    you do realize that thats 14.76 feet of armor(9.8 feet of which is actually armor) for regular areas and 18.04 feet (11.48 feet of which is actually armor) around key areas. Right?!?!?

    That armor is waaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy too thick. most modern tanks use between 6-9 inches(15-22.5cm of armor. even with massive inertial dampeners that thing would be waayyyyy too massive.


    i do believe that the thickest armor ever posted on here that was accepted was 5 ft and 2.5 of that was air or vaccuum.

    if it is a stationary command base i can somewhat see the need for thicker armor. but with that much mass you would be lucky to reach even .1c. and if you did it would take a loooong time and prolly all of your fuel.

        Give or take a "y", and yes, mass equals inertia when you accelerate or maneuver. Also, how much trinium is used in the construction of this vessel as compared to titanium or steel? Trinium is not exactly as common place as iron.
        Titanium is the strongest metal on earth for a weight/strength ratio, but certain steel alloys have greater tensile and impact strength. Tungsten has the highest melting point of any metal on earth(Around 3648 C or 6600 F) and is extremely strong.(We do have materials with higher heat resistance.) Structural integrity fields, which are mentioned in Stargate, would be required so your own mass does not crush your ship at relative accelerations in the C range.

        ^This latest overview does sound more plausible then the previous ones btw in a quick skim but I need time to go through all the information.

          -150 antimissile tubes each with a magazine of 120 missiles
          How large are these tubes and missiles?

          -60 point defense laser clusters with seven emitter each*
          We have discussed point defense laser on the 4.0 fleets page. The advantage of lasers is the relative velocity of a laser beam.

          The problem with lasers is that being sophisticated high tech devices (Which tend to break more easily them simpler devices.)they are expensive to construct, are energy hogs if you want them to be really effective, and they tend to burn out quickly. Although I believe your set up would be quite effective against a barrage of missiles for a period of time, your laser turrets would need to be replaced often. This leads to both financial logistical issues.

          I do not see much effect on fighters made out of advanced heat resistant alloys or lightly shielded which could then come in very close to your ship for a bombing run.
          -14 turreted dual coil guns*
          Ahhhh, coil guns. Similar to rail guns. I approve. Hundreds of high velocity iron slugs could handle most fighters in the SG universe and virtually any missile.

          Honestly, our modern CIWS are far more efficient then any other PD technology seen in the cannon Stargate universe such as a Ha'tak or Destiny.

          Your vessel is Nq powered, partially, which means fission which means plasma. Use a mixture of RFPPC(Rapidfire plasma pulse cannon.) and coil guns.

            You have a buttload of very different weapons systems. I foresee a maintenance nightmare. You would need ether a bunch of specialist teams(Which are more expensive.) on board for each system or a large group of general engineers and workers. Possibly both.

            Different weapons systems require different forms of maintenance, different support systems, different forms of ammunition or energy, which needs storage space or power capacitors and converters. Now, this is all fine if you have the budget, but you need to ask yourself, do I really need all these different weapons? Everything needs a reason to br equipped on a vessel and the more complex you make something the higher the chance is that something will go wrong.

            You cannot be completely prepared for every single conceivable battle.

                Or why you need so many satellites? This ship is supposed to be a portable base right? Why does it need all of these? I see having a compliment of probes on board sure.

                And what is your idea for this orbital shield generator?

                  Were did the Tau'ri learn how to construct such power systems?(Bold)

                  Secondly, the energy emissions coming from your ship would light up every passive sensor in the area it was in.

                  Thirdly, why so many different mishmash's for your power grid? This leads to the same issues as your weapon systems. Everything requires a good reason for it to be on board a vessel. Also, the sheer cost of all these reactors would be mind boggling.

                  Fourthly, just because a generator is hooked up to a weapon does not mean unlimited discharges. Cooling your weapon is a factor. And wear on your power conduit. Fuel for the reactors.

                    A side note, what if the enemy captured this vessel? All that hybrid technology would be there to play around with.

                      Well it is a fanwank ship for sure but not nearly as bad as most though.

                      First off the ship is 750 meters long. The Prometheus is somwhere between 400 to 450 meters based on the windows. Tha Daedalus is perhaps equal or longer than that.

                      All that weaponry, fighters, equipment and other stuff will not fit inside the ship. 500 to 600 vehicles alone is alot.

                      Keep in mind that you still need from all those troops, and the crew to work and sleep. You need crew to maintain that fleet of fighters plus spare parts, tools and equipment.

                      Even a Nimitz class carrier can hold about half of her air complement inside the hanger and that is a huge hanger. I believe it's 100x300 feet per hanger and there are three of them!

                        I have a ship that is larger made to ferry troops act as a mobile base, etc. approx 7KM long .5 KM wide, and that's just the DVC, the DVSC is twice the length and width.

                        about those hangers, they're all connected

                          7 kilometer vessel? Is it Tauri? Goauld? Who? What timeframe?

                          I only ask because there is no way in hell Earth even with help could build a 7 kilometer vessel. The cost alone would prohibit such a ship.

                          On a Nimitz class carrier, 6,000 people are on that ship including the airwing. Almost everyone is triple bunked or at least double bunked. In a single berthing there are 250 people living in it. So it is possible to build a troop carrier of 5,000 to 6,000 troops plus crew on a ship the size of a Prometheus or a Daedalus. Providing that sufficient life support is installed, everyone is bunked, and the hallways are narrowed.

                          I mean if you looked at the Prometheus or the Daedalus their hallways are very wide whereas a typical Navy vessel you just barely have enough room for two people to walk side by side. Also crew complements on the 303 and 304 are way below Navy standards. Even a destroyer can carry as much as 500 crew.

                          Your 7km ship is perhaps 7,000 times larger volume wise than a Nimitz class carrier. Assuming of course your ship is shaped like a Nimitz class carrier

                            It is actually not Stargate related though one of that similar design was used briefly in a game I once ran here on gateworld. It is possible to make such a ship though, I know people who have much much larger ships, compared to those larger crafts, my little 7KM long {to as long as 14KM} are tiny

                              How is it possible to make such a ship? Odd choice of words.

                              What is the point of having such large ships anyway?
