Sure, it had upgrades but if it did had the power core or a ZPM or something equal, it what have had no trouble with those 2 wraith ships as the power requirements would have maxed out the full potential of the Asgard technology e.g. Asgard hyperdrive full potential reached with ZPM, 4 days to travel to Atlantis in Pegasus galaxy, compared to Earth naquadah reactors, 18 days travel. It is also not mentioned if 304s are powered with mark 1s or mark 2s or both naquadah generators before SG-1 episode Unending.
@@johndoeenemy still to this day, Stargate is the most science grounded TV show, even though they had to take liberties for the sake of the show. But the sheer involvement of the US air force and NASA should tell everything already.
Moral of the story, if you’re going to be a threat, don’t be predictable. Winning is beating the odds, so don’t get greedy if you do. Expect to revert to the mean if you don’t stop while ahead.
The Stargate series, all of them, or any of them if you will, was the best T.V. series to ever run, I miss seeing the cast of these shows, the movies made after they ended were great also; but, like all good things they all came to an end..........so very sad indeed!
Shame Asgard shields weren't more up to snuff, you'd think given their conflicts they would be. I imagine Lantean shields and weapons were as powerful as they were because of their prolonged war with the Wraith. Asgard cores and beam weapons, Lantean shields and missile weapons (drones) with 2 ZPM's and the size of a Beliskner-Class ship and you'd be looking at one uber earth vessel.
It really pisses me off how technology in Stargate seems to work depending on the script. One episode Tau'ri ships get into battle with 12 hive ships or destroys several Ori ships, the other it gets beaten by two hives or few ha'taks.
That was 3-4 years prior. Wraith weaponary has changed and Michael has knowledge of Earth and Ancient technology and could of improved the Hive's weapons. Their weapons were also entirely proportionate to their energy. Remember the ZPM hive's artillery was insanely powerful that completely disabled the Daedalus, the Apollo and the Sun Tzu with one salvo each.
No it doesn't. And the 304 beam weapons were down when the Lucian alliance attacked. The Hammond was on a secret mission before going to icarus. They planned on making the repairs on route and when they got there.
This is a good example of how the Lantians lost to the Wraith. Ships are better in every way but in the end if the Wraith manage to force an engagement with sufficient forces they win.
@@ge2719yeah. The trick with having this kind of massive fire superiority is never engage for longer than you have to. Pop in, cripple the hive hyperdrives, destroy what you can and leave. Jump in a million klicks five minutes later and keep stacking the deck. You're faster and vastly more powerful. Only keep your main guns, shields, hyperdrives and power systems online. If your systems take a hammering disengage for a whole.
If made today Carter would've survived, insulted Rodney for taking so long, defeated Michael in five minutes, murdered thousands of innocent civilians in the process but got a medal for gallantry when she got back to earth and be made general in charge of Star Gate Command.
@@100dampf no I’m saying as soon as she noticed those 2 hives were in orbit and they started firing she should’ve jumped, the 304’s shields are more than a match for only 2 hives even without a ZPM. They definitely had enough time to escape but you know, plot
@@100dampf i mean ammo without a gun is useless, you still need the ship to protect these people jumping to hyperdrive to evade fire and then back in for an attack pass would've been smarter
@@Dzejk86alternatively they could have just you know, killed the hive infront of them by firing at it. They already showed that Asgard beams can kill a hive in seconds, but it takes multiple hives minutes to knock out the sheilds on a human battle cruiser. Also "were boxed in" it's space so unless its litterally a box, nope. Your smaller and faster than the hives, your sheilds are stronger than anything short of atlantis itself, and if you fly close to one of them the others can't fire on you without hitting it and it can't bring all its weapons to bear on you at that range. You can even start throwing nukes at that range, they then need to change target to those or risk destruction (your sheilds however can shrug off a nuke, even goauld ha'tak can do that, wraith hulls can't however). Basically when your ships that much stronger, your drives operational, and your not an idiot, you can't lose this fight. Had they brought 20 hives and hit you the moment you emerged, then maybe they win, maybe.
What bothers me is how the Phoenix jumps in, destroys a hive ship with ease, but then chickens out on the second one. The Daedalus, even with less advanced tech, was able to withstand twelve hives for a few minutes, but that one taking a few potshots at the Phoenix was supposed to be an issue?
