[knowles2]

Well I did start on my Jaffa vessel yesterday night but my computer died, not died exactly but it will not stay on for long than a 1 second an have not figure out what wrong with it. An it dies not seem to be the usual faults.

Lucky for me my sister ask me to set up my niece netbook for christmas so I have the internet at least for a week or until it need to be wrap it up. But I am not going to even attempt to try an model on it an well I need to make it look it have not been used.

Hopefully I will figure out how to repair my pc soon, but if it needs replacement parts it will not be until late January sadly.

Or I could forget to buy Christmas presents an spend it all on my PC instead.

is it the power...loose connection?

[knowles2]

is it the power...loose connection?

That what I thought it was at first but all connections seem fine, but there is a lot off dust in there it hard to see plus poor lighting in my bedroom, so today I am going to slowly strip everything off the mother board an clean it all off and then put in one piece at a time an reconnect everything together.

If that does not work, I will then call in a mate of mine who has the equipment to test the power supply an motherboard connections an RAM that should narrow down where the fault is a occurring.

ground controll to major boberth are you recieving?...over

Committee Member V

Spoiler:

Dr. Lee

F.R.M.O.

Specs:
2
Not very creative or practical. No real innovation.

Base Use:
2

Real Life Stargate Tech:
2
Nothing out of the ordinary, but not very creative either.

Presentation:
2
Bland.

Originality:
2.5
Interesting concept, but not very original in terms of architecture.

Style:
2
Bland, suffers from odd proportions.

Other:
2
Does not present good application of practicalities or creative engineering. Missing railings, closed, windowless spaces ill suited for long term occupation. Use of vacuum grade engines baffling.

Total: 14


PH

Latodan Mining Facility

Specs:
1
Not present

Base Use:
3
Good concept, could use a bit of refinement.

SG Tech:
1
Barely mentioned

Presentation:
3
Despite lacing critical data, clean neat and organized, easy to read.

Originality:
3
Fascinating concept.

Style:
3
Sufficient differentiation of architectural style.

Other:
2.5
-Poor placement of civilian buildings, seemingly not enough to accommodate a whole city’s worth of people, dangerously close to refinery.
+Placed near body of water for refinery.

Total:
16.5


ALX

Sparta

Specs:
1
Not present

Base Use:
1.5
Vague, uninteresting.

SG Tech:
1
Barely mentioned

Presentation:
1
Very little effort.

Originality:
1.5
Not memorable.

Style:
2
+Fascinating macro proportions.
-Same old ancient look.

Other:
1
Nothing particularly interesting.

Total:
9


RJB

Lantian military research outpost.

Specs:
2.5
Well done, but lacking creative detail.

Base Use:
3
Good concept, practical placement.

SG Tech:
2.5
Used creatively with ship complement but not very creative otherwise.

Presentation:
3
Neat, easy to read.

Originality:
2.5
Interesting look, but not too different from standard L:antian style.

Style:
3
Despite going with the regular Lantian look, pulls it off well.

Other:
3
Interesting overall look, reminiscent of RTS video game bases, not improbable given Lantian technology.

Total:
19.5

The Winner

Spoiler:

Mathematics

Edit: Nice David Bowie reference

[Dr Lee]

Well.... that's Committee member V off my Xmas card list

Congrats Mathematics

[Alx]

mathematics? i made it ot to be RJB soo... congrats RJB!


EDIT: me as a runner up?

[thekillman]

right. *blank stare*

i've added four plasma bolt spawners on my ship. i gave it the name Ash'tak, or Assasin ship (in english).

a very versatile, sneaky ship. used for patrol. except it's never SEEN on patrol. the things just suddenly decloak and attack any agressor, without warning. their weapons are designed to quickly overwhelm shields, and disable ships, then allow capture. as a warship, it carries Scarab(c) weapons.

a scarab is essentially a "goauld" (jaffa) missile. except with much higher maneuverability and speed, and equipped with inertialess drives.


my Ash'tak is essentially a 22nd century jaffa ship. i say 22nd, because at the end of the 21th they will probably have reverse engineered enough goauld technology to make it work.

ash'tak are mass produced, relatively cheap (damn expensive, but hey, the resulting ship is cheap comparable to Ha'tak and such), powerful, fast, stealthy and multi purpose. they also carry a dozen or two jaffa fighters (maybe i'll design some of these too), but perhaps also just ordinary Al'kesh or tel'tak

[Pharaoh Hamenthotep]

Congrats Mathematics and RJB!

[Alx]

sounds good KM how about an image aswell?

member 5 was rather harsh...congrats RJB and ALX.
