Adm. combat report We deep dicked the ass kicking stick in them sir

(20 minutes later) Admiral: well that was unexpected Captain I have received your after Action Report well done I will send a salvage ship out there momentarily (the Eve online Razzle Dazzle strikes again)

Oh yeah, I found those a lot of times.

Definitely more than one of those... Not to mention the whole 'Reunions are a /Deleted/' spin where various pre-fall Colonies decide to invade those Monad Heathens of Stargate Earth...

Though I have never found a fanfic that explores it, I have always found the crossover potential in a Pre-Second Cylon war Colonies, early SG-1 Stargate infinitely more interesting than late Stargate, Post-Holocaust Colonies. There is only really one way for the second scenario to go. They fight over stupid mis-understandings, the later Stargate tech wipes the floor with the Colonies, they eventually find peace. But the earlier scenario? You have the potential for a fully industrialized, relatively competent, highly militaristic, space flight capable civilization along with Tauri trying to fight a very different, likely much larger war against the Goa'uld in a galaxy still dominated by them pre-Replicator invasion. The tech difference would make the match up interesting in the early exchanges, but its definitely not insurmountable to the Colonies. If a single 20th century, early 21st century nation largely working on its own in secret can relatively quickly make progress to match the Goa'uld, the Colonies would undoubtedly have the science cracked in no time. Of course, figuring out the science and bringing the fleet up to standards is two very different things so it would make it abit of a race against time story, able to do damage to the Goa'uld on a larger scale then SG Command could do when picking their fights, but relying on trying to keep the Colonies hidden / safe from large scale Goa'uld assault long enough to bring the entire military up to a standard where they could more safely challenge the Goa'uld. All the while the Tauri and Colonies could work together on SG style operations to undermine the Goa'uld and along the way learn more about the history of the universe. Hell, you could probably even quite easily fit the Colonies 'origins' into the Stargate universe, with the conveniently Greek 'Lords of Kobol' being a group of Goa'uld ruling over Kobol, or Lanteans fleeing Atlantis and setting about on their mission to enlighten early humanity. Either way the timelines mostly lines up with the Exodus from Kobol.

@@sstimulants That actually _was_ the plot of a fanfic I read a while back, though unfortunately, it died off without properly being seen to conclusion. It was actually decently written and included the Cylon infiltration of the Colonies (this was set a few years before their little plan was set to be carried out), which nobody's aware of, all while the Cylons themselves are trying to figure out just what the hell is up with the odd Colonial military movements. "Dust of the Stars", it was called.

I doubt Colonials would have anything to offer post SG: Atlantis Earth - Asgard knowledge Alone is so beyond colonials had.... on the other hand

That's canon, but what the Galactica's group had that the others didn't was 1) fuel replenishment and 2) the ability to grow food. Without those, a group is literally on a death timer.

The entire plot of the fan-made game "Diaspora" revolved around another Battlestar that survived the Cylon sneak-attack. you play as a viper pilot, stationed on the Battlestar Theseus, and go on missions around the colonies, trying to fight back the Cylons. The game was excellent. if you've not played it, i highly recommend it.

@@numberyellowwas it ever “finished”. The reason I never played it was during that time it was not.

@@caelestigladii Oh yes, it (Diaspora: Shattered Armistice) was finished. I played the complete version a few years ago. Over at Hard-Light, you can still get it. They even put the soundtrack up for download too. They were working on another game, but progress stalled.

@@numberyellow Thanks.

I had forgotten about this game. Had it and it was hard as hell and I don't think I actually managed to finish it. Wonder if I can find it in a box somewhere...

I have that game. Buried in a CD case somewhere. I remembered the missions where you're the Galactica and the guns were wonky.

It's the BSG universe version of the Tillman Battleships from the 1920's. Basically US Senator Benjamin "Pitchfork" Tillman (Who was a complete *BASTARD* BTW), tired of the US Navy asking for more money each year to build progressively bigger and bigger battleships, just asked the US Navy Bureau of Construction, what was the very biggest warship they could possibly build. The result was a series of designs that were absolutely monstrous in size and firepower, the largest of these proposals being half-again as big as the IJN Yamato.

Here is the story sir drive.google.com/drive/folders/1YoW8mPnP0JgteAM9F11vvrwozmzNeJs9 Note Prologue S1 and rest through S3 enjoy

Bare in mind, the Mercury class was in the minority, most of Colonial fleet at the time of the attack were Valkyrie class, much smaller, far less armour and fewer guns because Colonial feet were under the impression the Cylons no longer posed a threat and moved to faster lighter ships capable of chasing down pirates and lightly armed civilian threats.

@@Valehass But in numbers the Valkyrie Class was at least as dangerous. Would you rather face a dragon, the Jupiter or Mercury class, or a pack of wolves, the Valkyie.

Then Elon showed up with his cyber truck

Nerd cookies and spacedock. Which I wish would do more

@@shanenolan5625 you're a hero bro I've been searching

can i have a copy of the pdfs?

i too would like one

I also would like a copy

if you have a copy I would mind a read.

I would like a copy as well

Who knows what we will get in Homeworld 3? Might get just that.

... not to mention Diaspora wich he doesnt seem to know about either.

Man, I made some of my first internet friends in BSGO. No idea where they are now.

@@mahazkei7709Same honestly, hell i grew up playing BSGO

Wait bsg online got shut down ive been thinking of going back and giving it another go well that's a shame it played kinda ok.

@@Kaiber_Phoenix It was fun for a while, but since the show faded away and there wasn't really anything new in the game, I only logged in for the daily freebies and logged out. Shame though, I really had a bad ass gunship that swatted toasters away like an angry pimp with brass knucks going after a gaggle of hoes not paying their dues! 🤣

In My Saga, Two of Them did Survive: The Thermopylae and Achilles

I love Blood And Chrome Galactica's hangar facility. It looks like real, busy, futuristic carrier inside. I understand why it looked like it looked in RDM series but seeing it in prime makes my inner nerd drooling.

Maybe if we could find the original creator we may have a chance of getting it back. As I am sure they'd have kept something of it if not the whole thing.

More like Tillman battleships cranked up to eleven and then squared... Like BAD-fanfic-levels of over-the-top.

Could you share the link?

I'd love to read this as well.

Sorry, the site is fanficion.. battlestar galactica 2003. And you will get a list of stories. I think the writer was ( les imry ) . There are a few different stories. We're the cnp is discovered. What if sort of stories. . ( I can't send a link ) for dome reason .

The title of the story I read . Was . ( the dawn of war ) part one and two .

I've read that one it's not bad

I’ll take your whole stock!

I just remembered I got stuck on mission 11 when you have to pilot the Cobra bomber to destroy Cylon heavy tankers in atmosphere. That mission is frustrating. If I remember correctly, someone on KZfaq upload a playthrough of the whole game.

LOL! "I'm a warship I HATE to lose!"

Look up the Sanctuary class Warstar then. That thing is basically the BSG version of the UNSC Infinity (RIP) from Halo

Imagine.....galactica with it's civilian fleet....pegasus link up....then a Nova with several mecuries as escorts and civilian fleet. How spectacular that would've been? More space battles, perhaps after the resurrection ship destruction, a mad chase against the cylons🤷‍♂️

@@user-yq3fz9ch5q They retake the colonies, but they're scorched. All they can do now is mourn, and move towards a new future. Take everything and everyone that remains, and leave behind the past in hope of a brighter future.

There is one, called bsg deadlock. However this ship isn't present. But you can play up to a mercury class. Highly recommend the game.

Normies don't know what BSG was.

They made a big mistake...DOOM GUYS BACK BABY.
