Prometheus & Daedalus diff.

It might be possible, but it would be cheaper to build a greater number of small ships than to construct a place to build huge ships undetected and build a huge ship.

[_Owen_]

Size is not necesarily relevant, I would take a small ship that could take on a ship 1000 times its' size over a larger ship anyday.

u know i like the idea of bieng able to use ships if formation, when ever id designed a ship i would maek sure that like if they group together the shield strength would increase tenfold or would be able to go faster.

[_Owen_]

That sounds pretty cool.

i definitly think formations are the way to go, the asgard and other races dont bother because there above thinking below and all that but because weve used formation since roman times were in a position to create high class warships in formation giving us an advantage others may not have, thats if the area 51 guys can find a way to create a sort of link between the ships,a galatic internet (the tokra's last act should be to give us that dam internet thing, its the only thing ive ever wanted from them!).

[aAnubiSs]

You better be damn sure to make it possible to work in numerous formations, since if it requires 4 ships for your formation all you have to do it to destroy one of them to break the formation.

I prefer battle groups of different ships over formations of the same class.

Which "dam internet thing" are you refering to, I do not remember this from the show.

u know in threads and reckoning jacob bring out that handheld internet and show the team what ships are being ripped apart and stuff, it was really cool and he said in answer to jack ' i shouldnt really be doing this, in fact i shouldnt even be here, basicly is a really advanced internet.
i was by far the best thing the tokra have, cept the crystal growing( it looks brill.)

and yes the formations would be very adaptable, anything from 3 ships to a whole 200 strong fleet could be formated to share a large shield or have a ring of outer ships that are stong, and a inner that are weaker or bieng repaired ready to be swapped for damaged outer circle ships, gd system IMO, as long as we have the reapiring capability or even to have the inner lot keep a strong shield up while the outer fire back. or even 3 cloaking 7 shielding and 15 attacking in a 25 stong fleet.

[the Fifth Race]

Those better be some killer shields Immo!....by bunching together groups of ships like that they sure are limiting there attack strategy and might make themselves vulnerable to some kind of super weapon.

[immhotep]

no because if you imagine 3-200+ asgard shield or even atlantis type shields when we are capable, all combined in to a super defense barrier around a fleet i doubt any super weapon could get though and if it did there are still a fleetof ships to deal with.

You're right about that.....I was mainly thinking that it would be a disadvantage if that is the only way there shirlding could defend them in an attack posture. I just can't imagine a fully cloaked fleet hanging in a semi-tight formation (because of shielding) being effective when going on the offensive.

[immhotep]

ah well i was saying that if you brung your shiny new fleet in to battle and it was an ambush, wouldnt you like to be able to pull out a secret weapon that surrounds an entire fleet in with an impenatrable barrier long enough to escape or organise in any formation just by simply huddling together, if you need to escape all you do is disconnect you ships shield from the collective formatiions shield output capacity and cloak your ship, then you pass out of the formation and the shieldand hyperspace it out of there.continue until the formation is small enough to join together and create a hyperspcae window to fit whats left, our ships wont be that large and if atlantis(huge) can create a window im sure a reasonable small fleet can do the same focusing whateva create the window to the same point and have the same destination at the same time.

[the Fifth Race]

Awesome Immo!...I'll buy that scenario. That's a pretty cool idea.

Oh that explains it, I have not seen Reckoning yet, I live in Canada and the chanel that is furthest ahead where I live is Space, it is only at "Citizen Joe" which happens to be airing later today.

Recckoning part I is next week! I don't think it was threads, I caught that episode when I was in Florida, and I don't recal any internet device.
