Original Starship Design Thread

[Alx]

exactly what i am going for killman! i was thinking it'd be the 304 with all the qerks that model had ironed out ie more protection (blast sheild shells) dual entrence hangars due to obvious need during combat etc and also adding a modern rounded design feel to it so it loocks distictly diffrent from the 304 towards the more modern style.

[Cmdr. Setsuna F. Seyei]

OK had Military Designers Block(MDB) so I decided to go civ.


Class: Recreation
Name: F.R.S. FESTIVUS(Latin for Fun)

Dimensions:
Length: 1620'/493.776m
Width: 860'/262.168m
Height: 100'/30.48m

Compliment:
150 guest cabins(total guest capacity 300)
50 crew cabins(total crew capacity 400)
1 ballroom
1 casino
3 daycare centers
2 rec rooms
2 pools
2 docking bays containing recreational vehicles
3 sublight engines capable of .69 lightspeed
Mk 9 Hyperdrive Core


History:
In the year 2090 an intergalactic war broke out between the Tauri and the Xiarans( pronounced She-ar-ans). For 58 years the war raged enveloping not only the Milky Way but Pegasus, Ida, and Andromeda as well. Then tired of the contant death the leaders of the Xiarans came to Earth to talk with the leaders of the Tauri. 2 years later an Accord was made and peace was found. many of the warships that were damaged or just outdated were sold as scrap. The Dex Corporation bought 50 derelict cruisers and converted them into cruise ships. The Festivus is the 6th gen model of this first cruise ship. During its devolpement the designers decided to produce a ship that would commemorate the 10th anniversary of the end of the war. So they decided to use the original ships design with modern upgrades. The Festivus was christened on August 12th, 2160. It has been in service for 1 1/2 years.

did som work on the engines..



any thoughts?

I approve of the hangar bays open at two ends, but the smaller ones between the big ones and the body, I believe make up the hyper drive. Given the similarity to the 303's hyperdrive, and the Asgard's twin spire system.

I've been thinking about making a new propulsion for my ships. Its similar to a Magnetohydrodynamic Drive but uses Dark Matter as a catalyst instead of water.
It will work on the same principles, but to make this hypothetical drive work I'm going to have to propose a few things that are theoretical:
First is a Plasma container in the center of the drive that can hold the plasma but can is also able to be open to the Dark Matter in space.
Second is that Dark Matter is conductive when passing through Plasma (I chose plasma because its the state of matter we know the least about) .
Third that there is an energy source powerful enough to supply the power to both keep the gas ionized, make an intense magnetic field and charge the Dark Matter.

Magnetoapproximatedynamic Drive (MADD) is the name.

I'll post a picture soon

[boberth2o]

I'll double post this one.



Okay first of all I think I have my Plasma Flow going in the wrong direction, I somewhat forgot the right hand rule.

The light red is the Plasma
The dark red arrows are the Plasma Flow
The dark red lines are the two membranes that contain the Plasma and are open to Dark Matter in Space.
The black lines are the containment vessel.
The grey areas are the positive and negative plates.

If you get the gist of it the Plasma moves with the Dark Matter at the same time. The Dark Matter is propelled out of the back and sucked in through the front, to save the Plasma it's recycled it a loop.

What do you think?

x-324 Rafael
codename : fun box
length : 60 m
width : 35 m
height : 35 m
interior space : 71884,173 cubic-meters
hull : 20 cm + 10 cm nanobot-hull

Spoiler:

nanobot hull is a hull made from nanobot , these bots play the role of a advanced hull and when needed can salvage materials from space junk and asteroids and use it to repair any micro-fissures

weapons : 1 asgard beam loaded whit 25 ECA( + a spare asgard beam to be installed when needed )

Spoiler:

ECA comes from energy cell ammo and represents a new breakthrough made by earth scientist , why use the power of a energy generator when you have in a ECA the power to destroy a wraith hive in one shot , the massive draw back is that a ECA can be used once .

Shielding : a new 12-linked electron info
Extra additions :
- cloak
- asgard beam storage .

Spoiler:

the asgard beam storage device disintegrates matter just like a normal asgard beam but instead of transporting it just place it in a buffer memory and unloads it at a later period .

- asgard beam
- gate drive for (emergency use only)
Engines : intergalactic .
Power generator : the newest naq generator .
Bridges :
-command
- 2 sleep quarter +1 bathroom ( shower included )
-mess hall

History : The SGC decide to build a ship to escort their big capital ships in the war whit the wraith .

note : i am not good at 3d art so for you get no shots but maybe in a distant future , well until then if anyone wants to make it just do it , and inform to so i can thank you , anyway fell free to use any of the inventions utilized in the x-324 in you own ship , but just put a description on what it does .

The return fighter entrances are a problem.
They are right over the engine exhaust.

Not only does this make for a two for one target,
But it's also dangerous for flight operations.
Fighters could possible cause damage to the engines during a return not to mention the fighter munitions.

That's the reason I believe the Daedalus doesn't have return bays in the rear like Galactica.

nope the hyperdrive seem to have its own nossles or thrusters at the back of the 304 the glow from those show up as blue purble when a hyperspace window is formed.
and the 2 smaller "hangars" would imo be cargo hangars and so will they be on this ship.

glad ya like it.

here is a high rez front shot.

This is my favorite Daedalus style ship, next the RJB's Phoenix

[Alx]

wow high praise glad ya like it bud there will be more pics of her soon but greebleing is slow going

Always is. Just wondering, on your ship, what are those extra places between the hangar bays and the main body of the ship for? The things that look like mini-hangar bays?

cargo pods/hangars
those pods will carry and launch a new tech i am building aswell as all sorts of cargo etc.
and greebeling is extra slow due to me not working on the ship very often.

[Saquist]

I still don't think the engines and landing bay association on this design is a good idea.

[Alx]

what? still? landing bay engine? please explain..

[Saquist]

Well I thought I posted it.

Landing bays are hot beds.
Generally you keep them away from primary systems if at all possible.
With the return bay being just above the sublight there are two distinct problems

Flight Operations are constant with Fighters.
Fighters have failures. Loss of Guidance or power could cause a collision with the sublight engines. That the damage to the engine could damage the flight bay too.

The second problem is proximity as well.
The locations off a two for one deal on targeting.

A third is fighter munitions that are loaded on those ships.

That's why I assumed that the Daedalus Class didn't have rear return where they easily could have. Of Course ships like the Galactica design are the best for seperate Egress and Entrance...In fact...Notice that Galactica could return fighters fore or aft...but fighter launches happen specificly on the longer length of bay....very smart...and the whole bay is completely separate from the Main Hull which for a Fighter Carrier...makes a heck of alot of sense.

Daedalus is a real carrier...It's more like an Escourt Carrier or destroyer. Flight Operations aren't it's main concern.
