Original Starship Design Thread

[Daryl Froggy]

if it is sent to replace the deadalus, it needs some sort offensive capability.
the daedy may be acting like a very expensive transport but it is also a heavily armed warship..

that is true but I couldn't think of how to put an effective weapons system onto this without making it too slow to reach Pegasus. After all most of the space aboard this thing is dedicated to cargo space. Everything else is either essential or not there.

History of the slayer class battleship
After the total ownage, the MW fleet took against the ori (Camelot). The international community decided Earth needed a more power ship. The project was give to the British and Americans to make. Ask the yanks and this is the X-401. After sheppard ditched the dart (the hive) and returned to atlantis, the daedulus went back and retrieved the dart and took it back to Earth on its next trip there. While onboard the wraith hiveship, mckay was able to remove specs from the wraith weaponry and also steal a few torpedoes (after Allies). Again taken back to Earth for further study.
The British have been working on particle cannons for a new Earth fleet, before the decision was made about the slayer class. They used Naquadria and not naquadah as the base energy yield was much higher. Each cannon on the ship takes 2 minutes to recharge.
The Armour can withstand a barrage of Ha'tak weaponry.
Much like the daedulus in shape, except for the 2 "wings".
While the fleet hardly made a dent in the ori "toilet class" ships, the slayer is rumoured to do 15% damage on the ori's shields before being critically damaged. Still not a lot but it's a start.
The russians and chinese have ordered 1 each, so have the germans. But the french are pessimistic about this craft.
The British ship has been made in the highlands of Scotland, underground so not to be seen by the public and the Yanks have made theirs in area 51.
Process time: 1 every 18 months - 2 years.
First one built end of 2008

Britain: Slayer
American: Freedom

im sorry, 1000 coild guns on that siz of a ship that already has a bunch of ion cannons?you do know that asgard ships only have like 2 ion cannons right(at least i think that is it) im sure their power source can handle it, but our?and 16 of them?plus 1k coil guns?that is A LOT of power, almost impossible to get that imo...for our lvl of tech....maybe 50-60 years?

you have to remember it has a naquadah generator for each cannon so it generates enough power

I reallly like the back story, but earth couldn't build this now maybe in 20 years yeah...I like how you keep the use of puddlejumpers low. ZPMs are rare and hard to comeby so designing a series to ships to run on them is impractical and dangerous...naquidriah is rare and in low supply...

History(reason for existence):
In the aftermath of Earth’s first and disastrous encounter with the Ori warships it was decided that earth needed to recall the Daedalus from the Pegasus galaxy to help deal with this new and dire threat.

To replace the Daedalus as support craft in Pegasus the Jitterbug class intergalactic Cargo/Scout ship was designed and three were built for use there. Nine more are designated to be built to help conduct offworld operations in this galaxy.

At first i had 6 jumpers but thought maybe a bit too much. Considering now that atlantis has loads.
The zpm i dont think is a problem as i said in the brief, the first one was built at the end of 2008, considering it takes 18 months to build, basically they could of found 1 zpm in the time for it to be built. No zpm, chuck in a few more generators.
Again the same with the naquadria, given enough time naquadah could be enriched into naquadria, plus any Jonas Quinn's race can spare.
Given in my version of things the original particle cannon was already made, integrating the naquadria into the cannon can be left till later on in the building proceedure.
But think all that and only knocks of 15% of the ori shields, takes 7 to take out the shields of one.

[immhotep]

This is going to be my first ship in this thread, woo, go me!

