Gateworld Virtual Fleet 2.0

[fallen_arbiter]

Ok here is the fianl draft of the Whirlwind. It is now finsihed and ready for the fleet.

Name: Whirlwind

Type: Two seated Strike Fighter

Technology base: Tau’ri/Asgard

Operators: Two human operators

Naval Classification: Fs-108

Hull: A single 10cm inch hull made of an ablative Naquada/Trinium/Titanium alloy

Decks: Single cockpit, with raised section at back.

Dimensions:
>> Beam: 15m
>> Length: 10m

Crew: Single pilot and a single gunner

Power plant: A single Mark III Naquada Generator

Engines:
>> Two Improved Asgard Ion Sublight Engines, utilising a Naquadria injection system.
>> Anti-Gravity engines

Armament/Weapons:.
>> One 25mm rail-gun, mounted on nose of fighter controlled by pilot
>> Two repeating energy weapons, mounted on wings of ship (rotational), controlled by gunner
>> A payload of modified AIM-240 AMRAAM missiles, controlled by gunner.
>> Capable of carrying a small number of Naquada enhanced bombs

Defences:
>> Ablative Armour

Other Technology:
>> Improved computer interface, using holographic imaging etc
>> Inertial Dampeners
>> Magnetic clamps
>> Small cloaking device (designed by Asgard)

Technical and Historical Notes:
The Fs-108 is the first of a new age of fighter, designed for speed and agility utilising a cloaking device for surprise tactics.
The Fs-108 was designed during the fight with the Ori to help eliminate the threat posed by the Ori fighters. It was designed with a new faster Ion engine, initiating a faster speed and tighter handling. It was enhanced by injecting Naquadria into the generators which along with the Naquada Reactors caused an unstable amount of energy, which when properly contained using inertial dampeners creates a much faster propulsion.
The fighter could easily out manoeuvre any fighter previously produced, allowing a much better potential. When the cloak is initiated the ship can easily fly undetected, and if the cloak should fail, the Fs-108 can easily out manoeuvre any point defence weapons.

As a strike fighter a squadron would activate a cloak and flank enemy fighter from behind, firing once in position causing a chaotic situation for the enemy.

There is only one flaw with the Fs-108 which is the firing mechanism affecting the Cloak matrix. When firing the weapons apart from the rockets, the cloak tends to fail due to fluctuations in the matrix. This was overcome by creating an automated cloaking system, which activates the cloak almost instantly after a lapse in fighter fire, allowing the fighter to disappear once the enemy has been destroyed.

i feel so bad, i dont know wheather to be happy ive won so many or asshamed, this is the reason that im not putting myself in for any other class. am i good at designing ships or are other people not submitting?i hate thistype of situation, do i feel good about myself that im good or do i say nothing in case i offend others..>_>

we still have the bulk of the fleet to do, and most people seem to find it easier to design larger ships.

[immhotep]

Very nice F_A, thats the kind of design im looking for, so far thats the one im voting for..

Btw if anyone doesnt want to submit ships but can do other things, like models, or is any good in photoshop then i would like to talk still. I know Zake wants to be involved with the fleet both model and storyline wise. What i would really love is some kind of sig or Banner to go along with the thread, either one, FA i love yours, i would like one that does the same split link thing but i dont have the skills..maybe someone would be able to help out

[Buba uognarf]

Ok here is the fianl draft of the Whirlwind. It is now finsihed and ready for the fleet.

great ship ,well done

and immhotep your ships won because they're good, you're just lucky you never had to go up against me lol just joking...but if you want more designs why don't you post a formal request in the OSDT? might help though i'm sure they've already seen this thread they may be waiting for an invitation...

and in a little while (my next post i will post the specs of the Wandering wolf and a little history) and after that the Swarm history...

[immhotep]

invitation sent..and thanks for the compliment your right im lucky i might just have to submit something for the flagship, but i hope i dont win that class cos i felt bad having my ship flagship last time..

Imm if you want a sig or banner, find me some images and PM me the links for them, and describe the kind of look you want and i will happily halp out.

Thanks for all the comments about the fighter.

[hotshotalpha1]

Right fighters. This will be my 2 second to last post hopefully. I did my best at designing a radically new fighter concept.



