Closing Note

We go with Petri's design, which was already turned in to a 3D model.

Description

In the end battle we need a model of a P-Fleet orbital defense plattform.

The plattform cannot move my itself and is unmanned. The weapons are twinklers and lightballs.

Examples from Babylon5:

Cardassian Plattforms:

Great ball of death

My concept for the orbital defence plattform. I figured that the plattform ought to be buid from the same components and materials as the P-Fleet ships so I used the twinkler cannons and lightball launching tubes from Kickstart.

Very nice sketch and design Petri, glad to see Thierry using it!

Petri Liuhto August 20, 2010 10:37 Flag

Yeah, sure. I gues it really doen't need that many lightball launchers

Thierry Gschwind August 20, 2010 10:31 Flag

Cool design, more logical what I had in mind.
But I would reduce the number lightbal launcher since light ball can fly curves and launch system inside takes place which could be used as LB storage.

3D Model of "Ball of Death"

I made a simple model of Petri's design. Won't be used in close up anyway.

That looks great Thierry, the raven suits the dark metal really well. Well done! :)

And it's fully animated by the way.

Petri Liuhto August 22, 2010 11:37 Flag

That's just pure awesome! :D

Avenger Orbital Battery

I just cut & pasted an AH64D M-TADS and an AN/TWQ-1 Avenger weapons platform together onto a crappy MS-Paint body.
(c) Boeing & Lockheed, crappy body by me.

I hope this will be of some inspirational use for real designers.

The defensive purpose of something like this is readily recognizable.
Also the fact that it was built using simple terran technology.

Floats in space, has moving optics & turret.
