[Experiment 442]

I'm just not used to seeing someone new with an acceptable ship, its like a first for me. :L

That's what she said.

Brilliant, though his ship is in the range of unending earth wish his spelling was too.

Also i'm working on a variant of the crucible thats thicker for all of you who like it larger. *snicker*
That and a assault cruiser.

I feel dirty, I just noticed the post above mine... :L

with no puns attached i almost finished the heavy variant of the crucible.

note/ the final tower piece isn't attached.

so is this preferred over the skinny version. though i realized the bigger the ship bigger the target.

[colbmista]

just an fyi the stress points to that design would be horendis if the ship ever laned on a planet it would snap in to 3 peices....

i agree. i'm sorry to tell you this but... the original version was fine IMO.

well on paper it looked cooler so i went to work to see how it would come out. i sorta liked the results namely the curves.

on another note leaving the cross shaped ships for a time, for this time i'm trying to figure out which texture should i use for this revamped jaffa carrier. the main pyramid i can't decide on a stoneish look or more of a metallic one. also from what u seen any tips for where i should head it.

I like the metalic one more, the stone one seems very dull and grainy, plus i dont think stone weathers very well under fire

[thekillman]

i don't know about the texture. it really depends on how you texture everything else.

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

First of all Tae, use a spell checker, We have a few English nasties here (read z). Ok from a flyboy, missiles per tube 1 only. The missiles are stored in loading racks/trays beneath the silos, they are automatically called up as each successive one is fired until you run out of ammo. Of course a ship that size (you say bigger, how much? 304 size?) would have it's limit with additional storage. A standard Prometheus class can already carry 8 302's so no real advantage there. Now 37 rail guns. Depending on the caliber, maybe 76mm you could carry about 12 max. If you made them any less in caliber, you might as well use standard 30mm gatling guns, which would be very effective anyway. With that size, possibly 30 would be realistic. Your Asgard beam weapons could handle earlier Hat'aks, but it's possible and I haven't watched SGU, the Lucian Alliance Hat'aks may we be able to counter those weapons with stronger shields. I could be wrong on this point.

I would think that the Jaffa would want to get away from the Goa'uld's designs. Make their own so they don't have the lurking memories of their oppression in the design of their ships.

[Merlin1701]

I agree with bob, I still think they would be large imposing ships though.
