Here you go, my 305 redesign.
Type: M-305 Modular Transport
Dimensions:
Hight: 9 meters
Length: 48.4 meters
Width: 26.2 meters
Crew: Mission dependent. (Unequipped 305 has a max capacity of 6)
Equipment/Armaments:
Main Power: Scaled down version of 304 class main generator.
Sec. Power: Dual Naquada generators.
Sub Light: Two primary Class 1 sub light engines. Two secondary Class 1's equipped with thrust vectoring for VTOL assist.
FTL: Class 2 hyper drive. (intergalactic capable with sufficient power)
Shields: None without combat pod.
Armaments: Dorsal mounted twin 50mm rail gun turret, 6000 round loaded capacity. Additional 4000 rounds available.
1 Ring Platform.
Cargo Pod:
2270 cubic meters of cargo space
1200 metric tonnes lifting capacity in Earth standard gravity
Additional life support for 18 people.
Single Naquada generator.
Combat Pod:
Class 4 shield generator. (Largely ineffective against capital ship class weaponry)
Scaled 304 class main generator. (Virtually identical to M-305 standard generator)
250mm rail gun turret, 12,000 round capacity.
780 cubic meter missile/bomb bay, 620 metric tonnes capacity.
Medical/Search & Rescue Pod (Still under development)
2 Surgery bays.
8 beds for long term/minor care
Additional Life support for up to 16 people.
Dual Naquada generators
Asgard Transporters
Back Story:
Following the successful defense of Galar from an Ori attack, Earth, Galar and the Free Jaffa began making preparations to go on the offensive for the first time in the war. Earth, with only four active ships, needed a cheap, easy to build vessel that could fill a support role, much like Gua'uld Tel'taks and Al'kesh. Some argued that it would be easier to acquire a number of Gua'uld vessels than build our own, but in the end, it was decided that an Earth-designed and built ship would be better suited to the combined-arms style of warfare that the United States had developed over the last 70 years.
Three different designs were submitted for final consideration in the 305 program. Two tried to incorporate the cargo and combat functions into a single vessel. Though both designs had merits, especially the ability to travel to Atlantis on their own, they were also far more expensive, more complex and ultimately less versatile than the third design. For these reasons the third, and smallest ship was chosen and put into prototyping.
Designed as little more than a flying crew compartment with limited anti-fighter defenses, the design's greatest asset (besides its relative simplicity) was the ability to carry a removable module, or pod that could be configured for any mission parameters imaginable. It's greatest weakness was the under-powered main generator, which, though based on the same technology as a 304 main generator, couldn't supply enough power for intergalactic flight. The hyper drive itself was capable of those speeds however, and the addition of auxiliary generators could allow for intergalactic travel.
Two different pods were designs and produced along with the X-305 prototype. One was a cargo pod, designed primarily to transport 4 Abrams Tanks, along with enough room and life support left over for the crew to live in for up to two days. The cargo pod was equipped with only a single naquada generator, not enough to get the ship to Pegasus, to it was designed with an external mount on top of the pod were an external generator (yet to be designed) could be installed when needed.
The Combat pod, designed and built in conjunction with the X-305 and cargo pod included a 12,000 round, 250 mm rail gun turret, remote operated form inside the 305 crew compartment. It included a modified version of the 305's main generator, enough for intergalactic flight (Earth to Atlantis in 26 days) and to power a limited shield generator, useful in fighter engagements. It also included a massive bomb bay, with a capacity greater than any strategic bomber in Earth's history.
A Medical/Search and Rescue pod, that includes Asgard transporters is in development, and a mixed use, electronic warfare/command and control/recon pod, that includes an Al'kesh cloaking device is under consideration.
The prototype finished testing in record time, and in early 2008, the Air Force ordered four additional 305 ships and several of each pod. The first combat mission of a 305 came in February of 2008, when a combat equipped 305 provided air support for a major ground offensive during the liberation of Dor'Nak, a heavily populated Jaffa world that had fallen to the Ori in the first days of the Ori invasion. Veterans of the Second Golf war likened the 305 to the AC-130 gunship, saying the 250 mm gun proved a devastating weapon against entrenched Ori positions on the ground.
