What is the power of the main Ori mothership weapon? I mean, a single shot could destroy a Ha'atak with it's shields up with a single shot and the beam still had the strengh to continue after that, and even the most powerful Asgard shields could only take 2 hits before being overwhelmed. Since we know for a fact that a Mark IV nuclear warhead with a 1 gigaton power didn't even scrath the Ha'atak shields, and since the Ori beam went right through it and kept going, then it's obvious that the Ori beam's power is far, far above the gigaton range. I think it is in the pentaton range. What do you guys think?

Thanks. Interesting, but it doesen't answer my question about what is the amount of energy released in a shot from the Ori main weapon. My estimate is in the pentaton range, but I want to listen what others think.Originally posted by 2ndgenerationalteran View PostComment

To be honest I think it is futile to try to quantize the weapon strength in most Stargate ships. They seem to fluctuate depending on the plot. It's just better to think of ships comparatively. Ori ships are clearly very powerful. Their weapons can easily penetrate Goa'uld and Human shields. As for the Asgard shields, we really didn't see the Asgard shields drop. I'm pretty sure after the events of Unending we can agree that Asgard ships are more advanced than that of the Ori. Well at least more advanced than the ones they sent in the first wave.Comment

If it were a DET weapon it would have to have a yeild probably at least in the high gigatons to low Teratons to do what it does in space battles. It's not though, as the caps and various examples demonstrate. It's some sort of wonky technobabble weapon that eats shields alive but doesn't seem to pack that much in the way of actual energy, sort of like an ancient drone or that Asuran beam weapon that could barely scratch the asteroid despite depleating a ZPM boosted shield easily.
Most of the more advanced races in stargate seem to have some sort of weapons that can accomplish this sort of effect. That's to say they have some mechanism to cause far more damage to shields somehow than their raw energy content would ordinarily suggest. The Ori have weapons like this, the Asurans do, The ancients do (though theirs bypass shields entirely), the Wraith do, and races like the Asguard and maybe even the Goa'uld probably do.Comment

We have never seen a Mark IX used on a hatak or an ori ship.Originally posted by Noobtauri

Just as a side note, we have no evidence that the shields on Odyssey and Korelev were the most advanced Asgard shields, and speculation on Asgard behavior in the past would indicate that they were not.Comment

I think it's as powerful as the writers want it to be, for any given episode.Originally posted by NoobTau'ri View PostComment

what i dont get is how come they dont leave like a giant crater like when vala was ringed down it was all flat and burnt where i would imagine that that sort of impact would leave a giagantic hole on floor
which ori beams manage to slice through hataks with ease yet it looked liked it just destroyed the area when vala was ringed downsigpicComment
