Ideas for gate cavalry?

[_Owen_]

Well we know energy can travel through the gate freely with no need for dematerialization, because it is already in a non material state. So the Asgard transporter beam would most probably be able to beam directly through the gate, in fact it may be able to beam into the center of the wormhole, it would be a cool way to check out wormholes! I would have to say, it is far more than theory, logically, it is fact.

so if the beaming technolgy can beam say an alkesh/hatak away (like herurur's that time) then could we say beam anything through the gate, like a warship, or the daedalus?!

Or an advanced attack helicopter

[immhotep]

or the deadalus, with an AAH and F-302's/03's (for those who know what i mean!)

The thing that Stargate Command needs to do is have a Light Infantry reaction force for rapid emergency deployment throught the gates. This force should be about the size and configuration of an Army Infantry Battalion or a Marine Rifle Battalion.

However for heavy forces the SGC working with Space Command should build a space vessels that do the same jobs as the LSU, LHAs and LHDs. Also the corresponding subcraft like a space version of a Landing Craft Utility or LCU and maybe a small craft that combined the protection of a AV-7 or AV-8 with the maneuverability of a helicopter. Say an LCI with vectored thrust for flight and landing and turret mounted armaments to support the troops being carried. The major troop carriers should have the same hyperdrive capabilities as the Prometheous or Daedalus. Yet those using them shoulb be mindful that troop assault ships are not battle cruisers and battle cruisers like the afore mentioned ships are not landing ships. Thusly each vessel has its missions like each SG team is taylored for its mission.

As to a vehicle that could go through a Stargate take a look at the demensions of the LAV vehicles used by the Marines and the Stryker series beginning to be deployed by the Army. The are basically the same chasis with the Stryker stretched to an 8x8 wheel drive configuration and another one would be the old but still useful V-150 or its bigger brother the V-350. Stats for all of these can be found at GlobalSecurity.org on the LAV pages.

how about a translation for the abrieviations?

[Loaf]

how about our own version of an alkesh, but with an asgard hyperdrive a cloak, anchent an human weaponry that can be beamed through the gate. And maybey even small bay for a hummer or armoured truck

[_Owen_]

Yep anything, we could have beamed the Daedalus directly to pegasus, and then if the technology worked quick enough we could have beamed over the ZPM too. You see, this is the stupid thing, theoretically, we can have trillions of fully powered ZPMs right on our doorstep, we just need to slighty alter the Asgard transporter technology to not dematerialize. And then provide it with an energy source to create the ZPMs. But we don't even need to do that, we just need to reset the the ZPMs that we have by unlocking them from their self conatined regions of subspace time and then re locking them onto another position, it is so incredibly stupid, it is like having the key to a door, that locks from the inside, but dying stuck in the room with the door that locks from the inside.

So basically something similar to MEU(SOC)?

[_Owen_]

Yes, you could see it that way. For those who don't know, and MEU(SOC) is a Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable).

They're better than a infantry battalion. They can hit a little harder and have a more flexible response.

[Loaf]

Duh

[_Owen_]

Lol, Duh! Of course duh! duh duh duh duh duh duh, don't forget duh.

do you know what were talking about

Insead of the massive crane lowering something to the Gate room- how about setting up the gate to be tillted so that is horizontal-then at the first advailabe area above the gate that is next to the old silo. construct a garage and crane or platform. Then when they need to deploy vechiles like the tanks Infiranty carriers, the personel will load up in the garage, then the crane will lift the vechile over the gate.

hehehehe- now here's the crazy part of this idea-
Once they are in postion over the gate- the cran will release and they will freefall though the gate. And since you leave the gate on the other side going the same speed you were going when entered-that will be very scary watching an M1A1 flying out of the gate at 29 m/s (est 3 sec fall) and then landing on the ground.

Hmmm, only thing I can see wrong would be the DHD- but othersiwe its just a matter of presice postioning and physics.