I think one thing you have to recall on the Phoenix in that timeline. The IOA gave it to Atlantis only half done. The ship frame was completed, but most of the systems were still offline. It took the crews weeks to get it working. Also the other ships if they got damaged would go back to Earth for a full repair and upgrade that would last months. So if the Daedalus was getting repaired then the Apollo would do the supply run to Atlantis. In this alt timeline the Phoenix stayed in Pegasus and was repaired as best they could at Atlantis. Plus Phoenix was doing weekly attack runs against Hive ships even if it was not fully repaired. And the IOA was not worrying about the rest of Pegasus by then. All they cared about was the city. If they could have moved the city back to the Milky Way and left everyone in Pegasus behind they would have done so. I am thinking the IOA would let Carter and co fight as best they could, but if something happened to Phoenix then they would not do anymore to fight Michael or his forces. And its shown later on in the future that the city was abandoned later on. My guess would be Michael took over the rest of the galaxy and some time later lead an assault on the milky way galaxy. Remember what old Mckay told General Lorne "You know what is happening here." Meaning something was going on after the Ori were gone.
I loved both SG-1 and Atlantis. I heard that Joe Flanigan tried to buy the rights to the show but the company went into bankruptcy or something and that was that. SGU was such a disappointment. Every episode was just listening to them argue about who was in charge and who was porking who. Every now and then they mentioned space or showed an alien for a second but then right back into the soap opera dialogue.
Я наверное не видел этого эпизода,хотя казалось что смотрел всё.Жалко что закрыли сериал .Можно сказать в кульминации.Так и не узнаем мы,куда летит судьба
This episode always bothered me as it was well established that wraith hives had no defence against the advanced asguard weapons and in a few shots the wraith where gone, so even if the Phoenix was pulled into an ambush of 3 ships it was just 6 shots away from a total wipe and the Dedalus class was well known for its ability to tank hive sip fire
Spoilers: Yea but then they would also not find the cure which they eventually perfected, cure that removed wraith need to feed on humans(without side effects), putting an end to the Wraith war.
I wish they had built some actual warships. The daedalus designs were good, but way too small once they met the Ori and Wraith. Build something of comparable size with good armor and weapons, which would be completely reasonable for humans to do, and they would have a chance. A true battleship class warship would have been amazing even if we just saw it coming out of the shipyard at the end of the series. Use all the technologies they have access to
The Tau’ri had access to a lot of technology, but their resources were very limited. Power generation and transmission were also a problem. They could barely power the ships they had, a large class was out of the question. Still, after the Asgard upgrades those boats were extremely tough. Few ships in the Milky Way could survive if they end up on the wrong end of one. In a 1v1 confrontation, a Ha’tak for example is no match for a Daedalus class ship.
The axiom of combat duty: 90% Boredom. 11% Terror. (Yes, that works out to 101%. That's combat.) This extends to capital ships of a fleet. Ninety percent of the time they're standing there for show. A battleship is a lot of resources deposited into one hull when you could devote the supplies and personelle to a squadron of cruisers instead.
I always wondered why Atlantis hadn't been visited again by humans, were we/earth wiped out? Always found it quite eerie that Atlantis had sat there unoccupied for thousands? of years and no one had returned.
They were triangulated with three hostiles well extended in their respective engagement envelopes. You're in their sights: Running only means you die tired.
@@BogeyTheBear Not if you could literally jump into hyperspace and drop back out at a tactically better position ( or just run away), there is in fact NO way to "box" in a ship in space with 3 opposing ships. Space is 3 dimensional, it would take at the very least 6 ships to box in an opposing ship.
That's why you enter a system 1/4 light Year out and check out the situation. Did you know it's 2 light years to Ort cloud at the edge our solar system? Space is big, but in sci-fi stories they make everything seem small and close by.
The music here is terrible. No drama, no emotion. If this were Star Trek Voyager this would have been an epic moment. The sets and effect were on par with this - the music and integrity/effort of the performances is what elevates something in quality and makes it unmissable. Disappointing flat ending for Major Carter here.
2:38 is just a proof why tauri were mostly loosing space battles. Really, just 2/3 missiles per ship? In Star Carrier book series each ship is launching at least 12 fighter (still now enough according to me) and each is shooting over a dozen of ai-controlled nukes. If tauri ships would at least shoot 50 nukes per enemy vessel, we would be unstoppable :P
There are at least 16 VLS tubes on a BC-304. They could shoot more than that. The question remains why they didn't. Supply issues? Limited CGI budget? Who knows.
I've always wondered to whom are they shouting at... Evasive manuvers, return fire, raise shield.... Ect ect. Since the entire ship operation is seemingly run from those 2 console every single time 😂
Humans in SG1 and Atlantis got to the point that they were so OP, until plot reasons required them not to be, so they nerfed them in the most ridiculous ways. How the f does the Phoenix get dropped on like with all its advanced tech by only 3 ships?!? Daedalus went up against like 12 and survived? And if didn't even have the beam weapons lol They could have jumped. They could have beamed nukes on to the hives or right next to the hive ships if prevented to beam them inside. Just lazy writing for shock value

It's a game. You win until you don't
