There were so many empty replicator warships that the team could have stolen if they had waited a little longer to blow the planet up. Some marines could have beamed aboard some of them and nicked a few. Atlantis could use a small fleet of Aurora battleships against the wraith.

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't they need to destroy the blob quick, so that the nanites wouldn' thave enough time to regain "conscienceness," to stop a Godzilla Replicator? If so, that would the best reason to get out, quick, fast and in a hurry. Would have been nice to see them get a couple Aurora ships, though.

I didn't look like the nanties left their ships by going through the door. They all just streamed through the bottom of the ships and would have done some serious damage on the way through. Even if there was time to beam onto them I doubt they would have been able to fly them clear of the planet in time.sigpic

Even if all the replicator ships were intact, there's no guarantee we could transport people over and be able to hyperdrive out in time. The military doesn't arbitrarily flip a coin with it's personnel like that.
ZPMs were also expected to be detonated and not available for looting, and transporting people around a collapsing structure in enemy territory during a battle is just as foolish as going for ships. Only possible way would be to attempt beaming them directly, but we've never seen a direct beaming of non-living objects without some kind of beacon attached.

As far as no ZPM's, from the time Rodney solidified the blob to sink and the planet began to blow up was very short. They didn't have time to beam up any ZPM's. Besides, we've never beamed a ZPM up while still engaged and generating power. How do you know that wouldn't have exploded it?

2 explanations, 1 the salvageable ships still had active shields which we cant beam through. and 2 the ships we could beam to had major structual damage and we specifically targeted their hyperdrives, they probably didnt know which ships were capable of hyperspaceing out.
The ZPMs are a different story. We know we can pretty much pinpoint their locations with the 304s. and they had a minute or so to retrieve them, and in lifeline sheppard needed only a few seconds to do the retrieving. That was probably the worst wasted opportunity.Their white flags are no match to our guns!!
