Original Starship Design Thread

aside from the rather overkill engine array, it's awesome.

The idea is it's the hot rod of strike craft.. the four big engines are the main thrust, while the otehrs can be used for an "Afterburner" or used properly, extra maneuverability. The original only had the four engines, but i kinda like it with the mega array of engine doom. It's clearly different from standard ships in SG without being overly different. The color scheme and design principles i think is a great marriage of the different techs mentioned.

Also unlike Daedalus, its design interior is very specific. and efficient. It's not meant as a deep space vessel, rather a medium range heavy attack ship. It DOES have some science facilities aboard, but it's not its main function.

Quick update. I added panels to the Flight Pods and I'm currently re-modeling the front end to make the ship flow better.

you do know that with plasma or ion engines more power is more thrust ?

looking good!
and im happy you are adressing the front as it could use it
good stuff.
any chance of more angles? like front/bottom?

Shrug, i'm not going to write a thesis on this I like it with the extra engines as it's the look that matters to me mostly. I can work out the science later.

I've started on something about a few hours ago, remember I work slowly XD perhaps it's something

i like it very alien.. lots of segments visible tho.

what do you mean with segments?

[Alx]

what do you mean with segments?

the middle round arhes have them clearly visible
and by segments i mean the nr of segments used in a circle and yours apear to be quite low in the middle of the ship.

well that is sketchup, I cannot get it to look better, that is one of the few pints I am rather bad at.

I must commend all of you, there is a definite trend here of sheer awesomeness

actually you can by either making a circle and editing the entity info changing the amount of segments from 24 to 48
or you can simply select the circle or hafcircle tools and typ 12-24-48 segments and press enter therby you will have a smoother look.

[locutes]

will I have to redraw them?
