Probably four or five hours works from what was shown the last time. The difference is subtle… detailing on the ring support arms. That’s it. As with physical modelling, computer modeling gives fast buildup from nothing to “hey, I know what that is,” but once details start getting added, the process grinds to an apparent halt. Oh, well… progress is progress.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
The structural layout of the ship is interesting.
From an acceleration point of view it makes a lot of sense, as does the spin on the outer ring for gravity.
But it doesn’t fit into BSG from a technology point of view.
The engine looks almost like a plug-nozzle design, unlike the other ships in the fleet, and even small ships, in the TV series have gravity field generators in them.

The engine is as yet completely undetailed… looks like your standard sci-fi impulse arrangement. And the story on the Space Park is that it’s a really old ship from before the days of gravity generators, that managed to find a niche sentimental market; how likely it is that people would have FTL drives before gravity generators… shrug.
