Hi guys.
I thought this would be a interesting thread, hopefully there's not been any others similar to it.
If you had control of a big huge asgard computer, and got to design and then have created a new class of warship for earth, what weapons/ systems would you put on it, or what sort of design would you aim for?
Me personally, my ideal warship would be of similar (if slighly larger) design to the battlestar Pegasus (i m a BSG fan as well
) but a lot more technologically kitted out - it would be the "Victory" class battle-carrier (B-C 301) - a cross between a carrier with lots of support fighters/ bombers and a heavily armed battleship.
Instead of bow (forward) big huge projectile guns, i d aim to get 2 of the Ori beam weapons equipped - or fail in that a version of the ancient satellite weapon - but if i had room, i d keep projectile weapons similar to which Pegasus had as well as the Ori beam weapons.
I d have a projectile flak system similar to which Pegasus/ Galactica had, along with the big huge anti-ship mass drivers - this means in the future if ever you come across some race who's ships hulls can absorb energy fire, your ship would hopefully have some form of effective offensive capability in the form of projectile weaponry - on top of a kick ass anti-fighter system as well.
In addittion to the projectile flak screen, i d aim to have some sort of high fire rate energy weapon system - similar to perhaps what Wraith Hives use. This system could be used in combination with the flak system to take out enemy fighters/ bombers etc... - or used as a auxilary system against enemy capital class warships, or as a orbital bombardment system.
For anti-ship systems, i d have asgard plasma beam systems equipped in strategic places across the ships hull, with the projectile mass drivers along with the energy weapons system (similar to hives) as support for addittional firepower. In the centre of the ship - based in the very heart of the ship, i d have 2 ancient drone weapon platforms - with the "exits" for the drones on each side of the ship, giving it the capability to launch a swarm of drones from pretty much any angle.
Armour wise, i d have something similar to what the crusader class warships had in babylon 5 - something able to absorb ideally somewhere around about 70% (preferably more) of energy weapons firepower upon impact - combined with a self regenerative ability such as what the Wraith - or perhaps cylons (BSG) have. The armour/ hull wouldn't be "paper thin" like earths X304 ships have, but would be far thicker, something along the lines as the amount of what the battlestars (BSG) have This means if the shields go, then the ship's still going to be far from beaten!
Shields - i d have probably something in the same league as Atlantis's shields, fail in that at least as capable as the Ori Motherships shields. Hyperdrives would also be as fast as possible for a ship of this size.
Fighter wise (since the ship would be a battle-carrier class designed to operate as the heart of a X304/ carrier task force) i d have something as manoeuvrable, durable and capable as vipers (BSG) - ideally with a airwing of about 100 to 200 of them. There would be at least 2 dozen (dozen = 12) puddle jumpers for use as a recon or bomber class. I d also aim for between half a dozen and a dozen warships similar in nature to the "white stars" seen in babylon 5 - using the Victory class battle-carrier as the mothership.
Finally.... as a safety net, i d ensure the ship would come equipped with a time dilation field which can be accelerated or slowed down. In the event the ship suffers critical damage, the field would be activated - enabling it to undergo hull and system regeneration, recharge shields etc.... - potentially enabling it to switch off the time dilation field after "months" of extensive repairs, yet still be in the middle of the battle due to time travelling far faster inside the field than outside, meaning it would come out of the field as good as new - however given the potential effects upon the crew's life expectancy if used repeatedly, it would be for emergencies only.
Overall specs therefore:
Anti Ship:
- 2 bow (forward) Ori style Beam weapons
- Strategically placed Asgard Plasma Beam weapons across the entire hull
- High rate of fire energy weapons system similar to that of Wraith Hives.
- 2 Ancient Drone weapons platforms - 1 on each side of the ship
- Mass Driver projectile Batteries along both sides of the ship.
Anti Fighter/ Bomber:
- Projectile anti-fighter/bomber flak system similar to that of the Battlestars (BSG)
- High rate of fire energy weapon system (Wraith Hive)
- 2 Ancient Drone weapons platforms
Support Systems
- Self Regenerative energy absorbing armour - far thicker than standard X304 armour.
- Atlantis Class Shields
- Atlantis class hyperdrive - or something faster
- Time Dilation Device - for emergency use only should the ship sustain critical damage.
Support Vessels
- Air wing of 100 to 200 "Viper" class "F303's"
- 24+ puddle jumpers for recon/ bomber use
- 6 to 12 "whitestar" class "E301's" (escort 301 or something... lol - since stargate likes it's ship/ fighter numbers for the classes to be in the 300's)
I d love to see how a bunch of Ori Motherships or a couple of Super-Hives would do against the Victory Class B-C 301 (Battle-Carrier 301), or even if Earth had a civil war how a fleet of X302's would do
What would everyone's ideal next class of warship be for Earth in the stargate universe using the ancient/ asgard databases to provide the techs?
