Hi all,
i really like Stargate SG1 but theres 1 thing that has really bugged me which has 2 parts...
1. The defence of Cheyenne Mountain is completely umm rubbish.
2. The teams all just run into the gate and run straight when they exit.
Point 1:
Seriously the only defence in the show they have is the iris...whenever it is open it is guarded by marines right in front for the gate. Further more whenever there is incoming fire they evacuate the gateroom leaving the room completely defenceless.
Given that it is a show I wouldnt expect perfect tactics but come on the flaw is bleeding obvious...
solution (if the room is not bigger - idealy the size of the gateroom should be at least 30m to an exit...more like 100):
as it was 1994 not massively modern tech weapons were availble but still some serious gear could be used...which could be upgraded over the years.
There should be weapons platforms elevated and to the sides of the gate in a 30 degree from horizontal at front line. also on the floor in an arrow shape. 2x 20mm cannons for anything heavier and at least 2x 50 cals for infantry. An armour piercing anti tank gun (not explosive) elevated above and facing the gate.
Separate bunkers for at least 10 man guard facing from the sides.
all bunkers shielded for em and armoured
etc etc
Id feel much safer like that...
Point 2
The straight run from the gate has in more than a couple of occasions meant that incoming gate fire injured people returning and in the control room...
solution the gate is much lower than the control room and the ramp is a bit steeper and allows extraction from an angle of the gate either side.
They could have achieved this by digging deeper...creating a platform for the gate at a lower height from the control room and also heavy weaponary are at better positions...
Having the control room directly infront of the gate at that height is completely unsafe...
anyway thats my rant...
anyone else have thoughts
cheers
