    Cool... say, could you make one of New York, with a nuclear blast just blossoming? And "Stargate: Terra Nova" on it?

    Maybe with the statue of liberty being outlined by the blast?

      Okay I have been making slow progress on this. I never have free time anymore .

      But alas, I'm slowly churning out my new hybrid ship.

      Spoiler:






      The ribbing will be much less pronounced in the end, with only roughly half of it showing (like on the Galactica). I need to add more armour plating to fill in the gaps.

      Oh, and I haven't started editing the bottom section's ribbing, so that's why they jut out so far.

      And in case anyone is wondering how big it is, it would be as large as the Daedalus, maybe a bit bigger. Not as big as either of the Battlestars.

          I think the front should have smooth plating instead of ribbing, and the "plate" should be closer to the body.

              I take it the holes at the front are Beam emitters?

                    Thanks! It'll be a walk in the park ... a very scary park, filled with monsters who are trying to kill me.

                    I like the yellow ones.

                    Operation "This Will Most Likely End Badly" is a go.

                    OH CRAP!!!

                          What holes???

                          If you mean the holes in those rectangular bits down the side, they didn't really have a purpose at first, but now that you mention it if they were positioned a little further out from the ribs they would make good spots for beam weapons.

                            Yeah, the forward-facing holes/tubes next to the nose are the ones I meant.

                              Let me do some tweaking and I'll turn them into weapons...

                                Okay, so I touched up those weapons pods. I will add a lot more detail to this later, just trying to get the basics sorted out first.

                                I added more panelling and modified the ribbing so as to make the bottom ones less pronounced.

                                Spoiler:





                                I still don't know what to do with the engines. I'm thinking it might be better to pursue an engine style like the Daedalus instead of the Battlestar style, or perhaps have a BSG style engine only tucked between the flight pod and the hull.

                                Not sure... Suggestions?
