    Ok here's aother design for an Alesian fighter. This one's a really heavy hitter. unfortunately my research on Alesian history has ground to a halt due to limited access to their libraries. I should be able to get into them but it will take a lot of time.

    Twin-Dragon

    Type: Advanced Short Range fighter

    Technology Base: Alesian

    Dimensions

    Length: 8m

    Width: 10.2m

    Height: 2.4m

    Propulsion:
    4x Gravity Drives

    Power Source:
    3x Artificial Organic Cold-Fusion Reactors

    Weapons:
    2x Heavy Pulse Cannons

    Defenses:
    6" thick Trinium/Titanium Alloy armor

    Background:
    Built primarily as an interplanetary defense fighter for the Alesian colony worlds against any foes with advanced technology. It is unknown how to spell the name of the fighter but a rough translation is “Twin-Dragon” so named for it’s two heavy cannons.

      A. You are going to have major realativistic effects.

      B. And no one here thinks that lightspeed can be approached to that degree.
      well Im new to these forums as you can probably guess lol and I dont see why 99PSL isnt possible so could you please tell me why It isnt? thankyou.

      Spoiler:

      Carter?

      Sir, this is the 5th incoming wormhole in the last hour & a half

      Ok, I'm here 2 hours early, when did you get here?

      I... haven't left yet

      Carter, didn't I ORDER you to get a life?

        Ok my comments before are assuming that 99PSL means 99 percent light speed. From what I can tell of the whole theory on relativity 'time lag' starts to kick in some time after you hit the 50 percent light speed mark. The ships in the show at present are capable of going slightly over 50 percent so they aren't subject to the severe time-lag that is supposed to happen at those speeds.

        Someone else will have to explain it if that isn't enough.

          Ok anouther reason is that the faster you travel the heavier you become. This is a major problem. Ok so you have a spacecraft that has a weight of i dunno say 10000kg ok as you speed up the weight increases alittle as you reach say 50PSL you would way a huge amount, so 99psl would mean that you way nearly an infinate amount. Thats one problem

          Comment


            Well substainal time-lag doesn't occur until you get to 99.9, 99.99 etc etc.
            At 99 for every 1 second you see, in another frame it's 7 seconds.
            If the wikipedia value is correct at 95 PSL then the lorentz gamma factor (ratio between one frame reference and another) is about 3. So for every 1 second you time, someone else not travel with you times 3 seconds. Hardly notice able really, until you get to 99% and above.
            Watch what happens when you add a 9 after the decimal point.

            98 = 5.03
            98.9 = 6.76
            99 = 7.02
            99.9 = 22.3
            99.99 = 70.7
            99.999 = 223.6
            99.9999 = 707.1

              What better a starship than a gaint spherical ship around a star as it engein I know its fanwank but i couldnt help myself

                That would be a Dyson Sphere. It was done in Star Trek, though it wasn't mobile. It would take more material than a dozen star systems to build though. If it was built around a sun-like star, it would have a diameter of around 100 million miles.

                  I said it was a fanwank

                      Good job, the Germans would build something like that.

                        Thank you. I'll Be putting up other angles of the ship in the next few days along with an updated version of my old Carter carrier design.

                        Edit: Since no one else has posted I'll just put these pictures and specs in this post.

                        Here are all of the angles of the Paradigm class that I have. Sorry I'm not very good at surface texture.
                        Spoiler:

                        This is my redo of the Carter class carrier. I've modified the pictures size to make it able to be compared size wise with the tegalus and the Paradigm, I'm planning on doing this to all of my ships.

                          My ship has been delayed because my Internet Explorer keeps crashing. So expect to see it in 1 month.

                            That's ok I can wait. What does everyone think of my renovations to my Carrier design? And also what is everyones reaction to the other angles of the Paradigm design?

                              Good job on the ships. I don't think I saw the first pictures of the carrier, but there's something about the current version that I like. I think it's awesome.

                              As for the Paradigm, good job doing all the other views. The section on the top is a little weird, but it's a good drawing. Do you have a backstory on how the Germans got a ship?

                              Oh..and did you make pictures for the Tegalus? If so..where could I find those? o_o

                                Okay..so I finally had enough time to make something today. Yeah..so I made this ship for some alien race I came up with. It's kinda shaped like a saucer to tie in with that flying saucer stuff. Anyway..here's my lame saucer thinger.