Name: Leviathon
Place of construction: Lantia, Pegasus galaxy
Type: Warship

Hull: trinium-titanium-steel alloy, reinforced with Anti-plasma ceramic plates

Power:
1 x mark III naquadah Generator
5 x mark II naquadah Generators
18 mark I Naquadah Generators + 1 for each main rail gun emplacement

Engines:
*2 Asgard interGalactic hyperdrive, installed as two ventral fins, capable of atlantis to earth trip in 8 days.
*12 Hebridan ion proppulsion engine
*8 alteran sublight drive pods, retroengineered and fitted from the orion

Shielding:
*1 X asgard/alteran hybrid ship class bubble shield
*1 X Goauld internal dampening field

Weaponry:
*6 wraith ship to ship plasma cannon
*12 secondary missile launch silos, each having 8 mark X Naqadriah enhanced warheads with Ion propulsion technolgy, extreamyly fast, agile and deadly.
*36 main rail gun, each powered by an individual Mark I maquadah reactor - for main ship to ship
*144 secondary rail guns ( along the neck of of the ship ) - for fighters and bombers
*144 tertiary rail guns on the underside of the ship - for fighter and ground troops

Other craft:
64 - F302 fighter craft
8 Lantian puddle jumpers

Secondary systems:
*all standard asgard and goauld technolgy: beams, scanners, computers, translators and the like.
*transporter closets
*internal anti prior sonic devices, implanted in to the ship, always on. This prevents prior from opperating on board our ships.


Sevice Histroy and Background:
The Leviathon class ship is the first earth ship to be designed entire from the work done in the Pegasus galaxy.
The Orion, the first battle cruiser of the ancient to under possesion by our kind was immediatly studied, for some time the sceintist on atlantis had worked on upgraded, or more accuratly interfacing asgard and alteran technologies. the first success came when the asgard interface thier shield emitors with those on the orion, this created the best shield either race had yet came up with and will now be used by both the asgard and human races.

After the success of combining shield technolgy another system was goign to be studied, the energy cannons from the hive ships, a hive ship had recently been captured and studied by the atlnatis expedition and they had retroengineed the main artillary cannon on the ship, thus giving earth its first energy weapon from the wraith.

These two technolgical improvements would end the current deadalus class production line. A new class of ships was commissioned, to be built in the Pegasus galaxy at the site of a new land base on Lantia, the Leviathon, the mythic gaurdian, was heralded as the protector and savior of the Pegasus galaxy from the wraith, and of earth from the ori. Armed with supperior sheilds to any that have came before it, faster than any of our craft have ever been and in command of the latest and most powerfull weaponry we have this ship has been used to strike back at the wraith for its first time and won, the forth siege of atlantis ended with this craft, the deadalus and the orion holding back a combined fleet of 14 hive ships, these three ships taking down 9 of them before an asgard oniel class came in and destroy the other 5 ships in orbit. commanders are confindent this ship will turn the tide in the war with the wraith and are putting all thier work with the deadalus in to the new Leviathon class ship.

Ok there it is, my first ship in months. I have no images but just think of the deadalus with the traditional |-| asgard engines between two new triple layered hanger bays. - alot liek the Rail'k image on the last page.

I like, got a good back story and its belivable. the only thing is 1 generator 4 each gun? seems a bit excesive to me cos they dont grow on trees but hey its ur design it all just depends on how long they take and cos to build. I like the design tho and the back story. i think im probably gunna design a ship with more story than pictures soon as it takes time to draw

[immhotep]

well seeings that thier is currently only 4 main railguns on the deadalus class, an addtional 32 guns would be a massive power drain, if they had thier own power source it would mean less of a drain and more power to divert to shields. also the other rail guns all 288 of them would not be a massive drain, as they all have self contained pwoersources. they are like the Siege versions.

[freyr's mother]

Can someone whip up a design for this *cough* cooky because your designs kick serious @$$:

Anyone who is interested, i've noticed that people on this thread are really good at designing ships with some different programs. Is it possible that someone could design a ship for me with the following specifications:

A large carrier, bulky, with three decks.

Deck One (the lowest one): will be able to house 120 F-302's with VTOL capabilities. There is a lift in the middle of this deck that will be able to raise any F-302 to the second deck for repairs. This means there is a door directly above the lift leading to the second deck. The space all decks will occupy will be equal to the entire surface area of the carrier. There will be four entrances/exits, one at each corner of the ship. There will be enough space for two F-302s to take off simultaneously from the same exit. Each exit has a fighter bay shield and a door for backup.

