Hello:
As I mentioned in another topic, I have made a huge editing of my SGU stuff; so I made Destiny, the Seed Ships and Shuttles much more accurate in terms of proportions and new details.
But, I decided to work on a little side-project, about a possible Ancient Race with designs from the Destiny era, so that will be way before Atlantis and Aurora class battleships.
My idea is that there is about the Ancients not long after they arrived to the Milky-way by escaping from the Ori, so they will develop cool tech but their numbers are few. So, not many ships with crew and they will be similar but smaller than Destiny. Lots of automated ships from lots of tasks, like ingame's destroyers, scouts, frigates.
Is this idea a good one?
And here are some pics of my Ancient Cruiser1, which come in two Variants: Carrier (with 3 Shuttles) and Support (with 2 Bio-Domes).
I am in serious need of name suggestions, so please help .

:Y man your Destiny Ancients ships are amazing and that new "old ancients" cruiser design is great to
I agree, Well done Chile!
Nice work, I like them.
As for suggestions, I don't see the ancient Ancients being combative. Sure the Destiny and the Seed ship are both capable combatants - but thats more of a defensive capability for a ship that has a specific role. So perhaps you could initially focus on the support ships but giving them a combat capability. Combat capable construction ships and mining ships. For ships later in the tech tree, perhaps we could see a gradual evolution towards newer Ancient designs, ships that are focused more on pure combat capabilities.
Also, we know that Atlantis is a ship, perhaps other Ancient structures may actually be giant ships.
Just my two cents.
Anyways, no suggested class name for that cruiser? anybody? .
Going by other Ancient names - something long and unpronounceable
Just to clarify, I didn't mean progressing as far as new Ancient designs, I just meant to look at the newer designs and see if any features lend themselves to the older designs, so the starts of evolution. Without thinking too hard about it I think it's probably a dead end as they are very different configurations, but who knows, you may see something that fits.
As always, your work continues to amaze and impress me. I truly wish I had even a tenth of the talent you so effortlessly display. Looking forward to adding these into my custom install very much.
