Original Starship Design Thread

[immhotep]

F_A..that kinda looks like what i had expected for the Paradox lol, its kinda half ancient/human.
Extrenix do you have any specs for that model? or are you throwing it open for interpretation? If you are then ill use it and make up some decents specs for you If you have you own then i look forward to seeing them, if your designs are hal as godo as your models then we are going to be getting a great new addition to this community.

PS to saave us all the scrolling horizontall could you please put all you pictures in to spoiler tags like the rest of us do? it would really help

[Sam fisher]

Ok here is the initial paradox design

Very nice, where did you get that texture?

[An-Alteran]

heres a WiP of an 1km+ ship. I dunno what it will be yet. Ill spec it when im done.

Spoiler:

It looks Ancienty.

Here is the Paradox, without the texture skin

It needs retexturing, i really cant see the asgard and ancients designing a half purple and half beige supership..

LOL i know, i was going for the abstract look. Nah my comp froze on rendering.

Challenge: design a starship from a race that's at most the strength of an Asgard Beliskner class cruiser. You can make it as strong or weak as you want as long as it doesn't go over the limit in strength.

we don't know how strong one is though?!?

This is a ship i developed from the dauntless battleship i did a while ago. I'm thinking of putting it in the V2 fleet thread. Is it overpowered/ fanwank etc,if not what class should it be battleship/dreadnought/flagship


Designation – Heavy Hyperspace capable Battlecruiser
Class name – Dauntless
Technology bass – Terran/ Asgard
Date of the First of the class commissioned – 2037
Built time – 5 years

Length – 950m
Beam (Main Hull) – 190m
Beam (weapon outriggers/ engine pods) – 450m
Height (MMP attachment) - 63m
Height (main hull) – 105m
Height (Islands) – 175m
Height (weapons pod) - 40m

Minimum Crew – 163
Maximum Crew – 1000
Standard Crew complement – 550
Embarked Special Forces – normally 140-300 marines assigned to a ship on 4 week rotations for away missions, boarding and counter- boarding and security
Decks – 34 (2.5 m tall)

Power-plants – 1 mark 6 naquida reactor
2 mark 2 for back up (one in nose, one in tail between thrusters)
Propulsion – 4 main heavy thrusters on the rear of the hull (2 port, 2 starboard of tail), 8 smaller manoeuvring thrusters on rear side of weapon outriggers
180 emergency mass reactive thrusters, 30 on the nose, 60 dorsal , 60 ventral mid, 30 at the end of the tail

Defences – Terran built shields with 4(+2) shield generators
Between 450cm and 250cm of titanium/carbon/naquida bonded armour
20mm sheets of Kevlar splash damage armour throughout ship
Interior titanium bracing and honeycombing, hydraulic bracing rams

Small ships - 2 hanger bays in the front of the weapon pods for 24 fighters and 8 dropships in each

Weapons-

6(8) double particle accelerator cannon turrets
36 triple 14 inch Heavy railgun batteries –with 8,000 rounds per turret
240 Longbow missile cells – with 3 reloads per tube
36 dual 125mm Medium Railgun Batteries – with 15,000 rounds per mounting
50 quad 35mm Light railgun batteries – with 25,000 rounds per mounting
25 quad cells for sabre missiles on each surface of each weapon pod (100 in total)( 12 reloads per cell)


Modular mission pod.
The MMP is essentially a miniature star ship within a starship. It has its own life support, crew accommodation, armoury, and command centre (used as a back up to the main bridge if it is knocked out).The pod has its own thrusters. A single destroyer sized ion motor at the rear of the pod and 14 gas jets can be engaged to provide the pod with a certain degree of mobility when not attached to a ship. This is used to deploy the pod in an orbital defence mode or manoeuvring a pod to dock with a parent ship. They also have 2 cargo holds, a single mark 2 Naquida generator and a pair of shield generators which act as part of the ships shield network when attached or to shield the pod in an orbital defence mode. It is also connected to the ships own power and control grid. This pod is attached to the underside of the ship below A battery. The Pod fits in between the nose and start of the weapon outriggers. It is attached to the ship by 4 grappling arms and 20 magnetic locks that can be turned on or off for a quick change of pods. A pod can be replaced with a brace of Aquila dropships configured as tugs in less than 20 minutes.

