i made up some very large (40x32), v sprites for battle animations like in Advance Wars, I'm actually quite proud of them. From top to bottom: Cylon Raider, Colonial Viper, Colonial Raptor.



For those who are not familiar with the show, some info on the various ships:

Raiders are the Cylons' primary space superiority fighters. They come in several varieties. They all carry twin auto cannons mounted under the wing and most have missiles of some form; one variety carries nuclear missiles for taking out enemy capital ships. They are equal in speed and maneuverability of a viper. The Raider's chief advatange, however, is the great mass in which the Cylons are able to produce them; also it is suspected that Raiders are piloted by remote, a great advantage over the manpower-strapped Colonial Fleet. However, in my game, the Raiders will carry neither missiles nor have jump capabilities (except in a few missions).
Vipers are the Colonials' primary space superiority fighter. Most of Galactica's Vipers are of the sopmewhat outdated Mark II variety. The Galactica had just been decommissioned when the Cylons wiped out the Twelve Colonies, and was to become a flying museum. Therefore, most of her newer Mark VII and VIII Vipers had been re-assigned to battlestars on active duty. Most of the Mark IVs and remaining Mark VII Vipers were destroyed by the Cylon virus, as they used newer computer linkages which the Mark II did not have. The Viper has no jump capability and a limited missile package; however it is very fast and maneuverable. Unfortunately, the Mark II variant, lacking more sphisticated computers, is very difficult to fly; and only the most experienced pilots can easily handle them.
Raptors are the workhorse of the Colonial fleet. They are not very manueverable, but can carry a wide variety of weapons, have excellent jump capabilities, and can be fitted with a range of mission packages for intelligence, transport, and many other types of missions. In the game they will be the only fighter with missile or jump capabilities, however they can not move many spaces per turn.

The Raptors will carry missiles, maybe multiple types.
