Considering how many models are based on existing sciece fiction, how many of us have original starships?

I'm the world's worst at actually putting starships on paper, but I have original ships. I just can't draw mechanical stuff. Here's my archive, complete with terms to describe stuff that I don't know the actual terms for:
(Atmospheric, can travel planetside, Spacefaring as in operates in space...rather obvious)
Atmospheric Bomber "Firestorm" - light bomber designed for single runs on planetside settlements from high in the atmosphere, but not designed for long space flights. Holds a huge store of bombs in its belly-mounted cargo hold and drops the whole load at once for a single devastating blast. Almost unstoppable when used in packs of about 20.
Atmospheric/Spacefaring Cruiser "Pharadian" (alien name meaning apocalypse or cataclysm) - huge heavy cruiser of sorts with wings loaded with turrets. Why would a cruiser need wings? Because I wanted it to have them...it's black and nearly invisible in space, so meh to the size. Experimental cannons on the front that obliterate any and everything in their way.
Atmospheric/Spacefaring Battleships - Huge hulking things that I can't manage to draw. They're uber-powerful but they have a single weak location, the smaller center.
Spacefaring Frigates "Alternator" and "Needleshot" - the Alternator has three photon turrets that alternate firing...hence the name. The Needleshot fires something resembling space flechettes or flak. I'm not sure what flak is, exactly. But it wasn't inspired by the Flak Frigate. I made the Needleshot long ago.
Spacefaring Repair Bot "Lamprey" - sort of a small ship that latches onto other ships (hence the name) and repairs them. I really haven't developed the concept for this one.
All of these designs are before I discovered Homeworld, I believe, but I'm not sure.

ok, lets play...
;D Glove ;D class deathbringer, dimensions 10 by 15 kms, features, T-X style liquid latex armor, 5 nuclear yellish freaking desintegrating beams one on each finger, articulated fingers that can atach to enemy ships and insert a platoon of atomic robotic zombiemans to take control of the bridge, envenomed ms class engine alowing it to move at : dumdumdumdumdumdum LUDRICOUS SPEED !!!

Well i got photos: Hammerhead- robotic fighter/bomber with moving wings, propelled by anti-gravimetric drives, and inertial dampener and powered by induction fusion engines, equipped with a heavy plasma launcher, dual laser cannons on mobile wings, and twin nano flechet magnetic accelorator launchers, forty meters long when wing extended, maximum velocity 50% speed of light. img78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Kosh365/Other%20Models/Other_Starships_002.jpgDaedalus- Small exploration and colonization ship using zero point quantum flux drive, roughly 500 meters long maximum velocity 3 times speed of light. img78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Kosh365/Other%20Models/Other_Starships_006.jpgVulcan- robotic fighter launched from jugernaught class ship, with with 12 electromagnetic repulsor thrusters, inertia dampener,and a single rapid fire resonnance laser cannon maximum velocity untestable. img78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Kosh365/Other%20Models/Other_Starships_001.jpgimg78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Kosh365/Other%20Models/Other_Starships_003.jpgDecimator- Frigate class vessal powered by mark 12 fusion reactor with an maximum power output 9 terrawatts for providing plasma fuel and power for most ship systems. It is the smallest ship equiped with a string resonance modulator drive, powered internally by an entropic energy singularity siphon provides a near infinite amount of power to the drive itself, the Reaper Cannon, and the wave navigation computer core. When activated the drive alters the spatial postion of matter at the sub-quantum level and instaniously "shifts" the ship to a new point in space. Hull and ship systems an combination of organic and nano engineered components. Sublight propulsion is a larger version of the hammerhead anti-gravimetric drives maximum velocity is 12 times speed of light. img78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Kosh365/Other%20Models/Other_Starships_005.jpgimg78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Kosh365/Other%20Models/Other_Starships_004.jpgJugernaught-Supermassive fleet destroyer class ship approximatly 4200km long, its powered by 3 Helios class fusion reactors of approximatly 900 billion megawatts each. A Large hanger bay exists below the large nose/ram--which houses the Thanatos Weapon. The hanger bay is capable of building and launching capital class ships and exists inside of a hyperspatial field allowing it a vollume that could enclose the ship itself. It houses innummerable hammerhead fighers and provides a landing and refit area for the millions of Vulcan combat and slightly larger Nereid maintance drones, which are launched and housed in the 2 large blue pylons infront of the hanger's "runway" img78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Kosh365/Other%20Models/Other_Starships_008.jpgThe nano-organic nature of the ship and its weapons makes exact specifications unknown, as it is capable of reconfiguring its systems for maximum efficince both in and out of battle. But it generally posses 20 anti capital ship weapons of beam type configureration, and the 14 large Rapier fleet destroyer beams turrets. The underbelly serves as a lauch platform for planet killer weaponry including massive mass drivers capable of lauching drive plasma, and multi-warhead Mutilator missiles. It's Retalliator organic armor is a composite of living tissue, microrobots and a polymer based crystaline substrate, which is capable of absorbing energy and missile attacks, in the case of missiles the hull will actually attempt to capture and assimilate the incoming missile before impact, when sucessfull the missile will be lauched back at its original firer. In the case of energy weapons, the hull will either absorb the energy or if possible reflect the beam back at the enemy ship. The Jugernaught's string resonance modulator drive is the largest ever constructed and has an afectable area of 5,913,520,000 km. The Thanatos Cannon utilizes the same principals of the string resonance modulator drive to alter the properties of matter, causing rapid conversion of mass into energy. Although the ship is capable of moving instantly to any point in existance, it still posess "conventional" propulsion systems, it uses anti-gravimetric drives capable of destroying planets with their "wake." However its maximum velocity has never been messured as no race has dared go toe-to-toe with the ship. It is commanded by a sigle human, who's neural pathways have been augemented with nano-relays and interfaces directly with the navigational core, the core itself is an array of organic cells that utilize photoreactivity for computation, the entire core and the commander sit inside of a special temporal dialation field that speeds up time with in the core to allow the device and its commander sufficient reaction time. img78.photobucket.com/albums/v296/Kosh365/Other%20Models/Other_Starships_007.jpg |

