Original Starship Design Thread

[Buba uognarf]

Its good but way too large. A small ship, the size of the deadalus would be more suitable. If your intention is for it to the space borne equivalent of the cruise ship, the deadalus is much larger than any on the ocean today. Just make it reasonable. If its luxury, then its exclusive, and if its exclusive then you dont need lots of room for lots of people. If you can charge 100 people an extortionate amount, but only get those 100 people, then you have wasted 4900 spaces on board. Wheras if you make it designed to cater for 100 high class, rich and powerfull geust that expect to pay for what they get and you can deliver, you would probley make a much higher return on your investment.
Also where is this cruiser liner going. Because anywhere in this galaxy is a maximum of 5 days. Barely enough to savour the delights of such a craft, if its any good. Best idea would be to set up a Sister "hotel" somewhere in Pegasus, you get a long journey on the luxury ship and then Pay to explore a new galaxy in extreame pamper and comfort, probley on the most stunning totally unique planet in the universe.

If your going for luxury, make sure its luxury, luxury doesnt mean big, its means luxury.

good points, but the pegaus galaxy would only have been opened after the war with the Wraith and then with have the other wars after that...

i think it should be mainly galactic travel it may be luxury but how long would you want to spend on a ship

[immhotep]

Well then make it a trip to the IDA galaxy, a reborn paradise after the Replicator war. The asgard let in very few visitors so the worlds and galaxy are pristine. Only the best will do though.

History
This ship was completed in 2042 to take on up to 5 Hatak class vessels and come out victorious. All of the ship's systems were Earth built at Area 51 so Earth could be less dependant on the Asgard for technology in its war against the Lucian Alliance and Jaffa(who are really pissed at the Tau'ri for being safe and sound in their area of the galaxy). This ships first test in a combat situation was when the Jaffa attacked Cimmeria. The Sovereign was sent to Cimmeria promptly after learning of the takeover of Cimmeria. When it arrived, it saw 3 Hatak in orbit around the planet. After warning the Jaffa ships to leave the immediate area, it raised shields and prepared for the attack.The Jaffa ships fired and the Sovereign fired back. The Asskicker won the battle with minimal damage.

Warhammer
The Warhammer was designed by the Tau’ri as an anti-fighter craft, using advanced fight controls the craft could easily out manoeuvre any other small fighter and using its anti-fighter missiles and energy weapons it could easily match their fire power.
The craft is very small allowing many to be transported at a time, the craft works best while in a squadron of ten to fifteen allowing maximum fighter capacity.

The Warhammer is also equipped with clamps allowing the craft to connect to a ship for hyperspace travel, allowing a larger amount of crafts available.

Here are the images, they show half the ship with all weapons and sublight engines open, and the other half of the ship they are retracted. As described in my design.

DsSAS Class
The DsSAS was originally called the NRS or Naval Reconnaissance Ship, designed in joint operations with the Asgard as a reconnaissance ship, utilising the manoeuvrability and cloak to scout and relay information about the Ori back to earth and the Asgard. The NRS was very effective and helped in the war a lot; during its use seven of them were produced. However at the end of the Ori rein the NRS’s were put into storage, used as explorer ships or in the case of three dismantled for parts. Then fifteen years later a new threat raised its head and the NRS was brought back from retirement. It was refitted with upgraded weapons, a better shield and a new hyperdrive. It was given a new lick of paint and a new name the DsSAS (Deep space Stealth Assault Ship), its primary mission was again to retrieve information about the enemy, but also be used as a front line ship utilising its upgraded weapons and armour.
However as the fleet progressed it became obvious that the DsSAS could not match the new age of ships. This caused a new design to be created and a new age of ship to be born.

Spoiler:

The Katherine
The DsSAS-205 (Scimitar) was the first proper DsSAS ship created; it was designed by the NRS’s original designer Dr Joseph Walden (a civilian at the time), with the help of the Asgard scientists working with the Tau’ri. However during the final testing of the ship Dr Walden’s wife Katherine Walden died in a tragic car accident, leaving him with his only child David. In honour of his wife he named the ship Katherine with a plaque of remembrance engraved into the hull of the ship. The ship was given its own shield colour of white (also in memory of his late wife).

The Bride of the Katherine
The bridge is situated on deck 1; it is sunken into the hull to add extra protection against attack. The bridge contains a main view screen allowing view of the front and rear of the ship. A Captain’s chair with computer interfaces on either side to allow access of systems, a helm control allowing control of the ships movement and navigation, an Asgard holographic emitter was used to allow the helm to see all areas surrounding the ship along with still being able to see the main view screen. Also there is an operations control, allowing the control of systems of the ship. There is also an engineering control, allowing systems to be changed if required from the bridge. Finally the bridge contains two tactical posts, each utilising holographic emitters to allow each system to targeted, this allowed different systems to be used decreasing the time and increasing efficiency of weapons aboard the ship.

The Cloak
The cloak used on the DsSAS-402 “Katherine” is the most advanced cloak created by the joint forces of the Asgard and Tau’ri. It utilises the same type of cloak designed by the Ancients, but with enhanced features.
These features are that; specific areas of the cloaked vessel can be uncloaked or cloaked independently of the rest of the ship. The ship also does not produce any EM signature or Ion trail making the ship extremely hard to find.
Weapons can also be fired while the ship is in cloak without disrupting the cloaking matrix, an added bonus.

The Hyperdrive
The DsSAS class does not come equipped with a conventional hyperdrive; instead it is equipped with a smaller version designed specifically for this class of ship. It is capable of small jumps to get the ship out of trouble, but the classes’ primary mode of further than light travel is to clamp onto another larger ship and be pulled along.
The class is equipped with a new version of clamping system, utilising a type of Asgard beaming tech to hold the ship is place along with high powered magnets.

Ion/EM Mine
The mine was designed by the Asgard using Ancient technology to produce a weapon capable of disrupting a ships shield and to do hull damage as well. The mine with cause detonate and erupt an Ion surge across the shield disrupting the matrix allow a momentary lack of protection, followed by a vast surge of energy to rip at the hull caused by a Naquadria fusion reaction. The mines were very effective in the preliminary tests.

Here are the images, they show half the ship with all weapons and sublight engines open, and the other half of the ship they are retracted. As described in my design.

Look's like a lens flare to me. You get the same effect when you apply lens flare at 25 percent brightness/50-300mm zoom in photoshop.

Well only the Abrahms has been in actual combat.
On paper the Leopard II and Challenger II are better.
The Leopard II and the Challenger II are both good tanks. Only in battle will the best be determined.

The Challenger II scored the longest range tank to tank kill, ever.
