Original Starship Design Thread

[RogueRanger]

I need some help. I want to create a hospital ship but I have no idea about specs and stuff. I can sort of do some like little ships and the like, but if it's big I'm lost. My basic idea is for a ship to have at least the following

* Patient Capacity:
Intensive care wards: 80 beds
Recovery wards: 20 beds
Intermediate care wards: 280 beds
Light care wards: 120 beds
Limited care wards: 500 beds
Total Patient Capacity: 1000 beds
Operating Rooms: 12
*
Departments and Facilities:
Casualty reception
Radiological services
Main laboratory plus satellite lab
Central sterile receiving
Medical supply/pharmacy
Physical therapy and burn care
Intensive Care Unit
Dental services
Optometry/lens lab
Morgue
Laundry
Oxygen producing plants (two)

Operating crew (Military)

60+

Mecdical Crew

approx 900-1100

Three auxillary craft like the AC401 carried internally in a single docking bay and cargo bay

Lead Ship name the Marie Curie

First off, are the oxygen plants required for plot purposes? If not, them I'd split it up into something like 60 Bosch reactors for redundancy.

Aside from that, I think your best bet is a Borg cube. Engines at the bottom, landing pads/hangars on top, medical stuff in the middle. You could make it a flattened square to increase carrier deck space if you'd like.
Either way, it can physically land and become a hospital in order to provide on site assistance in case of disaster relief.

[RogueRanger]

The oxygen plants are required for patient and surgical uses over and above the ships atmosphere production. Yes I think it should have landing capability in that respect. I'd be extremely grateful if someone could do a model even a rough one. I'd ask dad but he's like so busy, he can't even do stuff for himself atm

so you want this thing to hold at least 2200 people (crew/patiants)? thats a lil over kill a actual hospital doesnt hold that much

[puddlejumperOZ]

No not really Colby, Mel copied those stats from the USNS Mercy, so it's not out of doable. And Mel, yes I would do it for you if time permits sweetheart, how long can you wait.

[thekillman]

combining humanity's fast hyperdrives with a hospital ship, you can pick up patients in an entire sector and then drop off as needed. add a stargate for longer distances

[Experiment 442]

That would probably be the most awesom ambulance trip evar!

(Living it up in cornwall!)

[Lord Excalibar]

no kidding. ambo trips would easily go 10 times faster not to mention the injury rate would probably plumet

[jackclone1]

The Sulaco from Alien2 would be good start to designing that type of ship

[blackluster]

^hmmm, the Sulaco doesn't have enough bays, plus contrary to the current suggestions, it can't touch down. Ironically, I think a retrofitted ha'tak would be super ideal.

[jackclone1]

How would the SGC justify using a Goa'uld based ship? They'd have to either steal it or get one from the FJN. Point being, I think they'd rather build their own from scratch. Most Naval hospital ships are re-fitted commercial ships anyway, so maybe a dedicated and stretched 304 design might do. I only mentioned the Sulaco as a basic design anyway, it would of course have to be modified. I've seen one in the SU download models, maybe someone could nick it and play around with it.

[Saquist]

Any naval hospital ship will be a new design. They don't have the spare ships to just use for this sort of provisional purpose.

I started a hospital ship and medical transport a while back...when the medical ship thread was about.

Spoiler:

atm im still woking on my cargo ship and rebuilding my first ever attempt at modelling...my helios class.

[Experiment 442]

The helios was awesome! Can we haz render?