Too many to list, so I'll pick one of which I have a pic available Nova class FrigateNot really that much info on that one, but she's got three medium plasma pulse cannons (awfully few for a frigate) and a forward firing particle cannon called 'Nova Laser'. Technical details not really thought through since this is more of a comedy story. I'll go find pics of more, though. EDIT: FLAK, btw, is short for FLugAbwehrKanone. Used extensively in WWII these ground- or shipmounted cannons fire a projectile at incoming planes that detonates after a certain amount of time, destroying any aircraft within several dozen meters, damaging them much further away. They were fired more in the rough direction of attackers than at single targets, but the sheer number of them was dangerous. |

I said I had more, just forgot about the thread...  These are from a different story/universe than the Nova in my previous post.  Orion-class Heavy Cruiser, in use by the Terran League Armed Forces (TLAF), a design introduced after the Metessim war that had decimated the fleets of the League and its allies, the Bretha, Ten'Var and Chataara as well as the Metessim Empire's, this ship is highly adaptable due to its modular build. Variations include gravity modules for diplomatic and representative vessels, troop modules, cargo modules and even fighter bays. Standard armaments include plasma beam cannons and plasma pulse cannons and two heavy missile launchers located at the top and bottom of the ship, defense systems are high-velocity laser defense cannons (used to vaporize larger space debris as well as missiles), EM-shielding (protection from energy weapons) and plasma screens (ued to vaporize smaller debris), as well as a multi-layer ablative armor.  Flamespear-class Plasma Destroyer Introduced almost a decade before the Metessim War, these ships are basically designed as a large acceleator coil and a bunch of engines. The high-powered Plasma cannon could deliver enormous damage at medium range (several 10 000 km), but is ineffective since the introduction of EM shields, which are capable of dissipating the ions in the plasma beam, greatly reducing damage.  Matarn-class Interceptor In use by the armed forces of the Ten'Var Hierarchy which unites the Var, a race of humanoid reptiles from the swamp planet Varch'ta. This light interceptor was first used in the second year of the Metessim War, as fast and agile light bombers, hitting the Metessim cruisers whose beam cannons were too slow to track the fighters. As the Metessim started using fighters as well, Matarns were outfitted with fast anti-fighter missiles and used very effectively as interceptors. They are flown by experienced pilots who can make use of the maneuverability to outfly enemy pilots. Armaments: Two beam cannons, two missile launchers.  Rahchak-class Cruiser - used by Metessim Empire These cruisers were developed six years before the Metessim attack on Bretha colonies that lead to the Metessim War, and were produced until temporarily replaced by the cheaper and sturdier Demak'ki class. They carry no troops, but eight fighters and heavy weapons, making them the choice for space warfare. After the war, the remaining ships and the few that were still produced acted as representative ships, carrying ambassadors and important dignitaries whenever it was necessary to show strength. The design was later reused to build the powerful Karthi'a cruisers. There's even more, but I lack really good pics for many of my designs, and also I'm too lazy to list more. |
