Hi all orbinauts

[marooder86]

Hello,

A few weeks ago I decided to make second attempt to Orbiter. At the first time I was both, astonished and terrified . I had some experience with simulators before because I'm interested in military aviation, but even though all this astro mechanic things seemed to me a little bit complicated:uhh:. I left Orbiter in hope some mysterious force will give me the power to comprehend Orbiter's complexity. And it happened. I watched Re-imagined BSG on TV and fascination about space travels and ships(vessels) returned. Of course my appetite is much bigger now and I want my own Battlestar. And since I have knowlege about C++ programming, have some experience with 3D modelling and 2D graphics, it might happen.
Basically that's why I'm here. I want to gather as many information as possible and maybe in a year or two develop my own vessel or vessels as a contribution to Orbiter's community.
I hope I'll manage to do that.

Greetings to all.

Hello marooder86 and welcome to Orbiter forum. And i have been developing an addon for awhile now and i am preparing it for release. It is a ship too and they can be simple to make or ultra complex machines like the ravenstar. Best of luck to you.

LOL!
It was no mistery. It was the Allmighty

Welcome! I guess it'll take you less than "a year or two", if you already have those knowledges.

She is a real beauty:thumbup:
I just love the way this ship looks like. So who knows, maybe some day I'll manage to have one. But now I'm focusing on something much smaller and simpler.

If you really want to fly one of those ships, no need to make your own. You can always browse the numerous BSG add-ons that have already been released.

I know that. I have those. But no matter how good they are and how I like "Galactica" Battlestar i have my own vision of a battleship and I tend to change this vision into a piece of C++ code and meshes.
This is a long term project since designing a space ship this big from a scratch is a lot of work which I'm completely aware of.
I've already started designing a transport shuttle for it and with some little motivation from a mighty maybe I'll be able to show first screenshots in a couple of weeks.
