Original Starship Design Thread

[Dr Lee]

the main reason why i have so many designs still in WIP mode and so few actually completed is that i am constantly redesigning the meshes i have on my HD....

Case in point is the Mosquito Helo Gunship i designed a long, long time ago. It's gone through at least two maybe three rebuilds already....

and now it's been rebuilt again

Stats-

Spoiler:

Single pilot

Two Jumper derived engine pods and a single anti-grav unit.

Width- 5.3 foot wide
Length- 12.8 foot long
Height- 6.85 foot high

Four static gatling-gun style rail-guns

Designed as a Gate-travel offensive craft the LAH-382's main useage is backing up the numerous SGteams from a large base on P4X-9F4 as well as operations as ship defence squadrons and Jumper escorts.

x-306 (no offcial name as of yet)

class=intended for direct confrontation of any and all threats

length=~107m
height=~20m
width=~40m

armament:
asgard beam weapons
mark xii and mark xiii nuclear missles
horizon weapons platform
12x Railguns
VLS missle launch system
ancient drone weapons(if avalible)

armor:
trinium/titanium/naquadah alloy hull
ablative armor
trinium reinforced framework

sheilds:
sheilds reversed engenered from the sheilds of atlantis
asgard sheids for secondary and back-up

power:
4 naquadah power plants supplimented by 2 naquadria power plants for backup power
zpm(if avalible)

other technology:
asgard beaming tech
ancient control chair(if avalible)
cloak reverse engenered from puddle jumper cloak

propulsion:
sublight reverse engenered from puddle jumper drive pods
hyperdrive reverse engenered from atlantis stardrive

fighter capicity:
15 f-302s
3-5 puddle jumpers(if avalible)

the x-306 was designed after the remarkible succes of the x-305 design as a ship of the line for direct and devastatingly effective attacks against all opponents of the tau'ri.

the first ship will go directly into battle against what remains of the rouge wraith not under tod's control.

the first ship of the class has yet to be named and the absolute plans have yet to be layed down and its captain has yet to be named, but one of the canidates is teal'c of chu'lak.

[Experiment 442]

ok i've got a turret design and im wondering if its any good. basically the big cannons in the middle are like powerful slow rate of fire big guns that batter sheilds and hull, and the ones on the outside are like fast rate of fire low power anti fighter guns that take out fighters. The turret itself moves rather fast but can only go 45' up but all the way round. moves like a been because it, will, be balanced out by a weight at the back.

And yes i miss spelt Experiment

and i think the engines should be like this=
= (--) (----) (--) =
=(----) (---) (----)=

each dash repreasents an engine, the grounps represent a pod of engines.

and how do you put your images into the spoilers thing?



"You going to shoot him?"
"No, you do it!"
"I don't want to, he might get angry."
"He'll be dead!"
"Oh right."
BANG
"Is he dead?"
"No i'm not."
"Let me guess... zeltan?"
"No, Triclone!"

[tjoflojt]

well, they can't fire at both capital ships and fighters at once, since the different guns are locked together, but the anti fighter gun could be used to just clear the way for the big cannon.

looks nice though

The cannon looks pretty cool. Looks like it would pack a mean punch.

As for putting our images in spoiler tags, we do that because we upload them to image storing sites and link to them. Sites like imageshack and photobucket are popular, and free.

You just put your [ spoilers] [ /spoilers] tags around your images link.

i mean that the bolts the thing fires would be pretty slow, so fighters could intercept them. the small guns would destroy any fighters that try to intercept and when it hits they fire again and so on.

the engine bit was an idea to put into your ship hope it helps a bit

its looking good by da way.

I added small scale missile launchers the first set of boxes are the weights (ones at bottom) the ones on the top are amunition. the missiles are already in there launchers and have coverings so that they dont blow up if shot. im thinking of putting two of these babies on a fast frigate. huge engines, small body and enough space for a crew of twenty, two shifts. this would be a great all rounder, but it would be a huge target and would be easily destroyed if hit by a beam shot, or swarmed by drones.

and thanks finger13

"Now you shall die! By the slow effects of age! ha ha ha!"
"Im a kelbian."
"Shi..."
BANG
"What an idiot."
"You left the backdoor open, somebody's stolen the ship!"
"Wonderful."

One small question is why would we use an Alkesh hyperdrive? Why not leave it as a Tau'ri built drive? Certainly we're capable of making better drives then the Goa'uld were by now? Just a thought. Interesting design BTW.

Spoiler:

This is a rough render of what I've got so far. Forgive the covered up hangar support and some of the off-centre objects, I just threw them all in place quickly so that I could grab a few renders.

I worked on the engine details a little bit. There's a lot more detail to come on the pods alone. This project will take quite a bit of time I figure.

[thekillman]

it looks... sick

wow.


*amazed*

[ijffdrie]

that is one nice ship

My reason for having a Modified and upgraded Alkesh Hyperdrive is Space... the ship is tiny and a number of my ships are set just after the EATG, where the Tau'ri don't have the tech (That we have seen) to make a working hyperdrive smaller than the Prometheus'.

I've also changed the name of the ship class...... G-351 Spartan-Class.... first ship to be called-Leonidas and the rest named after known spartans.

[Experiment 442]

finished the basics of the frigate. the control room is in blue right now. the two heavy turrets are on the side, but i locked them in place. the engines aren't finished yet but i'm working on them. made this in about two hours so gimme a break if its not that good.

always up for sugestions

and finger13, its looking good

kinda looks like the star trek ship tho, just the hangars sticking out, still looks great tho.

"men. the british couldn't hit a barn form this dis..."

[tjoflojt]

don't know why everyone (2 people so far^^) is making these really high and thin ships, but i don't like it... however, i like the design otherwise.

New wip

Spoiler:

Well.. what's there to say. It's going to end up in the class of bomber. Many things are likely to change.
