Gateworld Virtual Fleet 4.0 - Discussion thread

[Crazy Tom]

Ah, hope you do, I know what that's like.

I'm guessing it's the ratio of carbon to metal. More carbon makes the shell harder and more durable and less likely to deform under pressure, but it means less metal which results in less magnetic force generated. Naquadah's superconductive properties might help alleviate the problem since you might be able to exploit something like the Meissner effect. Shells would be pretty expensive though.

You would have to find some effeciant method of evacuating the waste, which makes it even more complex. Stick with the gatling gun for small calibres, even in the sci-fi world it's still an awesome piece


Now I have a rather sticky problem. Today is the last day of voting. I have spent a few days going over all your specs, all of them very worthy. Now family bonds tell me to vote for the old man, but as he will tell you I'm not that kind of guy. On the other hand his specs weigh up the best of all, with a couple of reservations. Yet if I cast my vote that way I'll get accused of bias and rigging the vote.

So here is my proposal, I abstain from voting and you use both ships, Killmans and PJ's one as your heavy hitter and the other as the escort work horse with AC and troop dispersal capability.

So where is the list of parts that I can use for my ship?

and I can make a submission right?

And when do I stop being a probie member?

Sorry for all of these questions I'm new here and this looks so much fun I love this kind of stuff

[puddlejumperOZ]

OK midnight GMT is only 18 hours away Last drinks..er votes please

And Ben just do whatever you think is right.

[jackclone1]

hey guys I am the new guy so I'm not sure how this works as the mods have to approve my messages I guess so I hope this gets through quickly but I vote for the valkyrie as I feel its the ship that best fits the roles of this fleet and I really like the weapon system is has where it uses plasma, rails guns and nukes according to the threat level based off of the con but the other ones are pretty well designed

What a freakin miracle, the guy turns up at the last minute with what 9 posts and he's read every bloody spec. Bullsh*t I guarantee his IP is in the Netheralnds And Killman if you're upset that PJ has friends, it's only because he knows how to respect others and not trash everybody's opinion unlike yourself.

[thekillman]

for some supid reason my keyoard quit on me so i use the digital on.

its not that he has friends, it's that his friends vote for him because of it. not all do though.
its just annoying to read things like 'i liked his fic ' or 'i liked that ship in his fic so this one must be good'
hell people proposed blindly copying his specs and model.

my finger hurts

a;lso i lurked aroiund the forum long before i signed up. just cause i make a habit out of replying to every topic in my interest doesnt mean he does. and there arev 8000000x more people in the netherlands thaan just loc and i

yes, but both of us are pretty good at posting at all the trheads of interest to us XD


Benoz, I think this is actually a good compromise too. Having two ship types as a cruiser we could do more things and one could supplement the other in terms of missiles and energy weapons.

[puddlejumperOZ]

Who copied my specs, that's copyrght And Rick, I'll tell you one last time, shut your big mouth son, it'll get you into all sorts of trouble. I only want fair appraisal for eveyone. And Killman, I only hope you're wrong about people voting for me because of me, i would ask them not to post in the same threads if that were the case.

[locutes]

PJ, I do not think anyone voted for you because you are you. You have good specs and deserve votes. Also I do not believe Killman actually posted any post like that but I can be mistaken, might have read over that post yesterday night.

[thekillman]

i'll begin on my gunship specs soon, and i'll re-check PJOZ's specs to see if there are any compromises and solutions

[locutes]

a simple compromise, two ships get in and both ships can be used in fleet actions

PJ, it has already happened and I quote, from the battleship round: "My vote goes to the Admiral, mostly because I'm more familar with his craft (we're using them too in our story together!), and personally I like the look of it as well." I also suspect that it's happened more than once. There's also the whole "who won the fighter arguement, that clearly was a draw, when you recount the votes"
I don't want to take away the fact it's close at the top, but something does strike me as suspiscious. There maybe nothing to it, but it's just strange that's all.

JackClone1 I am mine own person, I am not Killman, I am from America, Minnesota to narrow it down a little more, I have been looking at the thread for a little bit now as I love stargate and the ships that they have, never was really a fan of star trek or BSG but stargate was just right for me so that is why I thought this would be fun so I am sorry if I caused a problem, I asked if I could vote and if I can't just let me know so I don't burn any bridges and could someone please let me know what page the parts for ships is on so I can try to design one because I really want to get into this and I am sorry for being a probie member

[thekillman]

the main things i dislike about the heroine class:

-the name. heroine. you sniff heroine. and a class meant to kill, named after a person who saves lives?

-backup shield. IMO fishy.

-3 MkII reactors. why so much power?

-cost. shields alone cost multiple billions, this ship has two. how can it be so cheap? even the weakest shield costs 10 billion or so.

-neural interfaces. might aswel do an AI war while we're at it and remove all human components. pure realism is not preferable.

-seems to have a rather large AC force.

-no weaponsfigures of any kind, so there's no option for comparison with my craft. mine has a few big guns, this thing seems to have many small guns.


as a compromise i'd take off the AC's, use my ships as a missile cruiser and AC deployer (since AC's and missiles both keep enemy CIWS buisy, the survival chance for AC's increases. also mine's bigger)

then your ship should be modified to become a Plasma Cruiser.

as to water for fuel? at high temperatures that becomes hydrogen and oxygen, a reductor and an oxydizer, which will wear down the engines VERY fast. i'd suggest helium. inert, high specific energy capacity, abundant.


as to NNP's:

use Tok'ra oneway shields to project a box/sphere/whatever shield, inwards. inject liquid helium, which fills up the shield. a naquahdah pellet is shot inside, then an array of particle beams deploy the right radioactive material at high speed, causing fission and superheating of the helium which then expands massively, causing a momentary high-energy pulse.
