Galactica (TOS) and Pegasus (RDM) Comparison Images
I edited the images myself, the Pegasus was taken from a screenshot of the Pegasus (210) preview video at SciFi.com/battlestar, and the image of the Galactica was taken from BattlestarGalactica.com.
- Nice image, thanks a lot. Welcome to the Wiki. It's good to see new faces here. --Talos 21:58, 8 October 2005 (EDT)
Comments from Pegasus(RDM) designer
The comments I added to the notes section of the Mercury Class Battlestar page were from direct correspondence with Jose A. Perez. He has a great website and seems very enthusiastic about his work. http://www.fxstation.com/index.html
- Very nice. :-) Would it be possible to post snippets of the e-mail -- with Mr. Perez's permission, of course -- in this subpage? Thanks! -- Joe Beaudoin 21:48, 12 October 2005 (EDT)
- Well, with the exception of his greeting, I included all his text, in the same order as it originally appeared. I edited some punctuation but no more. :)
- I'll post my correspondence here for you to judge whether it requires its own page:

hello there...
The new design was somewhat of a cross between the look of the old class battlestars, and yet with elements of the new one..Aside from that, it has mostly hull plating (to absorb more damage) , as opposed to the Galactica which has more ribbing...
The harder edges were intentional as well, to match the interior style of the sets more.