Designation – Deep space unmanned combat vehicle (Ds-UCAV)

Length – 10m
Wingspan – 6m (3 when folded)
Height – 2m

Propulsion – 1 single Pratt-Whitney ion engine, 6 gas thrusters in nose
Crew – N/A, 1 smart computer

Armour – 10mm titanium

Weapons – 1 30mm railgun, up to 4 amramm sized missiles/ 4 500lb bombs in bomb bay

Other tech – inertial dampeners, laser designator, Foxtrot radar, Flir

History
The Ds-UCAV came about due to a re-think in the TSC’s defence policy in 2020. Although the Wraith Wars put the project on hold for over 15 years, in 2038 the first prototype was flown. Designers called upon over 50 years of Unmanned Airborne vehicle design experience to form the Ds-UCAV. Using the same engines, inertial dampeners and weapons from existing fighters and marrying it with a very high speed computer core formed a very powerful fighter. The computer was designed from existing projects and back-wards building an Ancient smart artificial intelligence.
The Ds-UCAV could fit through Stargates and didn’t need a pilot. Therefore a carrier could carry almost 3 times the Number of Ds-UCAVs than it could fighters, due to its small size and folding wing.
Standard operating procedure requires a single operator to be in control of a single squadron (12 fighters). This operator can be aboard a modified dropship or 2 seat fighter or most likely onboard the mother carrier in a control suite. The Ds-UCAVs are used to break up enemy fighter formations before the bigger and more heavily armed manned ships go into combat. The Ds-UCAV also has a scramble time a third of standard fighter’s . Thus these drones are normally used for the fleets alert fighters and for emergency CAPs . The craft can also fit through stargates and therefore is used by surface bases to reinforce ground operations. The craft are extensively used it the Pegusus galaxy.

[immhotep]

Not bad..I would say that that i the second best gate fighter ive seen, the R-63 by cooky was always amazing, i will see if i can find that and nominate it. but i like yours alot

[hotshotalpha1]

thanks . but i have to say the R-63 and the pictures were pretty awesome. Oh and i think your missing one class from the class list The military Re-Plen ship, I.E. the Fort class.
No offense ment lol

[immhotep]

We'll see...
Im going to nominate the R-63 for the fleet btw:

theres the design, the history might meet adapting somewhat..

[Dogs_Body]

Name: Hurricane-II

Type: Two seated Fighter

Technology base: Tau’ri

Operators: Two human operators (pilot & navigator)

Classification: F-82

Hull: Single hull made of an alloy mesh of carbon 60/ trinium, titanium. Using nano-technology to produce carbon-60 nano-tubes which are woven into the trinium-titanium alloy. Thereby increasing the hull strength and making the armor less likely to suffer catastrophic failure.

Hull is coated with nano-solar panel, which supply only a limited amount of energy, used only for emergencies, to keep life-support going. This coating also allow a limited amount of energy weapon fire to be absorbed, it is not much but every little helps. This coating also absorbs much radar and other senor, thereby adding to the fighter stealth. (link to what i mean: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...arplastic.html)

Active camouflage: An earth based technology, one step shy of a full cloak. Due to the energy drain of full cloaks, active camouflage was chosen instead, couple with other stealth technologies aboard, it is nearly as effective as a full cloak.

The panels on the hull of the fighter, are manufactured in such a way that at the microscopic level the panel is not level, which causes active senor “beams” (i.e. like radar) to be scattered (like the skin of the f-117 but on a microscopic scale)



Dimensions:
Beam: 11m
Length: 18m

Power :
Mark III Naquada Generator
Emergency battery power.

Engines:
Electro static propulsion based of Thomas Townsend Brown’s electrically charged flying disks. This engine doesn’t use fuel like conventional thruster, thereby freeing up space used by fuel storage, and reduces the overall weight of the fighter, which can be used for weapons payload. This engine system is used for acceleration and cruising
Ion Engines, used for maneuvering based of Hebridan Ion drives. But are completely built from earth based materials and technology

Weapons:.
-35mm coil-gun, mounted on nose of fighter controlled by pilot, the kinetic energy of the bullets from this cannon can match that of the death glider cannon as its mussel velocity is increased
-25mm coil-gun mounted on a swivel arm on the undercarriage of the fighter, able to target enemies and the full 360’ (bit like the cannon on the apache)

-8 missile mounts, which can carter form various air to air missiles of varying yields (can be nuclear tipped)

Defenses:
ECM
Microware emitters to interfere in other fighter craft systems, and missiles systems

Other Technology:
-Inertial Dampeners
-Magnetic clamps
-Subspace communication array


Other:
Cockpit based ejection system- the whole of the cockpit section can be ejected from the rest of the craft, with self-contained life support.

Notes:
Named after the historic plane that helped win the battle of Britain in WW2. It is capable of vertical take off and landing. This fighter is design to be built with earth based technologies and material barring the trinium. Which reduces earth’s reliance on other races.

