Leviathan Class Battle Dreadnought
Even though the Deadalus class has proven a major success, the dramatic increase of enemies has forced Earth into the need to develop a somewhat more potent ship. The new design is to be deployed by itself and so must be able to handle itself like a real ship of the line. The Leviathan class battle dreadnought is to be used much like the Asgard used to use their Beliskener class motherships-to exert Earth’s power on a trouble spot and handle multiple enemies with ease. (The design I had in mind is something like the human battle cruisers from Star Craft)
Production run: Lead ship Leviathan-operational
Andromeda-operational
Balance of Judgement-operational
Ascendant Justice-under construction
Resolution of Hector- under construction
Foe Hammer -under construction
In Amber Clad -under construction
Minimum 3 more ships planned-names to be added
Specs:
Type: Rapid Response FTL warship
Power: Asgard reactor
Tau’ri Mark II Naquadah generators
Engines: Tau’ri reverse engineered ion engines
Asgard hyperdrive(improved)
Anti-gravity wave generators
Defensive Capabilities: Asgard shields
Point defence missile system
Point defence rail gun network
Disrupter Wave generators
12 F-302 Space fighters
Offensive capabilities: Forward offensive rail gun(x10 the size of a Deadalus Main Rail gun)
x20 missile launch tubes(10 missile each)
-used to launch Mark VIII Naquadah enhanced nuclear missiles
Hellfire II orbit to surface missile system
x 10 Naquadriah enhanced nuclear missiles available
x50 Sharpshooter II “Shield Busters” available(prototype)
Other technologies: Asgard long range sensors
Standard Asgard transporters
Asgard transporter wave technology
Communications Dampening equipment
Note: The Sharpshooter II “Shield Busters” are non-nuclear missiles which utilise a technology derived from ancient drones which allows them to penetrate shields.

Those are some of my old designs. Will update with more ships soon.
btw some of the designes u guys have done are awesome-I especially love the Abydos-it's doable, needed and very well thought out. Joshua definately gets green for this-P.S. The drawings were exellent.
I loved the f302B as well. Section31 also gets green.

Believe it or not there is another thread on this topic, there are a whole eleven pages of ship designs. I dug up the thread to try to find my old post but got lazy so here: http://forum.gateworld.net/showthrea...th%27s+Defense
Best Stargate quote:
Sheppard: (yells to McKay) Canadian football is a joke! Celine Dion is overrated! Zelenka is smarter than you are!
Green is your friend.

^__^ Thank you, all. I thought that the Abydos might be, well... Too dull, as compared to the bigger ships. But, ship-design is about more than just size, engines, and weapons.
Originally, I envisioned the Abydos as a space-faring version of the DD(X)-class destroyer, as shown here:
DD(X)
DD(X) From Above
DD(X) At Night
As you can see, it's sharp, angular design is geared towards stealth and simplicity of construction. It rides low in the water and is built with a variety of radar, heat, and sound negating materials, further enhancing it's low-observability. Since this is a new ship design, and several test hulls have been built by the Navy, it seemed the most likely candidate for the foundation for a space-faring starship built by the USN.
The "pilothouse" (the superstructure) on the Abydos' final design is supposed to be almost an exact replica of the pilothouse on the DD(X). Rather than having a helicopter hangar at the back of the pilothouse, however, I felt that making multi-purpose bays on the underside of the ship would make the ship relatively cheaper, since you would be able to use the same two bays for everything, from weapons drops to shuttle deployment.
Upon further reflection, incorporating the DD(X)'s Peripheral Vertial Launch System (PVLS) into the Abydos would also save money on R&D. This new system keeps missile launchers in the outer sections of the hull, and spaced apart so as to prevent a catastrophic explosion if the ship is hit in it's missile bays. If the missiles are not all grouped together in one place, the ship has a better chance to survive a direct hit.
PVLS Diagram
The Navy has already developed practical rail gun technology-Nowhere as advanced as Stargate's rail guns, but rail guns nevertheless, which the DD(X) is intended to employ. Ergo, again, the DD(X)'s basic technologies are better suited to being transferred to space-borne use. Obviously, converting a water-based ship into a starship is costly, expensive, and well, stupid. But the basic design and technology can be utilized without having to come up with an entirely-new vessel.
It would be cool if someone could convert this idea into a 3D model, once the final design is established, as I do not have access to 3D art software. But, that's up to you guys. I would be happy just if someone used my idea for a ship in a fanfiction or RPG (with permission of course).
Anyway, I'll be posting my revised design and technology of the Abydos in this thread for a while. If anyone would like to make suggestions or submit an idea to be included in the ship's final design, you are free to do so. ^__^ We could make this something of a forum project, if you guys wanted to.

Because of the on going threats of the Ori, The Wraith, and Baal, Earth has designed a new class to be use as a mothership. It is dubbed MS-301 Posieden.
Two years since the construction of the Deadalus and Oddessy BCs, Earth constructed this ship. It is based of the studies of Ha'taks given to use by the Free Jaffa Nation, captured Hive Ships, and Ancient designs found on the Atlantian Repository of Knowlegde.
MS-301 Posieden Class:
Size:
Length: 2.5km
Width: 1.25km
Hieght: .5km
Decks: about 50
Weight: 2500 tons
Crew: 250
Capacity: 5000
Power
3 ZPMs
Asgard Reactor
Propulsion
Twin Ancient Hyperdrive Window Drive
Asguard Hyperdrive Window Drive (backup)
Ion-Based Sublight Drive
Anti-Gravity Wave Generator
Defensive
EM Wave Anti Ship/Missile Shield (all Earth and friendy-ship equiped with shielding)
Ancient Shielding
Steel Reinforced Double Trinium Hull
Offensive Weapons
2500 Ancient Drones
Ion Energy Beams
Ha'Tak Energy Beam
10 GateBuster
100 Frontal Rail Gun Turrets
200 Rear Rail Gun Turrets
1500 Side Rail Gun Turrets
50 Naquada Nuke Missiles
50 Hellfire 2 Orbit to Surface Missiles
Hanger
2 Deadalus Class BCs
10 F-302 Squadrons
25 Puddle Jumpers
Other Technology
Asgard Beaming Technology
Ancient Deep Space Radar
Ancient Sub-Space Radio

It is a mothership and all nations on Earth plus the Asgard help in construction. Only a few would be built.http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/9...sigcopy9ie.jpg
