Description
Well, this I've been sitting on for about the same time as the other Star Gate ships I’ve submitted. I’m very proud of how it came out.Story
In 1999, the first star fighter prototypes were unveiled to the USAF high command. The fighters performed extremely well, but failed in the ability to be mass produced. Instead, more research was made, and the secrets of the alien technology revealed.
The lasers were reverse engineered, as well as the engines. Funding from the former JSF project spurred it along, completing the fighter much faster than expected.
By 2005, project 'Nova' was completed, and the SF-01 was released. The fighter had a stealthy design, reducing RCS to slip under the radar. It could hold four missiles/bombs in its ordinance bay, and it could fly to the edge of the atmosphere and achieve orbit.
The main part about the fighter was how small it was. It had retractable wings that folded in underneath the fighter, allowing it to be sent through the star gate. This was to be easier than deconstructing the fighter and sending it through piece by piece to construct an off world base.
Designated the SF/A-03 'Badger' it was exported to many countries around the globe.
In 2010, a squadron of Badger fighters flew up and successfully landed in the USSS Aquarius, marking the completion of that ships testing.

Except these are cooler, because...well, because they're from the StarGate film universe. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah. puddle jumpers are kina crap. no hyperspace, 6 or less drones, and crap starfighters. mine are way better

mine are way better
No lack of self-esteem there!! 
And of course anything from the StarGate universe is better than stuff in the Stargate universe.

eh, i wouldent say EVERYTHING. Stargate had dr fraisure (...had... *sniffle*). it also has the city of atlantis, and had asgard (...*sniff*...), and alot of cool space ships.
StarGate needs expanding, space battles, lazers, angst, flawed heroes, explosions, more stargates, more planets, and a way to get ships too and from earth and ... the three lettered planet the bad guys. kun, aur? i forgot.
and whoever said i have little selfe esteme obviously never heard me explain my strategy of helping the new series battlestar galactica defeat an imperator-class stardestroyer! HA HA HA! IMPERIALS CAN NEVER DEFEAT THE COLONIALS! SHEILDS ARE FOR LOOSERS!
*ahem* yes...

StarGate needs expanding, but it pretty much has everything else you mentioned. They just haven't put it on film!! Angst and flawed heroes are lame, though, and best left to sh*t-shows like the new BSG. In my opinion, at least!!

yeah, ive seen it its awsome! kudos to whoever made it.
viper (origonal series) vs tiefighter, pretty much equal. neither has sheilds, both have lasers, and both are pretty adgile, although the viper has the turbo.
Battlestar vs stardestroyer, stardestroyer winds hands down. it has much more powerful weapons, missiles, sheilds, and hundreds of fighters, including bombers.
battestars have lasers and missiles, but missiles are their heaviest weaponary. they dont ahve sheilds, and hold less than a hundred vipers. they also dont have a distinct FTL drive, merely acellerating to and from lightspeed.
i think that flawed charicters are a great asset to a show. you cant have perfect charicters, they need to have been ossled arund, variation is essential. like in the case of jackson and o'neil. jakcson is a sheltered archeologist, never been near a gun. O'neil's been in the military, and he's lost his son. he was ready to die in the movie untill jackson turned him around. he's a flawed hero anyway.

Was that the original BSG against the Star Destroyers?? I thought it was the New Series version, but I'm afraid I'm not much of a starship spotter when it comes to BSG.
I can see your point about flawed heroes, but there's something to be said for an example-setter, too. Someone who provides a set of ideals and a lifestyle that is a shining beacon of goodness, who sets an example for you to follow. You may never achieve their level of "perfection," but in attempting to reach it, you better yourself and improve who you are. Personal stagnation is never cool...and perfect characters are refreshing, because it's nice to see a glimmer of uncorrupted goodness in this world. They're inspiring and actually quite rare, even though people seem to feel that they're overdone...which they aren't!!

