      I thought they look rather neat and tidy, btw Exper, what calibre are they?

          I think we're going to see a lot of those canon. Would look awfully sweet on the CG340

              tbh, I don't like giving out my models.

              140mm, not sure what kind of gun they are though :L Probably stick a label saying 'Railgun'.

                how bout one of the two barrels is a railgun and the other is a thermoplasma cannon (like a staffweapon, but much more badass, like in the movie)

                  that could work actually, cause I've got this weird 'power core' thing in there for some reason.
                  Image 1
                  Image 2
                  top = railgun
                  bottom = thermoplasma cannon

                    Cool...

                    For some reason i decided earlier that i was going to look though all my 'Brit-Verse' ships to work out which ship was which class (Frigate/Corvette/Cruiser/ETC). It led me to see how i'd go about making a fleet with the ships i have....

                    factoring in all the points.... i've ended up with 80 ships and roughly 148-156 fighters

                    my workings-
                    Spoiler:
                    Ships-
                    Belatu-Cadros = Cruiser
                    Carrier = N/A (There can be only one!)
                    Enyalius = Frigate
                    Midget = Corvette
                    Hospital Ship = N/A
                    Cissionus = Freighter
                    Rapier = Short range patrol / gunboat
                    Repair ship = N/A
                    Fighter F320 = N/A
                    GJ309 = Gate-travel capable transport
                    Spear = Non Gate-travel capable transport
                    Patrol Ship = N/A
                    Sparrow Hawk = Fighter Trainer / possible small fighter
                    Stealth Ship = N/A (There can be only one!)
                    F.O.B. Ship = Forward Operating Base deploying ship (FOB group will consist of 2 Cissionus freighters, plus the FOB Ship)

                    Bases-
                    Modular space station.
                    - Modules = T - Junction / L - Junction / X - Junction / Straight / Spear Hanger / Power Core / Storage
                    Orbital Defence station
                    Planetary defence satellite

                    Vehicles-
                    Buggy
                    4wheel transport
                    6wheel transport
                    Bike
                    Fork Lift
                    Runabout

                    Carrier = 2 Belatu-Cadros = 3 Enyalius = 2 Midgets

                    F320 Fighter Squadrons = 2 ’flights’ of 6 F320 fighters = 12
                    - Carrier proposed to carry max 3 squadrons of F320s = 36

                    Sparrow Hawk Fighter Squadrons = 2 ‘Flights’ of 8 Sparrow Hawks fighters = 16
                    - Carrier proposed to carry max 3 squadrons of Sparrow Hawks = 48

                    The single Carrier group-
                    1x Carrier
                    - Fighter compliment, 2x F320 SQD (24)+ 1x Sparrow Hawks SQD (16)+ 2x GJ309
                    + 3x Spear
                    1x Belatu-Cadros
                    - Fighter compliment, 1x Sparrow Hawk (16) or 1 F320 SQD (12) + 1x Spear
                    2x Enyalius
                    + 1x Spear
                    3x Midgets
                    2x Cissionus
                    3x Rapier
                    1x Repair ship Group
                    - 1x Repair ship
                    - 2x Cissionus
                    1x Hospital ship Group
                    - 1x Hospital ship
                    -- + 2x Medical Spear
                    - 2x Midget
                    - 1x Cissionus
                    Hospital & Repair groups can detach from the Carrier group if/when needed.

                    29 ships, 52/56 fighters (Depending on which fighter the Belatu-Cadros carries)

                    Non-Carrier group ships

                    1x Belatu-Cadros
                    4x Enyalius
                    3x Patrol ship
                    6x Cissionus
                    8x Midget
                    5x Rapier
                    2X FOB Ship
                    1x Repair group (3 ships)

                    45 ships 12 or 16 fighters (Depending on the fighters on the Belatu-Cadros)

                    Fighters

                    1x Atlantis F320 SQD = 12
                    1x Atlantis Sparrow Hawk SQD = 16

                    2x Earth F320 SQD = 24
                    2x Sparrow Hawk SQD
                    - 1x Training = 16
                    - 1x active = 16

                    68 active fighters
                    16 training fighters

                    80 ships
                    148/156 fighters

                    228/288 ships in total……

                      Though the two threads are seperate entities, it was found after much discussion that TPTB got it totally wrong in lobbing all their SG craft into one numeric series: ie #300

                      That being said, Doc might I suggest as Blacky is doing a F100, yours could well be the F102

                      Oh and on a technical issue guys, the smallest calibre possible for a practical railgun is around 100mm, munitions below that (76mm and down) have insufficient iron to almost none to be capable of a magnetic reaction. If you're going for small calibre's such as 30mm cannon, use can use an enhanced propellant to give you more velocity at the muzzle.

                          The models are looking really good guys. It is all very inspiring.

                          On the 340 design: What is that antenna structure between the missile tubes? Also, do the missile launchers not interfere with the engineering spaces at the rear. The conduits in the model seem to run from the engine housing directly to where the missiles are. Is the fuel plasma positioned next to the missile tubes?

                          Well, SG-verse has created rather prevalent ambient temperature super conductors, which I think should develop a better magnetic reaction than iron, so I think we could safely suspend our disbelief of "small" calibre railgun rounds.

                            acctually i can answer those questions as i am donig the modeling of the 340 i had to resize the 340 due to scaling errors and in its original size the missile tubes would not fit where theywhere suppose to go without cutting into the hangar space since the resizing i have moved the missile tubes to thier proper locations ther should be some pics posted of the modified340 here soon

                              Im new to this and am wondering if anyone can help me in designing a ship

                                Very timely answer Setsu, I was in the process of formulating a similar reply, thanks

                                Oh as well, the 340 will have some big honkin space guns as per Jack O'Neill's request
