my gunship entry for the AU fleet

Designation: ***-322

Production Rate: 12 per Annum

Dimensions:
80m long
27m wide
15m high

Powerplant:
-2x Mk II Generator
-2x Mk I Generator

Hull
40% steel, 30% Aluminium, 30% titanium

Propulsion

Historical and Technical notes:

In 2016 the Tauri were well into the war with the Wraith with no side having the upper hand. The last ship class that was to be built was the gunship. On the 15th of January 2016 engineers released the plans for the 322. The ship passed all expectations the main advantage being the Kamikaze Cannon.

The Kamikaze Cannon is a slightly toned down Mk III Cannon producing 300mt pulses. The cannons only disadvantage is that it is static and the ship needs to be pointed at the target. Each barrel on the cannon fired one shot every 5 seconds giving it an overall 1 shot per second R.O.F.

Pics (Models not Finished still to add some rail guns and stuff

Update, more greebles

Spoiler:

Make sure the guns can rotate properly, hose guns behind the aft turret, and on the sides of the forward one owuld impede it's rotation, and i think you should add some of those to the bottom.

Mike: I'd scarap the hamerhead entirely, it's to stuby to add any real performance, and it's dead weight in space combat.

can the razor?

Why?

[Crazy Tom]

can the razor?

Why?

Becuase it looks like it's not a major improvement on hte 302 in any way exept cool looks, still, a darm good model

[boberth2o]

Hey RJB, how do you get those lines on the edges to disappear from the render

[ManiacMike]

Becuase it looks like it's not a major improvement on hte 302 in any way exept cool looks, still, a darm good model

Well, it has 2 extra control surfaces as to add better maneuverability in an atmosphere. Should have more agility than the original 302.

Plus in the world of sci-fi looks count as 80% of the way a ship looks.

what do you guys use for rendering?

[thekillman]

lightwave, blender. i believe

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

And Bryce for Sketchup.

[thekillman]

i use podium

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

Never heard of it.
