Of all the known capital ships in the SG franchise from the film to the last episode of SGU, which ones stand the best chance in a war with the automatic attack drones? This is assuming that the conditions of the battle are at least relatively similar to what we've seen Destiny go through.
What seems critical in these battles are point-defense weaponry, since their strategy is overwhelming a target with energy weapons from various directions. From what we know, there seems to be a vast 'fleet' of these control ships and their drones, given that they've managed to blockade every viable fuel stop in the galaxy that Destiny would make a stop at.
So I imagine there are a various factors that would need to be taken into account. Number of available ships, quantity of weaponry, quality of weaponry, shield availability/strength, auxiliary weapon systems, fighter complements, etc.
Off-hand that I can remember, we have:
-Earth's 303 and 304's (including 302 complements)
-Ha'taks (including Glider and Al'kesh complements)
-Hive ships (including Dart complements)
-Wraith cruiser
-Asgard Bilskirnir-class
-Asgard O'Neill-class
-Ori warships (including fighter complements)
-Traveler generational ships
-Lantean Aurora-class battleships
-Asuran cruisers
-City-ships
Any others you can think of. I'm excluding the ships all within SGU simply because we've generally seen them in battle withe drones.
I suspect that actually Ha'taks could be fairly effective simply because their staff canons, IIRC, include main weapons and point-defense. Ordnance-based weaponry would presumably run dry eventually in a battle with the drones.
