I am really enjoying this. And I do hope that The Station gets much needed TLC and possibly get updated design specs, and If exposed to Baltar's Upgrade Package, sees the flaw and deletes the program, or informs someone about the flaw of a backdoor being almost deliberately built in.
This time, the greed of two engineers on the decommissioning crew, ten years after the Armistice was signed, would change... Everything.
Really nice pics you found, thanks for taking the time to find and post them.Just found some awesome pics for reference to show sizes and types of stations and anchorages.
My favorite: its supposdly the Aerlion Anchorage personally looks awesome example of a fleet anchorage
This station could dock 24 valkyrie style battlestars on its lower docking pilons, along with space to dock 4 mercury`s or jupiters(galacticas class) she also has 8 open space minor repair bays on her lower pylons next to the bigger bays.
she had multiple hangers in her habitation rings for small craft
On her upper pylons she has a massive repair bay on one end, likly for the nova classes or battlestars bigger than mercury`s. but along her main spars she has space for 10 more mercury`s of smaller classes. ( you can actually see a mercury docked in the upper cradle on the left)
That means if a fleet is in she can dock 48 battlestars of various class, which considering you had 3 battlestars in a battlestargroup means she held enough battlestar for deply 8 battlestar groups, its likly she has bays on the habitation ring for escort ships to rollo dock nose on like galactica did at ragnar but they arent featured on the model.

I think from left o right you have 1) replacment Picon HQ 2) What Ragnor couldve been 3) Actual Ragnar station
bottom left 1) A variation of an orbital anchorage.

Probably not the latter given the timeframe, but te former is definitely going to happen.Hahaha great end line and glad to see you updated this again. I honestly either want to see colonials freak out and try to find the shipyard or your wonderful mc to grab up some refugees during the fall of the 12 colonies.
Great update, those colonials are going to have some wicked ptsd when they get home and no-one in high command believes them until they pull out the video message the MC sends with them. Then the high command will join the freak out.
I hope the MC plays his prisoners some music from Earth to really mess with their minds

the amusing thing is the colonials aare actually at this point likely to believe them, if he tells them that he was created by scorpia to guard against exactly what actually happen there will likely be some pretty egg on face reactions....I would expect though that the first 2 reactions by the fleet are a)try to find the station immediatly and b)Hunt down all those other secret projects that are likely on the other colonies. I know in canon the standard centurion or the UH model was caprican, but Picon also had a competing contract for their own it didnt win the military contract so was cancelled. The cyclon baseships were mostly bulit at scorpia and were originally designed to be the anchor points for battlestar groups and the colonials technically owned them all until the cylons turned on them, i think in canon they only lost the last baseship in the last year of the war and that was because it crashed.
The other thing is keep in mind the cylons infiltrated the colonial High command aswell as the civilian populations, about 10years after this point. So daidalous would have nearing on a decade to upgrade and buildup, this might terrify the cylons as he was made as a anti cylon fighting installation, odds are they will do the same as the colonials and that is try and hunt him down as quick as possible.
The amusing image is if the fall still happens somehow, him turining up in a moon sized daidlous escorted by hundreds of jupiter class battlestars that werent built on a budget, would likly scare the bejesus out of everyone, More hilarous would be giving the battlestars all MCP based of his own and them believing hes their dad/mom going to rescue their big grump sister(galactica) and their nieces and nephews(the other battlestars and ships) WTF faces all around lol.
The single most important new design spec is the miniaturised FTL drives in Raptors, which is why he took a couple intact to reverse engineer.I am really enjoying this. And I do hope that The Station gets much needed TLC and possibly get updated design specs, and If exposed to Baltar's Upgrade Package, sees the flaw and deletes the program, or informs someone about the flaw of a backdoor being almost deliberately built in.
^ThisArmistice to Holocaust was 40 years, so this is 30 years too early for Daidalos to be exposed to that.
Unfortunately regular diplomacy is difficult when your only tool is killer robots.nice chapter thx for writing it good to see this back in action
ah diplomacy at gun point the best kind of diplomacy
We shall see!I can just imagine what everyone is thinking about Daidalos. Like "poke it with a stick." Maybe create a third faction that sends out spam to mess with their systems.
I know that politics would be a problem on the human side but our MC would not care about it because he is the sole authority of himself. I wonder what he will create next.

Thanks for the picture!Just for fun an awesome pic of daidalos above the scorpia shipyard
It looks like something that could concievably be built as an upgrade, yeah.Honestly would love to see the mid top as a later on development of the shipyard. It be both an improvement of ship handling and docking while also building more defense and offensive weapon systems. It just a thought.
The mid top one would be perfect for a late game example, the original daidalos had the three bays already so simply removing them and building the lower assembly should be easy, but bare in mind the lower assemble docks 24 valkyrie sized, 22 jupiter/mercury`s and she also has 3 central massive bays for fighters and support craft.
You will notice aswell her lower spar leading to the comm tower(which was also the area used to link to the IDRIS network(colonial satnav basically)) and fusion reactor is massively beefed up and seems to have bigger struts aswell to the sides. that says to me she likely had a jumpdrive built in similar to daidalos, (in reality the daidalos had 4 that were syched together)
It's a possibility, to distinguish Daidalos from Colonial Fleet if nothing elseIt looks like when it first launched not the Jupiter war refit. Still nice pic. I cant share the war-refit but it easily enough to find. Hmm maybe you can create some of the fandom battlestar designs or strikestar, gunstar, or other smaller ships for defense.
one final pic from as love it beutiful shot of galactica in her prime
Links are broken I see nothing. This is a mix of OBSG and Nu or just NuBSG?They also did have stealth vipers similar to the one adama shot down when he commanded the valkyrie, i would like to think they built more as most militaries did.
The pheonix was this weird shuttle for VIP`s
And finally this thing that was apparantly a sub oribital vechile, i would assume it was mothballed or the marines just kept them so i added them in.
The Doomsday Clock is ticking, but there's still time actually stop it.I love that there are still quite a few years until the genocide starts
