On an ontopic note: Yes, apparently the Stardrive will acheive faster than light travel, if it were not, it wouldn't have been very efficient to build it into Atlantis at all, it would have taken them likely thousands of years to reach the Pegasus galaxy. I would assume it is a hyperdrive, as that is the most common type of faster than light travel used in Stargate, all though it would be interesting if it were something different.
Thanks to whichever mod took care of this.

I thought this was a fairly obvious fact personally.
So, seriously.. does that make the Lightdrive faster than the hyperdrives then?

First of all, thank you immhotep for the wonderfully polite reply. @ NakedJehutyV2, the hyperdrive is a faster than light drive, I like to consider it a relative faster than light drive but it still takes you faster than the speed of light, sort of. @ Esquin, you are probably right, they probably do consider the Stardrive to be the sublight and faster than light engines, but it's possible they do have separte drives to do the sublight and faster than light travel.
I find it likely that the Stardrive is a hyperdrive, a very large hyperdrive, but still a hyperdrive none the less. IT is possible it is something else, but if it were it would likely have to be soemthing so large that it couldn't viably fit into a regular ship, otherwise they would have put it in their ships, if it were better than a hyperdrive.

I have to disagree, i think the stardrive is a hybrid engine system, we know the hyperdrive engine can be simply a window generator and that you still need sublight drives to proppell you through the window, see "grace" .
So my theory is that the stardrive is simply a sublight engine that can open and sustain its own hyperspace windows; so the sublight is a hyperdrive engine in the sense that the sublight itself creates the hyperspace window, instead of another drive altogether.sigpic

FTL and Hyperdrives in theory must be the same. FTL is impossible without using the hyperspace theory they already use in Stargate.

I am with Esquin on this one, I think the Stardrive is really just a collective term for all of the systems that are involved with flying the city ( inertial dampeners, artificial gravity, sublight and hyperspace engine, and shields)
I do think it is funny though that on all of the episodes, they never actually look at (or even talk about, other than to say that they are there) the engines in the city, I realize that they are busy, but there are a lot of scientists on that city that you would think would go right to them (Mckay for example)

Its funny how I dont think the 3 ZPMs would have enough power to transport Atlantis from Earth to the planet it currently resides on. Did they have to stop to change the ZPM's? Everytime they've gone near the Stardrive it nearly overloads the one ZPM we have just from preparing the engines!
