Ideas On How To Increase 304 Production

[stargater1990]

the first idea i have is to give the plans to other nations besides just russia that way we wouldnt have to foot the bill for the 304 but we get more.

also an offworld manufacturing plant would help if it was on a planet with abundant supplies of trinium and a mine that way they could build the body of it and then put the basic systems in it such as hyperdrive and navigational systems and then they could fly it back to earth and finish the finer points or they could do all that on the planet. the reason i think it takes so long is because they have to mine the trinium off world and then haul it through the gate in order to use it but if they manufactured on site then it might speed up the process. they could place these plants on numerous worlds

what do you think?

Well we've already discussed how to increase ship production 1 way was to get a few select countries to build certain parts and modules then beam them to other facilities on Earth for final construction.

There are several huge problems with building the shipyards on other worlds.

Firstly you'll need more ships to defend the planet plus other defenses such as shield generators otherwise a Lucian Hatak can destroy the highly valuable ship in 1 barrage.

Secondly you'll need to make an entirely new infrastructure for these shipyards which will be hard considering that these new facilities will require huge amounts of matirials to be sent through the gate and the gate will become a overused and unable to preform its other duties.

Thirdly If built on Earth its harder to detect and destroy before any ships or the weapons platform can respond.

Fourth Means disclosing the stargate project to more people.

Fith someone can get onto the planet easier and steal the ship just before we get it off its more unlikely to happen on Earth as it will be harder to detect from the other industrial sites on the planet.

if we cloak the shipyard then it realy wont be much of a problem as long as the right security precausions are taken and the base is kept top secret. and as for the materials, well, the trinium is what were building it off world for and we could use the asgard matter energy conversion tech to make some of the materials. and as for someone stealing it ....well its already been proven that the ships are no more safer on earth than anywhere else (promethius incident)

logical: have europe and australia build parts of the 304 [europe with its countries can easily keep it secret][australia can hide it easily aswell], and then have a 304 or beam sattelite beam the stuff back and fort[ materials to the countries, parts to america]. if america produces the expensive alien stuff, and assembles the 304, you can produce em much faster. europe can say they build stuff for the ESA, and what does it matter that they produce metal plates and beams and engine parts and such? its all for ESA and so they cover it up with extraordinary ease. europe would produce the basic craft, so all made could be easily used for existing space shuttels, thus easy cover up. australia could make other systems, and also say its for space shuttles and cargo missiles. because they produce stuff thats common, and earth based [and alien upgraded/inspired]. america would then spread contracts for their stuff over their country, and have the beam cannons made by the oddy's computer core. the cover up would be terribly easy. the stuff produced could be ditched somewhere at a believable location, and be beamed over to america and have new materials beamed back.

go to other dimensions and steal ships

The best thing would be to write in the economic and resources market boom of India and China (both having sufficient population for labour as well) and write in saying that the American Airforce has signed up these countries for the mass production of the Daedalus class ship...

For future writings I believe this would be best... it also allows the cross over of our reality and the stargate universe reality...

The other possibility is to inject Asagard technology or construction techniques found whilst going through the information added to the Apollo (i think thats the right ship)

[Unbreak]

It`s the oddisey that has the asgard core.
As for using it`s tech, I`m all for it.. Or, as I said in another topic, "we" should completely rethink the 304, I mean, now we have "all" the asgard tech, so we should go for it... ( and add some latean tech that Rodney is so used to )

304's are incredibly cheap to make, the materials to make them are not plentiful. that is probably the main reason for the delay, plus the need to keep everything secret.

in real life, r&d required to make something remotely close to a 304, trillion+ dollars. mass production=$100+ billion each easy.

[Unbreak]

Humm, I guess they costed 4 billion or something right ? But if you stop to think.. The people who worked on the project, were already on the payroll, the materials arent from earth, so they use air force personal to get it in another planet. This is what reduces the cost from a real world, where the gov would buy the thing done.
And spending 1 trillion on a secret project would be hard to cover =p

Y don't they get DR Mckay to make team of replicator's and in there code, program them to build these 304's and a uninhabited plant in our galaxy.

That way we would have more ships cheaper costs and cos it is in our galaxy we would be the only one's that know about it

Plus the ship yard would have automatic weapon platforms on them with a outer space radar system. which can be deactivated by ship or Manual ( someone goes through the gate first and deactivates it with a conformation code when the ship contacte's him/her

Plus cos some people don't like the replicator's cos you could change there program code , you could get DR mckay to write a encryption code to change it on a modulating frequency.

As that would be seen as slave labour....as it is.

The idea of having an off world production facility was slammed so early, we have multiple off world bases...including Atlantis.

It was a good idea, remember that the alpha site is constructed in a mountain to increase the bases defence capability. Let’s think positively people after the timeline was restored from continuum we may already have better construction abilities.

The idea of a shared construction program between nations is a more “realistic” option, realistic for a science fiction program. The German company Airbus did a similar program for their new mammoth aircraft.

Personally I would like to see a sleeker vessel not as heavily armed, a frigate/science vessel built.

[Bray]

Errm Airbus is French, based out of Toulouse, France....and yeah they did for the A380 parts were emade all over Europe, the Wings were made in Wales, the Engines in England the actual fusilage in Germany etc

It's obviously possible if the world knows about it...but you can't just ship the nose of a 304 across international waters and keep it a secret, they would have to be built in one country and kept hidden until launch.

[Merlin1701]

Don’t pick up the finer points. France, Germany…same thing.

The main point makes sense and why dose everyone worry about moving things around the world…beaming technology!
