Original Starship Design Thread

[Andrew Joshua Talon]

Hmmmm... It's close to fanwank, but not bad, not bad at all.

[Andrew Joshua Talon]

Allright... This should be the last revision of the Abydos. I can't help it, it's my favorite ship, and I'd like to get it right. Hopefully, again, this will be the last time I revise it, but then again...

Technical and Historical Notes:

The idea of a spaceborn carrier for F-302s had been considered
since the launch of the first prototype fighter. However, the
Deadalus-class starships offered a battleship, carrier,
and troop ship all rolled into one, and so was the craft of
choice. Alongside the 304-class vessels was the 306, a heavy
cargo carrying starship intended to ferry supplies back and
forth between the Pegasus and Milky Way galaxies. They were
built simply but soundly, with an emphasis on speed.

After the horrific battle at the Supergate with the Ori, Earth
had only the Oddessy for defense. With the need for a
much larger space fleet obvious, it was decided to complete five
C-306 class starships as fleet carriers, much as had been done
in World War Two with the Independence-class carriers.
Emergency work was carried out, and all of the new
Aegis-class carriers entered service four months later.

The Aegis-class carrier is much faster in both sublight
and hyperspace than any other Earth ship. This was
intentional-Her job is to get her attack fighters to a combat
zone as quickly as possible, then stay out of harm's way to
support her planes. Without needing to power large weapons
systems, the Aegis has much more powerful shields as
well, letting her absorb a great deal of punishment before
shield failure.

Her standard air wing is comprised of 36 F-302s, 16 EA-302s, 8
SC-309 Pegasus utility craft, and two Tel'tacs. She has room for
over 100 craft for ferrying purposes to allied bases, and can
accomodate Jaffa Deathgliders as easily as Earth fighters. Her
munitions and fuel supplies allow her to maintain continuous
combat operations for over three months, and in her secondary
role as a transport ship, can carry up to 24 months worth of
supplies to friendly ships and planets. As an assault carrier,
she can transport over 3,000 troops into hostile territory,
along with their vehicles and equipment. A more common tactic is
to carry half her standard air wing alongside 900 troops,
allowing her to support ground operations with air strikes.

Owing to their exceptional design and brave crews, only one
Aegis-class carrier has been lost to the Ori, the Hercules. The
Aegis herself suffered heavy damage while acting as a
decoy for the Ori Fleet in the battle to liberate Chulak. Two
more Aegis-class carriers are already under construction,
and the Russians, Chinese and British have all expressed
interest in producing their own versions.

Background:

Based upon the US Air Force's infamous B-2 Stealth Bomber, the Bahamut (named for an legendary Arabic monster) is a tough, no-nonsense assault starship. Built to fight the Ori, she has numerous advances and features that assist her towards that end.

Firstly, her anti-gravity wave generators are arranged in her wings. With her blended wing shaped body, this makes her incredibly maneuverable and agile. Two of her eight sublight drives face forward over her wings, allowing her to brake and slow herself much more quickly. Finally, her flying-wing shaped hull makes her a very difficult target to hit.

Her weapons include six positron cannons. After an experimental weapon found on a dead world was able to provide an effective defense against Ori starships, Stargate Command retrieved the weapon and determined that it was an anti-matter based weapon. Extensive research finally allowed the SGC to reverse engineer the weapon, and with the help of the Asgard deployed several examples on current starships. The Bahamut makes use of the latest version of the positron cannon, capable of blasting an enemy ship with the equivalent of a multi-gigaton nuclear detonation. The positron blast interacts with an enemy ship's shields or hull, and annihilate it in a huge energy release, thus using an opponent's defenses against themselves. It has proven devastatingly effective against Ori and other threat starships. The latest version employed on the Bahamut are twice as powerful as the original models, which should give the starship a decisive advantage against any threats in the foreseeable future, and be a major boon in the war against the Ori.

She also employs the latest ship-to-ship missile system, the Mk. 10 tactical missile. Using a simple inertial dampening system, the missile can move and evade even faster than most enemy fighters. New Mk. 10E stealth missiles (equipped with cloaks) let her destroy enemy targets before they know what hit them. And her reliable pulse laser turrets grant her effective protection from enemy fighters and munitions.

