Original Starship Design Thread

[immhotep]

yeah the thing that seperates fanwank ships and truley decent designs is believability; if you cant see Sg1 flying around in one, doing missions, then dont think it will be built anytime in the next 20years. A good ship should be only good as it purpose dictates, a escourt ship does not need two hyperdrives and 6 shields, 3 ancent drone silos, 5 ZPM's and a dakara weapon pulse laser...it needs a shield, decent armour plating, defensive rail guns, a few missiles and something to distract the enemy ( space mines or hologram support craft).
the description also should not just desribe what a ship can do but why it does it, so having a supership that is 500years in the future designed by the ori and asurians with alteran knowledge is beliveable, but have area 52 create atlantis's out of asgard drydocks on the moon within the next 30 years is pathetic.

[Davidtourniquet]

^ Well that one hasn't got 6 shields, 5 zpms, dakara weapon. In fact nothing like that. As I said before all that tech in that ship is possible to be made and used. You cant stick to the current tech, you have to raise the bar slightly.

Heres a bit of physics for you all about deuterium-tritium fusion reactions.
Each fused particle gives out 16 MeV (Mega electron-Volts) of energy.
Say each point particle cannon has 1kg of fused material so thats 6.02x1023 particles. So thats 1.54x1012Joules of energy from 1kg of deuterium-tritium fused material.
No point to that bit, just something to think about.

I think your chemistry is off, specifically where you go from kg to mols. It may just be me because of been out of the chem loop for about 2 years now.

[mburrows]

why take so much offence, if i made a fanwank, id dumb it down a bit, like, if you want it to be an escort ship, think more like Corellian Corvet, not Star Destroyer lol


what you might want on an escot ship is this....


New one from me

HEX-412 (Longetivity Class)

Dimensions:Frigate

Material:
Reinforced Trinium Titanium

Power:
4x mk III naq generators

Defensive weaponry:
5 point defence rail guns

Offensive Weaponry:
2 twin cannon energy weapons(i dont care what kind as long as it isnt uber cannons) 4 high powered rail guns capable of accelerating rounds twice the speed of 1st gen rail guns

Shields:
asgard sheilds(there is no difference between oniel and daniel jackson class shields, just it depends on how much power is pumped into them

Armour:
16m Ionised Reinforced Trinium Titanium(dont care)


Fighters:
NO FIGHERS ON AN ESCORT!

Engines:
1x asgard hypser drive, 3x Ion acceleration drive, thrusters for manuvering and w.e else they might need them for

Other tech:

Asgard beaming tech
Rings
Cloak Capability to make it seem that the escort target is alone
ecm
eccm

[Davidtourniquet]

Ok, I keep forgetting counter-measures and counter-counter measures, but I think there isn't enough weaponry on the ship. I know I shouldn't but I've tried to base it on the defiant class from Trek. Except with an SG design. That is an Heavy Escort.

Freyr's, I do Nuclear Physics at Uni and we were told to work out how many atoms are in a mass of a substance you multiply the mass by avagadro's number. In terms of units its Mol/kg x kg, so Molkg/kg hence Mol.

[Cameron Mitchel]

if you dont mind, im going to design a spec sheet for this ship seen a few pages ago:





Name: Icarus

type: battle cruiser

Dimensions: twice size of a dsc-304

crew: roughly 350 plus 3-5 asgards

powerplant: lower grade asgard nuetrino reactor(rectangle little bulge in the hull), 3 naqudah reactors for missiles, point defence "felgar cannons" and lights, computers, systems, etc

engines: asgard ion engines, one asgard inter-galactic hypserdrive

support craft: 12 f-302s and variants, 2 puddlejumpers, 2 tel'taks for evacuation(recon if pjs are unavailable

Weapons(defensive): 14 point defence, perfected "felgar cannons"

Weapons(offensive): 12 naq enhances nuclear missile tubes, 5 Double-Barrel Heavy Felgar Cannons (equal to power of asgard ion cannons)

sheilds/armor: asgard designed sheilds, powered by the asgard reactor(which the reactor puts most it's power towards), asgard design hull plating

other tech:rings, asgard teleporter, ecm, eccm, asgard sensors, wider range anti prior wave generator



yes, mostly fanwank, but it might actually be possible with the help of the asgard...

So, this is a BC-305? Check out the latest posts of Ship Scaling Sprites Thread. Battera has come up with possible Designs:

http://forum.gateworld.net/showthrea...=27438&page=34



The Vulcan, Illiad, and Aquam were repainted by me. It is supposed to be reverse-engineered Ancient and Asgard technology. It has Beliskner guns. My Icarus has Beliskner guns and Tollan Ion cannon and a reverse engineered less powerful form of the weapon in SGA's Trinity episode.