well said.
there is space for utnainted goodnes, but i still like tragic heroes. and the people in the new series battlestar galactica seem to be more real. thats jsut my opinion.
just there, that was evaluating the origonal battlestars vs the imperator-class stardestroyers.
new series isnt much different, exept it uses conventional weapons, kinetic energy weapons, shells and the sort. it would be harder to beat an ISD.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To each his own!!
Ah yeah...energy weapons are always superior to projectile ones.
How about Classic BSG vs New BSG??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hmmm. well, for sheer awsomness I'd have to go with the new battlestar galactica. her design might not be the most prettyful in the 'verse, but her gunfire is spectacular. the old galactica dose however have a much nicer body, but less cooler effects.
in combat, i dont know. i think the new vipers would win over the others with manuverability, and the MK7 had three guns as opposed to the MK2's 2. the other vipers have lasers though.
battlestar to battlestar, the galactica has missiles, nukes, heavy KEW weapons, and flak barriers to protect from projectile blasts.
the old galactica has lasers for anti ship and anti fighter and missiles. also, it seems to get the crap kicked out of it whenever a good sized bunch of raiders get through.
the galactica might tale a bit of dfamage from unblockable lazers, but i think it could pount the old galactica into submission soon enough.
so im going with new galactica.
wana try old and new pegasus?
new pegasus for same reasons, and the new pegasys has much heavier weapons than the new galactica as well, its forward guns can shred a basestar in seconds.
and there is no real difference between the old galactica and the old pegasus.

Hmm...well, I'm no expert on the subject, so I'd have to go with what you're saying unless and until I can come up with other evidence.
I do know that energy weapons like lasers are always more effective than projectile weapons, and since they can't be blocked I assume that they would hurt the new BSG more effectively as well. And since the old BSG had energy weapons, it's a good bet it had energy shields as well, which would probably render the primitive projectile weapons of the new BSG harmless.

having directed energy weapons (DEW) is very different to having energy sheilds. in all of the episodes of the old series that i've seen, they never mentioned sheilds, only scanners.
if they did have sheilds, they most likely would have said things like 'sheidls are failing' or soemthing during attacks. the only time there have been sheilds in the BSG relm, is in the PS2 game, that is very loosly based off the new and old series. they mention a 'radiation sheild' when the bridge is attacked repeatedly by raiders in the first level, and nothing afterwards.
the main advantage the old would ahve against the new is the DEW's. they would cause alot of damage to the battlestar, and its flak barriers woudl be useless. it would have to charge and attack it heavely fast before it was damaged beyond fuction, but i think that the old battlestar would ahve nothing up its sleeve to defend, appart form its ability to acellerate to the speed of light in fairly short spaces of time.

Whoa...it just seems impossible that it would have no way to defend itself against attacks!!
You're the expert on this subject, though!!

thats why BSG would loos msot of the time when put up against other scifi's, they ahve never had sheilds. they rely completely on armour.
kinda expains why it burst into flames whenever a raider patrol shot at it.
so a stardestroyer, that fires multi gigatonne blasts form its anti fighter guns is gona shred it, Startrek is gona run rings around it, one hitting vipers and picking off turrets, and probably a dalek warship would pound it with shitloads of missiles. BSG is just the underdog of the scifi scpetrum.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
LOL Yes, you've got a point there...
I'd say that Star Trek is probably the "top dog" when it comes to sci-fi tech.

hmm. personaly, i think that the imperials could beat the federation in an all out war.
the federation, as an organisation, is much better than the imperials. they've elimenated war, poverty, and educate everyone in the ighest luxurys with the msot advanced teck in the universe.
starwars however, is completely military. its guns are so powerful most of them can blast melt a small moon in one shot. as well as they can build giant space stations in years, destroy planets, and cross their galaxy in a matter of hours.
the ancient Starwars vs Startrek war will continue long after im gone form this earth i think, and its doubtful either will win.
if i had to bet on who'd wi, i'd go imperial, but if i had to choose one to live in, it'd definetly be the federation.

Hmm...that's a good point, but I always go back to the fact that people in Star Wars use lasers, which have been shown to be entirely ineffective against Starfleet deflector shields. The phasers, on the other hand, would no doubt piece energy shields meant to deflect mere lasers. Starfleet has the advantage of the advanced tech (they're WAAAY past lasers), so I'd feel safe putting my money on them.
Although it's best never to underestimate organizations such as the Empire...hmm...
I'll probably download the Star Destroyer for "Star Trek: Bridge Commander" and pit it against my TOS USS Defiant.
