Original Starship Design Thread

[Aroura-Gate]

Heres the front of the Valor and if any bod can come up witha back story for the ship that would be very helpful

[Daryl Froggy]

Nice front view. Why do you put so much red on your ships?

Anyway here's my picture of the Charon class heavy cruiser, it is still under construction so please tell me what if anything is off.

Spoiler:

[Aroura-Gate]

its a color codeing system the bright red is weapons the dark read is engiens

[Daryl Froggy]

Ah that explains that.

[ZakeD]

Good job on the Valor. Gonna do a top view too?

Nice job. Cool engines. Saw a few mistakes though. Where is the bridge at?

The bridge is either going to be somewhere at the top of the curved edge at the front of the ship or buried deep within the superstructure.

What other mistakes were there. and I havn't gotten around to putting windows on so don't say that.

[ZakeD]

I wasn't saying the bridge thing wasn't a mistake. Just something I was curious about. The front view and back view weren't completely accurate when compared to the top and side. I'll make a picture real quick to show what I mean..

Alright you do that because I still don't see why they don't match up.

So..yeah.

And here's what I think it should look like..

xD Sorry if I'm being annoying.

[Daryl Froggy]

Ok you're right about the "wing" thing not matching up with the back end but your correction was in error I think.

You were also right about the thing you colored orange. and since I really don't need it I'll get rid of it.

Also the front part of the ship not being alligned with the aft part of the ship is a goof and I'll fix it.

P.S. what did you think of my gun emplacement designs?

[ZakeD]

what did you think of my gun emplacement designs?

Better then mine. I don't usually pay attention to guns though.

[Aroura-Gate]

Heres the top of the valor

[Aroura-Gate]

Im starting the new back story for the Valor its the capital ship of all battle groups escorted by Egale class gun ships (will be up soon) and two deadlus class ships

[Daryl Froggy]

Ok in the spoiler tags below is a large size comparison of several of my ships. Most of them are recent. What do you think?

Spoiler:

Here is my update of the shinobi's spec sheet.

Spoiler:

Name: Shinobi

Type: first generation Chinese short range anti-fighter gunship

Technology Base: Goa'uld/Earth

Dimensions:
Length: 27.4m
Width: 16.7m
Height: 5.8m

Displacement: 695 tons (1 gee environment)

Propulsion: Earth adaptation of the drive on Ha’taks and Death Gliders gravity propulsion

Weapons:
7x point defense coil guns

Defenses:
Trinium/titanium alloy outer hull and superstructure.
An energy shield based closely off of an Al’kesh’s shield.
Goa’uld cloaking device based off of a Tel’tak’s.

Ships of the Line:
Shinobi
Tianlong
Yinglong
(several hundred more are being built)

Background:
Developed as a first step in China’s space fleet it doesn’t possess the hyperspace capabilities that the Asgard backed U.S. ships have. Thus its primary mission is to escort carriers from one place to another. The Chinese government is pressuring the US government to allow them access to the greater power sources and improved hyperspace generators so that they will be able to build carriers so that the Shinobi-class can do what it was designed to do.

The three ships that they are presently using usually patrol the solar system checking for any intruders into Earths “perimeter.” Though being limited to point defense cannons and no missiles does make it hard for it to take on threats larger than a Tel’tak without help from another ship.

And the Charon's spec sheet.

Spoiler:

Charon

Type: Deep Space Heavy Cruiser

Technology Base: Alesian/Earth

Crew

201

Dimensions

Length: 396m
Width: 89m
Height: 50m

Propulsion

2x Alesian Ion Drive Arrays
4x Hyperspace flash–drives
Gravity wave generators

Weapons

16x Pulse Guns (a particle weapon)

Defenses

Hull: Trinium/titanium alloy with interwoven ceramic polymer lattice
Alesian Energy shield

Ships of the Line

Charon
(There are many more planned)

Background

The Charon was designed a year after the initial contact between Earth and the Alesian Interstellar Nation. It uses the ceramic polymer lattice that had been recently developed by Earth’s Area 51 for ship hulls and the trinium/titanium alloy also meant for ship hulls. These were traded for in exchange for Pulse Guns and advanced mathematical and scientific information.

The fourth ship of the Charon class is going to be a gift to the people of Earth from the AIN.

These are my ships I made based on the Stargate TV series. I've also made up descriptions of them with some ideas I have had for the stargate shows. I made up some stuff about the canon ships also. The second pic is of my ships but done to look like the ships display screens. Hope you like them.