Okay dude. As I said, it's been two years since I've taken chem.

Some ppl just dont understand...

[Harekin]

Can we rename this thread Original Fanwank Ship Design Thread?

[immhotep]

yeah i have to say this thread is getting less and less credible...were getting good images and models but the specs are getting, well fanwank as the post count rises.

[mburrows]

i try my hardest to not fanwank, i dont think i usually do, if you find me making a fanwank, PLEASE tell me lol, i hate fanwanking and i might do it on accident sometime in te future>_<

[immhotep]

hey were all guilty of fanwanking! i invented it for god sake! but there a difference between knowing ure fanwanking because you want have the best ship EVER and out compete other ships and producing a great design that could be implemented in to the show in the near future if the show evolved to the point where it required new ships...im sure that if the PTB put a new ship design in to the show that there will be one design on Gw in the various threads that is identical, and that person will be getting green

[JRPR]

yea i agree this thread is getting alot more fan wanky lately. i think the problem is that when people first design a ship it is complete fan wank and it get barated by everyone on the thread so that person doesnt want to design another ship. if you look back in the thread to my very first ship post it was the biggest fanwank piece of garbage out there but i did a fue more and i dont consider them to be fanwank. I have said it befor and ill say it again 'stay away from big energy weapons!'

[immhotep]

yeah thats the key, not super weapon, or energy weapon...the only two energy weapon we could plausable get hold of are hatak cannons, hive ship cannons at a push but if you want energy weapons then hatak cannons are the most likely because we have the most access and experience with them...and because they are decent enough to matter in a situation but crap enough for us not to get too much of an advantage from them.

[freyr's mother]

I can see everyone's having a hard time coming up with non-fanwankish ships that are different from everyone elses so why don't we do this: Everyone, post your fanwank ships! This way we can get it off of everyone's chests.

BEWARE OF THE LONG POST

My Super-duper-Uber Fanwank Ship

The DSC-4000 Superbattlecarrier (The Samantha Carter)

Dimensions
Body – 8 mi long, 3.5 mi wide, 1 level= 20m high

Weight
300 Million Metric Tons

Arm length
½ mi long, ¼ mi wide

Power
The Samantha Carter is powered by 6 zero point modules, as well as several dozen Mark II Naquadah generators for backup. There are also 6 spare ZPM’s.

Hyperdrive
Ancient Intergalactic Hyperdrive Powered by two Zero Point Modules and can reach speeds equivalent to 30,000c

Shields
ancient much like Atlantis’ shield, with a backup asgard shield
10 Sub-light engines: Ancient Sub-light system capable of reaching 185,999 miles/second

Docking clamps: can dock 2 Daedalus Class Battle Cruisers.

Escape Pods
one escape pod can hold 400 people, P-90’s and enough ammo and explosives to wage a small war. Will not leave ship until it is 95% occupied everyone is buckled. If so, escape pod will move to the side for jettisoning through a parallel tube.

Quarters- One quarters room on one floor is capable of holding up to 400 people.

Bridge
There are four sections to the bridge, the Primary Control, Defensive Control, Ground Control and the Briefing room. There are several asgard sensors on board to allow the beaming of multiple objects at a time. All positions have double the number of personnel to allow for half of each position to be on duty at any given time and half off duty. The exceptions are the pilots, Armored Divisions and Marines.

The Stargate on board has a universal point of origin and SG teams that go on missions through the Stargate have a special receiver that plugs into the DHD and automatically dials The Samantha Carter

Chair Weapons Platform
240,000 drones are capable of being called upon, 10,000 are stationed at each vent and there are 120,000 in storage

Cargo Bay- Split into two sections with a large door that separates the two. Both sections contain tractor beams One section is able to house 1,000 M1 Abrams Battle Tanks and the other section can hold something near the size of a goa’uld mother ship.

Fighters bays: The four fighter bays hold a grand total of 450 Puddle jumpers, 400 F-302’s w/VTOL capabilities, 125 Alkesh and 100 cargo ships. There are shelves in the fighter bays that stack the ships above each other. Two M1 Abrams tanks can be attached to one Cargo Ship for deployment along with 200 Marines plus the tank crews inside. Energy shields are placed at the exits of the fighter bays, so no depressurization is necessary.

Weapons Control – All weapons control consoles are manned by one person per weapon emplacement, all friendly vessels are programmed into the computer and cannot be locked onto.

Armories can be found throughout the ship but are locked under normal conditions with the exception of the Master Armory which is only accessible to SG teams and security officers.
