    Hyperspace Missiles

    What if you had a nuclear missile with a hyperdrive? You could use the hyperdrive to go right through shields making the missiles come out of hyperspace inside the ship. The missile would then explode. This would destroy a Wraith hive ship, and best of all, the wraith would have no way to stop it. The missile would only need to be in hyperspace for about a second meaning you could use a cheepy one-use-only hyperdrive. Why worry about wraith ships???

        You missed out on the best part man.

        You tie an Asguard sensor into it to spot targets and then you kill the hiveship from a few lightyears away when it dosen't even know you're there or that you launched an FTL missile at it.

          screw the asgard sensors, use the ancient log range, just hook it up somehow and hit them from atlantis.

          the prblem with that is tht it would prob take months for the missle to hit anything far away...

            Big waste of res, be good if they could dial the black hole next time a fleet of ships comes for atlantis and drop it in another sun, i like big explosions!

              Would need to be a very big missile which in turn would cost more then its worth. So far we have not been able to place a dedicated good hyperdrive on something roughly the size of a fighter and yes there was the F-302 prototype but it wasnt good enough for extended use, only a quick 'jump' and thats rare to happen when the naquadria would be better suited on a battleship sized craft.

                Actually a missile with a hyberdrive would be a very good investment, because the atlantis team can't get through the wraiths shields with any of their other weapons.
                Even better would be if you could shoot down ships in hyperspace with it. We know that ship weapons can't be fired in hyperspace, but i believe a missile with hyperdrive would be able to. It would be like the time the asgard destroyed their ship to destroy the replicators when they were in hyperspace.

                  The Wraith don't have shields. We can't hit them because the darts keep getting in the way.

                    Oh, forgot. I thought they would be using shields now when they are treathend both by the tauri and rival wraiths. Still a hyperdrive missile would get through the darts to.

                      SCREW THIS!!!


                      Why don't we do a thread and think up of some "useful" ideas on how we Earthlings can defend against aliens with crazy weapons.

                      1) Site Transport to Transport V1.2
                      - We know on Atlantis that in Siege Part 3 that Daedalus beamed Nuclear Devices into the Hive Ships in order to blow it up, but they've been jammed. A missile or even a nuclear explosion outside the ship would even do some damage, even considering that the Wraith do not have shields.

                      - In some episodes, they said that the Wraith is preventing them from beaming the nukes on their ships, but who said that we have to beam directly on the ship, we can beam really close to the hull.

                      - Also it seems this blocking of the transport beam was only done by the Wraith. Lets see what the Ori can do. Bwahahahaha.

                      2) Multiple Energy Sigs of Phantom Ships (Idea from SG1-Season 9)
                      - Vala had a Go'uld Transport that had special abilities. Why not add this extra features on the new BC303. I'm sure if we fooled the Wraith that we had like 8 BC303s they would be freaked out. Or even if they fooled the wraith and have a bunch of darts fire on phantom ships as a distraction. Would be nice.

                      3) EM Pulse Variant from the cargo ship in SG1- Season 9.
                      - Vala used the cargo ship to overload the Al'Kesh. Could this idea be implemented into disabling the Hive Ships. Even by overloading the Hive Ships' Primarily systems for a minute, the Daedalus can beam nukes directly onto the ships.

                      4) Missile Spread V.1.
                      - We definitely have the capability of building missiles that fire with alot of power. But why not create one missile that shoots out several smaller missles that do a weaker amount of damage? It would give a better chance for us to make a hit, instead of 1 large hit with the possiblity of the missle going down.

                      5) Cloak with Shield Capability
                      - Atlantis is essentially a large ship with powerful shields, but it also can maintain a cloak. Cloak generators use less power than shields. Why not design a cloak for the Battle Cruisers, and at the same time design a different system that is capabile of giving shields. Sneaky!

                        I disagree that the FTL missile is going to be too costly to produce. It might be a bit hard for Earth but not for someone like the Jaffa nation, our supposed allies. A hyperdrive missile would be less complicated to build than a Goa'uld Cargo ship and those things are like the Honda Civics of Stargate spacecraft.

                        There's also the fact that no matter how much your hypermissile costs it's still not going to cost nearly as much as the enemy capship it blows up. You wouldn't even need to launch them from ships. Silos on planets would be perfectly fine. You could even shorten their flight times/augment their range by relaying them through stargates like Wraith darts and them having them fly up into space and kill whatever they came for.

                        The biggest problem is targeting.

                        If you just wanted to blow up stationary targets like shipyards or something though that problem is greatly mitigated. You just need to spot it once to get its location and then your guys can program that into the missile's computer before they launch it.

                        Depending on how fast the missiles are (asguard drives for teh winz Lol) you could even have your own ships designate moving targets by acting as spotters and then have missiles launched from nearby facilities to score kills. When the missiles got near to the target area they'd just smash whatever it was your ship was "painting" as a target. Combine this with cloaked jumpers and the fun goes through the roof.

                          Why have the missiles on a planet when you could as well have them on ship? And if you know a ships speed and direction you can easily calculate where to shoot.

                            How 'bout we have them on both!

                            The point I was trying to make with the planet thing was that if you had the tech to build a lot of hyperspace missiles you wouldn't even need a very big space navy. This is probably the perfect aproach for Earth to take.

                            You'd need the space navy primarily to hold/occupy territory but since Earth is mostly only interested in defending itself at this point a vast cache of hyper missiles and a network of patrol ships and/or listening posts for targeting could be just the thing.

                              The main problem with having Hyperdrive missiles on ships would be the size. Assuming the 302's is the smallest Hyperdrive that can be built wiith the technology available the missiles would have to be pretty huge, limiting the complement a ship could carry. Also the instability of a Naquadria Hyperdrive limits the range of the missiles so they couldn't be used for much more than defence.

                              However they could create a couple of satelites in orbit around Atlantis, fix them up with a Puddle Jumper cloak and a bunch of Hyperdrive missiles, that should surprise the Wraith if they turn up again.
                              I hope you like Guinness, I find it to be a good substitute for food.
