@99justin - read a bit. This is a very old mod and was made before thrusters could damage stuff. Unless thruster damage is turned off, thi ship WILL kill itself.

make a vertion where it doesn't destroy itself please.

Until there is a game mechanic that can do a catapult i think the best launch tubes for now would be just triangular tube a little bigger than the viper and you fly out uder your own power. It already accelerates so fast.

well it's built to a roughly accurate scale 1.2km long and 500m wide. Your Vipers fit, maybe not enough room for a full complement but well worth it. Can't figure out how to make launch tubes..

@UberSeraph Go for it! Please make use of them. Your Battlestar must be huge if it is built to the same scale as these vipers...

Hello Lodebeard! Great work on the Vipers. Shame that the landing gear stuggles with the G-forces that a viper can pull but lets hope that improves with the game.

I am currently building the old Nova Class Galactica from the 70's and would love to include your Vipers in it. Is that ok? If you agree then I will of course tell the world of your great work in the description when I post it on the workshop :)

ps. I have modified them to work with thruster damage.

challenge accepted. but good work none the less!

@JaHck23 Thruster damage is turned off by default when you download the world, so it should work. Is the ship not working for you?

Revising it so the ship could function with thruster damage turned on is impossible because of the design

hello, this is a great work, but can you machine again revise, because of the thruster damage?

@Lodebeard I live in Moscow. This is beautiful city. But only then you live here 1 year. I think all cities beautiful but if you live there many years you don't surprised by this city.

@[LZOMB] Pikachu I would love to see Russia someday, especially St. Petersburg and Moscow and Volgograd. But with our governments at odds the way they are now I would not go. Maybe someday when everyone calms down ;)

@Lodebeard Hah... Haha... Don't learn Russian this is hard language... But if you go in Russia ... ^_^

Ha ha you have misunderstood. I said your English is much better than my Russian, meaning that you should not apologize for your poor English because I do not speak Russian at all!

@Lodebeard Если так, то могу только похвалить вашу работу. Все сделано очень качественно.

@Lodebeard You know Russian?! Lol... You first man who know Russian and I know him...

@[LZOMB] Pikachu Haha your English is much better than my Russian! And thank you for your very generous words :)

it is very cool!

Good. Very good. I can play with my friends, make a base... And destroy my base on this ship . I think you make more ship and they are beautiful. (I from Russia. I bad know English but a use Google Translater for one word - beautiful)

@Maelstrom 51L20 @☣durtyfrenchmen☣½god
Thanks! It makes me happy to know you guys are enjoying these.

nice vipers good work on them verry close to the real deal.

Even though they are out of scale you have done an amazing job on these ships. Keep up the good work!

@evanbaxter Your work is very nice. Bravo!
I chose a larger than life scale to reduce the 'Lego' effect. You have done quite well at minimizing the Lego effect even though your scale is smaller.

Today's hotfix added an option to turn off thruster damage. Thruster damage is now turned off by default in this world, and the ship once again functions.

@Jahkx Thanks dude. Maybe a Raptor next :)

I fucking love you, make raiders and raptors

check this and all my collection) http://gtm.steamproxy.vip/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=229184328&searchtext=

have you put it on the workshop? I'd love to check it out.

I already made it, lol)

As of the latest update, thrusters now can deal damage to blocks. This build has several internal thrusters, so it is likely when the new update happens this ship will no longer be usable until I remove the internal thrusters. I will try to get this fixed as soon as I can. In the meantime, feel free to download it and rip out the 4 internal thrusters yourself if you have a problem.

@evanbaxter52

You're right, it is longer than the 8.4 meters listed as the length of a MK.II Viper on the Battlestar Wiki. In my original version the nose was too short in comparison to the rest of the body, and when I was in the process of lengthening the nose I decided to try adding landing gear, which meant shifting the power plant aftward and lengthening the nose even further. I think now, even though it is a bit larger than the real thing, that it looks proportional. If you would like a copy of my original shorter version let me know and I can pm you the file. Also, all the other Vipers out there are WAY smaller than 28 feet long. I think this is the closest to actual size out there right now. If you make one that is more to scale let me know I'd love to see it :)

it's too big....

@Tostito

I'm glad you like it!

If it's drawing 90% then there must have been another change to the game. All my tests were drawing 80% at full forward. I'll have to try it out again.

No raptor in the works yet, although the thought is rattling around in my head for sure. Until we have some heavy ordnance to fling around though I'm not too keen on that project. I have also thought of making a battlestar to scale with it, but there are already loads of cool basttlestars out there on a smaller scale, and it would be a life-swallowing project to build one to the same scale as this Viper.

well built also. 90 percent power on full forward.

you got a raptor in the works?

nice. this one has depth.

So rad :D

They see me rollin. . .

Oh. Shit.

This thing is f****** gorgeous.
