    Merlin's Phase Device

    I dont really get why they havent put this into atlantis' systems (except it would make them almost undefeatable) because its much better than a shield because they cant hit you at all and you can probably hit back if you need to.

    Yeah I've thought about that too I'm sure a single ZPM can send Atlantis out of phase. I'm sure Carter'll think of it at some point.

      Though it would be good as a save-the-day tactic I can't see the writers going for it as it would make Atlantis almost indestuctable...

          No, Earth needs Merlin's Phase Device for protection against the Ori maybe when that threat is done then maybe (because what fun is teh show then) but I can't see them giving the Phase device when the Ori are out to get Earth

            From Unending we know that Carter could have replicated the device, since she said the reason they couldn't do it was there wasn't time to send it out of phase.

              Well she needed time to do that, and then they reset (something I hate) and now we don't know if she knows how to do that given she didn't have the time to do it again

                Yeah... but the shield will only last aslong at the ZPM has enough power to power it and while the shield is up the enemy can pin-point Atlantis and keep firing to deplete the ZPM... The Jumper cloak only makes the city invisible if you were to fire at the city you'd hit it...

                The Phase shift tech would completely remove Atlantis from harm and aslong as there is power the city could remain "out of phase" indefinately and the drain would be constant on Merlin's device whereas the shield taxes more power when it is fighting off something...

                  My point was just that having only one device in the milky way would not necessarily prevent us from making another one to eventually send atlantis out of phase.

                    I'd be ok with that given several seasons already because if it just happened next episode it would be boring to watch

                      Boring perhaps but better than watching atlantis explode.

                        I would rather it blow as I won't see it coming and it would be nice change then the "oh my god we just barely made it"

                          Yeah, maybe we find another one, and let the asurans destroy it, while ours is cloaked, so they think we are dead.

                              Resetting is standard operating procedure.