The take off and landing area should take up approximately the length of the carrier and end at another entrance/exit. There will be a wall separating the length of this in half. This wall runs a little bit into the fighter holding area. Where the wall ends there are two doors with each leading to a take off area.


Top Deck: The deck will have two doors, one which leads to the middle/repair deck and one which the ships will use to enter space. This door will have an anti-decompression shield and a door. This deck's door run will lengthwise through the top of the deck to provide space for a runway should any ship need an emergency landing. The third deck will house X number of teltaks, y number of Alkesh and/or Z number of puddlejumpers.

Okay now that that is taken care of,

SPECS:
- 10 sub-light engines
- Asgard intergalactic hyperdrive ( The ones they have on their ships not the crappy ones they give us)

- Ancient shields (salvaged from the Atlantis city ship found in the tower
but powered by an asgard device of similar power output) The shield is able to withstand barrages of up to 30 minutes because the fighters/other ships

- Asgard Communications array
- Asgard transport beam + multiple sensor arrays throughout the ships hull
- Naquadah, Carbon Trinium, Neutronium hull

The hull has a neck/head like the Daedalus class ships and house missile silos, 75 total. There are different kinds, ranging from heat/energy seeking missiles and Mark IV's to Mark VIII's. The hull/neck houses, the control room, bridge, crew accomodations, briefing rooms, navigation controls and other stuff.


Defense procedure:
- 22 Railgun emplacements
- Nuke Beaming
- 48 Mark 9 Naquadriah Enhanced Nuclear warheads


The Mark IX's purpose is for specifically being beamed outside of an enemy ship who has alreadly launched it's fighers, like a figher mop up. It will do this only if there are way too many fighers out there to deal with. After this, the Carrier launches its fighers/ship to take out anything left.

SAM missiles are for specifically taking out ships the size of Wraith Cruisers or alkesh.

The Mark IV's - Mark VIII's are tactical nukes for defense against ships, and land based fortifications and emplacements.

The carrier can carry an assult force of 200 marines. and 30 M1 Abrams Tanks to be deployed by beams. The tanks are stored in a separate cargo bay from the one the fighers are stored in.

Please provide weapons layout, shape, size and labels of things.

Thanks,

at some point in the future, near future i might need some help with a Genesis project, and if anyone who has good modelling skills would like to help design a ship it would be really reallt sweet, if your interested then add me on MSN or PM me. Cant post the design up cos its top secret for the mo but..yeah id love a model but im totally devoid of artistic skills.

History of the Utopia class

On the same drawing board as the X-401, the FRX-402 (Frigate prototype) is a fast manouvable craft. Since we only know of beam weapons on the ori ships, hitting a moving target is harder. Which is why the hangar bays are underneath not along side the main body to maximise manouvability.
A couple of FRXs when built maybe sent to atlantis to help with the wraith, but thats still in the air. Unlike it's big sister, the Utopia doesn't need a zpm and 4 mark IXs, instead it'll run easily on 2 Mark VIIIs.
The hydrogen-fusion particle cannons only need 1 minute to recharge but on does 47% damage in comparasion to the naquadria-based one.
Again it uses tech from wraith material and is almost shaped like a dart at the front. Obviously no cloak in this one, since no zpm, but is made with RTT and stealth material plus active camoflague. But when the armour is activated the stealth material and camo come off.
It takes 8 months to build and the first ship to come off the production line is due mid-2007.
Damage to ori ships: 3%, 2 hits with the beam and severely damaged. But it's hitting it twice thats the problem.
So far the yanks and Brits are making 2 each.

Britain: Utopia and Ulysses finishing July and August 2007 respectively
America: Pegasus and Matriarch finishing end of August and early september 2007 respectively
