They say in this episode the planet got wiped out by the drones but if so then why haven't other planets such as Novus been previously wiped out by the drones the Novians had used the stargate all the time in fact the Noviuns we find in common decent say they have never even seen the drones before well they give you that idea, in a gateworld podcasts they mention that destiny woke up the drones but if that is true then why is this planet wiped out IT MAKES NO SENSE

I don't think it was particularly clear how long NovuPittsburgh had been abandoned. Certainly the newspaper hadn't even yellowed yet, and it didn't look like nature had reclaimed the city to me.
But the awakening of the Drones, as far as we've seen was in Resurgence. By my estimate that was about two and a half months ago. Enough time to gather dust and start looking desolate, IMO."A society grows great when old men plant trees, the shade of which they know they will never sit in. Good people do things for other people. That's it, the end." -- Penelope Wilton in Ricky Gervais's After Life

Originally posted by KEK View PostNo, they said the gate activations do attract them now that they're chasing Destiny, but there's no indication that it was the gate that attracted them to planet Pittsburgh.

They're attracted to technology in general.
And then they blow it up.
It's quite possible that they were dormant, then the Ursini accidentaly woke the drones up ( poor buggers.. ) and fought a war with them, at the end of which Destiny showed up. Pittsburghplanet may have been on the edge of droney space, or at least in the general vicinity of the area they dwell in, causing it to be destroyed a few years ago during the Ursini-drone war, whereas Novus and most of it's colonies, a bit beyond the edge of dronespace were never destroyed.
Perhaps the planet is pretty far from dronespace, but the drones came upon Pittsburgh by accident, or by chasing Ursini ships etc.
Perhaps Novus is harder to reach for the drones. The blackhole that approached Novus might possibly disrupt their ( subspace ) sensors, preventing them from picking up on the tech and gatetravel.
There are many possibilities why Novus was never attacked

actuall they said the drones can't pick up on those subspace beacons, because those are "several thousand times fainter than the event caused by an active wormhole", like Eli said in Common Descent. If they could pick up on the beacons, the drones would go for planets with gates, regardless of wether the gate was activated or not. They are drawn to the subspace event of an active wormhole. If you use a gate near the drones, they'll be drawn to it like [insert proper bug comparison].