[hotshotalpha1]

Nice. i like the carbon nano-tube bits.
for the rear gun it'd proable be best if it was mounted on the tail. if it was mounted on the undercarrige it couldn't cover the top half of the ship. If it was the tail it could cover the top and bottom.

very true, maybe put one on top and one on the bottom, thereby covering all angles. (But i didn't want it to over burdened it with ammo)

[hotshotalpha1]

you could do what the russians do with their chainguns. You could put maybe a 400round ammo pod on the same mounting as the cannon, thereby elimaniting any severe ammo handeling problems. Could reduce the calibre to 20mm to get more ammo, if you go for 2 guns.

ok guys and Gals this is the Swarm!

Spoiler:

Swarm

No one knows where they came from or even their real name they are mystery as old as time itself all that is known of their history is that several millania ago they came and conquered the Red Devil galaxy, wiping out nearly all life and defeating one of the most advanced races ever to inhabit the stars...

That was many thousands of years ago but what of the present...

The Red Devil galaxy has approximately 30 times the volume of the MW and is the largest recorded galaxy by any of our advanced allies thought devoid of life and with only remours of a powerful and hostile race almost nothing is known. In reality the entire galaxy of hundreds of billions of stars is controlled by the swarm and has been since long before the ancients ever rose up amongst the stars.

The swarm are incredably hostile and pursue and threat to their surpremacy with ruthless and relentless vigor and by far their greatest asset it their numbers. With a fleet numbering in the millions fighting them is like trying to fight every insect on the planet earth. Most of their ships are small attack craft lightly armed with fewer cruisers and battleships for support - death by a thousand pins.

The Galaxy is so big it would take a standard Tau'ri ship over a month to traverse, the galaxy is broken up into 16 sections each one controlled by a seperate swarm fleet but each part of the whole they pursue their opponents without end as the Wandering Wolf discovered...

In 2039 the first outside ship in 300 years entered the Red Devil galaxy and brought down the wrath of the swarm on the entire MW. Suffering a hyperspace overload the Wandering Wolf was sent billions of light years to the far edge of the Red devil galaxy. They soon encountered the swarm who pursued the Wandering Wolf relentlessly for months without end, forced to fight a running battle almost without end the Wandering Wolf barely made it out in one piece somehow even with their superior hyperdrive technology the swarm were somehow able to match their every move...

After facing the Wandering Wolf the Swarm learned of a new advanced galaxy one which threatened their own and for the first time in many thousands of years the swarm departed their homes a set out accross the void destination the MW...


Technology:

Hyperspace Corridors - These corridors enable almost instantaneus travel accross the the galaxy, by configuring their Hyperspace generators the swarm ships are able to effortlessly move their fleets accross the galaxy in virtually no time at all...

Gravity well generator - These devices are deployed in a thousands of star systems. When a ship passes one in hyperspace it disrupts the hyperspace field pulling them from hyperspace and normally into the arms of a waiting swarm fleet. These litter the outskirts of the galaxy making escape and entry almost impossible.

Particle beam - The Swarm weapons. These fire a beam of barely coherent white energy of varrying yields. The weapons come in different sizes but all have certain properties which interfere with the shield matrix of ships they hit. This means that shields drain far faster than normal though the Asgard designed Tau'ri shields of the wandering wolf are able to resist this affect some what though not completely.

what do you guys and gals think then???

[immhotep]

hmm i like the fact that they predate the ancients, i didnt want another enemy of the ancients, im getting bored of that. They look like they could be an interesting fight, especially if we have to fight against such overwhealming numbers.
What about ground troops, you say they have millions of gunship/frigate type ships, but what about ground troops, what do they look like, humanoid, totally alien? inorganic?

pretty cool. not to sure about the hyperspace corridors, I think I would stick to regular hyperspace.

Also its a good start to a mini series of the wandering wolf, whole I love that name.

Looking forward to seeing a modal of the ship. I choose a different name for the hyperssapce disruptors I was never fan of the name gravity well, I never liked the name. Hyperspace disruptor is a better name I think and would stop people from getting confuse.
Also a slight a adjustment to the time line the wondering wolf would get back to the Milky before the Aschen and grace aliens wars, begin this way they can supply the pirates with technology which give them advantage against earth and other races ships and save their organisation, even if the captain did not give them technology one of his over ambitious crew could supply them with the technology. Then perhaps have swarm arrive in 2050 - 2060 as new power for us to fight.

But their you are we should leave this discussion until after fleets and are design.

But like where the story is going, a races older than ancients could be interesting.

thats a good question, erm i was think kind of humanoid shaped e.g. head, 2 arms and legs etc...but i picture them with a kind of metalic exoskelaton which looks kind of insecty kind of like this...



anything else you want to know?

[knowles2]

I want to no where you got that picture from. I do not recognize it.

[Buba uognarf]

I want to no where you got that picture from. I do not recognize it.

just saw it on the internet somewhere a few days ago, i was looking for weird aliens to base them off i think that one is from star trek...
