Original Starship Design Thread

[Princess Awinita]

I'm currently working on a Earth/Furling made Battle Cruiser, I see Furlings as tall feline like people with the same tech level as the Ancients(and a heck of a lot more ZedPMs laying around, Rodney would go NUTS in the Furlings Galaxy with all the ZedPMs just laying around not being used at all)

The Battle Cruiser is actually in a Fanfic I'm working on for Atlantis, it is called, Wraith's Bane and I should have the tech specs(for both the Battle Cruiser and the fighters) up soon, though at the rate I'm working on the fanfic it might be a while.

NOTE: the Battle Cruiser is a Daedalus Class II prototype, the fighters it carries are of Furling design

[Daryl Froggy]

No offense but the Furling's technology isn't anywhere near the same as the Ancient's technology. We don't at present even have a way of interfacing with it.

Also I find it very doubtful that the Furlings have ZPM's at all. Perhaps an equivalent power source but probably not the ZPM's we all know and love, though hate the scarcity of.

[Princess Awinita]

Well, in both imaginenation and a altrnate universe anything can happen my good friend, no offese taken, after all, this is a altarnate universe fanfic I'm working on that the ship is in, so anything goes.

Sure we have yet to even SEE the Furlings in person yet(which is why I'm bummed that SG-1 is over at the end of this season) so lets just remember that this is all AU for the time being(because it actually is) I'm just using my imagenination for what the ship would look like in a AU setting.(hey its a fanfic anything goes) *goes back to work on the ship and fic*

History:

Spoiler:

The X-308 Artemis was completed on the eve of the Battle for Earth, the day when wraith found their way here. Human fleet was suffering heavy losses before Artemis arrived from off world colony fully armed and ready for action. The Wraith hives turned all their attention on her and opened fire. Her cutting edge Asgard shields, equipped with some properties of atlantis shield solidity, withstood the bombardment well without serious damage. Her powerful sublight drives allowed the ship to evade some of the hive main weapon blasts. Quickly opening fire from her both beam weapons she managed to cut through several hiveships with few well placed shots. Despite of her advanced technology and careful planning, some critical weapon error caused her main weapons to overload and rendered the ship almost useless against the hives. While still enflicting heavy losses to wraith darts and cruisers her shields went down eventually and the ship was destroyed.

Despite the loss of the ship, the I.O.A was convinced enough to order full scale production of X-308, changing it's class to F-308 Artemis. With her technology perfected, the ship was one of the most powerful ships in fleet.

Ok you have officially blown me away. You get green, id love an expanded history and id love to see more videos, that one was really cool and the model is great.

[Semmer]

Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it!

I'm working with the surface materials atm. Despite my best efforts, I can't make the materials to look as I want them to look. If you're seen SGA3D's Daedalus model, I'm trying to create surface material reflection similar to that, but it needs a lot of work still..

I'll try to make up some history when I have time. I still don't have an idea where to start!

[immhotep]

Does anyone know where a great load of materials for scetchup or good materials (spacey ones are?) so i can use them, ive been using the standard ones and a few zake gave me for along time but to render nicely i need better materials.

Finally got around to starting a fighter for my growing fleet.

Looking good RJB!



As to reply to several previous posts, I've been working on several new videos and also improving my models, while still creating a few. But this next week is not very computer friendly.. thunderstorms all week... so no videos coming too soon..

But I'd need your opinion about this railgun, which I intend to use as a PD railgun on all my designs

[ManiacMike]

RJB, excellent ship there. It reminds me of a pterodactyl for some reason.

Semmer, I like your gun designs. To me, that type of gun would fire batteries of explosives. Not so much a railgun, but more like a cannon version of a rail gun. I like the layout of it, but on the main barrel (holding the 2 tubes, seems like it needs something on it.)

[turbo1889]

. . . . Semmer, I like your gun designs. To me, that type of gun would fire batteries of explosives. Not so much a railgun, but more like a cannon version of a rail gun. . . .

They used something like that in WWII -- I think they called them flack rounds and they were designed to be used in heavy artillery cannons to take down high altitude bombers (what was high altitude then would be more like medium altititude today) basically the shells were usually around 3 to 6 inch caliber and the bullet was basically a fused gernade full of shrapnel, you didn't have to hit your target just be close. Sounds like a darn good idea for a capital ship to use for defense against small fighters.

[RJB]

Well I had some free time so I did a re-render of my hyperspace scene (since I re-textured the ship) and a simple scene of the USAF Excalibur hiding in a asteroid belt.
Enjoy.

Engines::
Three Earth made Naquadria powered sublight engines
Two ZedPM ractor Core engines(old ZedPM is used the core then feeds off what is left in the ZedPM and when the ZedPM reachs max usage it overloads and blows and gives a fully charged ZedPM worth of power for up to 20 hours)

Shields
Furling enhanced Cityship(Atlantis type) shields
Stolen Wraith Hive Ship shields are used as backup only.

Fighter Bays
Wraith's Bane has two fighter bays that open up from the front end of the ship only, each bay holds up to two full wings of Furling made F-310 fighters
(one wing = 24 fighters)I will have the fighters up soon

Other technology
Ring system through out the ship
Two Asgard Beaming systems(one for cargo only the other for people)
anti gravity generators
Cloaking systems

Short history
When McKay powered up Atlantis for the very first time with the ZedPM brought by the Daedalus in Seige III, a premade message was sent off to the Furling home galaxy, along with the plans to make the ship for Atlantis, Wraith's Bane. it has been just under two full years since McKay powered Atlantis with the ZedPM the first time, the Furlings traveled to Earth and alongside the Earth built Wraith's Bane on a deadline of one year and eleven months, they made it, and had put the final ZedPM in the storeroom when Atlantis arrived in Earth Orbit to pick up the ship.

The ship was then commanded by Sheppard to the Ori Home Galaxy, wherein with the massive firepower of the ship along with the shields gave the Atlantis team a fighting chance to save the Milky Way, holding their own against seven Ori warships, destroying them all. the ship was then taken to Pegasus and hidden on Lantica's mainland, the team hoped to only use the ship when attacked by the Wraith.....

[knowles2]

Well I thought I post this here. Just some models that I have started doing for horizon (non official at the moment)

Would like some suggestions on the Draque vessel.
