So I was watching a marathon of Stargate Atlantis season 5 this morning when I noticed that in Daedalus Variations
Spoiler:
The alien ship that they had to face off against was able to take three hits from the Asgard beams and not be destroyed. So after two hits its shields were down but instead of being destroyed blown up the blast barely affected them, only taking out there main weapons, so I was wondering how could the ship have survived what would have destroyed a hive? are there shields super and Is the Hull made of some fanwank metal? and wouldn they be a much better foe then the Wraith?
why bring in fanwank immediately? wraith hull is organic, ori had supershields so their hull sucked too probably, and the asurans, well everything blew up their hull so not super either,
my best guess is a superhard material like the asgard had, Nq/Tr/C armor. its supposed to be the hardest they can make. seeing as we can make diamond (only not on a large enough scale), its harder than diamond. and then, we're talking about extremely hard materials. infact unbreakable materials. if the enemy was actually SMART, they would've added not just dumb armor but stuff like polarized or ablative armor aswell.
We've seen Wraith cruisers sustain several direct hits from the Asgard Plasma Beam Weapons so the aliens hull need not be much superior to that. Was the Deadalus fully functional when it fired the beams? They may have been at a reduced power as well.

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."
Didn't they say they could get a few shots off? Those shots they did fire weren't necessarily much weaker than normal.
