Default Re: Gateworld Virtual Fleet 3.0!

Me and David have been talking about this and that behind the scenes, mainly ZPMs and we've come up with numbers...mainly him lol.

Using various means we've come up with;

10^26 joules
10^27 joules
10^28 joules- I think is the best value, bar the planet destroying one
For a ZPMs energy.

10^28 would destroy 3/4 of the planet and obliterate Mars completely according to David. Also using those 3 figures we were able to come up with Wraith weapon yields. By dividing etc...So if the ZPM had each of these values the corresponding Wraith yield would be;

10^26 joules = 400 megatons
10^27 joules = 4 gigatons
10^28 joules = 40 gigatons

Thats using the siege fleet and assuming when Mckay said days he meant a full 7 days, it could be less than that but its doubtful its more than that.

We're also assuming a rate of fire from the fleet of 100 shots a second, which is pretty high as well.

For reference 3 days would yield;

10^26 = 936 megatons
10^27 = 9.4 gigatons
10^28 = 93.6 gigatons.

The figure of 10^28 comes from the shield holding under water for 3333 years with the water pressure.

Anyway, I just wanted the numbers down so I can find them again lol.

Using these numbers we could work out shields for Tau'ri ships too...If we felt so inclined.
