oh yeah. i wouldn't even know were to start

and i think that makes sense bar

hehe. Asguards fine tuned there engines. Little grey dudes are a bunch of grease monkeys. Wonder what they could do with a bugatti veyron

Cool station James. Great build and some great scences Keep up the good work.

And i think the writers wouldn't make the Supergate go boom. its the biggest plot device they've got! (well after Atlantis [also known as "That house full of really idiotic ancient tech" .... )

Lol, well I'm inclined to go with your theory Bar, considering it's very similar to what I'd thought anyway. I actually watched The Siege (all 3 parts of it) yesterday and I noted that they said with the ZPM tied into the Daedalus they should be at Atlantis within 4 days. But I'd certainly like to think the spires are to make hyperspace travel far more efficient so the ships could travel faster without having to rely on massive power sources such as ZPMs. Course, we also have to assume the Asgard do indeed have an incredible source of power of their own because they're able to create wormholes between Othalla (and pressumably other planets in the Ida galaxy) and Earth on a whim (using their fingers a lot of the time which is worrying lol).

Communication is one thing, chain of command and instant FTL another. I mean, c'mon, writers doesn't had plan of something for 10 years, season two or three they just need unbeliavable hi-tech race and why spend time in 42 minutes and why complicate plot in episode to wait 2 days (or something) for Asgard. They propably didn't think that one day Asgard give that technology to Earth. I think for creating such rules one must take in count how writers often bend their own rules... that's why, allright, Asgard had quick hyperdrive, but I don't think it should have been instant hyperdrive.

Probably make it able to go REALLY fast...

Thor mentioned in an episode that the beliskner class vessels are powered by a series of four neutrino ion generators. God only knows the kind of power they can supply, but it's enough for them to be able to traverse entire galaxies in mere minutes(All the way across their galaxy, past two more galaxies, to our part of the milky way...).
I know it's fan-updated, but there is a piece about these vessels on the Wiki.

Well, it's unlikely that neutrino ion generator is more powerfull than ZPM.

[scorpius]

It's possible it can create as much power at any given moment but not so much over a sustained period of time, just a theory anyway. I'm not really too worried about it. If we're not careful we'll have to take this to tadz' argument thread lol

Reading that article it says (it may have been mentioned in the series at some point, can't remember off hand though) that Beliskner class ships (and pressumably other Asgard vessels) are equipped with internal energy dampening fields to negate the amount of damage internal explosions can cause. Reminds me a lot of the system the Titanic had (and that Tom Paris also added to Voyager in the "Year of Hell" two-parter).

It could easily be way more powerful, but a totally incompatible form of power generation.
At least that's my view.
Bar.

[-Raynor-]

Not cathing you now... anyway, why I think so? For few reasons. Firstly, Asgard were beaten by Replicator, whose assimilated not just Asgard technology. And yet, Replicator were beaten by Ancient technology - this reflect, in my opinion, that Ancient technology is still way over Asgard.
Secondly, three tinny ZPMs are enought to supply Atlantis; and Atlantis presumably had more hunger for energy than standart Asgard vessel.

It's all my guess of course.

[Bar]

Well my ideas are just guesses also!
This isn't an arguement, merely differing ideas of what it might be!
It's interesting to just fire these ideas back and forth.
Bar.

No more comments about there "Captain Slow" then. Maybe it'll do a DeLoren and disappear in a flash with buring skid marks!?!
