Description
Seems to me those stupid Colonials could have saved themselves a lot of trouble by using their amazing FTL starships to do a bit of exploring now and again.
So here's my science vessel, the ResearchStar, erm, Tonypandia. I need to work on the textures, add losts more greebles, and think of a better name.

ResearchStar as a ship class name works (GRIN). Nice job!

Very cool ship, I can't wait to see what you do with it. Oh, and the Tonypandia is a better name then the Kungfupandia

Looks like you are off to an excellent start -- it will be interesting to see this evolve. In a sort of opposition point to Blacksteel's comment -- in a world where productive men are free to build whatever means necessary to accomplish their goals and bring their visions to fruition -- the very idea that man is arrogant to challenge any frontier is, in truth, only the envious cry of those without the vision, or the courage, to do so on their own terms. Daedalus crafted wings with an understanding that man's rational mind can use knowledge of the natural world to build the means to fly -- and Icarus fell not because of arrogance, but because he disregarded the rational observation of the physical constraints which permitted that flight. The lesson you take from a parable is dependent on the character of your philosophy. In short: don't drink the cool-aid handed out by the meddling naybobs of negativity. Be bold. Be inventive. Be productive -- and the world shall be your oyster. If you build it -- they will come.

A very nice design!

On the technical aspect I like the design. Though it needs at least a shuttle/raptor launch bay for exploration, even if it might not be carrying vipers. Perhaps some sort of internal bay? As far the colonials and exploration, in the Original Series the Colonials had explored, being the ones who had discovered the Cylons when they were still a reptillian race. Somewhere it was intimated that Count Iblis was the one that lead them down the path of mechanization that led to them being cyborg/robots. In the later series, so much was left unanswered or jumbled, but I got the feeling that whatever happened to cause the human race to flee Kobol for the 12 Colonies left them very isolationist so to speak, unwilling to explore or leave the nest. But again, that's more of a general feeling than anything concrete.

Another fine ship design - looking forward to seeing it set in a scene!
