Modeling Challenge Thread

[boberth2o]

Well I sent the rubric out to all on the committee but I haven't received anything back from them. So if this continues I'll have to do the judging myself, and I don’t want to do that because I don't want lobbyists.

The Second Challenge

Ahhh, The Second Challenge, I've been thinking for sometime for something to do are the second one. After thinking about it before I went to sleep one night (I lost sleep), I decided that there needed to be a Civilian Ship in the fleet(s). So here is the challenge.

You need to create a company that manufactures civilian space craft, weather it’s meant for commercial, industrial, or residential uses. There needs to be a history of the company and the full specs for their ship. You can only use technology that is a real life practicality today and materials that are present on earth or that they use in the show today. There are no set requirements for the size or displacement of the ship, but let it be known that the ship that has the best history, specs, use, and look will probably have the best score. Cheers and Happy Modeling!

Edit: OH! The due date for this will be in one month for tomorrow, in other words November 25th 2008 Midnight EST

I believe that the prize for this will be a Platinum Gate. The Golden Gate as well as the Platinum will be in the style of a Sig for the winner.

This is a multi purpose civilian shuttle with what im calling the Pod. This can be adapted for many different uses or swaped for other types of Pod ranging from Transport, Cargo (the current one), other ships etc. The Exoskeleton of the ship is fairly basic with beaming tech, inertial dampners, power source, and three types of engines ( two Asgard hyperdrive nodes, three Sublight chemical boosters and an array of Ion Turbofan boosters for takeoff and Landing)
There are also light shields and heat dampening reentry shields.

Thats the Basic concept.

[immhotep]

Name: Long Range Cargo Shuttle
Material: Trinium/Titanium/ Carbon alloy
Size: 120mL, 50mW, 40mH
Technology Base: Asgard, Tauri, Goauld
Type: Civilian Cargo Shuttle

Power source:
1x Mark III Naquadah Reactor
Engines:
2x Hyperdrive Node (Earth to Atlantis 16 days)
3x Chemical thrusters (.65C max)
10x Micro Ion Truster
1x Med Ion Thruster
1x Deceleration drive
Shields:
1x Asgard shield generator
1x Reentry heat shield
1x Cargo enclosure fields
Weapons:
2x 50mm Rail gun (optional)

Additional Technology:
Asgard Beaming and Sensor technology
Docking clamps
Advanced inertial dampening systems
Full range of communication services

History:
The Pod carrier is manufactured by the Terran Transport Union, which was a coalition between number of different companies which were pursuing the development of Civilian intersteller vessels post revelation of the stargate program and its technology.
This was one of thier earliest and most successful products. It is a very useful ship. In the early days of exploration by civilians it was used to transport personal good from Earth without the use of a stargate, when entire fleets would collect cargo containers from earth and shuttle them to colonies. The same pods would then be used to export goods back to Earth or to other colonies.
The ships are fully scalable, and can suit almost any application. There are at least 6 official models ranging from the most basic type above to huge frieghter cruisers able to move containers as big as the deadalus. The Ship can do this by the huge of inertial dampeners, which reduce the mass of the pods carried, allowing huge quantities of goods to be moved by just a single ship. The Large models are able to carry teired numbers of multiple pods.
The TTU has used these to effectively replace the Goauld cargo ships for the majority of trade in the galaxy. These now form the base of galactic trading systems, the TTU opperate staging posts and trade depots around the galaxy, allowing networks of the LRCS to ferry things quickly between the posts. This has become a massive organisation and one of the backbones of the galaxy.

Spoiler:

Name: Cargo Pod
Material: Trinium and Glass
Size:40mL,8mW 18mH,
Technology Base: Tauri
Type: Cargo container

Power source: Single Mark I Naquadah reactor
Engines: None
Shields: Reentry deflectors
Weapons: None

Additional Technology:
Asgard beaming technology
Internal Security systems
Variable on Model and Use

History:
The Cargo pods are a highly adaptable and customisable piece of this design, they can be used for cargo transport, the most common form of the pod, but there are personal transport versions which contain travel facilitie such as seating, food, life support systems. Some can be very advanced and impressive inside.

Really Good, I want you to know you are now exempt from what you just PM'd me for

[immhotep]

Yeah i thought so

[boberth2o]

So killman whats up on your ship?

[thekillman]

buisy on it.

been buisy on an ancient ship aswell. just gave it perfect engines

[knowles2]

And interesting challenge, I will have to think about this for while, do not really want to do a cargo ship. May be I do a luxury cruise liner or may be some sought of long range passenger ship. The first one would kind of original to stargate/

I will differently gonna have to get my thinking cap. Their also a possibility of some sought unharm alkesh type vessel.

Deferential have potental for something original here.

Just couple or quick questions

You can only use technology that is a real life practicality today

To me this means that we cannot use any of the advance technologies like hyper drives and shields or inertial dampeners, as they are not even practical at the moment in the real world or do mean the stargate reality. Just that sound like you want real life inspired designs using nuclear, solar powered ships.

Im thinking about doing a space-tracktor corporation. I'll mumble around it soon

[knowles2]

practical in stargate reality, sorry I didn't specify that

Cool, I sought of guest that but just wanted to be certain. I might of been slightly more fun and harder with out stargate tech.

Here is something interesting about stargate universe:

http://www.scifi.com/scifiwire/index...ory=2&id=61531

Not for this thread, but I am not liking those at all, to human in design with a dash of traveler look in their to, just does not match past ancient tech we have scene from this error, including the room we sure in AOT. just not right. I will discuss further in a more relevant thread.

I do not want this one to get of track.
