Seen many different version of this mashup, but this probably the best one so far imo.

I wonder if it wouldn't have been better to turn the hangar bays into nacelles.
Why not all of them? Would be fun to see a starfleet ship with 4 "smaller" and 2 enormous nacelles.
Srsly though? Would be kinda overkill. Those would be some over the top beefy ~700-800m long nacelles.
I'm going with no.
Winning.
Oh, now don't tell me you want in on all this! Well, ok. Look this that Egg Pawn hanging outside your window, pointing his laser rifle at you, waiting for my next order. He's doing his part. He helps conquer the weak-minded. He roboticizes the weak-bodied. Heck, he even helps keep the useless people from causing any trouble, but you know what? Join. Find the closest Nataran Empire roboticization center near you and join the ranks, before the ranks find you. Oh, I know, you figure it must be so satisfying to know I basically rule the world now, and you know what? It is, but do you want to know the true definition of satisfaction? Well, let me tell you a little story. One day, you see a brand new event. They're giving out boxes that give old event stuff. Your dilithium is plentiful. You buy a whole lot of Phoenix packs on your main, and open them all. You get one epic token. Then, you decide, that since you have all the Breen ships and don't give a damn about the others, you exchange it for an ultra rare, and grab yourself a Jem'Hadar Attack Ship and for the hell of it, a Voth Bulwark. You open both, leaving the Bulwark in your vast masses of starships as you jump into the bugship and deck it out, deck by deck, into the most awesome Jem'Hadar ship you can. You fly it. You enjoy it. Eventually, you get bored and leave, leaving the old Bulwark never flown... until later. Your main is long complete. Your new alt main, based off some character you pulled out of nothing just to explain away some starship being in service without the command of your dear admiral, is also complete. Mostly. Their reps and doffs are hard at work, getting you stuff. You realize the potential, and head back for your dear admiral, pull the most Voth themed build you can out of thin air, and suit up in your giant ship in the shape of you know what. You head out... and cause all sorts of havoc. Enemies scream out your name as their very life is drained away by your swarms of Aceton Assimilators. They complain to the devs of your OPness when you revive yourself from death every time you die. Do you show any form of mercy? No. After all, this isn't the United Federation of Planets, this is mother frakkin' Starfleet, where you explore strange new worlds and kick butt never kicked before. Oh, and you realize that I just wrote another speech rivaling your own signature. Cool. Oh, wait, that's just the original draft, it is part of my signature now. Oh, and yes, I am aware that I have become a Canadian Regent; one day, sooner than you'd expect, we'll suddenly decide to take over the world and declare an "alliance", and I shall become it's Regent. You know, like the Klingon-Cardassian Alliance in the mirror universe of our beloved Star Trek. Oh, who'll we be taking over with? I dunno, maybe [REDACTED], or maybe aliens from outer space. Guess you'll have to wait and find out, won't we? Until then, don't ask too many questions, or else my Breen allies on Titania might pick up on your -- [REDACTED BY BREEN CONFEDERACY FOR REASONS] Also, psst... keep an eye out for flying Tribbles! Also walls. Big, great walls, separating entire continents apart. Walls patrolled by Tribbles. Flying Tribbles. Flying Nukara Tribbles. Don't worry, it's not like they were on Venus with a herd of Tholians or anything, they just like the extreme heat and brutal weather like acid rain and hurricane force winds as the norm. Oh, and definitely keep your eye out on any two-tailed foxes, because if they ain't glowing, they're definitely an imposter. Possibly an Undine, we caught one of those once in my place once. Oh, and if you find a two-tailed fox that doesn't like the cold... most certainly ask him to say sorry. If he refuses, DESTROY HIM WITH A DOOMSDAY MACHINE, BECAUSE THERE'S NOTHING ELSE THAT WOULD BE ENOUGH AGAINST SUCH AN OVERPOWERED IMPOSTER!
tr;dr, I am winning last post wins 3.0. Thank you for your time.
Let us explore it... together. Each man hides a secret pain. It must be exposed and reckoned with. It must be dragged from the darkness and forced into the light. Share your pain. Share your pain with me... and gain strength from the sharing.
Oh, and the command center in BSG was called the CIC, or Combat Information Center, much like the command structure in a modern aircraft carrier.
The thing about ships is that it can be controlled from more than one spot. So when a ship goes to battle...the bridge is manned and so is Secondary Conn (think of it like a battle bridge) and Aft Steering. Any one of those spots can take command and run the ship if the bridge is taken out.
On the Aircraft Carrier I was stationed on we called it CDC....and in my time in the US Navy I was on three ships and all three had different names for it...CDC, Combat and Ops

