Russian BC-303

[Universal Nexus]

lol i agree that everyday people wouldnt pick up on it, but not all of congress and the senate have the security clearance to know about the gate. in the past they have worked around this without congressional oversite (see "Prometheus"), but it to pay for the SGC, prometheus, daedalus, odyssey, the 302's, and all the technology inside them, they cant hide it from congress forever lol

Ahhh, I see your point. Indeed. But I dunno, maybe the smart members of congress have been briefed about it and the "everyday intellect" equivilent congressmen are just left to prattle on endlessly with their partisan squabbles? That's about all I can figure.

And maybe the almighty Plot Device.

And maybe the almighty Plot Device.

*whispers* shh! thats a secret

[drronin112]

Hallowed are the Plot devices.

In the Book of Scripts it is written that When man doth see the show, if he be of intelligence he shalt question the sincerity of the Great writers on high. But if he be of faith, he shalt question not the grand design of the writers on high and their tools the Plot devices...and they shalt live in blissfull ignorance of the plot devices, but shalt revel in them and enjoy them each week without question.

Hallowed be the plot devices...

Look at any modern Russian warship, bristling with weapons, their version of the Prometheus would be much better armed with earth tech, but as the asgard would probably not play ball, would be inferior in sheilding and energy weapons. Be fitted with earth sensors, some goa'uld, naquadah enhanced nukes, rail guns, heavily armoured in lieu of sheilds, ring transporters only, fighters, shuttles, etc

[Cronus]

Colonel Commie (Sorry, I can't remember the russian guys name) said in the season 7 clip show that once the US worked the kinks out of the 303s design, they'd start building their own at half the price.

Yeah, I was just gonna point that out. I thought it was earlier than season 7 though?

Anyway, the Russians are most likely waiting to get the Daedelus's plans....either that or they already have their own ship.... Either way it would be cool to see the fleet of a united Earth kick ass.

[Colonel_Sheppard]

With the recent(and not so recent) news about Russian subs getting stuck on the bottom of the ocean... I'm not to eager to see a Russian ship. Infact, I would pray for the souls on that ship. They could lose pressure and the ship would fall apart from the inside out... or get stuck at the bottom of a Hyperspace tunnel...

Either way, all of the examples of Russian technology I have seen/heard about, I wouldn't volunteer to be on one of those ships.

P.S. I know ships can't really get stuck at the bottom of a hyperspace tunnel... thats a joke for all you slugs out there.

[Cronus]

ROFL.....well a Russian ship wouldn't be that reliable but it would be interesting to think they had built one.....not told the US.....launched it and had it in orbit above earth.....and then the SGC go to destroy it.

[Qasim]

I doubt the russians can afford to build daedalus-class ships

[nimitz]

Why quasimjavid couldnt they.The military is very well funded and everything is still very secretive.Their people would be less likely to find out about it than the american people.And while i dont think theyll build daedulas class ships.More prommies cause their cheaper, smaller,easier to mantain.
Also i reckon the asgard gave america technology to build their own sheilds,hyperdrives,sensors etc.Because im sure Thor couldnt be bothered to constantly fly from otthala(or whereever their homeworld is) to earth.

Interesting..
I would also like to see a russian ship purely so that I can hear 'raise shields and prepare to return fire' in russian

[Freke348]

Since the x-303's use Asgard technology it would seem as if the Russians would have to get it from the Asgard. And the asgard seem reluctant to get involved with anyone besides the SGC. Its probably more likley that they have Russian and people from other countries on a ship that under a US commander like atlantis. I don't think the SGC still gives all alien tech to the other countries.

[Erised]

"Экраны Повышения" Is "Raise Shields" in Russian according to The babelfish. However you pronounce that...I haven't a clue.

But if you want to run all kinds of things through the translator, just search for babelfish and go to the Alta Vista babelfish site. It's fun.

or you could just ask me

and Qasim, stop saying that we can't afford anything BIG. I hate it when people say that we are poor when the only thing they've seen are pictures of poor people who are just as poor as any American could be.

[drronin112]

Well Please Kind Sir...How is it pronounced? Unfortunatly the Local schools don't really offer Russian as a Foreign language otherwise I could learn on my own.

And yeah...I think it's kind of horrible that everyone assumes that Russia is this huge poverty stricken Bolshivik state still. But Sterotypes unfortunatly linger and cold-war propoganda is what most of us grew up with.

Russia is so resouce rich that once they modernise they will be, or could be, as wealthy as the US easily, a slightly lower per capita income is offsett by the larger population.
