Original Starship Design Thread

[Crazy Tom]

I'll try your idea.

For the cargo, 3 solutions are available :

- put all you can in the living-room

- there is a set of mechanical arms (like the ones used by Dr Octopus in Spiderman, or the machines in Matrix) to grab & move the cargo.
I have not yet drawn them..

- a beam device like the one used by the Wraith or the Asgard in "Thor's Chariot". It dematerialize objects and store them as "energy signatures". For contraband, it's the best way to not meddle in the affair of your employer...

But wraith biotechnological dematerialisers are kind of rare.

Safer bet ot make it compatible with those cargo pods already in use in the MW.

BTW: The Icarus from Sunshine is good inspiration for realistic spaceship interiors.

Do you have a more precise idea about that? 1 more picture to help you (I hope... )

Once again an outstanding ship comes out of the Lord Groovy ship yard. It's been awhile since i've seen a ship not inspired by the Daedalus or Prometheus. Good Job

[ManiacMike]

How about having the arms close in, so like when its in autopilot it is protected.

Its an interesting design.

Very cramped lol

Finally something original! Very good! The idea is excellent!

1. I'll try looking for Icarus pics. Thank You.

2. What are those cargo pods?

3. another alternative : rings associated to memory drives.
You go to a space-station,
take a cargo transport mission,
the guy dematerialize the cargo using rings with a special frequency acting as code,
transfer the energy signature in the memory drive aboard your ship and send the code to the receiver
you go with your ship to the rendez-vous point
the other guy using his frequency code and rings, rematerialize the cargo.

+1 for confidentiality
+1 for transport to place that don't have a stargate
+1 for the clients that only have to pay for the rings booking and the subspace transmission of the code

Hey! I have just invented space UPS!

Spoiler:

Looking very nice... I don't like the tracks for the turrets though. Not the modelling, the actual idea.

[Character]

i have to agree, the model looks very nice, but the tracks dont make too much sense.

[Crazy Tom]

It's also far too boxy for an atmosphereic reentry craft. Which- I assume- It is?

Thanks, Well that part of the model can always be altered but I'm not at that point yet. Maybe later if I feel like it or I dont like it.

Well it's not a reentry craft, its a Cargo Ship, I modeled it after the Skycrane helicopter design, a ship that can pick up cargo containters.

[immhotep]

Looking really good mate.

[Dr Lee]

Looking good there Boberth....

Is the storage seperate modular sections or a single compartment?

(Must get back to my 3D stuff)

its one section

[boberth2o]

well I hate to double and in some cases triple post but this thread has been going slow lately, Once again here is another WIP update