the hanger bays are fine as they are, love the look of the design
-Lord Commander Solar Macharius
Makes me wonder what a mash-up of a starship and an Earth Alliance 'Omega'-class Destroyer from "Babylon 5" would look like - especially considering that starships have artificial gravity and an Omega-class Destroyer uses a rotating section to produce gravity...
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
I'll raise you on that. Victory class destroyer like the Excalibur.
normal text = me speaking as fellow formite
colored text = mod mode
Nah, Rattler, Victory-class would be too easy - ovaloid saucer split with a lance array in the middle, neck leading to engineering hull and pylons out to 'cannons', three nacelles next to the hull alternating with the pylons. That's part of why I want to see what an Omega-conversion would look like, the Earthforce and Starfleet design schools are so different...
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
as for the USS Galactica.... Ya shouldnt shame the USS Jupiter like that
^Words that every player should keep in mind, especially whenever there's a problem with the game...
Thematically I'd say some kind of tac carrier with an engi slanting, it is a battlestar after all.
boffs:
cmdr tac
lt.cmdr engi
lt.cmdr tac
lt. sci
ensign engi (uni on fleet version)
consoles (fleet level):
5 engi
4 tac
2 sci
Non fleet with 4/4/2.
As for the rest, not so sure. Shield mod of 1.0 for normal and 1.1 for fleet, hull somewhere in the realm of the command crusiers, turn rate & inertia somewhere near the ody's and the really hard thing would be the number of hangar bays & weapons.
2 bays & 4/3 or 1 bay & 4/4, though 2 bays would fit better I guess.
edit: goddammit, I just realized that I described a T6 jem dread.
USS Pegasus Early WIP
To be honest, I think it'd be a little better off with a higher ranking engineering boff and less tactical. For instance:
Boffs:
Lt. Cmdr Tactical
Lt. Tactical
Cmdr Engineering
Lt. Science
Lt. Universal
Just a personal preference, but considered the ship's size, it'd make sense to have a large engineering capacity.
As for the Battlestar Pegasus, please finish and share! I'd love to see it!
Also, has anyone considered fusing Cylon Ships with other Star Trek race's designs? 8472 Basestars, for instance?
Winning.

Lol I'm tempted considering I've seen her randomly floating around the internet a few times.
Nah, Nat, everyone knows that 8472/the Undine are really Vorlons - just compare Kosh's transport from "Babylon 5" to an Undine Nicor bioship...

Thoughts? lol
I probably wouldn't make the ship a fully fledged Spec ship, either.
So, here is my take...
Galactica Class Battle Carrier
Pegasus Class Carrier Dreadnought
Basestar Class Carrier
The Colonial Heritage Set consists of the Cyclonic Transwarp Engine, the Heavy Kinetic Cannon and the Defense Batteries Universal Consoles.
You gain a bonus to kinetic and radiation damage.
2 Minute Cooldown. Fire a nuclear missile at target. The missile inflicts heavy kinetic and radiation in a 5 km radius, and leaves behind a lingering radiation cloud that inflicts additional radiation damage for the next 15 seconds.
Hanger Pets
Vipers
Viper Shuttle Craft launch into groups of three, and you can maintain 6 shuttles per bay.
Viper Shuttle Craft Mark II (Advanced Viper Shuttle Craft):
Viper Shuttle Craft Mark VII (Elite Viper Shuttle Craft)
Raptors
Raptor Shuttle Craft launch into groups of two , and you can maintain up to 4 Raptors per bay.
Raptor ECM Shuttle Craft (Standard Raptor Recon Shuttle Craft):
Raptor Tactical Shuttle Craft (Advanced Raptor Recon Shuttle Craft):
Raptor Strategic Shuttle Craft (Elite Raptor Recon Shuttle Craft):
Maybe it would be a Vulcan ship? At least the ENT era Vulcans used those warp rings...
We used Coxxon's meshes and skins as a start point and went on from there. it was really fun to have the Bucket and Vipers in the Star Trek universe.
The only critique I have of the design is it looks too new. Galactica was a forty year old relic who had seen some hard campaigning and suffered from being neglected in the rush to modernize the Colonial Fleet. Option 3 or 4 of the Fed ship skins in STO would probably solve my critique nicely though.