The Bahamut is intended as a limited-production starship-The sheer cost of it's considerably advanced technology will keep it that way for some time. Still, even a few of these great starships have helped turn the tide against the Ori, proving the effectiveness of the class.

Other than the cloak I really like this one. Though I don't like cloaks on any earth built ship. The backstory is probly the best part, good work.

Well, I am a writer. Thanks!

[immhotep]

I reallly like both of the designs up there, especially the aegis, that is IMO our fleet carrier, because its the best ive seen yet.
The bahumet is a cool ship but the drawing looks more like a heavy bomber or gunship rather than a battleship. But we have varied opinion of what a battleship is so there we go.

History of the Prestige Class
4 years after the launch of the Daedulus class Carrier, a new Carrier was required.
The result between mainly the Americans and the British was the prestige class.
Using anti-missile defences that were going to be used for the “Star Wars” missile defence system. These weapons were added to all ships after 2007.
With the capturing of the Wraith hive ship in “no mans land”. The first thing to do was to try and incorporate the plasma weapons into our ships offensive weaponry.
The other main upgrade to the daedulus, is the 3rd hangar which sits on top of the ship (like the Prometheus’s tower, just this time a hangar). At this time, it is undecided whether to fill this with Dars,F-302As or Jumpers or a mixture of the 3.

[immhotep]

take off the fusion drives they are just pointless. Other than that i think that its a great candidate for the fleet, plus because the leviathon has wraith plasma cannons, this ship can also have them...leviathon being the flagship, other ships would have them too.

The tauri decided in 2009 that a ship capable of landing anti culling force must be designed for the war effort against the wraith thus the cobra was built to carry the troops and fighters into battle against the wraith. It has a large fighter complement to deal with darts and is itself heavily armed although still no match for an upgraded hiveship.
It also has the largest beaming facilities of any ship on record with a specialised beaming room capable of transporting 100 troops to the ground thanks to it's 16 triangulated beamers capable of setting seperate cordinates

After ecountering the goa'uld in the year 1996 the tauri have strived to obtain advanced weapons for defence but have met with limited success. The bc-303 and bc-304 were a success but it soon became clear a new weapon system would need to be developed to counter the threats faced by earth.
To this end in area 51s main priority was to design a viable energy weapon for earths use. The break through came in the year 2008 when with tokra assistance earths first energy weapon was completed. With a barrel measuring nearly 12m in length the weapon was still very crude but with tokra assistence the weapon was refined, posessing roughly half the firepower of a ha'tak main canon the weapon was deemed a success and was deemed ready for combat testing.
It had this testing in the Helios carrier the testbed for many new technologies it was the first ship in the fleet to use an ancient power system method. After studying atlantis's Z.P.M interface it was discover a similar system could be adoped on tauri vessels using naquada generators to increase energy efficiency, this improved most ship systems by nearly 20%. The main energy canons are located at the front of the ship and can fire twice every second thanks to an extra power generator tied directly into the weapons(the generator is protected by advanced cirquit breakers to prevent overload). Although not nearly as powerful as our adversaries weapons, the new weapon added to our speed and asgarsd shielding should be enough to give our enemies more than a bloody nose.
It's primary role is as a carrier and it is equiped to carrier up to 44 fighters in it's 2 huge hangers.

History

the first ship the magellen was completed on july 4th 2009 and commanded by colonel james lance. the ship first saw action along side the odyseey, 2 Abydos class destroyers and 3 o'neil class ships against a single ori ship. the ships combined fire power caused the ori sheilds to fail just long enough for a lucky gatebuster traveling at 1,000,000 m/s to enter the ships shields and explode inside the ships shields when the blast wave and flash faded there wan nothing of the ori ship left

the second ship, Vengance, commanded by british vice admiral charle cole was completed 1 year later an dispatched to the pegasus galaxy to assist the dadalua and orion. the mass driver proved horribly effective against wraith hive ships , nearly as effective as beaming nukes aboard.the 250mm railguns were ideal for handling cruisers with copmaritive ease

the third ship the trident is currently under construstion at the isgs's fleet yards in northen siberia
