Sheilds on the Daedalus and Prometheus

[Stampie]

could be some sort of power related issue.

Daed is way bigger then prom.
DanielJ is way bigger/advanced then the original asgard ships

Would be logical to assume there are 2 different types of shieldgenerators wich would mean there were 2 different powerrequirements. Quite possible, it isnt possible to make a smaller version of the new shieldgenerator, just because of its energy consumption.

Its like fitting a nuclear reactor in a tin can, it aint possible. Would explain the different colors.

illogical, not impossible. You could prob put a nuclear reactor in a tin can, but it would produce hardly any electricity

well that dont make sense as the prommie woz upgraded with newer shields

It was upgraded. They didn't replace the shield with a new one.

maybe they have different sheilds

well, obviously Welcome to gateworld, i suppose, since it's your first post

I think i'll have to concur with one of the previous posters, Prommy had an old asgard shield or something goa'uld based, which was slaped on as a last minute add, while the 304s, which have more intergrated tech, have the latest asgard shields, for maximum protection and comfort

color is probably a side effect of them working on different frequencys, which could be a sign of how much power is going in - more juice, higher frequency.

wasn't the Prometheus constructed (retro-fitted) from the ship in 'Nightwalkers' and a Al'Kesh?

eum... no?
it was 100% man-made, in Area 51.

I agree. The change in tech. between the 303 and the 304 is a major thing.

Was the Prommie not a crazy mixture of Asgard and Goa'uld tech with something human tossed in, and the 304's are basically Asgard tech (shields, weapons, hyperdrive).

Or perhaps it's to show shield strengh to the viewers. Asgard, Ori and 304 are sort of bluey white and are super strong. Goa'uld and Prommie shields are sort of orangey and aren't that strong in comparison.

[boyd18]

is there any evidence to show that shield color represents the shield strength? because Atlantis has orange tinted shields and it is quite possible the strongest shield we've seen so far...

[oniel193]

i think they change colour depending what hits it and the force behind it and the strain the shield has on it after an impact

Incorrect ancient shields were a reddish colur (on there warships) and they were facing off with wraith ships

It is the peoples favourite colur lol i liked the red colur more

[Character]

Shield color is most likely just for looks, asgards are blue-ish, ori are white, ancient ships are usualy orange, like the gould ones, but atlantis ranges from white-ish to blue, puddle jumpers are blue-ish too, IIRC.

No there is no evidence I was just tossing some suggestions out

I prefer blue like the 304/Asgard.