F-302 “Mongoose” Fighter

Weapons- 30mm cannons, Naquahdah-enhanced Missiles
Defenses- Trinium hull
Engines- Standard thrusters, Booster rocket, Goa’uld-inspired interstellar hyperdrive engine.
Power- Naquadria

Designed to be an answer to the Goa'uld death glider. A completely human-built, space-worthy intercept fighter jet which has the capability of interstellar travel via a hyperspace window. The F-302 is the operational designation for the X-302; (replacing the failed X-301 prototype) the 302's hyperdrive engine currently does not work as intended, due to instability caused by the Naquahdriah. The hyperdrive is only capable of short-range tactical jumps. The pilots that fly the 302 have nicknamed the ship the Mongoose, because of being developed mainly to fight the Goa’uld which are snake like creatures and mongoose are known for fighting and killing snakes. Production of the 302 will cease with the introduction of the 302A.

F-302A “Super Mongoose” Fighter

Weapons- 30mm cannons, Ion pulse cannons, Naquadria-enhanced Missiles
Defenses- Trinium hull, Ancient-inspired shields, Cloaking device
Engines- Asgard-inspired intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- Naquadria

Though the original F-302 was a capable fighter. It was decided to build a new more advanced model with several upgrades from new technologies discovered in the Pegasus Galaxy. The new version given the designation F-302A is 25% larger and equipped with the new Ion pulse cannons derived from several different reverse engineered directed energy weapons (Goa’uld, Tollan, and Wraith) and Ancient-inspired shields that can also be adjusted to cloak the ships. Improvements in the hyperdrive that make it fully functional and capable of normal hyperspace travel.

BC-303 Prometheus Battlecruiser

Weapons- Rail guns, Naquahdah-enhanced Nuclear Missile
Defenses- Trinium hull, Asgard-designed shields
Engines- Asgard-designed intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- Naquadria
Other Equipment- Transport rings, Asgard-designed beaming technology, 8 (F-302)

Earth's first large-scale vessel capable of interstellar travel. It was developed under the designation X-303, named the Prometheus after its maiden flight and given the upgraded designation of BC-303 after it proved its capabilities The ship acted as Earth's first line of defense against alien space attacks, but was also used for exploration and humanitarian purposes. The vessel was equipped with hyperspace engines, and could also operate in a planet's atmosphere and land on the surface. The ship accommodated eight F-302 fighter craft, which could be deployed and received through a launch bay even when the ship was in flight. It was intended to serve as the prototype for a new fleet of space-faring vessels, but had already been rendered obsolete and succeeded by the next-generation Daedalus-class battlecruiser. The Prometheus was destroyed while in attempting to destroy an Ori designed satellite weapon. Out of the 115 crewmembers on board during the mission, only 76 survived.

BC-304 Daedalus-class Battlecruiser

Weapons- Rail guns, Naquahdah-enhanced Nuclear Missile
Defenses- Trinium hull, Asgard-designed shields
Engines- Asgard-designed intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- Naquadria
Other Equipment- Transport rings, Asgard-designed beaming technology, 16 (F-302)

The BC-304 is the second-generation line of Earth's battlecruisers, The Prometheus general design was that of a battlecruiser, a defensive/offensive craft designed to provide fire support in a space combat situation. The Daedalus-class however, is designed more as a multi-role carrier/battlecruiser, carrying 16 F-302 space-fighters as well as the capability for over 400 soldiers. The advantage which the Daedalus has over the Prometheus, however, is that it was built with all of the advanced technology which the Prometheus now possesses, and never had to go through the several retrofits (mostly done by the Asgard as thank you gifts) to obtain the same level of sophistication. Currently three Daedalus class ships have been constructed the Daedalus, the Odyssey, and the Korolev. The Korolev was however destroyed in battle with the Ori shortly after it was launched only six members of her crew survived.

F/A-305 “Rhino” Fighter/Bomber

Weapons- 30mm cannons, Ion pulse cannons, Plasma bombs, Naquadria-enhanced Missiles
Defenses- Trinium hull, Ancient-inspired shields, Cloaking device
Engines- Asgard-inspired intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- Naquadria
Other Equipment- Wraith-inspired culling beams

The F/A-305 was designed in conjunction with the F-302A. The 302A created as an air-to-air interceptor fighter. The 305 as an air-to-ground bomber fighter. Given the same armaments as the 302A as well as Plasma bombs that are derived from the Al’kesh plasma charges plus two Naquadria-enhanced Nuclear Missiles can be equipped if the need should arise. The ship is also equipped with Wraith-inspired culling beams designed to transport troops into combat situations. Unlike the Wraith Darts the 305 does not cause the beamed personal to lose consciousness when re-materialized. Much like the 302 was nicknamed the Mongoose the 305 has been nicknamed the Rhino by the pilots, because of a rhinoceros reputation for putting out fires, and the Ori are represented by fire when they appear to their followers.

T-306 “Gateship” Transport

Weapons- Ion pulse cannons
Defenses- Trinium hull, Ancient-inspired shields, Cloaking device
Engines- Sub-light engines
Power- Naquadria
Other Equipment- Asgard-designed beaming technology

Inspired by the Atlantis Puddle Jumpers it was decided to build the T-306, a small transport ship capable of fairing personnel short distances as well as travel through the Stargate. Unlike the puddle jumpers, gateships do not have an on board DHD’s however a retractable arm can be used to dial the gate using its own DHD if the environment is not hospitable to leave the safety of the ship. Not designed for heavy combat or long-range space travel, but does have strong shields with cloaking ability.

