Original Starship Design Thread

[Cmdr. Setsuna F. Seyei]

Still looks too blocky and needs some more detail. its a good basic design but it needs more. take a look at the designs posted in the modeling challenge thread and i am sure you will get the idea if not some ideas on how to improve it.

P.S. what program do you use to model with @Stargate Millenium?

[StargateMillennium]

This better?

Hey PH you still active here? need some help with one of my designs.
If you are hit me up.

[Cmdr. Setsuna F. Seyei]

@ Stargate Millenium it looks too boxy needs more detail

[StargateMillennium]

Hmmm...there's something about the overall design I don't like.

Hey guys I need some help.

I'm moving and want to 3D print some stargate models. I have some of my old shops that I might print but what I really need is Deadalus in really high res in .lwo

I created the modelling pack years ago and its got some of the things I want but not everything. If anyone can help it would be a big help.

This thread is looking pretty dead these days... I wouldn't have expected that. In any case I have a ship design that I wanted to share:




In case it isn't obvious, it's supposed to be some sort of Ancient/Alteran battleship. I designed it back in October and then forgot about it until a few days ago. It's technically unfinished and I was going to put the finishing touches on it today, but the computer that I'm using now is too slow, though it's more than 90% done.

I did have a backstory written up to go along with it but I think I deleted the file at some point. All I remember is that it was supposed to be the ship that formed the backbone of the Ancient fleet before the division between the Alterans and Ori emerged.

I also designed a drone that the ship is supposed to carry a bunch of, and which is also supposed to be an early precursor to the iconic yellow drones:



I've uploaded both models to the sketchup 3d warehouse in case anyone who see's this post wants to play around with them:

Very good designs. I think the early drone is a great idea, Id actually say its more likely to be a fighter, rathern than early drone though. And could have been the precursor to the dart designs, as they are not like a PJ. Really like the cruiser design, could actually be the science vessel mentioned in Echoes.

And yes this forum is DEAD :'(

the entire forum is pretty dead.

Nice ship though, it has a strange destiny/lantean design mix that i like.

Note- While I drew my inspiration for the brainship from Anne McCaffery's Brain and Brawn series, the Asgard are seen to do something similar in canon.

I think the ship is stronger than it needs to be. I think one would design a barebones structure that mines asteroids and pre-processes the ores. Most of these functions could be done by robots, with general control by a small human team (maybe 20-30) who oversee the mining and planning.

With the cost reductions by losing a ton of advanced technology, you could field many more of these ships. Specifically, by using FTL tow drones you could go to a star system, collect the naquahdah asteroids and put them in some convenient location (e.g. in orbit of an Alpha site) and get the resources through the Gate.


but the idea is good.

[tau'ri_cartel]

I designed this ship to fill a niche that I haven't encountered before. Also it's my first post on this site so honest reviews are appreciated.

NC-101 Hephaestus-class resource ship

Description- A ship designed solely for resource discovery, gathering, refining and transportation. As such it is not armed relying on it speed and shield to escape attackers.

Length-500 meters

Depth/height-200 meters

Width-250 meters

Hull is a titanium/trinium/naquadah alloy

Technology- Tau'ri built tech including inertial dampeners, shield generators, sensors, naquadah reactors, naquadria based boost reactor, subspace communication suite, refinery, ion engines, mining drones, stasis pod with built in neural interface, asgard beaming tech and an Asgard hyperdrive.



Compliment- 8 Tel'tak sized asteroid tugs (non FTL)



History- After the Odyssey returned to earth with the Asgard core the IOA, in a rare moment of brilliance, realized that to utilize any of this knowledge they needed resources- more resources than they could currently provide without significantly expanding their off world holdings. As such a large redirection of manpower would be noticed by the rest of the world resulting in disclosure(and them not wanting to give up their power) they commissioned area 51 to design ship capable of gathering, refining and transporting large amounts of rare(on earth) resources. What they designed was a Von Neumann probe/ship. When Samantha Carter heard of this she, not wanting a repeat of the replicators, altered the design to function more like a brainship from a book she had previously read. Her redesign was accepted and construction soon began. The result was the Hephaestus class resource ship. a ship designed to take a terminally ill volunteer and place their body in stasis while linking their consciousness to the ships mainframe where they could assume control. They would remain in this state until a solution was discovered to their disease or they requested to be removed or were for some reason found unfit.


