The Ultimate Earth Ship Discussion Thread #SPOILERS#

[Qasim]

I agree, galixy conquering ships dont just grow on trees.

But money does

[immhotep]

yes take a look in S&T: earth ships; past present and future, there are some ideas in there that might provide some sort of answer...

[Bomber]

Hey, we've got shuttles. Who needs anything else?

[Jeffer]

Ha that’s what you think I have that tree in my back yard or is that an apple tree either way it’s not good

I don't see y we need one right now but I haven’t seen S9 sure they could use in SGA but the Wraith think we are dead at this point so

[jree]

Carriers, cruisers, destroyers, different fighter designs, and some bombers. Plus energy weapons please. Vorlon planet killers would be cool but won't happen.

[Avenger]

The BC-303s are awesome and they get the job done. We don;t need big ass, intimidating ships like Anubis' mother ship. Practicallity is far better, especially given our limited knowledge at this point in time.

[spg_1983]

When will earth put a full fledge battleship or carrier in service.
they need to stop pussie footing around with these battle crusier like the daedalus.We need to be a galatic power.

how is Daedulus not a full fledge battle ship? it is huge (by our standars at least) has great shields and a ton of weapons (so not energy weapons but they have tons of other weapons) and it carries a squadron of fighters as well. so how are they "pussyfooting" around?

I'm more curious about this "We need to be a galactic power." stuff.

The Governments of the world can't usually agree on what to have for lunch at official functions let alone what needs to be done with the inhabitants of P3X-966 who are constantly getting Mosquito bites and dying. I think we should worry about actually getting this world together and managed before we even consider rampaging about conquering plantes and Claiming them for the Glory of the Tau'Re.

It's like Lex Luthor trying to conquer the entire universe. When he can barely keep the group of miscreants around the boardroom table from destroying the furniture. National Power...then Global power...then Planetary power...then MAYBE spread out and become a quadrant power...and if we haven't killed each other off and self exploded by then...go for Galactic power.

[immhotep]

well we may not be a galatic power, but i doubt the galaxy would try to attack us.....which is a start.
As to ships, sure there are things we can do, and the designs on Gw for the nxt stage of earth sips are pretty good, but the deadalus is a good ship, sure it lack weapons that can blast through ships like a stone through water, but it will do fine for defending a planet.....lets face it, on earth if somebody comes we will rely on the outpost powered by mark 2 generators a heck of alot more than ships ( well i would anyway!) and for that a ship with great shields that can run away easily is perfect, plus while its taking hits for the team the asgard and jaffa will show up to help and SG1 will save the day.........

as to galatic power, i think we can handle a few more pplaces than we have now but the best idea is to put long term cell units ( teams of 5/6 ppl on a world to study long term), for example on for the jaffa, tokra, S./hebs, asgard would be perfect IMO.

We have a bunch of our own gliders but we should develop a couple mid range bombers or a cargo ship.

first it is designated BC-X303. BC=Battel cruiser. Second yeah a lot of weapons that can be shot down or intercepted.

What I meant is that the asgard are a power as are the jafa and nox. If we want to be more respected and relie less on others then we need to become a galatic power. So start cranking out those ships!!!!

[spg_1983]

actually its just BC-303, and technically should be BC-303A, there is no "X". and is there really that much of a difference between calling it a Battle Ship and a Battle Cruiser? no there isnt. its the same thing.

[NoDot]

Do we need more ships? YES
Do we need advanced technology? YES

Do we need to be a galactic power? Not yet.

[babaganoosh]

They are formidable craft, these...shuttles?

Anyway, I like to think that the Daedalus will be reproduced to form a fleet of Earth ships that'll go out and kick some serious mik'ta.
