The drone couldn't count of the support from the person in the control chair. There was no cooperation. Above all Beckett was actually trying to switch the damn thing off.
Added to whatever happens between the mind and the machine, reminding us that we're talking about a doctor who's concerned about saving lives and not destroying any, god knows how this messed up with the weapon.
I think it's fairly easy to excuse the drone's poor accuracy in such conditions, especially when you compare this to the trajectories curves displayed in Lost City or The Tower.

Yes and no. If we take Trinity as an example, a ship like the Daedalus had no problem to withstand the device's bleeding shots, yet those same shots were vaporizing entire chunks of hiveship armor out of the sky.
Assuming the aurora cannons are roughly the same, and considering the idea that I highly doubt such ships can't at least come with power cores as efficient and powerful as the ones found on the 304s, I think that would certainly make those cannons fairly devastating.

It's also doubtful that ancient capships are going to be packing similar firepower to the Arcturus weapons platform. They might be capable of what it managed in this emergency fire mode after McKay had already screwed it up but, as I've explained, that doesn't really seem like all that much when you consider it.
Yes. They'd be far better as pure gun platforms.
But these wraith drones' capacity would be limited. It all depends to the "room" and the power source backing it up.
A modification on an Ark-like wraith device would let it scoop the equivalent of 1000 people.
So that's a lot of lantian squids and other energy bolts.

That's a huge chunk of a capship, nevermind incoming ordnance. There's also the fact that there's no need to store the stuff these things eat so they could just break it down and vent it to space. You could simplify the culling tech and only use the first "break down from matter" stage, skipping the suck in and store stages entirely. This would transform it into some sort of disintigrator beam that just destroyed matter it passed over.
Would probably be more about a lantian warship fighting several hives.
Then sfrweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Chip chop! big chunks beamed out, like someone eating an apple with a fist sized mouth.

Probably, but realistically, this will be a point we'll often hear about.
Maybe a part of the shield is deactivated when the dart enters a stargate. But no. The skin was still active after the crash.
I gues Sheppard's bullets became little drones.

I wish I could take screencaps, because the bolts are just so damn similar. And yes, considering the Keeper's role, she probably was one of those who still had some good toys.
However, darts were overall still weak. Just armed harvesting ships, not real combat ships.

Shouldn't this actually make Rodney something close to a god?
