I have been working on a small project involving the Stargate universe. It is a story about an "off the record, unofficial" SG base called Epsilon site green lighted by General O'Niell. Basically, during the time just before the Asgard decided to end their existence (sometime before the Carter replicator arc), The Asgard Mimir - the chief science engineer, designed an Asgard interceptor / fighter and small battle cruiser to better fight the replicators, then after the replicators were defeated in their part of the galaxy, they turned their efforts to fighting the Ori. These ships have the latest Asgard tech and they were designed for the Tau'ri to pilot them. They are slightly larger than the Go'auld death gliders - not sure by how much as I don't have a modeled cockpit yet.

Here are some pictures of my work so far. I am still new with UV mapping and such but hope to have the problem licked soon. My meshes are intended for a small web series using Daz 3d or Poser and maybe a small game using the torque engine - not sure yet. It depends on the Stargate movies and future Atlantis episodes. I am taking baby steps now and don't plan on being done for at least a year, but I'd love to get some feedback from some seasoned modelers. This is my first real model so be gentle, thanx!!!

It's a remake of something I posted on here a looong time ago. Belongs to a group of rebel Asgard who went into self-imposed exile thousands of years ago.

ZakeD,
Long time no see old man! Welcome back! Good to see you again! And I definitely like your Asgard ship. Different from the norm, but still easily recognizable as Asgard origin. Hmmm, renegade Asgard, interesting idea. Could their butts be greenish instead of grey? Would explain a few things.

MrCead,
Be gentle? Nah, I say we strap you down and whip you. LOL! Just kidding! Gotta pull your leg a little. But your models look VERY good. Nothing to be ashamed of at all. So stand proud. Would the fighters be small enough to fit in a Daedalus class ship, or would they be just a tad too big for that? And re the hyper drive equiped? Anyhoo, good work.

And I have 300 pages as well, and more importantly, over 3000 posts!!! WOOT! Seems like we just hit 2000 yesterday. Great job guys.

Yeah, lost internet for a long time, as well as most of my models. I posted that same ship a looong time ago on here, back on page 80 something. Well, a crappy error filled second model ever made version.

They are androids. Got tired of using frail clone bodies.

Welcome back Zake. That ship certainly looks somewhat familiar eh!

Welcome aboard MrCead, always nice to see new faces here. I really like the design (I've always loved Asgard designs, which is why I built one for Zake quite a while ago! I'd love to try my hand at designing an O'Neill style ship though). I've often wondered whether Asgard would ever have had fighters or not, I thought maybe they'd have had unmanned drone type fighters or something like that.

Yep. My first version was full of errors because it was only my second model so I figured I'd redo it because I needed some renders of it.

[SKATO]

what are you guys using(PC Program) to make these pics?

Or are you just drawing them?

[Dr Lee]

i Personally am using a program called 3D Max but there are many other programs out there.

Thanx for the warm reception guys and I'm glad you like my ship. It is supposed to have hyperspace capability (at least the inter-interstellar type due to its size) one main pulse cannon in the nose that can also be used to fire a sustained beam (like the O'Niell class ships). The hard points on the wings are really shield emitters that are supposed to glow when the ship is operational (you can see them on the O'Niell class ships but I don't recall ever seeing them shoot anything, so for now until I get corrected, they're just decorative shield emitters lol). The ship is as wide as a death glider but its nose is way longer. I like your idea of rougue Asgard downloading their consciousnesses into android bodies. The one in my story gets his consciousness downloads his into the ship's computer by the base's Tok'ra doctor because his body failed before completing the small battle cruiser (pics below). I also like your ship design because in the Stargate Wiki it theorizes that the Beliskner class ships were the in the tales of many Jaffa legends and therefore would date the design over a thousand years old or so. Your design shows attention to that fact, nice!

The Carter class fighters (named after Carter for her ingenuity and guts) are intended to fit in any ship that could hold them. They have minimal shielding but not sure how strong just yet. I am waiting to see how the Ori fighters are in combat. You beam in and out of the cockpit and it has a large capacity transport buffer like a wraith dart since it only has room for 2 and a small cargo hold. I didn't want to make it too powerful or give it too much stuff but the last cool trick it has is the use of Merlin's phase shifting ability as a cloaking device because there are only supposed to be 4 or 5 of these ships with no intention of there being anymore built and their purpose is covert, seek and destroy type missions.

In my project, the team that pilots these ships have an implant that helps them to control the ship (much like how the Ancient gene is required to fly Alteran tech and Wraith dna to fly Wraith tech - at least the wraith cruisers) because it requires a great deal of mind control to interface with all the systems correctly (I rarely see Asgards pushing buttons and that hand stone doesn't have a mouse wheel, lol). I am trying to keep the Norse hammer design as much as possible because they say the Asgard keep this symbol in high regard. I have a small battle cruiser design (somewhat smaller than the Daedalus class with only one launch bay and for some reason I was compelled to give it transport rings to intercept a ring transport beam or interface with Go'auld /Ancient /Ori tech) but its not completed as yet. Here are some pictures of the small battle cruiser and more of the Carter class fighters.

just gave me a thought with your description on the last page - i wonder how the ori would have gotten on fighting the replicators...

[scorpius]

a very interesting point. Ori weapons were all energy based like asgard jaffa etc, obviously more powerful than those we'd seen previously but still energy weapons had always proven quite ineffective against the replicators. Course we don't really know how good the Ori followers were with science (if we went by the science vs religion debate we have now it might be that the Ori didn't want their followers experimenting like that)...they may never have come up with anything like the anti-replicator weapons the SGC developed.
