Okay, so WTH is up with our missiles? We see them definately impact the hive, but there's no nuclear explosion? I would like to call a major BS on part of the writers.

Anyway, we don't know if they were nukes or not; Michael could have upgraded the armor on his hives or something. This is in the future. And a scenario I find more likely is that the Phoenix didn't have any nukes (remember, the IOA was reluctant to give Carter anything at all by this point).Click the banner or episode links to visit the virtual continuations of Stargate!Previous Episode: 11x03 "Shore Leave" | Previous Episode: 6x04 "Nightfall" | Now Airing: 3x06 "Eldest"The Continuing Stargate Wiki | Stargate: Avalon l The New "Ark of Truth" | Stargate: Universe Reviews | Banner designs by Alx

and you think every missile a 304 carries has a nuke on it? That would be insane and stupid to boot.
We don't always want to nuke everything! What if we want take out a small target, or just take out engines on an Al'kesh?
besides the fact that nukes are a tad expensive. I could see having a dozen nukes at most available and they shot those off in a hurry so just fired what they had in the tubes basically.

2. they won't due nearly as much damage, as thre is no medium in space to conduct the explosion, most damage from nukes is actualy caused by the shockwave. there is no air in space.

I think they were probably were nukes. Its just that in space most of the damage from nukes is caused by radiation. I wouldn't even bother firing standard missiles are Hives, they'd do nothing...Robert Jastrow (self-proclaimed agnostic): "For the scientist who has lived by his faith in the power of reason, the story ends like a bad dream. He has scaled the mountains of ignorance; he is about to conquer the highest peak; as he pulls himself over the final rock, he is greeted by a band of theologians who have been sitting there for centuries."

Or as it looked like, the missiles were intercepted before they could impact. Nukes don't detonate on impact, they have to be armed, then detonated through their trigger mechanism.When the time comes to utilize Earth's best weaponry against an ailen threat. The weapon that will ultimately prove to be Earth's best will be the Zatnikitel
