    The photo is from my home at countryside if you are wondering about all the trees.

    Must learn photoshop still because editing in paint is hell..

    Tell me what do you think.

    Enjoy

    I'll second that. It looks good, now all you need to do is get some texturing happening and take it up to the next level.

        Nice pictures Semmer, I'm glad that you got your 3D programs working.

        anyway here's just another set of comparison pictures. This time they're of the
        Cob-class carrier's various incarnations.

        What do you think about the change comparisons?

                      The one in the middle. The right one looks good too.

                        Thanks Murcielago.....I'll edit this into some specs later

                        Specs:

                        Spoiler:
                        Name: Defiant Class

                        Type: Long range hyperspace capable heavily armed patrol ship

                        Technology base: Tauri, Asgard, Tolan

                        Class: Cruiser

                        Hull: Naquadah/ Trinium Alloy

                        Dimensions: 600m by 250m bye 50m

                        Crew: Skeleton Crew: 15
                        Max Personnel: 100

                        Powerplant: 1 mk4 naquadah generator

                        Engines: Standard Asgard/ Tau'ri sublight engines
                        Asgard intergalctic hyperdrive and one interstellar as backup

                        Armanent: 4 MK2 forward facing Taur'ri ion Cannons, 6 defensive railguns, 2 triple turreted forward facing 30mm coil guns

                        Defences: Tau'ri/ Asgard shilelds

                        Fighter Compliment: It does not actually carry fighters, rather one tel'tak sized craft in each hangar.

                        Other Technology:Asgard transporters, rings, advanced computers, planetary scanners, Hyperdrive energy buffer

                        History: While the US was busy making more advanced ships to fight in the war against the Kreethen (my own race not going to go into them now, suffce to say they soup up Ha'taks) the US govenmant finally relented and gave the UK and several other countries the rescources to build starships of their own. The Brits decided to use what they already had to make a powerful ship to patrol the Kreethen occupied systems, and engage and destroy up to two upgraded Ha'taks or a Kreethen cruiser alone.

                        The H.M.S.S. Defiant was first completed in 2013 and after several successful operations against Kreethan ships and took part in a planetary assualt was put into full scale production on a British owned islnd in the pacific ocean. Since then the Defiant class had become the Brits main warship and another 5 have since been built with 4 more still on the production line.

                        The red stripes on the hull indicate the amount of enemy Capitol ships destroyed. The 4 ion cannons on the front give great offensive power against most enemy ships with a fast rate of fire. One advancement that was first tested on the Defiant class was a hyperdrive energy buffer. This works by storing energy in a buffer and sealing it off from the rest of the ship except the hyperdrive, if the the fight is going badly and the ship needs to make a quick getaway and the hyperdrive has no power for whatever reason the enery stored in the buffer is tranfered to the hyperdrive, Allowing atleast 20minutes hyperdrive travel with a full buffer.


                        well there you go, feel free to pick holes in it

                            Okay, this has been too long in coming.

                            Back in mid January I asked ZakeD if I could use, and modify, a design of his to make my own ship. He didn't have the ship in Sketch-up format and it would be rather difficult to transfer it over. So instead I took the three pictures that were on Gate World and worked to "reverse engineer" my own ship from them.

                            Here are two shots of my attempt at making my own from ZakeD's pictures.

                            Spoiler:


                            This second spoiler contains one of ZakeD's pictures that I used to make mine, here for comparisons sake.
                            Spoiler:


                            It is meant to be a smallish, compared to other Earth ships, dedicated cargo ship. I'm currently of two minds for a back story.


                            So what do you think of my take on ZakeD's design?