Note- While I drew my inspiration for the brainship from Anne McCaffery's Brain and Brawn series, the Asgard are seen to do something similar in canon.

-Internal Transporter Beam Jammer Array
-Secure places such as the CIC (Located at the center of the vessel) have independent life support systems and are surrounded by a two layer armour cocoon with shielding in between, and a set of armoured blast doors on the entry. Such places also lack a nearby transporter requiring one to take multiple ladders in between levels and to navigate a long hallway with multiple heavily reinforced blast doors to gain entry. Completely cut off from all nearby transporters with two sets of blast doors and thicker than normal bulkheads two level up and two level down from CIC. Blast doors also cover each ladder with a multitude of traps within the corridors, as well as a large contingent of marines. Similar security measure taken around all airlocks and, and hangar bays isolating them from the rest of the ship. Hangers and airlocks are guarded by a long hallway, half a dozen thick blast doors with security shields and heavily armed and armoured marines. Damage control is protected in a similar manner.

Support Craft:
Hanger is defended by a set of cannons built around the sides of the hanger doors.
-Four Light Cargo Transports
-Sixteen Tauri Jumper Variants
-Two Patrol/ Boarding Craft aka corvetes
Docking Hatches for intership transport or docking to space stations. Designed to be reconfigurable to allow different races to dock to it, as well as provide power.

**Tauri Drones mount an internal power system that allows them to continue going even after the ships destruction. Can communicate and coordinate with alteran drone weapons. They also come equipped with a sophisticated ECM and Counter ECM package, phase shifting, and shielding for better survivability. Each has a highly sensitive passive radar, infrared, visible light, and ultraviolet light sensor package in addition to active subspace, radar, and lidar targeting sensors. Can use subspace sensors to scan for shield and structural weak points in a targeted vessel. Also has standard IFF transceiver system, and AI targeting software. Vectored Gravitic Ion Drive allows for rapid accelerations and decelerations as well as maneuvering. Can outpace most ships and fighters. It is slightly larger than a alteran drone due to bulkier systems, and more varied systems. Due to lack of squid like propulsion system, it can still fit in a alterran drones storage slot in within an Alteran Drone Launcher.
Each missile carries eight small decoys that mimic the missiles energy signature and also project a hologram to fool visible sensors. This further enhances its survival rate against enemy vessels point defenses.
Can be equipped with naquadria or naquadah enhanced fusion or fission warheads as well as casaba howitzer shells, or extended ECM packages that expand the survivability if other missiles against an enemy vessel. Software allows for extended ballistic paths to extend range of missiles.

Back Story
Designed initially to counter both Ori Battleships, and Wraith Super Hives, they are, according to some, vastly overpowered. Even so they were quickly given the green light after the realization that the replications within the Andromeda Galaxy were still potential threats, and that Earth's survival against the super hive and Ori vessels was mainly due to outside help, most of which is no longer available due to the untimely demise of the Asgard. Even with their legacy military advisors noticed a long habit of depending on outside help and pure dumb luck to survive. Their suggestions eventually led to a research project led by some of Earths brightest scientists after disclosure, leading to the First true Tauri battleship's and the even mightier dreadnought.
Much of the design was admittedly based off alteran designs discovered deep within the Atlantis database, but redesigned and modified from a far more military mindset. Even though the construction was filled with delays, the engineers and shipbuilders based on the moon eventually managed to construct three warships that were to be put through rigorous testing before launch. Due to the actions of various parties on earth though, two of them were destroyed along with the shipyard they were constructed at. The final finished warship meanwhile was forced to flee along with a handful of 304s, a mobile shipyard not big enough to dock a dreadnought, a single Aurora class vessel and the heavily modified Atlantis. Eventually several ancient outposts and cities were discovered after fleeing the milky way galaxy, leading the earth refugees to join forces with the remnants of the Lantean military, and a large number of young Alterans and Refugees that had been evacuated in the later days of the wraith war.

Could I get some constructive criticism on the design?
