    wraith hive ships

    just a thought if the wraith hive ships are really living thing y doesnt someone come up with a biological weapon to destroy them

    They arn't totally biological, they jsut have biological components. I'd imagine the hiveships more as a group of different living creatures working together on an artificial frame.

      It is certainly a possibility. However seeing as how the wraith are extremely resilient against disease it would have to be one hell of a weapon and even then it wouldnt act fast enough. Also seeing as different hives dont really tend to hang out that much i dont see it being transmitted very well, so u would have to attack each and every hive ship individually. that kind of defeats the purpose of a biological weapon.

        yea but wat if they made a virus like the ancients did in 1 of the eps of sga
        with the nano bots i think saw that ages ago

        just a thought never would happen as it would reck the show unless they get a new enemy

          Again, it would only infect single hives at a time. And no matter what a virus would still be slower than a nuke. WHat u have to understand is the reason for using biological weapons is to wipe out the threat as much as possible which is done by transmission. Transmission, which would be very unlikely and too slow at best from hive to hive. Each hive has its own territory, so they hardly ever come into contact with each other except on rare occasions when food is scarce and they are forced to share territories. But even then seeing as wraith from different hives do not actually interact, quarantine would be very easy and effective to implement.

            A strong possibility that this was the weakeness that the ancients found in wraith technology. It possible that a virus would be a good weapon to us especially when there is civil and a food shorteage. And the virus could spread by the wraith themselfs. This how I see it working you infect one hive vessel with virus just after they have finish culling a planet. See full up with nice fresh humans to eat, a other hive then comes to the rescue, as this virus, could be slow reacting, disableing there life support and the engines last, and every thing else as random. When the hive vessel comes and pay a visit suddenly the virus stops and lay dorment, when the hive ship sends over a assult team they are infected with out knowing. The virus lays dorment for several months, only activating when they encounter a other hive vessel or a other wraith vessel. slowly the virus slowly spreads to all hive vessels. Once the most of the wraith ships are infected with the virus, the virus will only activate when a certain number of vessel are infected. Nano technology probably the easies to design, it could even be base on the hot zone virus, but this could be done with a biology virus to. Maybe we could get the aschen to design the virus for us, say in trade for some more stargate addresses.

              It was said in that episode that the Ancients did not create the virus

                then who created it the wraith to kill humans which they needed to feed on and didnt effect the ancients
                or the ancients to kill the humans so wraith will have no food or maybe it was made to kill wraith


                and it can spread quiet easyly dont the hive ships meet up to talk about crap
                or cause there nano bots couldnt they diesign it to take a dart and fly to the closest hive ship and effect that ship and so on

                  How do we know it wasn't the Ori that created the virus?

                    It is very rare that 'the wraith would meet up to talk about crap' or even come to each others rescue. They are not that friendly nor caring. Im not saying avirus wouldnt work. Im just saying it would probably only work the first few times u tried it and then after that the wraith would be even more cautious making the spread even more slower.

                      So you would be introducing the virus a little bit more. And for good measure, put a self destruct chain in the virus so as not to allow the virus to mutate to threaten us as well.

                      Spoiler:
                      An interesting thing is, did the race that invent the virus, are they hostile? Did they invent the virus to create the Wraith and use the infected and turn them against the humans?

                        or what if they made a virus that highjacks the hive ships and then like cuts life support then spreads the virus to other hive ships

                          we still sont know much about thw wraith technology, or the wraith themselves...