There are 3 types of MMP in use:
Weapons pod
2 X 2 barrelled particle accelerators (staggered) with ammo for 250 firings.
240 longbow missile tubes with 3 reloads each.
Flight pod
Hanger bay for up to 60 fighters and 7 Aquila transports ready to fly
Bomb farms for a total of 5,000 cubic meters of ammo storage.
4 Machine shops for long term maintance or repair of fighters. 1 fighter per shop.
Has its own Air control centre and pilot accommodation
2 runways, each 120 m long and 30m wide with hanger doors at either end.
Ground assault pod
Barracks for 700 marines (standard, max 1200 for 3 days)
Vehicle deck for up to 150 vehicles (depends on type)
Flight deck for 20 ATS landing craft, 31 Aquila transports and 10 fighters.


Each MMP has the same dimensions and self defence weapons:
Length - 250m
Height – 50m
Beam – 190m (270 for carrier pod / assault pod)
12 X 35mm quad railguns with 20,000 per mounting


Key for weapons
Particle accelerator – This weapon is the logical step up from the railgun. Along with Asgard scientists, the brain-boxes at area 51 developed the ultra high velocity particle cannon. This weapon uses magnetic fields to contain an unstable mixture of gases and uses an electric field to propel the particles to almost half the speed of light (relative to the speed of the ship. In order to achieve these velocities the scientists looked toward an existing idea. The idea of using laser beams to accelerate the particle even more was not new. However it had never been tried or tested. This method created an afterburning effect to the particles. The first particle cannon in use were built onto the destroyer Antarctica in 2029 and were over 200m in length. It took 10 minutes to charge but was accurate to 4 light seconds and could knock down a Hatak’s shield in 5 shots and cut a wraith hive ship in two with a full volley os 12 shots. This version of the weapon was designed into further Antarctica class destroyers. In 2033 the Asgard were asked to help refining the weapon. The feat they and the human scientists achieved was huge. They cut the weapons length from 200m to 20m and its recharge time from 10 mins to 30 seconds. This new weapon was destined to replace the 21inch+ rail/coilguns and second generation energy weapons on all TSC cruisers and battleships. The weapon was ordered to replace the leviathan class energy weapons on the D class. They also proved themselves a potent weapon against both the Wraith and rouge Hatak’s. Now there effectiveness must be proven against the Aschen!

History
The Honorius class battlecruiser was created to take eliminate dependancy on Asgard technology, for 12 years Asgard technology was aboard the Odyssey was studied so as to create their own reactors, beaming technology, etc... The space frame was a mix between the 303 and 304 class design. They also asked the Asgard to help them create their own energy weapons. 12 years later, 2056, the 1st Honorius class vessel came into service. It was sent to on an intergalactic shakedown trip to the Andromeda galaxy to see if the hyperive was working correctly and to work out the kinks of the ships new systems. It arrived at the Andromeda Galaxy in 10 days. In it's 1st battle against an unknown ship, It exceeded its expectations easily. In it's 2nd mission, it went to search and destroy a Lucian Alliance fleet that was attacking the Alpha Site. It got there and started firing upon the 10 Hataks. It destroyed the Hataks with minimal damage. 6 months later, the Augustus came off the production line and into service. At the battle of S4R-168, The Honorius managed to take out several Goa'uld motherships that were attacking the Alpha Site. Each Hatak was destroyed quickly. The Honorius has since then been serving the fleet as a powerful vessel not to be trifled with.

Very nice ship.

I have several suggestions if you enter it into the Gate World Fleet:
No fighters or transports on the standard ship, only in the MMPs
MMP is not standard, and only a few units have them.
Designation:
MMPBBC-(whatever number you want, like BC-303)
So MBBC-#

MMBBC would be: Multi-Mission Command Battleship-(Class hull number)

Thats about it.

Otherwise it would fall under like: Battle Assault Carrier of Doom, or something.

[Col. Shadow Quinn]

You have any of the designs right now?
