Given his OUTSTANDING and tireless work here at Galacticon, and for showing the exact kind of initiative this Squadron needs so much, it was agreed upon by the council to give a Battle Field promotion to the rank of Corporal to full member "Jubal". Congratulations Greg. You earned it with blood, sweat, and putting up with a lot of grief. All that with a smile. Also, when something desperately needed to be said...you went straight to the top and didn't pull any punches. It's been an honor warrior! Hosted on Fotki

[Speechless]... Thanks everyone. Monolith21 and Spectre, with you two I felt that fun pilot banter I came to love watching Galactica and made for a perfect Galactica experience. Scoob, Rico, Cindy, Ed, (Ms. Spectre, Lil' Spectre), Missy (panel co-ordinator that I worked with) and Melissa (some current members and others recently joined or upcoming) also added flavor to the occasion. In short, where ever Blackstar Squadron decides to patrol next, I look forward to that comradery and banter. Let's do it again soon (but no sooner than about four months so I can pay off the Galacticon trip and save up for the next) Hopefully I will meet more of you on future patrols. Again, truly honored.

The next event will be the Comicon in New Orleans in January Gene and Renee Haggerty and the Raider will be there and want me and Cyndi to go. I told think that one will be fun.

New Orleans... now that would be a fun place to launch a few probes to scout out.
We need to look into making a life size viper. Or a cockpit mock up at least. Anyone looked into doing this yet? I figure someone has, but anyone we have contact with currently?

I know of 2 people who have done the mock ups. Charybdis here on the Forums had (yes, unfortunately past tense) a mock up he used in his Battlestar Callisto Short films. he couldn't take it with him when he recently moved.
Member Gee2 started building a Mock up that seems to be moving into the realm of a full Viper. I don't know what the current status of his build is, since he's since become inactive.
I would love to build a filming mock up. We may even be able to provide Control Sticks. I know I have one copy, but I'm not able to recast it for others. We will keep trying to source one to mold.

That is a shame about Charybdis' mock up. I remember seeing that in some of the Callisto films. As for Gee2 it would be interesting to know how the mock up went. Anyone have a way to write them, see how that went for Gee2? As a kid I once converted my closet crudely to be a Viper cockpit, playing Star Raiders on my Atari 400 for the game effect. Sometimes have drooled over the TRON joystick since it was the closest to the Viper flight stick I saw. I had no idea someone had made repros of the stick. That is awesome. I would either like make a Viper stick mock up for my Ps2 for Battlestar, or have even thought of hacking a Atari 800 for Star Raiders to have the key functions of a Raider and make the control panel. If you know a good guide on what switches were where and what they did, that would be helpful. At the very least a cockpit and controls I would like to attempt, if nothing else, for my game playing. And if I make it portable enough, bring to cons and share. (Can only imagine what it took to bring that Raider mock up inside.)

I have all of the cockpit graphics for you--you can build from those layouts.

Yeah that would be neat to build a Viper since we have a bodyshop could be a very neat project that could work

Congratulations on your promotion!!! Well deserved!!! Thanks! Great to be here among warriors. I have all of the cockpit graphics for you--you can build from those layouts. That sounds good. Let me know the best way to pick those up. Again at the very least I want to make a mockup of the switches and wire them directly into Atari 800 key switches for game play. If I get it working, could be fun for kids. Hey you can come help me with Rob me and Cyndi were just now talking about it That sounds cool. Are you two also in Houston? Think I need a new avatar...now that I have hair again. (laughs) Well, yeh, that is true. That is why I think I mistook you and Reaper at first avatar wise with the no hair thing on both avatars. I think with a little adjusting however you could easily pull off the Lloyd Bridges look.
