    Very nice David. It will be some time before ARES gives us some auxiliary ships so you are well ahead of the curve.

    I can't find line drawings for either ships, especially the Stealthstar. Cards will be sparce without the blueprint drawings.

    However, I now have an image for the Stealthstar card back:

    PS: If using the ST-101 Bravo stats, this does have KE weapons and FTL.

    Could use these stats: OldGuy59's Battlestar Galactica Stuff Album - Blackbird

    I found something I could work with as line drawings for the Stealthstar:

    Note: I used the same stats as the Blackbird, so no idea if this is good.

    As I was developing the card graphics for the Mk I Shuttle, I noticed these things under the chin:

    Do these look a bit like rocket launchers? They could be. And being that the show never had a Shuttle in a combat situation, we'll never know.

    But, they could be something like launchable decoys, or self-defence weapons. Just saying. Being that missiles will be joining the mix in the near furture, having some defenses on a sitting duck could be useful.

    And we already have an ECM Raptor, so there are rules coming...

    PS: Nothing as extravagant (in volume: only four rockets on the shuttle), nor simple (launch the entire flare load and pray the missile locks on to the flares), as this:

    Dave,
    How much would/should it cost to print this thing? There is a Maker source in the Comox Valley.

    If I scale this thing, it comes out at 12.5cms (4.9 inches?). How much does this weigh?

    Did you have to do any finishing to hide ridge lines (from the printing process), or did you use a machine that reduces (eliminates) the ridges? Your results look very clean compared to some 3D print jobs I've seen.

    Total weight was about 40 grammes, I printed using a resin SLA printer at a resolution of 0.04mm, which is why it looks smooth

    A local maker shop will print this for me in FDM. It will be about $25 Cdn, mostly because I'm paying for labor. Resin is an option, but material costs are A Lot more.


    Next week, I'll hopefully post pictures.
