Original Starship Design Thread

[Daryl Froggy]

i always entertained the idea f a mobile SGC, it might not be practical but it'll lok way cool

hows my jumper doing Daryl?

I'm still working on your jumper and its going alright but I'm having a small amount of trouble figuring out what to do with the weapons pods, visually, to make them appear to work well.


One of the several practical bonuses of having a mobile SGC is that you can change your gate address when ever necessary which will cut down on the number of unauthorized incoming travelers.

they don't have to look cool Daryl, they just have to work.

Here is a new gun design I based on several other people's, in this thread, designs. It is a Coil-gun design which is meant to accelerate a projectile to relativistic velocities. Only in a vacuum however as such velocities in an atmosphere might harm not only the target but a great deal else.

It can fire rounds that are roughly 373.5mm in diameter.

Spoiler:

So what do you guys think?

Very very nice.

I like the barrel, but the base needs a little work. The base right now seems like what the railgun base looks like. Maybe, fix it to match the barrel, with the ridges on a circle.

Those ridges are supposed to be indicative of the sequential magnets in the coil-gun so having similar ridges on the base wouldn't make a whole lot of sense.

However I agree the base does need a little help.

it's too short, a relativistic we[pon would have to be much longer.

Ok my second post and first ship, I thought I'd start off small.

Name Archimedes Class

Type Short range gate travel capable starship

Tehnology Tauri designed with a computer core with 2 backups. Tel'tak shields and a finally working version of Felgers plasma weapon.

Hull Steel, reinforced with Trinium in certain areas.

Dimensions Urm..slightly smaller than a stargate (ill get proper dimensions later.)

Class Scientific ship sometimes used as a backup for groundtroops.

Power Liquid naquadah power cell

Propulsion Standard Tau'ri sublight engines

Arment Felgers plasma weaponry, 10 naquadah tipped missiles.

Other asgard transporter, advanced planetery scanners.

History After attempts to backward engineer puddle jumpers proved unseccesfull the US government put a group of engineers and scientists to the task of making an earth version of the puddle jumper. After several years and hundreds of unseccesfull prototypes the first fully operational Archimedes Ship was finally ready for the final stages of testing.
During the first live action flight it encounted 3 lucian alliance alkeshes, the energy weapon peformed above all expectations destroying two of the ships and the other one was destroyed with missiles. It also gained valuable information on a planet with a high concentration of naquadah and trinium.
The Government then ordered 5 more to produced imdeitely.
The ships have than performed just as effectively as the puddle jumpers in atlantis.

well thats about it.. tell me what you think.

I might get s sketchup done if I can be bothered.

Bit fanwank mate, i don't hink you can fit half of that equipment is such a small space

Fair play...ill just say its very long (maybe ill take out the rings and jump drive and something else)

and the reactor. use a liquid naq power cell (see POWER MODULATOR in Omnipedia)

Yup, normally you'd be absolutely right but since I decided to use uber powerful alien magnets on this one it can be this fanwanky and exist.

But in your opinion how fast should a gun of this size accelerate a projectile?

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

Mach 30. (just guessing)

[Crazy Tom]

*shrugs* Good enough, i really have no clue

[Daryl Froggy]

Okay then do you know the most it could possibly be?
