Drones

[Shylodog]

When? What time? I never heard that.

When the Kino was giving them their first look at Pittsburg. Eli told Young that the Novans had been sending out colonists for hundreds of years, and based on ideologies, isolation, etc, that's they may have varying levels of technology. The part about a penal colony was pure speculation on my part.

I don't see how you guys can compare the drones to either the borg or the replicators. The borg were so much more. They sought perfection. The replicators also had character. They wanted to be like the ancients that made them. The drones just want to kill kill kill.

Only some of the Pegasus Replicators wanted to be like the ancients. Most of them wanted to destroy all that the Ancients created and loved. The Milky Way Replicators just sought to replicate.

The Reps were separate from the Asurans who wanted to emulate the Ancients..

They were referred to as human-form replicators.

Yes that is sort of the point. There was something going on there. Some power struggle. But nothing of the sort with the drones. They're all just the same lifeless machines.

Just like the MW replicators.

You know what doesn't make sense to me is this. The drones are out to destroy all technology so whoever invented them has a thing against any civilization with technology. Yet the drones themselves are also technology. Why don't they destroy themselves?

foreign technology*

Destiny is not a military ship, it's an old rusty science ship made by a pacifist civilization. It's not surprising that drones are dangerous to Destiny.

[garhkal]

True dat.. Heck it seems that until the Ancients encountered the wraith, they were VERY pacifistic in their ways.

[GoodSmeagol]

Flawed logic. There are hundreds of drones per engagement. It's easy to win when you zerg rush your enemy. They don't have to be superior, just more numerous.

lmao zerg rush
Attack a planetary fortress with 200 lings. A good 150 of them will die a horrible death. However even with their small 4 dmg per attack they WILL kill it if you attack it with enough zergligns pretty fast too.
*Drones vs Destiny

Fly in 3 Brood Lords, they will sit and shoot at the PF for much longer then the 200 zerglings would have.
They will leave alive once the PF is dead tho.
*Blue MS vs Destiny.


Sorry I just hadda draw out 'zerg rush;

If you consider Ancient level on the same level as Destiny, then I'd still treat them as inferior. Their command ship was beaten down easily by a few shots from the main cannon. What makes them dangerous is their numbers.

Yeah their numbers but, after season 2, it was clear that there are ALOT of command ships in that galaxy, each command ship are equipped with hyperdrive, with that many of command ship, i can safely assume the creators of the drones, are as advanced or more advanced than the ancients, with that many of command ships the civilization that created them must have been a galactic empire which can span multiple galaxies. Yes any ship youve seen from SGA- AND SG1 decimates the command ship. Do you seriously believe that the race that built them have no battleship?

[garhkal]

Depends on why they had the drones in the first place.. And i doubt they were in more than 1 galaxy.
