Original Starship Design Thread

[Cmdr. Setsuna F. Seyei]

ok heres a simple way to solve this arguement. two people build a 635m ship 1 out of current Earth based materials and the other out of a trinium naquadah carbon alloy. we'll launch both of them and see whose survives the longest.

The Earth built ship would, because a polymer of light weight materials would not have the required mass to sustain it's own gravitational inertia. That is science, not fiction

....so Asgard ships and ha'taks, ori ships...how do they surive when they are far bigger than a 304?

...are you using quantum physics or old physics?

Because bigger objects need more internal support structures to stop them collapsing in on themselves?

Thankyou my child, I'd green you again if I could

If only you could, father

I did it for you.

Here are a few more updates. I completely redid the top engines and hangars, and changed the hull around a little.

Spoiler:

nice details but i am not a fan of BSG. and mixing it with tauri styling stings quite alot in my eyes.

The only thing reminiscent of BSG is IMO the hangars. I just can't bring myself to incorporate SG's terrible hangar designs into my ships lol. Having fighter jets fly out of a cargo bay sized opening with no runway for landing or combat landings is pretty naive, even with automated landing systems in place.

very strange but very cool.

I dislike the silos behind the bridge. It the was nice with the engine gap on the galactica because it was long, I think your ship it too short for it. Maybe another engine or raising the back up could make it flow better.

Love the front, but i'm not sold on what's behind the bridge... Maybe shortening the fins and putting a superstructure where the silos are behind the bridge MIGHT be an idea?

i liek the redisign of ur model the original wasnt as sleek lookin

Greenworthy statement, that was the worst Stargate design blunder, having a one way hangar, whatever were they thinking? D'oh
