Of all the crazy and obsurd ideas that the SG teams have come up with, theres one im actually very surprised they didnt think of: why not strap a hyperdrive to a nuke.
if they can fit a hyperdrive on a 302, surely they could whip up a little rig to make nukes long range weapons of mass destruction?
you could hit any planet you like, just drop it out of hyperspace in orbit and let gravity do the rest, or scare the heck out of a fleet gathering to strike.
It could aslo be used to take out large ships on the spot, and shields wont get in the way, sam came up with a way to send a 302 (or was it a deathglider?) into hyperspace for just a brief moment to bypass anubis' shield and take out that cliche cooling vent, the thing that made that plan so zainey was that she had to be very precise so they didnt end up inside the ship, but with a nuke, wouldent that be the point to end up inside the ship?
also another usefull ... use... of hyper drives that actually WAS used in the series. the replicators strapped a hyperdrive to a stargate and sent it orbiting lantia, and used it as an exit point for thier mega death beam. the sg teams could have done similar, useing the gate to hit remote targets from a safe distance, of course since we have lesser tech, we would be bound by 38 minutes of launch time, but thats more than enough time to fire off some powerfull weapons.
also brings up another interesting point : if you could get a stargate to drop out inside a star with a shield up and get it to activate, you could remotely obliterate stars like they did that one time to knock out most of apophis' fleet
i get that theres a reluctance to use nukes, and blowing up a star is a bit... imorral? but still it became obvious to me the moment they used the hyperdrive to get the stargate away from the earth before it went kaboom (epic anchient weapon that caused an overload in stargates from a safe distance)
point is it the hyperdrive could have been used for much more... interesting things than simply moveing ships. any thoughts on the matter?
