Glad you like it daniel. I would hope by the time we get to 2017 when they build ships like the Argo and Valkyrie, they would figure out it's kinda stupid putting a bridge right sticking out like they do on current ships. So yeah it's internal to provide protection. Also no other ships in the SG universe seem to have huge antennae sticking out of the hulls so I also figured they would have internal sensor and communication arrays etc.

Just different enough from Daedalus, so we know it used some different principles and tech in it's construction, but the perfect design lineage to show where it came from.
My Brother, however, mentioned he thought the side skirts of the flat-deck should extend out and down around the flight pods.
I am not sure if it works, but i threw something together very quickly.
As i say, i think it looks fine the way it is(But i promised my Brother i'd mention it to you). Once again, forgive my crummy photoshop skills... |
I did look at having the wings come down further and cover the pods but I feel that deck looks better if it's longer than it is wide, having it cover the pods means it becomes wider (obviously) and if I made it longer again it would just be too huge I think. The only other thing I could do is decrease the size of the larger fighter bay and bring the whole thing in more. The fighter I'm thinking about designing was going to have retractable wings anyway so they'd be able to fit more in there. Not sure. Glad you like the ship anyway
