It has been established that the Puddle Jumper systems can be manually manupulated to activate its shield systems as shown in the 'defiant one'. However why hasn't anyone ever attempted to bring them online ever again. If Mcay is anywhere near as good as he thinks he is surely he could activate a the PJ's shield function so that people with the ATA gene can use it.

Originally posted by Steve_the_Wraithwell yeah but the point is the Puddlejumpers shield take up so much energy while in use that the Puddlejumper runs out of power while the cloak doesn't use much power at all
The reason it was taking so much energy in that episode is b/c they were submerged in water. If they aren't being submerged, the shield can last much much longer. Also, lets say they were under attack, and constantly being hit. They would have a better chance of escaping with the cloak than the shield especially if they were constantly hit, their energy would be depleted.

yeah the wraith dont have any shields, so them materialising one just to defend another race's ship is unlikely. plus the ancients were the maasters, possibly even the first creators of shield technolgy, if every craft didnt have either a permanent or the capability to harbour a shield i would be surprised.
The PJ shield will not be that strong, IMO a little stronger the the teltak ships, and looking back they were only ever usefull when they decloaked and were prepping for hyperlaunch...which the PJ's cant do so what would be the point in having a shield to defend when they can havea cloak to not get attacked..?sigpic

The shield in 'defiant one' was certainly ancient in design. The wraith do not even have shield technology there is no way a lone wraith soldier would have been able to come up with a shield to defend an enemy ship when their whole empire cant even do that to their own ships. How could the wraith who are far behind the ancients technologically install something the ancients themselves did not install in their puddle jumpers. The shield definitely is a modified function of the puddle jumper. The thing that blocked the asguard beams are most likely to have been a frequency jammer. An action that even the Tau'ri are capable of doing (the episode 'Chimera' S-7).
