    Ancient Fighters

    Do the ancients have fighters like the wraith dart? I mean is the PJ is more like a transport with some cool features and a couple drones. For you people about to ring my neck going the PJ is awsome and stuff calm down and think of this. For a fighter its a big vulnerable target, and not to mention its pretty soft. (As in hull strength.) Darts seem to shread them, and 1 hit completly frys the cloak. Almost every time, ok I know the whole adding to the drama thing but why every time! lol. Well I guess the ancients didn't want/were to full of themselves to believe they need fighters if they don't have any other then a PJ. Oh yea anyone wanna guess the real name of the PJ? Mine is Gateship

    PJ's are still pretty tough though-those Drones can take out Ha'taks, although I think this leaves the PJ open to fighter attacks. Perhaps in future we will see a stronger ship with drones and extra shielding?
    You go ahead, I'll be right behind you (In an F-302)
    And now for a completely unconnected series of random smilies:

        Since so far no other ancient ships are seen or heard from beside the PJ and Atlantis itself, the question can't be answered in anything beside pure speculation.

            Well all we know is that they have the small general use PJ's, they have large battleships, possibly the Aurora being one, and they have lightly armed, If armed at all Transport vessels; like the one that was shot down carrying 300+ people coming to Atlantis in 'Before I sleep' I think it was.

              Why would you develop a fighter class when you have a weapons platform with the manuverability and power of the drones and the shielding technology to stand up to anything?

                  I have bean wondering that to, Helo. They have to have fighters.

                  The U.S., out at sea, have strong weapons plat forms. We also have fighters. You have to have fighters.

                  I think that we found the PJ's because they are stationed around the Gate. The fighters is are something we havn't found yet.

                  And yes I do wonder what they would look like.

                    I'm not so sure. I think the drone weapons we have already seen fulfill the Ancient's need for fighters. They chase down enemy fighters and destroy them every bit as well as a dedicated fighter ship could, and you can carry many more of them than you can fighter craft, and launch them alot faster too. As an added bonus, they are also expendable.

                      Yeh, but u can scout an area with fighters, plus they can be used as bait. Drones can replace them in combat, not everwhere though. And you can out manovour drones in a helicopter (rising Part 1 Major Sheppard)

                        if all you have is weapons plat forms how do you expect to go on the offensive? you guys already downed my army theory, they needed a way to attack. maybe the aurora carried a smaller ship like the deadalus does for f 302s

                          good point. And u need something easily manouverable, like a fighter or scout, not just bulky battleships.

                            This could be why the Ancient lost the war, because they had no fighters!
