    The cars would also slow down the Ranger and make her an easier target. On the other hand, she could tow heavy weapons modules-Like bringing in automated missile batteries for use against multiple targets.

    oh yeah... about the other thing. The target thing. Yeah, that is true, but you could fit each car with its own shield generators and automated defenses. They might be targets, but they wouldn't have to be toothless targets. It would add to the overall firepower of your ship in transit, and the cargo would be 'self-protecting' during parking modes. Your ship would simply need to transmit the proper IFF transponder codes to keep itself from becoming a target.
    Avoiding getting shot at is never easy, but you're right that more cargo is a good thing. Well, the current design of ship certainly allows for it to tow cargo modules. If you wish, you can design cargo and weapons modules for the Ranger to tow?

      One thing you could do would be to add sub-light engines to each of the cars, so that their collective mass wouldn't slow the ship down. It might hinder maneuverability, but I'm not sure there's anything you can do about that. On the other hand, your not flying an F-302, so maneuverability isn't such a huge issue.

      As to me coming up with something... I could try my hand. I wouldn't expect it to be of the same quality as your stuff, but we'll see.

        Meh, my stuff's not all that great. I only have MS Paint, after all.

          This is just a quickie of the Cargo module.

            Well, just a rudimentary concept here:



            SS, you're sure you're not pulling your punches here?

              btw i see many people giving hellfire missiles to their ships. Now did I pick a name taht already exists or is everyone using my missile design? I wouldn't mind, but if it is my missile people are using then they should use it corectly lol. The Hellfire missile I designed and posted here is an Orbit to Surface missile, to be fired from capital ships and into enemy defence positions. It's actually designed as a cluster missile with one breaking up into 4 smaller ones(so less launch tubes are needed). By firing say 5 Hellfires, you end up firing 20 actual missiles, hence the name Hellfire(to stupid Ori followers it would seem like Hellfire at least).

              What's done is done, but I'd prefer if people didn't use things I came up with before asking.

                they r actually a real air to surface missle. that was the one i was using in my design.

                i see alot of disgusion in to the transport carriers at the moment and it makes me think im suprised that one hasnt already been made in the show because construction off world would ge so much faster with just one. i meen it mst take ages to get all the building materials to the sgc, actualy throught the sgc and then through the gate. with a ship to carry all the materials buildings could be pre built befor beign tronsported to the other planets.

                  I'm not sure having your cargo dragging after the Ion Drives is such a good idea, unless ALL particles go 100% straight, which they can NEVER do, those cargo pods are gonna get some massive damage from high velocity particles hitting them I'd suggest a Eureka Maru(See Andromeda) style cargo-carrying setup, with the cargo pod on top of the ship

                  About hellfire: It's THE helicoper anti-tank missile used by the US on their Apaches They are very effective in doing their job.

                    Good point, aAnubiSs. How's this look?

                      Hi. I am new here. I have been playing with a cargo ship design also. I call it the C-401. It was influenced by the Skycrane helicopter. Obviously, the engines are also Asgard inspired.

                      The idea is that the ship flies in, drops it pod, and then leaves. Anyway, here are some pics.

                        Nations: United States Navy, United States Air Force, Royal Navy/Air Force, Russian Space Service, Canadian Air Force, China PR space Service

                        Dimensions:
                        ~Length: 10m
                        ~Width: 12m
                        ~Height: 3m
                        Crew: 2- Pilot, Navigator
                        Powerplant: Mk. I Naquadah Generator
                        Engines:
                        ~Two ion-based thrusters-
                        ~One short range hyperspace window generator Mk II
                        ~Mk II Inertial Dampners
                        Weapons:-Multiple Weapon configurations depending upon the mission

                        **Standard~Two Mk. II 5mm Railguns/ 1000 rounds each
                        ~Four Retractable Side Launching SRM

                        *Fighter
                        ~One 12 round retractable SRM Pod/ Standard or Naquadah Enhanced Missiles
                        ~Four Modified AMRAAM/ Medium Range Air to Air Missiles

                        *Bomber
                        ~Four Titan Class/ Experimental shaped charge Naquadah enhanced Missiles
                        ~Two Mk. IX Gatebuster/Anti-Ori Nuclear Missiles-/ Magnetic Cuplings allow the bombs to attach to Ori ships after the fighter performs shield bypass.

                        Defenses:
                        ~Inert Naquadah Plating-around vital areas| Engines, Cockpit and Inertial Dampners
                        ~Reactive Armor-placed along fuselage


                        After the failure to stop the Ori's second beachhead and the destruction of several Free Jaffa Nation and Tauri capital ships by the Ori's Directed Energy Beams it was sermised that a small, fast fighter class that could stay out of the main weapons firing arc would be able to bypass the Ori vessels shields with hyperspace jumps deploy Mk IX Tacticals and escape.

                        A new variant on the F-302 was needed to fill this task, the airframe is basically the same but hull expansion and additional internal space was needed. The Aerospike and Booster Rocket were removed for internal space and replace with modified Hebridian Ion Engines that allow for VTOL and atmospheric flight The tactic for fighting is hit and run. The space that was used for the Rocket Booster and its fuel was replaced with a retractable weapons pod for anti-
                        fighter application(requested by DSC-Daedalus' Wing commander) firing 12 modified Sidewinder SRM or Drop bay for 2 Mk IX Gatebusters with Powerful Electro-Magnetic Couplings(Requested after the Destuction of the Alliance Taskforces, and the ambush of DSC-Daedalus by then allied Wraith). The Raven also carries the Experimental Titan Anti-Ship Missile, the missiles reverse-cone shaped warhead is made of neutronium/Trinium alloy to resist the intense shock of the micro second impact and explosion, although expensive and difficult to produce the Titan delivers up to 85% of the nuclear explosion into a 1.5 meter impact point devastating Goauld shields...

                            Those are very cool! But I don't think earth doesn't have enough resources to keep making cargo pods if they have to abandon a planet due to a powerful enemy. Unless you had a better idea than that.
