Original Starship Design Thread

it reminds me of a mag lift...like the one from VOY episode Rise

[Experiment 442]

Its looks so 2d to me for some reason. Maybe copy spin the two arms at the top 90' to give it an X shape from a top view.

[Crazy Tom]

Nice idea, but it may be a bit too thin, if you know what I mean.

Not all ships have to be hulking monsters.

Of course. But one shot from an Ion Cannon, and it looks like you could snap that ship in half.

well those ships aren't meant to be on the front lines they could be considered snipper ships with their modified mining beam thing.
though you are right though a hit from a decent sized cannon of sorts would tear the ship in half. thought by the time anything gets in range i say jump into hyperspace.

[Experiment 442]

Or, you could just make it a little bit thicker...

I know, I know. I'm just saying...but it's your ship. Design it as you will.

Size is deceptive. That "spindly" little stick could be massive; it would only look thin due to the enormous size of the whole ship. A ship a thousand miles long and a hundred wide looks thin, but a hundred miles across is nothing to sneeze at! (That's an exaggeration, I know, but it gets the point across.)

Not according to the modeller, and besides, try manoeuvring that thing. Inefficient.

i have a ship it would have the basic hull of the prometheus but bigger it will have the asgaurd core 3 asgaurd beam weapons and 37 rail guns 4 missle lonching bays with 5 nukes and 15 normle missles in each missle bay it will have a x302 bay that can hold 8 x302s and its shields will be as strong as the deadalus and it will be built to explore planets without stargates or assist in battles because it will be strong enough to take out 2 hataks alone without braking a sweat

That's what she said.

[Experiment 442]

can you give us a bit more information about the ship? It seems like a rather overly powered ship for its size.

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

And yet, I see nothing out of the capabilities of post-Unending Earth. Another example of how the writers elevated us on high.

[Experiment 442]

Just a little bit. Sheilds wouldn't be as stong, maybe a 3/4 the strength of a 304. And there are too many missiles to a pod me thinks. Tone the missiles and the shields down a bit and it'll work. Also what engines does it have?

[Lt. Col. Mcoy]

Or just add more tubes.

All of this stuff would fit fine.
