Original Starship Design Thread

[WTFOwned]

I've thought of it, but I haven't really looked into it. Did you have something specific in mind?

Click my sig.

[cooky]

Looks cool. I'll look into it later this week. Tomorrow though, I finally get to bring my computer into the 64bit era ('bout freakin time).

[An-Alteran]

I have no clue as to their present military philosophy since I have never spoken with anyone from their military.

They have concentrated on all of those things at one point or another.

Well they would need to design something new since this is a space ship and not an naval ship.

I don't know at present, but I'm assuming that if somthing exists and it is a solid design they will probably copy it as closely as possible.

Again I don't know, I haven't kept up with their military hardware structures.


I'll start looking into German naval vessel construction, eventually.

Here is an overview:
Traditionally German's have focused on a strong defence and offense.
Disregarding most other concerns.
Their style is ussually of inovation.
Strength, quality.
German Cars are better than ours.
Their tanks are better.
So a ship made by them should be stronger, tougher, have inovation, be better constructed cost more, be slower to build, and probably les manueverable.

I am still being affected by that coffee last night.

PS:
I am doing most of my history and English homework for the week tonight...
I have math and sciense also.
Sigh.

Their tanks are better.

No they arent. Their tanks pwnd ours in WWII, but these days things are different. Our abrams tanks are protected by god knows how many inches of depleted uranium armor and in addition to that, it fires depleted uranium shells. It has a pretty good speed when you consider it weighs 65 tons.

[knowles2]

Abrams tanks have got good armour, but that nothing compare to the British challenger two armour which is said to at lease 10 to 20 percent stronger, although the exact strength is still classifie, hell even how they manufacture it is, but it is said to be the strongest in world, superior to anything else available today. Where the Abrams main advantage is in its targeting systems, it got one fastest and easies to use in the world. But are you sure it uses depleted uranium for armour, I know it uses uranium shells the weapons, not sure about armour.

[rosstaylor]

They've Stoped Using Depleted Uranium If 1993, After Desert Storm, There's Loads Of Radioactive Areas In Iraq Now With Kids Getting Cancer.tehn There Was The Soldiers That Used It,

[Daryl Froggy]

What part of "depleted" don't you understand? They wouldn't be shooting them out of guns if they were radio-active.

Doesn't the Abrams have reactive armor?

An-Alteran I'm not sure how any of what you are saying affects my design. I mean really it is going to have some of the largest coil guns ever made which in turn can fire their projectiles even faster than the ship travels, which is very fast, on top of that it has over a hundred missiles plus many smaller caliber coil guns for point defense duty. If anything my ship design is fine, who cares if it superficially resembles something America built.

I don't care so much either way. I think it will be great.
I was just hyped on caffien and thought of a way to inspire you... hopefully.

And the Abrahms does not have reactive armour. It has a composite armour.
Reactive armour explodes to destroy the simpacting shell.
The abrahms armour is just plain tough.

And yes indeed they still use depleted Uranium. And no they are most certainly not radioactive.

Speaking of which, what kinds of rounds do you all think railguns fire in Stargate?

[knowles2]

I would of thought trinium encase shell, with some sought of naquada, calcium explosive core, just a guest mine, it could just be trinium shell.

And about depleted uranium, yes it still radioactive, everything on earth is to some degree, but depleted uranium have been link to a rise in cancer levels in some of the conflict zones they have been use in the pass, 15 or so years, although nothing have been proven.

I Abrams can be equip with reactive armour , but really when the challenger two and Abrams can take several hits with rpgs with out reactive armour and still function it not really worth the expense, when we fight a enemy which can knot them out with a single shot then we will probably add it for extra protection.

Really? So the 12 oz. Steak I ate tonight is radioactive? Everything gives off electromagnetic radiation. The visible spectrum of light is part of the electromagnetic spectrum of light. That doesn't mean it is radioactive. I think that is what you were talking about,.... the EMS of light? The radioactive you're thinking of is alpha, beta, and gamma particle decay.

I'd like to see the statistics from that study if there even was one done.

Photon radiation, graviton radiation.
Both apply to all matter.

Neither can harm individuals right?

[An-Alteran]

Is graviton radiation real?
I thought that was a hypothesis?

[freyr's mother]

I was reading something about it on wiki and it says that the theoretical particle would have no mass, would have 2 spins (whatever the hell that means) and exerts a negligible force of gravity. This is way over my head, but I only skim read it, and that is what I pulled out.

That is a add-on for the Tank Urban Survival Kit(TUSK). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:O...-09-165522.jpg
