to be honest, i don't know what are the difference between them...
as reference images i use all screen capture from Odissey (SG1) and Daedalus (Atlantis).
Probably i'll create varius name for this ship so i can choose what ship i want to use (daedalus, odissey, apollo, phoenix...), so this will be a generic daedalus class!
the difference between the generic Daedalus and the Apollo is that the Apollo has a bomb bay to deploy the Horizon weapons platform. Apollo - Stargate Wiki
I would say no reason what so ever, especially for 304's which come after the Apollo, ones retroffited with the ability or we are meant to use our imagination and it has always meant to be there from the Daedalus onward
point. there is no evidence as to whether or not the General Hammond and the Sun Tzu have the bomb bay or not. the only down side is that the bomb bay on the Apollo hasn't been used since First Strike. when you think about it, there would be very few times which the Tauri would need to deploy the Horizon platform, which could make the bomb bay a waste of money unless they find a new use for it (such as carrying additional fighters or weapons as a small example).
new little update, i'll have to fix some too big details.
for the bomb bay, probably i'll create it when i'll finish all the other details. Now i'm searching some reference pics for f-302 bays.
after some months of work on this ship, it's almost complete (finally).
A very special thanks go to Solarie, he did the texturing process with all the textures for this ship. Without his help, probably i'll never finished this ship...

Are you using the Scanline renderer for the ship or something different (MRay, VRay)?
Well, the materials are good, and the model is good too, but i do not understand what is 1,000,000+ polygon on this ship? -=sAs=- made the same ship from approximately 200k polygon. Keep up the good work and i am congratulating to your ship!
don't know how -=sAs=- worked, but i used the chamfer tool on all the edges of all the panels...it means this: if i created a box, it had 6 polys. then i delete the hide poly (5 polys ; and then i used the chamfer tool, so i'll get the panels with (at least) 17 polys. there are at least 4500 (small panels)...and all the rest (basic shape, engine, details....).
ok all sorry I have been out for awhile just I have been haveing issues witrh accuring a comp for use with max but the good news is that I do have a comp now and work has once again commenced on the Hammond. the following are pics I made to represent that work has started again I am running max 9 now and not quitew used to the new layout aswell as I dont seem to know as much as I used to but either way I hate to rant so here they are all C&C is welcome as usual
But I have started it up again.
I am making an Ancient command ship. Called Arcturus Maximus Primus!
If you guys remember Stargate Atlantis Season 2 episode 6 "Trinity." (Its the one where McKay Blows up the solar system.) I am making a Ancient Ship based on Project Arcturus. I have invented a new class for it too Arcturus Class.
Here are the stats: Two Dorando Guns (turret on top of the outpost in that episode); The wing things are going to be giant laser cannons similiar to the laser from the Asuran's Satellite weapon. It is bigger then Aurora Class Warships. I don't know how long a Aurora class is I heard 1500 meters, but mine I want it bigger so 3000 meters. It has two Arcturus Generators (glowing balls near the engines). Plus normal Drones and Ancient heavy cannons.
Important:
I am using someone else high poly mesh as concept until I build my own mesh here are his credits: (I have change his mesh a lot but he is the original artist)

This is actually my mesh:
My mesh of the ship is about 30% done so far. Haven't even started making the texture yet.
What do you guys think of my Arcturus Maximus Primus?
I've followed the thread for a while and here is my two bits...
THE THOR CLASS SUPER CARRIER. Got the idea after reading a fanfic a few months ago and seeing ELITES Leviathon Class Carrier. A super-sized Daedalus from the not to distant future. The inner pods are drydocks for the Daedalus, and possibly the Prometheus and I believe the Tempest class, which someone mentioned to me. The inner pods are multi-level hangars for everything from the F302 to a tokra Alkesh. Been at it for about 4 weeks now and its still not done.
I actually hadn't planned it that way at first, but I decided to cross the daedalus with the only really "well" understood Ancient vessel out there, of course this is about 20 -50 years into the future, so they are able to build a 1 km plus vessel.
Thats cool. But i think my ship does meet everything you would like. hehe
The Engine came to me in my sleep. I relly like how it turned out.
This is the only ship besides Atlantis that can use the Wormhole Drive.
Plus it has two Arcturus Generators. The model is finished, but haven't started making the texture yet. It is going to go into a game so it is low poly. 9580 polys.

Keep up the good work!
I finished the exterior modelling, and now i'm trying to create some textures. c&cs and suggestions are always welcome!

:eek!: speechless...:thumb:

edit: just fixed some problems...
Better than the model used in the show! At least until I get HDtv...
I never got a chance to download the one that used to be in the download
section or the Prometheus before the site got hacked.
