Calling all Stargate Fans!

As said, here is an update on my progress so far. I've spread the cannons all over the bridge area now so the top section is mostly armed and defensible but the bottom is still vulnerable. The last two images show what my main turret design could look like, it is going to be the easiest turret type to animate since the energy barrels will be connected to the pivoting section. The parts that stick up are going to house launch tubes for missiles and drones and maybe even some other projectile variant( if those exist). I'll probably re-work the turrets design to become more like how I thought it should be like. Feed back is what I really need on this! So give some if you can. Great work to everyone so far as well. Oh and I just recently thought of this but my design doesn't seem like it would be able to fit into the Stargate universe with the changes I have made to it, so I'm not sure if I should keep on posting about it in this thread. What do you think?

It's a great ship but I don't see the need for it in the stargate universe. If the smaller ships like the 304's and 303's have their own hyperdrives why do they need to be carried? Maybe they could use a place other than earth for repairs and refits but a space station fills the role for that better than a carrier. The only real need for a carrier is to haul around F-302's and you really don't need a ship this big for that. Unless you're carrying a few thousand of them.

Thanks. It's supposed to be one but I wasn't able to do much to it except get the basic look of the station since I thought it would be a good first model to make, I named it Vancouver Station since it was supposed to be in orbit above Vancouver in an animation. Also since I have Super Mario Galaxy and a working external hard drive =) I'm going to be busy, very busy =D and it's surprising that it was just noticed now.....

very nice, have a tiny update on the trident.. enjoy

[Dr Lee]

Looking good there tadz, though i'd change the font and size of the 'USAF' on the nose

[starburst]

I agree, its way too big
Try and strack down the real USAF font, make it smaller and maybe have it like this

USAF
TRIDENT

With 'TRIDENT' in smaller lettering so it spans the same space as 'USAF' if you get me (something different) or mayb the class no you have given it

[Dr Lee]

I'd also try and give it it's own 'border'. maybe place it on it's own panel or have it surrounded by panels...

EDIT- Update on the smaller carrier idea.

Added a load of windows on both sides of the ship, hopefully it'll show the deck layout a bit easier-


I've also got some basic engines on the rear, they'll stay that shape and layout but i wanna add a load more greebles onto them before i'm done.


I'm not entirely sure what that shading is about above the engines, would building the polys there fix that or is it a bigger mess?

Finally here is a quick render of what the carrier would look like with it's 2 Corvette escorts (One didn't look right to me)

thanks for the tips will give it a shot, looks nice from what i can see there dr lee hehe
