A ship that I created[Semi Safe for 56K]
This is concept art that I made, it is a Type 3 battleship, arount 45 meters high, meant to carry heavy transports and tanks onto hostile planets
It has its top missle batteries, its main forward charged particle cannon for anti ship warfare.. and it is powerd by 4 small ion engines with repulsors for athmosperic travel

Sketchup? Not bad, I'd add colors to the areas you want seperated by lines (like the top grill) then select it all and soften it to pop the lines out. You could also make textures for the area like the grill and put that there.

It's so bad it wraps back around to awesome then back to bad again, then back to halfway between awesome and bad. Like if ed wood directed a godzilla movie - Duckie

No, its more like the Promethus from stargate, it has missle based attaks, but it is depenant on its fighter escorts to get it through tough planet defenses... Fighters will be my next project.

I suppose sensor/comm/ECM might werk, or some sort of mount for missile sytems etc like on attack choppers, but they really are too small for anything but the most basic atmospheric maneuvering

One question though, if my ship as one forward focal weapon, should I mod it to have more external missle pods?

Assuming you mean the ship is built around one main forward-firing gun, you should definitely invest in any/all ofRedleader34 wrote:One question though, if my ship as one forward focal weapon, should I mod it to have more external missle pods?
A) More hardpoints for mounting more guns. "And the Gunner spake, saying: Thou shalt watch thy six, lest thou get shot in thy arse because thou couldst not cover thy arse."
B) More/bigger thrusters to turn the ship. "And the Helmsman didst spake, saying: Thou art not fighting in atmosphere, but thou art fighting in space, and in space thou canst travel forwards whilest thou art shooting backwards."
C) Superior sensors so you can see and hit long-range targets. "And the Scanner spake, saying: Thou art fighting in space, where thou canst see objects millions of klicks away, yea, and thou canst shoot targets so far, with minor losses in accuracy."
D) All of the above. "And the Captain spake, saying: Remember redundancy. If thou hast multiple resources at thy disposal, thou art more likely to survive the loss of any single resource."
For the specific case of an atmo/space fighter, you'd probably do best to have more weapons and better thrusters, so you can shoot in all directions and run away if the fight goes against you.

Its more of an assualt transpor. It has sheilds, powerd by its twin generators on top. It has acrew of 20 decited operators, and 200-400 marines, and it carries about 20-30 M1-A1 Abrams sizend anks. It is meant to capture small ringworlds, Larger O'Neil style stations, and as a secondary invasion craft, after a Planet's Main defense station(Think MAC guns from halo) are down. Its mostl automated, since it serves as a crew carrier. Its a ship from a sci-fi universe I was working on, and its one of Earth's most common sips, since we are sort of the Austrila of the Galaxy. Small navy/army, but our wquipement is quality made.
