Caprica Fighter

[Rook]

Ah yes the Zodiac MOCer LIVES!

Ok so I'm doing the Zodiac Killer meets BSG meets SWU. So since these ships are just going to be wild and unusual and mainly just for fun, I'm going to say they're the Clone Wars Era versions of these "well known" fighters.

I like it, it reminds me of a ship in the HALO video game. The colors are not my favorite but it works very well, just not my personal preferance. The slanted nose technique is very appealing.

You had me going on the name of this, it's excellent , but what's it doing in the Star Wars area. It has BSG elements in it, so shouldn't be in the Sci-Fi theme area, that's just my opinion anyway.

I do also like the slanted nose too and it doesn't appear to well armed though - only two laser/plasma cannons - is there other weapons ?

I'm a conformist! 'Rook' !

The ship looks great but Im not sure about the orange cockpit. It seems out of place to me. I like the light grey things sticking out they look really cool.

Great work!

Who knows the story behind it though, maybe it's from a really cold white planet, in which the orange lens would really help brighten things up.

That’s what I really love about the Star Wars Universe. There really is no limit to what you can go. Remember what we’ve seen in the SWU is all pretty much just one galaxy except for Outbound Flight and Yuuzhan Vong. So even if it’s too “BSG” there’s nothing to say that BSG isn’t just the next Galaxy over. That being said these are meant to be more Zodiac meets SWU but because of the similarity to BSG names I thought I’d let people know these aren’t designed with BSG in mind. You’ll be seeing Clones, Droids, Jedi, or Sith showing up as their pilots. This is kind of a “Rise of Rebellion” shot/MOC since these guys are wearing orange jumpsuits. But they could be smugglers, terrorists, or Bob & Judy on vacation.

'Bob, did you put out the Rancor before we left ?'

'Oops, No sorry Judy......Bantha do-do.... we've just jumped in to hypespace !'

Thanks you for explaining the back story even more so, I'm afraid that original Star Wars is my cup of tea so to speak.
