StarGate Daedalus (Preview)

Hey,
Thats the stargate atlantis Daedalus.

Rock on, Dude!!  

Dude! Sweet!

It's a Battlestar!

Oh, wait, it's a BC-304 Daedalus-class Tau'ri Battlecruiser (It's the mass-produced model of the X-303 Prometheus - not just the Daedalus itself. All new Tau'ri vessels look just like it, including the one the Russians were given).

They just look so alike...

I'd like to see that in the library!!

No, it's not the mass-produced X-303, because the Daedalus is a completely new design with new technologies, and a bit larger than the Prometheus(RIP). The Prometheus would most likely be a Medium vessel in GalCivII, whereas the Daedalus would be Large. The Daedalus is also a carrier, and the Prometheus was a destroyer with a small complement of 302s.

now that is awesome! now if it can only get in the library....

You don't understand my meaning. The X-303 Prometheus was the only ship of its class, and there will never be another of that particular chassis built ever again, as it was a prototype. The BC-304 is the finished product intended for mass-production.

At least, this is how I've understood the situation with the Tau'ri vessels. So far, all ships after the Prometheus have the same design, which support this.

PaladinStorm, heres a link u might find useful. If you still think the Prometheus and Daedalus looks the same, consult your local eye specialist.

And of course all 304's are going to look the same, its called mass production. If you’re going to build a whole heap of things for the same purpose, what’s the point of making each one different. Not only does it make it more expensive but it’s also a pain in the ass when it comes to spare parts.

han891, you are my hero! When can we expect to see this in the library? I would really like to bring down fire and brimstone onto the alien heathens with this vessel! Any other Stargate ships in the pipeline?

That is all.

Yes, the 303 was just the one and 304 is the mass produced battle cruiser. But the ships are not related at all. The Daedalus and Prometheus projects were running concurrently, and since the Daedalus ran into some trouble and needed Asgard help in finishing the design as well as donating some technologies, the Prometheus was built first. After that, it was clear that the effectiveness/cost ratio for the Daedalus was higher than the Prometheus, so they abandoned it.
I want an Ori Destroyer! W00t!
BTW, Splitski Sin, si ti kojim slućajem Hrvat?

I didn't say they looked the same. I'm not that looney. I'm just saying that Prometheus was a prototype of space-faring Tau'ri warships. The mass-produced Daedalus-class is the more refined, re-designed warship.

How many times do I have to explain it?

EDIT: Thanks, Reg. That explains things even better. But one could still say the Daedalus-class is a more refined vessel than the Prometheus.

EDIT2: Though to be honest, they do share a basic shape (with the exception of the Prometheus' 'conning tower')...

erm...whatver, the Daedalus rocks, how good is this ship in combat?

EDIT: Has anyone found an Aurora ancient warship yet, or is anyone intending to make one.

Your confused. The Deadie wasn't started until AFTER the Prommie. The Prometheus was an experimental platform, to test all the new tech they had figured out in the last six years (the Prometheus arrived in season six when it was hijacked by the NID). The Prometheus received several of the advanced technologies that the Deadie did, but they were add-ons for the Prommie.

In any case, all the ships built after Prometheus are the same, which is what PaladinStorm was saying. The Deadalus, Odyssey, Korelev, and the Spoiler: Apollo.

Thanks for clearing that up, StormWeaver.
Did the finale air? Cause I'm still hoping to see the Apollo be an entirely new design.

How many times do I have to explain it?

Well PaladinStorm, this is the first time I have seen you explain it, and even then, you’re not exactly correct. Redesign and refinement of naval vessels does not involve making large changes to the superstructure. Due to the large number of differences, the Daedalus represents a whole new class. You do have a good point about the conning tower. That thing was an eyesore. The Prometheus was like the model T, all boxy and unsightly and the Daedalus is like a jaguar, sleek and powerful (at least it looks powerful). Pity she cant really take on anything on even terms. Got lucky with the wraith more times than i care to remember, perhaps they should arm the missiles with some MIRV gatebuster warheads with puddle jumper cloaks so the darts cant shoot them down. That would make a big bang .

That is all.

BTW, Splitski Sin, si ti kojim slućajem Hrvat?

Bome jesan! A odakle si ti? The final hasn’t aired. You’re going to have to wait until some time early next year. Im betting it wont be a new design.

Hmm... A Daedalus with invisible Mark IX torpedoes. Could work... but there's always the risk of a device not going off, and maybe that's why they don't use them. They did lose 2 nukes on 2 wraith cruisers that one time when they managed to stop the detonations, so I think they're affraid of handing a Mark IX to the Wraith.

OOOOOOOOO, a dinamo fan .

So they mount several of the warheads on one missile, aka. ICBM. If one doesn’t blow, one of the others will. Either way the evidence becomes space junk.

That is all.

omg! its so.....beautiful. Does this mean a mod is being made? that would be AMAZING

Yes there is a mod that is being worked on. It's taken a back seat to the Star Trek mod but I've started working recently on the StarGate models.

that's great news! you mean the same team thats working on the star trek mod is on the stargate mod? because ive been playing that star trek mod and absolutely love it. the ships are awesome! now im really looking forward to seeing some more stargate ships. any idea when that daedelus will be in the library?
and whats being put into the stargate mod if u know? what races, ships etc?

That approach suffers from some key flaws. How many gatebusters can we afford to build? How many cloaking devices? Can we build cloaking devices? What about the power supply for those cloaking devices? The Daedalus typically fires missiles in salvos of four or five - can we afford to toss naquadah generators away like that?

Of course, I'm all for just beaming the nukes just outside the Wraith ships to avoid both the interference and the Darts, but perhaps that's impossible.

Oh, they've used beaming tech to deliver nukes. They just tend to require circumventing a beam-jammer defence system since the Wraith learned to adapt to it. However, somewhat-recent events have involved Wraith Hive ships getting nukes beamed onto them and going blooie (SG-1 Episode 10.03- The Pegasus Project, for instance).

It was just an idea. Could work in principle, and i sure in time McKay would work out the details...if they hang a lemon over his head . On a different note, hurray for the Stargate mod.

That is all.

Seeing there has been a great response to the thread I've decided to release the Daedalus ship. Please keep in mind that this is a preversion. Please don't ask for changes because there won't be any until I've had a chance to work solely on the StarGate mod. Right now the Star Trek mod is my first priority. Enjoy.

what does the preversion do?

It's just the ship, not the complete Stargate mod.
EDIT: BTW, preversion is a nice word. Hehehe... Kinda reminds me of this movie with this mad scientist and this world war and this doomsday weapon
