The season 4 finally for SG: Atlantis will see the introduction of a new Tau'ri ship by the name of Phoenix.

Joseph Mallozzi revealed in his blog the ships name and a picture of the new bridge. From the bridge shot we have a picture of the ship on one of the displays but due to its small size most of the detail is hard to make out.

My guess at the basic overall design.
(Since I didn't have much to go off of this is about 70% guess work and I used the Daedalus design as a base for the over all style.)

Looks like an interesting design. I like the low slung hangers beneath the ship.

Great find :) and a good looking model. Lets see how close it is to the one in the show

Mmmmm, I on the other hand like everything about it excapt the hangers, they just look too wierd and block in my opinion... Still, you're a great modeller and I look forward to the finished product.

It looks they are trying to incorperate Asgard tech more into the design of the ship (look at the console behind the captain chair, it looks like Thors), this would fit in the SG1 finale and the upgrades the Odyssey gets.

NB - they had better not let Carter command it, look what she did to the O'Neill......

Wait till BQ sees that, she'll jump on you for that comment. :lol:

I thought Cater was in command of Atlantis in season 4 onwards?

That's my understanding as well, doesn't mean she can't have her 'own' ship... :p

But hey, I mean Deanna crashed two Enterprises, track record isn't looking so good here... Kidding, please don't hurt me BQ!

See you've proved my point. cars, bikes, people carriers and space ships - the world/universe isnt safe from women drivers :D

Well like I said it's about 70% guess work right now but I do look forward to how close my guess really is.

It will be interesting to see how close you actually are.
Either way, close or not, its still a good looking ship :) - looking forward to a textured version

Excuse me? New research actually shows that it is the men that are the worst drivers, because of their "macho showing".

Look above for my comment.

But hey, I mean Deanna crashed two Enterprises, track record isn't looking so good here... Kidding, please don't hurt me BQ!

I won't hurt you, just give you some facts: Warp core breach caused the first crash. Picard ordered the second. :)

Pk, back on topic: I am really looking forward for more of this ship. :D

/\ What did I just start, last time I make an off the cuff remark, anyways back to topic, do you think we will see any weapon tech upgrades, I mean you would think that by now they would have installed the Asgard tech they were given, or done a deal with Jaffa for Hat'ak weaponary.

No this was just my guess of what the overall design may look like. Think of it as a 3d sketch.

The nose looks similar except the Phoenix is alot more streamlined . But its hard to make out with those pictures , will have to wait until there are better screen's or til the TV appearance ( Where it will be avalible on youtube :lol: )

Could be a variant, the two ships look simular with the quality of that pic but there are differences.

I would guess it an updated model.

But RJB, please continue with your model. I think it looks great.:thumbsup:

Could be boss , I think they have tryed to mix Prometheus and Daedalus together :) . Afterall the hanger on the Phoenix is abit smaller and she had a rised aft section ( Possibly the command deck , Prometheus used a large tower and had small hangers ) . She might be built for speed , a ship that can reach atlantis quicker than the 304's . Afterall it is an 18 day trip on the 304's and the city does need supplyed :thumbsup:

Im still wondering how she is armed tho , the payload better be equal or more than a 304 :yum:

I have to agree with Syf, i'd like to see how it looks textured, keep going with it! :thumbsup:

Then we can see how close it is :)

Paul has a good point. I am eager to find out weather it is a new class or not.

You may need to keep in mind that it looks like they are "re-dressing" the daedalus set, so that could be left over visuals
Well they did do that when they went from the Prometheus to the Daedalus but they also admitted that fans notice these things so I would hope that they would not make the same mistake twice.

I maybe mistaken but the bridge of many vessels look the same. Maybe more of a military code for design or something like that. Plus, if they had to redress a set to save money to put it into something else. As long as it was a good thing. THen I don't have a problem with it. That is a cool little video though.
