Stargate Universe
-
The only thing I like is that the art style feels less like “the future… from the 80s” and more like today’s sci-fi. Otherwise, it looks like a big departure from the older series, one which I’m not too sure is a good one.
Time will tell?
-
Well this new episode certainly is an improvement in my book. But the Destiny* just looks a bit wayyyy too powerful. I mean going through a sun ……?! ; that’s going in the “wow” category .
-
Tunicle, you’ve not yet seen the episode “Light” then at the time of your posting.
Remember that a ZPM powered Daedalus shield could widthstand the full brunt of a coronal mass ejection, and ancient shields can widthstand or have seen to be able to against pretty much anything as long as power is there.
Naughty SolCommand, spoling Tunicle like that lol.
Since hes already gone and done that …
Since Destiny extended out some kind of energy collectors on its descent into the corona one can assume that it only needed a few seconds of shield power left until it started gathering energy to power its shield, so not that much of a feat as far as ancients go.
Although from what I can tell, the design of the destiny and some of its technology appears to be a joint effort between the 4 races (ancients/nox/asgard/furling) as I can see (subtle) parts of their architecture and similiar technology. But thats just the impression I get.
I love this new show to be honest, I have my reservations as it does need to improve, but overall it’s pretty good so far!
Oh, and can someone model up a Destiny for Freelancer? I’ve thought about doing a full blown Stargate mod, theres BFM, but I would like to do my own, if anyones interested in being involved you know where I am.
If you would like to model the ship I can provide HDTV 720p screenshots of the ship from all the angles of it we currently have available, got all 5 episodes sat on my PC
-
I dont think I’ve got time to do that ship but I’d love to get my hands on those HD pics you mentioned. Maybe for future references. So if you feel like uploading them somewhere …… be my guest
-
Here we go, got the best looking shots I could get anyways, the videos are HD res but aren’t obviously hi-res detailed, but good enough I think.

So yeah I’d love to see the Destiny in Freelancer!
-
Well heh, I’ll be honest and say this is the first Stargate capital ship which doesn’t look incredibly ugly
(Sorry, I don’t like mule-pyramid hybrids, the Dedaelus, Asgard stuff, etc.)
-
i’ll work on the Destiny. How detailed do you want it?
as for the shields, now that they’ve established that they can SUNDIVE, they’d have to encounter ridiculously advanced aliens if they ever want believable antagonists. And enemies advanced enough to defeat that shielding would be able to rape any sort of standard infantry weapons the expedition has on hand, which means they need to find an armory, soon.
we did see in the trailers what seemed to be powered armor/environment suits, so here’s hoping for that. Powered Armor in the mainstream, never thought id see the day.
AND ONE MORE THING
I see relationship drama. I feel for Eli, I really do.
-
As detailed as possible, as far as I know there’s some cool way to do high polygon models into several component parts isn’t there? Was done in some Star Wars mod.
But whatever you think is best.
I’d probably have the ship serve as an Alteran capital ship in the mod I’m doing.
I’d prefer the best looking or highest detailed ships as possible without sacrificing too much computing power to it haha.
Or, if you wish, design the shape of it in the traditional lantean/ancient architecture.
