Original Starship Design Thread

Quinn, whats the difference with the Celestial Class and the Aurora class other than the zpm reactor?

knowles2, nice designs and congrats!

Teyilia, post a sketch

RJB, you should do what stargate does. For the black part of the hyperspace, have stars show through.

Design, crew, size, speed.

Quinn, what software are you using for the screenshots? I'm lousy when it vcomes to drawing something like that, but then I try

Well normally I do but I was in a bit of a rush and must have forgot to put my star map into the background channel but it's a small thing so I'll just let it be since it take a while to render that scene.

Here's some progress with my rail cannon project: (thanks Mike for the name )

I did some animating with the cannon too. Feel free to check it out:

[Buba uognarf]

Well I had some free time so I did a re-render of my hyperspace scene (since I re-textured the ship) and a simple scene of the USAF Excalibur hiding in a asteroid belt.
Enjoy.

Dude that ship is soooo good! It's good enough to be in the show!

Semmer cool gun

[immhotep]

There is some nice stuff coming from you guys. The Excaibre and the rail gun are both awesome, im really impressed with the both of you, green if i can will be on its way.

[RJB]

Thanks guys. Right now I'm working on a scene for my USAF Ares with two of them sitting in the corona of a star. It's about 75% ready, just have some playing around to make the sun look right.

ps. I looked at your video Semmer and the turret looks like a real solid design.
Keep up the good work.

I'm not very good at adrawing a starship on just plain paper, nor will my computer run any type of 3D modeling software that I can use, what kind of 3D software are you using Semmer?

[ManiacMike]

awesome vid. semmer

Its almost exactly how I pictured it firing.

Now you need to add energy blasts and camera shakes to it and you got yourself an excellent piece of work there.

[Semmer]

Thanks guys!

I'd suggest you start with SKetchup as I did. It's the best program for those who want to start 3D modelling.

That's the next thing on my list. I think that animation was a bit too slow, so I intend to increase firing fequency just a little bit.

Two Ares class ship wait for an enemy fleet to appear masked by the interference created by a stars corona. (this is my first time trying to make a star so I know its far from the best.)
