is stacking thrusters on thrusters instead of desgining a larger ship to hold these kind of engines is lazy. if you find it disporportional then adjust the rest of the ship to fit these needs. just because you don't like a feature doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Most servers have thruster damage on meaning i can't choose any server i want i have to cross my fingers and hope that the only populated server in the game has thruster damage off.

@JD this is a replica model . If u read the discription it clearly states that to fit the universe of BSG and so it looks accurate i have internal thrusters . I personally do not like thruster damage as a game feature as it takes away artistic creativity so i refuse to have it hinder my designs . Good day
