F-302/a & F-302/B ???

[Einheitskanzler]

Does anybody know why the FX guys changed the appearance of the F-302 during the 2./3. SGA season and 9./10. SG1 season?

The ones used in Atlantis don't have the hyperdrive thinger..

Possibly they are different production models, from different companies.

The F-302 did evolve over time. It could have been possible that design differences, minor, would be explained by the variances in functions.

However, we see above that the differences concern fighters which should have been the same.

Difference in production models is an issue that afflicts all ships. Prometheus, hiveship, puddle jumper, etc.

It's a pity that the different designs are not the fruit of the will, but just a matter of fluke.

Only the ha'taks, as far as I can tell, were modified around season 4 to introduce a new model on purpose.

We did saw the old model in It's Good to be King, even if the hyperspace shot was made using the new models.

That, and the mirror shot, which show with asymetrical designs (304s and their com towers for example). I hate when they do that, especially since it offers no gain in drama, style or else.

But it surely kills credibility.

the X-302 had the rectangle in the middle.

the F-302 had the triangle in the middle.

the x-302 had a hyperdrive in it, which was scrapped for the first fleet of f-302 to be made.

The second fleet of f302's were made for the daedalus in the pegasus galaxy.

Maybe made with better power systems and rail guns attached.

Ehm, the 2nd lower pic is from the Odyssey squadron.
And only the X-302 had a hyperdrive as far as I know.

The one with the rectangle is from SGA season 3. So it can't be the X-302.

I'm pretty sure the triangle thing on the bottom was the hyperdrive thinger.

All of the 302s we've seen in SG-1 are like the ones in his first two pics as far as I know.

unitll season 9 or 10, all the 302's in sg1, both the x and f, had the triangle undercairrage. In all of Atlantis and SG-1 season 9 and 10, the 302's had the flattened undercairage. There have also been some revisions since, leaving us with three different models.

As for why the model has changed over time, we don't know. It was never said in the show that they stopped putting hyperdrives in 302's. And at least one production 302 did have a hyperdrive.

I never noticed this before so thanks for pointing it out. I think it's just another case of the writers/special effects guys changing the model just for fun thinking no one would notice. It's just like when the Prometheus suddenly got hangar bays like the Daedalus in season 9 when before those were the hyperdrive engines.

Vala,

Thank you so so so much, i thought i was just going mad and hear random letters in weird places.

[ManiacMike]

I think I got the triangle and the rectangle mixed up. I would have to go back and rewatch the episodes.

But I'm too lazy to do so right now.

The pictures show that for the same battle, the CGI models used between two different episodes were different.
They're not supposed to be different fighters.

[stargate_tech]

I think that each 302 is outfitted for different circumstances. Maybe they just advanced little bits and peices as they go. Personally, I like the atlantis season 3, 302's better.

That's what I said.

Yeah.
