Original Starship Design Thread

[Einherjar]

It kind of has a homeworld (game) feel to it which I like.

thanks

So why don't you just use the ship's top as a flat deck?

there is a little recovery run on the top but i want this carrier to be more heavily armed than my fighter carrier so i plan to put weapons there.

Einherjar, may I ask what software you are using? I would very much like to get out of my simplistic 2D's (and yes guys I will try the one suggested). This, Einherjar I like the look of it, it is very "workshop" in it's physical appearance, as though an engineer would do a concept. Oh and thank's for all the 101's guys, I think I've got the spoiler thingy ok!

I use google sketch-up, heres the link http://sketchup.google.com/download/

Its a good easy to use, no thrills program....

Yo puddlejumperOZ nice modles

But those planes facing towards the camera look alittle like something from Battlefield Earth. just saying. but i still like it

Never seen it, seriously. They were supposed to be an improved version of the F302. After I transferred it from my CAD, to paint, I realised that in comparison to the F302 the wings aren't bent enough. I'll fix it eventually, but I'm still working on my AC401's. But here's the details of the "F307"

Spoiler:

F307'sB/C: Completely new versions of the older F302A model. The 307B, is a single seat ride, the C version has the D model weapons and wing form with four hard points on each wing and three on the underside of the fuselage (see below) but not the internal weapons bay, the B has two cannons only. C type has the larger ‘D’ model engines and no ventral guns, outfitted with special docking clamps, that allow craft to be attached to fittings on the outer hull of the new 310's, allowing those ships to increase their fighter carrying capacity by another 32 307's . Pilot enters via special entry ports that lower the 307's seat into the BC-310 inner hull. The B and C models are the favoured fighter pilots ride, even without the additional ventral guns, being the fastest and most manoeuvrable of all the 307's. (Cloaking and shields retrofitted after the ‘D’ models were proven.) The B & C models were given the tag of Phantom, in memory of the F4's of earlier days. Itself a highly capable and much evolved fighter.

Data; F307D/ E/F: Definitive larger version. Hyper capabilities now operational (on all models, except the original F302A model which is only used now as a lead in trainer exclusively at the Beta and Gama bases), as well as cloaking and shields. It has an enormous range, dependant only on the crews own ability for such sustained operations. Has internal weapons bay in lieu of the external hard points. Six Asgard design mini cannons, two on each wing and two in a ventral housing just behind the bomb bay, which now makes this one of the most lethal fighters in the galaxy. The Free Jaffa have been given limited access to them, (but only on those vessels that have a contingent of ‘Tauri’ advisors. B models have also been made available to Earth’s allies) as well as a few of the other allies that had managed to survive the Ori. The ‘E’ model will carry four to six crew for even longer range strike and recon missions. It’s internal bay being utilised for many applications. The ‘D’ and ‘E’ models will theoretically be able to escort Daedalus ships, without actually being stowed aboard, the crews only needed to be rotated every now and then. All the new 307's now have exhaust nozzle vectoring, to allow VTOL capability. ‘E’ models will be configured in a similar way to the Navy’s old E/A6B Prowlers, for long range electronic surveillance, jamming or as a strike bomber with mission profiles somewhat like the venerable F111. (A Tauri version of the Alkesh) The ‘E’ model will also have beaming capability. (In reality the ‘E’ is so different from all the other models, it’s like comparing a MK1 Spitfire to the post war versions). The ‘F’ is still on the drawing board, but it is planned as purely an attack bomber, it’s sole purpose will be to carry out bombing missions on land based targets, such as Wraith facilities.

Update on my Tauri Battle Carrier...

Spoiler:

[Dr Lee]

I like the stowaway in the rear... though i'm not sure there's enough room for it to get in and out easily

[Experiment 442]

looks like it had a large breakfast, its droppin bombs.

[puddlejumperOZ]

I hope those exterior runways are retractable, because if I was your enemy, I'd target them first, even in a space battle. Plus they make a nice place to land a boarding party, beautiful design though.
Just a little tactical wisdom from an old guy. Think about it.
Good work, wish I could do as well.

[Alpha Omega Protocol]

Ok been a while since I posted anything Well here is the final texture that is going to go in game. The game is star wars empire at war.

Spoiler:

Angled front

What do you guys think?

[Experiment 442]

If that's going in a game, it probably going to lag like hell.
