kinda looks like a stargate in space, makes sense, but i dont know how you would dial out...

"Close the iris!"
"Uh, the ship came out the other side, we installed the iris backwards!"

it is a stargate hence travelers should be advised not to gate to this location =)

That's a damn detailed model if I've ever seen one.  I like the Lens Flare too.  Did someone mention sunglasses?

well at least i was right about the stargate thing, that would suck to have a ship comming through the one on earth

lol, somehow I doubt a cruiser would fit in the SG1 gate  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/lol.gif)

Cool render!  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif) The Details in particular on the Stargate are excellent. Keep up the good work. Oh and to be correct that render depicts the episode where the Tokra and sg1 jettison the Stargate and dial up the star system with a black hole and cause an artificial supernova to destroy a gouald fleet.

hmm...
you need a gate on both sides, right? How come the other gate was not sucked in the hole? How the hell a species, as advanced as it can, could even come there to put a gate next to a black hole? Not even light can escape a black hole.

because the black hole was not there when they built the gate system, the gate system is approx 50,000 years old

and the gate was in orbit of the black hole - someday it will indeed be destroyed in it

but if it's close enough so the enemy fleet is sucked, the gate should have been gone a long time ago.

Oh it would go in, and be resized.  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/biggrin.gif)

nope the gravity feild from the black hole is amplified by the gate and preceeds the object generating the gravity field which according to carter that should not happen but it did and was cause many troubles at the sgc in one ep - anyway this gravity sucks stuff through  the gate so the put a shield aroudn the gate to protect it to from teh suns heat and threw it into the sun - the suns gases were sucked through the gate into the black hole reducing the suns mass when the mass of teh sun became small enough that its gravity could no longer hold back the explosive forces of the fusion in its core bang the sun goes super nova and thats what destroyed apohsis's fleet

A fleet passing through a giant stargate does so at speed, and thus, they have inertia. You've popped out of a capsule space at a Lag. You come out at 2km/s.

Now imagine that the gate is a mere 1km outside the event horizon of the black hole. If they don't change course and overcome their forward inertia within the first second, they'll slide right past the event horizon and become (as Stephen Hawking put it) spaghetti.

How many times have you exploited this sort of failure to change directions at the St. George Lag?  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/wink.gif)

when there was a pb, I usually ended up as ravioli rather than spaghetti  (http://dynamic.gamespy.com/~freespace/ubb/noncgi/tongue.gif)
