Original Starship Design Thread

Because it supposedly is faster and more efficient than normal circutry. Also because it sounds cool and we in RL have no clue how to master it.

Just makes no sense for a less advanced race to improve upon a technology not understood properly and un replicatable in the case of the Tau'ri to then add anouther un-understod technology to that already advanced tech.

I said we in RL(Real Life) do not understand it, in this fictional universe we have master interstellar travel so something as small as mapping the neural patterns of man and artificially replicating them is well within possibilities.

Here are a few shots of my recent attempt at a model for that spec sheet that immhotep gave me, it is a few meters longer than the spec sheet indicates but other than that the guns are the only thing that make it wider.

Also I have no clear cockpit yet but it should be there, somewhere.

Technical and Historical Notes:
The Karn Sphere was built as their home world sometime in the last two million years. The sphere is smaller in size than the earth, but still having the ability to carry billions upon billions of habitants. Designed to hold the habitants in the sphere itself it creates sustainable environments including; vegetation, swamps, forests and more using a specially built environmental bio-sphere system. This allows the sphere to become pretty much self-sustaining.

The Sphere utilises an unstable quantum fission reactor to power and sustain the sphere located in the core. The reactor generates a vast amount of energy, which radiates large amounts of potentially dangerous radiation along with a lot of subspace radiation, though most of the harmful radiation is absorbed by the casing around the reactor.

The release of subspace radiation causes the sphere to light up like a Christmas tree light in a pitch black room on any sensors, even at minimal power, due to this the Sphere has some very outstanding defences.

These defences include a hyperspace marco scrambler barrier which causes any ships which are in hyperspace that enter the barrier to change course and destination meaning that no ships unless specifically fitted can hyperspace towards the Sphere, but the most remarkable achievement is the ship disrupter barrier. This barrier causes any ship not made by the Karn to shutdown if having entered the barrier. Where the Sphere then beams the ship or ships in question to a designated area, preferably the most dangerous.

The Sphere has the ability to travel in hyperspace using its two stardrives for propulsion across space, and using a quantum matrix generator the Sphere can travel the vast distance between galaxies in mere hours instead of months.

Inside the sphere there are six separate bio-spheres connected by specially designed transporters. Each bio-sphere is capable of housing over two billion habitants.

The bio-spheres contain everything required to allow the Karn to sustain themselves, specially designed systems maintain a habitable environment containing vegetation, live stock and areas for living and recreation. The bio-spheres are each capable of shielding against enemy fire in case of a breach of the outer hull, and the bio-sphere are also capable of space travel in case of an evacuation.

The internal structure of the Karn Sphere is set to the vacuum of space to minimise the risk of destruction to the rest of the colony.

wow, Death Star v1.337

lots of cool defenses tho would love to see a model of this

no model for a day or two.

[boberth2o]

ok, in the rail department I was thinking something like an upside down 'T' on the bottom of the gun, like this

Spoiler:

And here is another view

Anyhting?

[ZakeD]

Anyhting?

Did you make that in blender?

[boberth2o]

Did you make that in blender?

yeah, I don't like the why the cannon part rendered though.

[Daryl Froggy]

Does anyone know if you can semi-"glue" several objects to a track? I want to try and make a curving track for my I/CP gun and I wanted to make it work fairly easily for anyone who wanted to use the model.

[ManiacMike]

Been working on some side fluff.

Why not put a moving part of the track so when the gun gets to the corner of the ship, the piece moves 90 degrees to the direction of the next track

What the thing in Asia?

[ManiacMike]

What the thing in Asia?

ummm...great wall of china?? I dunno, it was from a map photo of the world I compositied.

[immhotep]

The Himmalaya mountain range...Everest, K2..the biggie.

Yeah, how? I don't know how to make something like that in sketch-up or if it is even possible.
