Original Starship Design Thread

Awesome, i like the way it spins, it looks different to they way a normal gate spins.

Also, your USAF tempest fly-by looks good as well.

Cerberus-class starship destroyer

~Type: Large hyperspace capable warship

~Length: 1080 meters

~Beam: 240 meters

~Draft: 210 meters

~Decks: 12

~Displacement: 2,84 milion tons (normal Earth gravity)

~Construction: 6-8 meter reenforced high density Polycrystalline armoured hull.

~Crew: 343 (maximum capacity 500)

~Powerplant: Five naquada reactors, enhanced battery storage system(posibility of two ZPMs).

~Propulsion: Two hyperspace window generators.
Three ion-based sublight drives.
Anti-gravity wave generators.

~Weapons: 24 Vertical ELS (Electromagnetic Launch System) missile tubes.
120 x Mk. VIII naquada enhanced tactical ship-to-ship missiles.
72 x S-401(russian built based on the S-300/SA-20 SAM) tactical defencive missiles.
8 x Heavy 15 inch(381mm) Ion Particle Puls Cannons, 30 rounds/min each.
12 x four-barrel 35mm gatling rail guns, 3,000 rounds/min each.
2 x multi-function underside bays, capable of carrying any weapon in US or NATO inventory, including ICBMs.

~Defenses: Asgard shields
6-8 meter reenforced high density Polycrystalline armoured hull capable of deflecting/refracting 40% of all energy directed at the ships hull.

~Other technology: Asgard transporter/sensor technology
Rings

~Technical Notes

High density Polycrystalline armor provides superior protection against energy based weapons at only half the weight of convetional armour.

A polycrystal is a material that is made of many smaller crystallites with varying orientation. The variation in direction can be random or directed, due to growth and processing conditions.

Crammed mainly with weapons, sensors, engines, and supplies, the Cerberus(or SDX-311) had slightly more internal space than a russian Typhoon-class submarine for her crew. Still, the vessel's accomadations are excellent, owing to the small crew compliment needed to run her. With engines and reactors taken directly from the BC-303 program, the Cerberus is, capable of keeping pace with an Al'kesh at sublight speeds, and faster than any Gou'ald ship in hyperspace.

Her considerable missile armament allows her to fire a barrage of 24 missiles in one salvo, giving her a great "knock-out" punch capability against even Gou'ald supermotherships. With her Heavy Ion Particle Puls Cannons the Cerberus is more than capable of engaging large enemy forces on her own(hence her designation "starship destroyer"). Rail gun armament, though impressive, is geared primarily towards neutralizing and suppressing incoming enemy ordinance (such as missiles, drones etc.) and/or enemy fighters.
It's S-401 active/semiactive radar guided tactical defencive missiles are equiped with anti-missile warheads , that fire "300 heavy DU metal sub-projectiles" in the incoming misiles/figthers path thus destroyng it.

Given her size and purpose, the Cerberus does not carry fighter support of any kind, though she can refuel and re-supply a few F-302s or F-404s in an emergency. She prefers engaging enemy starships and overwhelming them with its devastateing firepower. Her lower bays are reserved for small support craft (such as a Tel'tac), additional weapons, or soldiers. She can deliver a sizeable force of troops into combat, by ringing/transporting them down enmass, or by support craft.

If anywone wishes to sketch a ship based onthese specs are encouraged to do so, i do wish to see how people would imagine it.

[Nitzhean rage]

that's one law of cobre and 4 laws of starfury. u swiched the first one.

they are perrfect

[Crazy Tom]

Awesome, i like the way it spins, it looks different to they way a normal gate spins.

i thibk that's because the outer part of the gate is spining nstead of the inner ne.

RJB, is it ok if i use ur gate in a fanfic?

[Crazy Tom]

they are perrfect

ye, not much u can mess with on a starfury.

[Nitzhean rage]

Here's my newest WIP, a heavy ancient warship with a lot of aurora in it

Spoiler:

Comments and suggestions are welcome

Enjoy

that is perrfect

Sure go ahead.

[Extrenix]

[RJB]

The new version is looking great so far.

[Nitzhean rage]

does lightwave come free as a download? might help me out with my Haz'teek class ship(which looks like a Hive Ship smashed into a Ori ship[middile half])

this showld be god <mod snip....folks 'illegal download' rules apply to pirated software as well.>

[titan_hq]

Wow! im loving it.

This is a well thought out ship, my only critisim is the designation...'destroyer', its certanly not a destroyer at that length and with that armament, more of a battleship or dreadnought.

And i might just have a go of modelling it.

what program o you guys use?

I use sketchup, but im hoping to get hold of lightwave.

Well would you term a Star Destroyer a Destroyer by modern terms? Maybe that is what Nitzhean rage was going for, after all he called it a Starship Destroyer, not just a Destroyer.

But who really cares about semantics, here is a rough spec sheet of the middle Irishen prototype.

Spoiler:

Class: Interstellar Heavy Warship

Role: Fleet engagements and fire support for ground troops.

Length: 600m

Width: 137.41m

Height: 80m

Mass: unknown.

Crew: 250-750.

Hull: 1-2 meter thick high density naquadah byproduct armor with 1 decimeter of heat/energy diffusion ceramic armor.

The High Density Naquadah Byproduct used in this ships armor enables it to survive poundings that would make lesser ship’s armor flash instantly to vapor.

Sensors and electronics:
Little is known about these ship’s sensors but they are powerful enough to locate potentially habitable planets and starships from several hundred light-years away.

Shields: Powerful shields developed from those commonly found on Ha’taks.

Cloak: None

Propulsion:

6x Drive engines, it is unknown what kind of propulsion is in use on these ships.

1 Hyperspace flash drive, appears to be derived from the Goa’ulds hyperspace engines.

Power Source:
2 (unknown type) power generators with at least 25 smaller generators scattered all throughout the ship.

Armaments:

6x beam weapons similar to the AG-3 satellite weapons(4 forward facing and 2 rearward facing with a limited forward arc), 5x 7" Magnetic Acceleration Cannons, 7x medium plasma weapons

Other Features:

It is capable of carrying up to two mid-size Patrol/Exploration craft on exterior docking structures as well as several shuttle-craft in a small interior docking-bay.

It has several sets of transport rings set strategically around the ship to allow for faster movement about the ship and for getting down to the surface of an allied planet, shut down to avoid unwanted company when not in use.

It is capable of transporting 500 ground troops fairly comfortably and can cram up to 900, though not very comfortably, when required.

It is fully capable of surviving thousands meters underwater or deep into the Photo-sphere of a sun for many hours without any ill effects either to the ship or its crew.

Any comments or critiques that you would like to share please blurt them out.

Oops, i read it as: 'its a Cerberus-class starship, which is a type of destroyer' not 'its a Cerberus-class, starship-destroyer'. Ok, well in that case, its a good ship.

[thekillman]

ok ive downloaded sketchup, and ive made a model wich looks awesome. but how can i show them?

[Daryl Froggy]

Well take a screenshot of the ship in sketchup then trim it down in some graphics program, like microsoft paint, save it and then upload it to an online image holder like photobucket or imageshack.
