Hello:
Now thats a good looking noise!;)
Thank you very much! :hiro:
Very nice model mate. Very clean.
Thank you! This was another ship I wanted to do back in 2008 for "Battlestar Armada", but I was unable to.
Cool idea! Build the whole ship around a single landing bay..
That is true! The large landing bay is this ship's main prominent feature (that, and the internal facilities). But considering we only have a dorsal and side view, I had a good time trying to decide some of the shapes.

Hello:
These are renders of my redo model of the Lantean/Asuran Gateship, otherwise known as the "Puddle Jumper".
Asuran Gateship render.png
The Gateships are small spacecraft, measuring 11.57 meters in lenght that features retractable thrusters that allow them to travel through a Stargate, as well as two retractable Drone weapons bays for self-defense and a cloaking device to avoid detection. The ship is speedy, sturdy and with the drone weapons it makes it a very formidable craft.

Size came from someone who actually measured the physical prop:

Hello:
This is a new model I made based on a ship by Mallacore and Riser38 for the mod "Stargate Invasion". The Construction Bee was designed by AtolmAzel:
Asuran Construction Ship render.png
The Tecton class is the construction ship, first designed by the Lanteans (As the Ancients were known in the Pegasus galaxy) and also build and used by the Asurans. This ship is larger than many of the Lantean combat ships and carries all materials and equipment needed to build outposts, satellites, labs and more. Once a suitable location is found, the Tecton releases it's complement of Construction Bees, which are designed combining elements of Gateships and Destiny's Repair Robots, to assemble the materials into what is needed to be build. Tecton class can work alongside Fortigo class cargo ships, which can carry extra materials and workers.

Hey Chile great construction ship!

You should make a carrier variant, based off of this one.

Funny thing is, the original version of the ship (by Mallacore) was meant to be a cruiser, then it was redesigned to be a light carrier (by Riser38 for the "Stargate: Invasion" mod, and since I do have a carrier design in mind, I thought this ship was great as a construction ship.

Nice work, liking the design. :thumbsup: The construction bee is cool as well, I'm seeing some puddle jumper influence there.

Thank you very much! :excited:

Yeah, the Bee was designed to have that influence, but also a bit of Destiny's Repair Robots... but that latter influence might be better-seen when I made the Hyperborean construction ship ;) .

Hello:
These renders are of a complete rebuild of the Atropos class frigate, a ship used by the Lanteans and Asurans and seen in the series "Stargate: Atlantis". Thanks to the mod "Stargate Invasion" for a helping hand as they provided a pic with a side-view, it was a great help to get proportions done accurately:
Asuran Frigate1 render.png
The Atropos is a light craft, specially when compared to the Aurora class heavy cruisers. But this ship is much nimble, specially in atmosphere flight, as it is capable of pursuing Gateships, the ship can also cloak. It is equipped with moderate shields, it comes armed with 2 drone launchers, 2 main energy pulse weapons at the front of the side pods and several light pulse weapons for self-defense.

Hello:
These are renders of the Clothos class frigate for my Stargate AU. This design was created by AtolmAzel:
Asuran Frigate2 render.png
The Clothos is a larger frigate than the Atropos class and it specializes in firepower. As a frigate, while it can screen friendly ships from enemy fire, it is better-suited dealing against enemy medium-sized ships, leaving larger enemy ships and installation to the Aurora class and above.

It is equipped with moderate shields and it comes armed with: 4 drone launchers, 6 main energy pulse weapons (4 front and 2 aft) and several light pulse weapons for self-defense.

Hello:
These are renders of the Lachesis class frigate for my Stargate AU. This design was created by AtolmAzel:
Asuran Frigate3 render.png
The Lachesis is a smaller frigate than the Atropos class and it specializes in speed. As a frigate, while it can screen friendly ships from enemy fire, it is better-suited as a harrasser of enemy capital starships, to this end, this ship uses it's powerful engines and it's two large forward-facing beam cannons that can deal a lot of damage, before escaping into safety.

It is equipped with moderate shields and it comes armed with: 2 drone launchers, 2 front-facing beam in large cannons and several light pulse weapons for self-defense.

Loving these frigates Chile, that is some good modeling work. :thumbsup:
I think the Lachesis is my favorite design-wise, looks like a fast and vicious attacker. I can totally see a small group of these taking down a capital ship! :yum:
I'd love to see a picture of these ship designs side by side to see the size differences.

Thank you very much! It was very fun to build!

Oh yeah, like a comment I've received from my friend Okwa on DeviantArt, and that makes me very happy because that means I was able to show my intention for this ship!:excited:
