Atlantis aiding Milky Way

Dude, just look at where the sublight drives are on the two.

Do you have other screen caps? It's kind of dark.

[randy]

I dont think you know what your saying.

Okay.

They dont have the wing-like things at the back, the engines are totally different and the body shape is different. It'd be like saying the Deddy and the Prommie look the same man.

Thanks for posting. I still can't find a significant difference, other than a wider frame in the front of the hive ship, which would becomes negligible once you shrunk the ship to the size of a cruiser. I'm not debating whether or not they look exactly the same (which they don't), but the differences become somewhat negated once you put them into equal dimensions; and to add to that, the angle, distance which the show puts them in.

Here's a schematic of a hive. Just so you know, the cruisers can attach to hives. One each on those arm looking things and another at the front of the ship. I suspect they attach using those spikey looking things.

Kudos, do you have a clear shot of a cruiser?

Those three things above the Daedalus are cruisers.

[Harekin]

And they look very little like Hives.

Thanks for posting the screen caps of the cruisers. As I explained before, while I agree there are differences in construction - for instance, the broad aspect of the anterior of a hive ship, and the placement of the sublight engines (or hyperdrive) - the majority of the ships' design is similar, in my point of view.

I wonder, freyr's mother, could you post a screen cap of the wave of cruisers the Daedalus attacked in season 2 premiere? Or were they hive ships? Thanks.

Here are a few more pics of Cruisers from condemned.

I had a hard time finding many really CLEAR pics from The Siege Pt 3, but here's a few:

Why dont they just send the Daedalus/Orion/Puddle Jumpers to help the invading Ori? I'm sure if any ship can give the Ori a run for their money, it's the Orion.

good point like the others has said they wont risk it over 60 hives are in the pegasis and if they do decide to show up there gonna need as much help as they can although Atlantis drones have been replunged dosnt mean they can kill all the hives as 9x hives would of destroyed the sheild within days so they need them
