the deepspace research ship carries teh rescue recon ship...the shuttle will be for my medical ship.

btw, here's a rough first draft of a history. care to give some comments? Spoiler: One day, in the early 2009, when Rodney McKay was skipping happily through the virtual, green, and quite imaginary fields of the Atlatis database, he stumbled upon the blueprints of an Ancient plasmaweapon. The projects was unfinished, and had been abandoned when the war with the wraith started due to the fact that the council deemed it an unnecessary...

aah i see you thinking about converting this one? i say keepthis one as a cruiser and "civilianize" (not a word i know) Athena as shes bigger and more suited for the job IMO or are you going for an entirely new design?

heres a wip for a tauri dropship(ALKESH) Dimensions: Length: 260'/79.248m Width:160'/48.768m Height:27'/8.2296m DOES NOT HAVE HYPERDRIVE. it is instead brought to location that it needs to be @ by a Carrier.

Well, the ship had just recently crash landed, give it some credit for even making it to Earth. But it was lucky it didn't get hit by anything before then.

since the Ancients inhabited MW for a million year at least and had something similar to a galactic empire, don't you think that they updated the gate system, software and hardware during that time ? You could see : - Destiny's gate as v1.0 or up to v1.9, if it received updates while the Ancients were still there. - MW gate as v5.0 - Pegasus gate as v100.0 (they had millions of years to improve the original design) and the reason...

If we're running around trying to avoid their ships (the Wraith have...

At least, it could be made to be. So I doubt the minimal risk that's still there will put a lot of people off. Most important thing here is not even the trips themselves, but the fact that this will attract new interest from the public,...

Quote: Originally Posted by Aer'ki I don't know if you're aware, but the virgin ship design isn't single stage...it's a two stage dropship. Yes? Your point is? It's a variation on the design of Space Ship One, which is just a small hybrid rocket, and other than the low cost, there is hardly anything interesting about it. A cryogenic LH2 aerospike engine, in contrast, is light and efficient enough to allow for a...
