The Hyperion, a Stargate Ship - Scifi-Meshes.com

thorthefifth · 06-11-2006, 04:54 AM

This is a ship I have been working on for a couple of days now and have reached a point where I am happy with the overall design. I figured I would combine the Prometheus and Daedalus into a ship that I want to designate as a ship for the Pegasus Galaxy. It will have some railguns and a few other "secrets" as I continue to update. I am mostly posting this to get some crit on my modelling skills.

I know about the crappy panels on the sides of the nose but by the time I realized that they looked that bad I had advanced too far. Sorry.

Also, am I doing the engine glow correctly because I have never been able to get a proper engine glow.

One thing -- I like the Daedalus / Prommie combo here. It's nice to see these two ships come together.

Another -- this ship seems much more compact than most other stargate ships. Roughly the size of an Al'Kesh. Yes, No?

Finally -- The name, oh lord, you took my ship's name! No, no, no.

Just kidding, though. I love the name Hyperion.

Look forward to seeing more.

Cheers,
Nick

Wow sorry dude, I called myself checking to see if anyone used it already. Don't mind if I use it do you or would you rather me rename it? It is a more compact ship yes. It's size is somewhere in between the two other class ships. It is for use on missions in Atlantis so it doesn't have to be too elaborate.

**nhall** · 06-11-2006, 04:32 PM

Oh, no offense on the name, man -- I was just kidding around. As I said, I love the name, and with the Greek naming schemes the Tau'ri use to name their ships, Hyperion fits in very well. Thanks for the background info, BTW. Keep it up!

Cheers,
Nick

neat little compact design! my only complaint is the engines, they look terrible.

sorry if that last bit was too harsh.

Not a bad idea creating a ship for the Pegasus-galaxy. Has to be a very tough vessel if you intend to send it against the wraith.

Keep up, i will watch your progress.

Thanks guys, I promise to fix the engines but it will probably be in a later update. I am focusing on the command tower and I have screwed it up so I am spending my time trying to fix it. Here is a quick update showing the damage.Hyperion 4.jpg
I am trying to make it look good I promise.
