The Caprican

Revised and Updated – July 2010

The Caprican is broadly inspired by the house used as Gaius Baltar’s residence in the television mini-series Battlestar Galactica (2003).

With a 55×30 metre footprint, the Caprican is best suited to land parcels of 4096 sq metres or greater, and offers single-storey accommodation, with front patio areas and steps leading to the rear aspect.

The Caprican is available in two versions: the Caprican and the Caprican Ultimate.

The Caprican

The Caprican

Features a 25×15 metre main living area and a 15×15 bedroom linked by a 15×12 metre kitchen area.

The main living area has double doors to the front aspect, opening off of a railed balcony. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views to the front, side and rear aspects.

The bedroom also has double doors to the front aspect, opening off of a railed balcony. Floor-to-ceiling windows provide views to the front, side and rear aspects, which an internal wall helps sub-divide the bedroom for a warmer feel.

Caprican Kitchen

The kitchen has double doors to the front and rear aspects. The front doors open off of a balcony with steps leading down to a stone paved patio area, enclosed on either side by the bedroom and living area. The rear doors from the kitchen area provide access to steps leading to ground level.

The kitchen itself is galley-style with units against the rear wall of the house, and a separate island with sink fronting them. This island also includes a breakfast bar. Two breakfast bar chairs (Transfer only) are included. The kitchen area is sufficiently large for additional furnishing to be included – or if the area is to be used for other purposes, the kitchen units can be safely removed post-rezzing.

Caprican Bedroom by Night

The Caprican includes a fireplace in both the living area and the bedroom. Both are removable post-rezzing, if required, or can be repositioned according to preferences. In addition, the Caprican includes the following features:

Lighting

The lounge and bedroom both feature stylish 2-prim wall lights, while the kitchen area has a single overhead light. If the kitchen area is to be used for other purposes, an additional 3 wall lights are included in the pack, which can be used in place of the ceiling light.

Window tinting and Indirect Lighting

The Caprican includes my window tinting / indirect lighting system. By day the windows feature “open” vertical blinds that provide a degree of privacy. At night, these automatically “close” to provide complete privacy. In addition hidden lighting effects provide an subtle external glow to the house, giving the impression that light from inside is filtering out from behind the blinds. Additionally, you can manually “open” or “close” the blinds at any time by touching any window and selecting the required state from the displayed menu.

The doors used on the Caprican are all NDE scripted and can be locked, or can be set to owner or Group-only use, or can have a list of authorised users added to them.

Caprican Ultimate

The Caprican Ultimate Front View

The Caprican ultimate is outwardly identical to the Caprican, and includes the same lighting, tinting, and door systems as the Caprican. However, the Ultimate additionally includes a number of features and optional extras that make it a complete home-in-a-box.

The living area, for example, includes a sunken lounge area centred on the fireplace. This includes a reversible rug, bookcases and cupboards and three built-in sofas, each featuring up to 3 quality animation loops supplied by Craig Altman’s team at Bits’n'Bobs.

The Lounge Area at Night

Two table-top occasional lamps are also supplied (part of the optional furnishing pack described below) to provide intimate lighting in the lounge area, as show in the picture here.

Steps from this area provide access to the front doors and to the rear section of the living area.

The bedroom of the Ultimate can be fitted with the supplied bedroom furnishings, comprising:

• A double bed complete with menu-driven MLP with 27 animations and menu-selectable bedspread textures
• A dressing table with a further animation from Bits’n'Bobs
• A (non-functional) matching closet

Caprican Ultimate Bedroom

This furniture is supplied in the optional pack, as described below, and as such is supplied NO COPY.

Optional Furnishings Pack

As well as the bedroom furniture described above, the optional furniture pack supplied with the Ultimate also includes:

• 2 x armchairs, suitable for the lounge  or bedroom
• 1 x round table
• 2 x wooden chairs suitable for the kitchen or the balconies / patio
• 1 x tall occasional lamp
• 2x occasional table lamps
• 4 x wall lights that can be using in the kitchen area in place of the overhead light (remove this after rezzing the house), or if you opt to remove the kitchen completely and use this section of the house for other purposes.

These furnishings can be placed as you wish, and the chairs are all supplied with quality 30-sec animation loops. All are supplied NO COPY / TRANSFER.

The Ultimate Includes an Optional Furniture Pack

With the range of included furnishings, the Caprican Ultimate offers an inspirational and complete home for you, ideally suited to parcels of 4096 sq m and above. And even with the optional extras, the house is big enough to accommodate your own favourite furniture as well.
