btw the 304's and 303's have never actually been called anything else than 303's or 304's i know it says deep space carrier on the badge well that is stating the obvious thats just 1 of the many things it does... and the stars texture is almost done ( it is me first attempt at something like it so i will make more improvements as we go along or if u spot any mistakes).... here is a examples i can think of that they have been called just 304's... When the Russians wanted there gate back near the end of the episode i recall that dude that runs the place and Daniel saying "Daniel: what did we have to give up" "dude that runs the place: a fully operational 304 with a full load of 302's"(sorry about that i forgot his name lol) ok below was made in paint and it will get better as i learn new things in paint
I can't actually remember what the station's supposed to look like but this looks good to me, although a bit stretched in places. When exactly did you start this model? Seems like you've gotten to this stage in no time at all.
Update on my Icarus, I've spent more time adding details to the platform and the fighter bay, and I also added the bay door. I've decided there won't be any external communications array on the top like there is on the Daedalus, (in fact that whole section won't be there) I figure as you don't see any external antennae on Asgard ships internal arrays may be built using Asgard designs. C&C welcome as always
Yeah I started it on wed and worked on it for about 6-7 hrs total. It was a lot easier then I thought it would be. I used a lot of arrays and it is a very symmetrical model. It also helped finding this schematic pic. Also added a screen cap from the episode.
Oh my god! Just nabbed SGA-D's Atlantis mesh... It's sooooo FKing sweet!!!
Can't wait to get The Archer-Class in there. Chris, You are a master of modelling.
Darn... Found a rather nice Bitmap in the the Zip that i'd like to stick onto the -308 Archer Class. I can get it onto the ship with my eyes closed. But when i try and have two ships each with different textures on them then Max throws a wobbly.
What i want is one ship with this Texture
And a second seperate model in the same file&window with this texture
But it won't allow me:help: Also is there a way of keeping textures on an imported image?

That ship seems really small to me.
But it occurs that it could have a dual purpose!
Think of it like the cab of an atriculated truck!
So it could be like a cargo ship(If you have a stack of containers attached behind).
Just a suggestion.
In wartime, it could fulfill the support role, but for the Atlantis milk-run, it could haul maybe ten cargo containers behind it...
I only mention it, because it reminds me of the new Optimus Prime...
Bar.
Dr Lee, I don't know what the easiest way to do it is to be honest (I also may have misunderstood your problem) but one way to do it is clone the ship within the file, copy the material in the material editor so you've got 2 copies of the same material. Make sure that one of the materials is applied to one of the ships and the other to the other, then modify the bitmaps so you've got one with your textures and one with the one you found.

That's exactly the way I've been thinking about my maintenance ship for SB-1, kinda like the workbees in Star Trek, they serve their purpose when on their own but can also be used to tow various items as well.
It appears that all i had to do was Clone-Instance not Clone-Copy. D'oh!
Thats a good idea Bar but i've designed this as a pure short range patrol ship, the -306s fill the role as Earth's cargo carriers in my designs
It was just a thought.
In light of the cargo idea, i am now thinking of a large cargo train system to be towed by Daedalus class vessels, though...
Somewhere in the region of twice the length of a Daedalus, and towed behind(But "attached" on the rear underside and top rear of the flat deck).
It would be really handy when the need to ferry large amounts of cargo to a newly settled planet.
This whole line of thinking assumes the ORI get defeated, and that humans are free to start colonising planets as they wish.

i know this thread is Stargate but... I just found a ship i like, the ship off starship troopers great and original design and looks as if it were of similar technology to the ships of Stargate... There is one other... Talon i think, he is off Farscape and great design will post pics as soon as i get some good 1's

Fair enough if you intend to make an SG ship from them, but if all you are going to do is post pics from "other universes", please start another thread, Tadz.
This is Stargate...
ah yeah I believe instance copies all the subsequent changes made to one of them onto all the other clones
Actually it was the other way round for me When i did clone-copy then any changes i did to one copies textture affected all the others, it was only when i did clone-instances that it finally worked......
As it turns out the Prommie texture included in SGA-Ds Atlantis Mesh file is a better look than the Daedalus texture i was using:rolleyes:
I always thought Talyn (and Moya for that matter) looked cool, although neither of them look related to anything from Stargate I don't think. The Starship Troopers ship resembles Stargate tech more I'd say, maybe a mix of Tau'ri and Ancient ships (the front of it reminds me of the front of the Aurora class warships. But like Bar says this is supposed to be a Stargate thread, fair enough if you intend on porting the designs to the Stargate universe
yer i know Talyn looks nothing like Stargate ships but he could be a form of wraith ship and i plan on making a ship from starship troopers into a Stargate ship and Talyn yer i will try to draw him as a wraith BTW scorpius did u happen ti get ur name from Farscape lol
well lol, actually it's a name I used for years in games (whenever I needed to name a profile or whatever) and I hadn't consciously gotten it from Farscape as I hadn't watched in ages when I started using it. When they showed the Peacekeeper Wars miniseries for the first time on TV (first time I could see it anyway) I suddenly realised that's probably where I got it from lol
Scorpius is the coolest and most evil villain I've ever seen... I mean, Farscape's Scorpius :-)
IMO Farscape's rules how Moya works could be implanted to Hive ships, you know - living ship should have some kind of inner self-defense, some immune system, like Drds in FS, as well as individuality.
Nah, Scorpius wasn't the most evil villian ever. To me, he only rises to the level of incompetant henchman with a temper tantrum. I've never been a fan of the Farscape series, or for Firefly for that matter. Now, I don't hate either, but nothing about them even comes close to Stargate, Trek, or SW. We're not even talking apples and oranges, more like apples and brussel sprouts.
Now, I could see the Farscape ships being ported to a Wraith genre, and the Starship Troopers to a Tau'ri design. Changes would need to be made of course, but they could work. Would be interesting to see how that would play out.
I certainly agree that it doesn't compare to SG, ST or SW (too many acronyms damnit). I've never watched Firefly but I did watch Serenity and didn't rate it that much to be honest. I'd probably say SG/ST/SW apples, Farscape oranges, and Firefly brussel sprouts. And how dare you say I'm not the most evil villian ever, I shall kill you where you stand lol
Like you say though, I could certainly see Talyn and Starship Trooper ships as Wraith and Tau'ri respectively.

Little of that Klingon dander coming out there Scorp? Or do you have a snake in your head now? Just promise you won't shoot me in the mik'tah. I need it.
Maybe that's the problem, watching continual series like Firefly and Farscape from the end, which is Serenity and PK Wars :-) That's like start watching Stargate at the Unending. For me, both FS and FF are way better than last few years of SG and perhaps then some Trek, like Voyager, because writers of FS and FF had guts to make a shocking twist in story and preserve it, not erase consequences at the end of episode. And of course characters looks more human and beliavable to me, more like someone who could exist. But yeah, that fruit rules of yours could be also counted.
A slight OT...
So the SGC decided they needed a permanent watch tower over the Ori super gate so they decided to tow the Summit stationin proximity to full fill that role.

I'll stick with the DSP designation for now.... Oh yeah, the Archer class will be -308s
