    Big mistake from the writers

    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

    Who said using the gate is what attracted them?

        They say the gate is what attracts them to technology in common decent and in this episode.

            the city could have been wiped out years ago and then the drones went to sleep until they were woken up by Destiny.

              Thats true I guess we won't know that for sure until we find out why they went to sleep but it then raises the question of why they never attacked Novus unless they were made after Novus evacuated I can't remember specifically if they say when the drones were made. So you could be on to something their.

                That's a pretty good explanation. The drones didn't get there until after everyone left Novus.

                  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.

                    No, 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 are probably attracted to kawooshes, radio transmissions, and hyperspace jumps.

                        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

                          No it's the subspace beacons that allow gates that are close together to connect to each other. So they have to be in a close distance to pick it up. I remember them saying something about it. Or am I incorrect about this?

                            Correct

                              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].