CB-307 “Gopher” Cargo Bomber

Weapons- Ion pulse cannons, Plasma bombs
Defenses- Trinium hull, Ancient-inspired shields, Cloaking device
Engines- Asgard-inspired intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- Naquadria
Other Equipment- Asgard-designed beaming technology

While the 306 was being developed it was originally going to be given hyperspace capability, but it was decided that a ship capable of gate travel would not need hyperdrive engines, so another larger hyperspace capable cargo ship was designed. Equipped with Ion pulse cannons and plasma bombs as well as Ancients shields and cloak. The 307 has become known as the Gopher by the crews that fly it.

BC-308 Kratos-class Battlecruiser

Weapons- Rail guns, Ion pulse cannons, Naquadria-enhanced Nuclear Missiles
Defenses- Trinium hull, Ancient-inspired shields, Cloaking device
Engines- Asgard-inspired intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- ZPM, Naquadria
Other Equipment- Transport rings, Asgard-designed beaming technology, 3 (T-306)

Though the Daedalus-class proved itself capable platform the problem that became obvious was that retrieving and rearming fighters while in battle becomes almost impossible. The solution to this was to design two new classes of ships one to be a fighter and the other to be a carrier. The battlecruiser designated BC-308 Kratos-class. Besides lacking the fighter launch bays the biggest difference to the Daedalus-class is the inclusion of the newly developed ZPM built with current earth level technology they only hold a third of the total power and are also several dozen times larger then the Ancient ZPMs. Because of difficulty in construction use of the ZPM is to be restricted to heavy combat and other extreme emerges. All large scale vessels will be equipped with at least one ZPM more could be added depending on the individual ships mission profile. Though the fighter bays have been removed the Kratos-class still has 3 T-306s on board and large cargo carrying capability. With its strong offenses and defenses the 308 is poised to become the backbone of the Earth space fleet.

CV-309 Nike-class Carrier

Weapons- Rail guns, Ion pulse cannons
Defenses- Trinium hull, Ancient-inspired shields, Cloaking device
Engines- Asgard-inspired intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- ZPM, Naquadria
Other Equipment- Transport rings, Asgard-designed beaming technology, 24 (F-302A),
16 (F/A-305), 4 (T-306), 4 (CB-307)

Designed and built at the same time as the Kratos-class battlecruiser, The 309 constructed not to enter battle itself but to carry fighters and other support craft into combat. The ideal situation would be for the Nike to arrive near the battle area and remain a safe distance away from the action, deploy its fighters, cloak itself, and wait for its fighters to return for rearmament or evacuation. With Ancient-inspired shields the Nike defenses are the best earth technology has to offer. The ships offense capabilities are limited to Rail guns and Ion pulse cannons, but her true offense resides with her complement of fighters.

DD-310 Nemesis-class Destroyer

Weapons- Ion pulse cannons, Naquadria-enhanced Nuclear Missiles
Defenses- Trinium hull, Ancient-inspired shields, Cloaking device
Engines- Asgard-inspired intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- ZPM, Naquadria
Other Equipment- Transport rings, Asgard-designed beaming technology

The arrival of the Nemesis-class Destroyer does not mean the Kratos-class battlecruiser cease production. The Kratos became the main ship of the line of earth’s battle fleet it is still a fairly large ship and takes same time to produce. The decision to construct a smaller more easily built vessel to supplement the Kratos in the fleet. The Nemesis has almost the same armaments as the Kratos the main reduction of size coming from removing the cargo carrying capabilities and other none essential equipment from the Nemesis.

BB-311 Olympus-class Battleship

Weapons- Ori-based super cannon and pulse cannons, Naquadria-enhanced Nuclear Missiles,
Defenses- Trinium hull, Ancient-inspired shields, Cloaking device
Engines- Asgard-inspired intergalactic hyperdrive engine, Sub-light engines
Power- ZPM, Naquadria
Other Equipment- Stargate, Transport rings, Asgard-designed beaming technology, 8 (F-302A),
8 (F/A-305), 6 (T-306), 3 (CB-307)

The X-311 was not planned on being developed for several years, but the capture and reverse engineering of an Ori battleships super cannon demanded a ship with a significantly larger platform to house the size of the weapon. The 311 also equipped with Ori-based pulse cannons (that will replace the ion pulse cannons as the standard weapon on board all future ships built) and a small complement of fighters and other support craft; another unique feature of the Olympus-class is that it has its own Stargate on board. When the 311 comes into service the earth’s defense fleet will be formidable force in the galaxy capable of standing up to any threat.
