Orion vs. Ori Mothership

[Crazy Tom]

they were still pretty good to wipe out over 100,000 of people of populated worlds lol

Remember that all those people were humans with no spaceships of their own, though. It's not all that impressive a feat when you think about it, really.

.......Whose pinacle of weapons technology was the bow and arrow.

[SpinningChevron]

I think it would be too close to call, each ship may do enough damage to each other that neither ship may survive, so I would put a 50-50 chance on either ship.

Ripple you dont need a zpm to fire drones. They only needed it in the outpost to power the chair.

Drones were designed to be fired by a ZPM (unless talking about a handful as opposed to hundreds). Just because McKay can operate the rigging two Mk. 2 Naq Gens to nearly explode doesn't mean that ZPMs weren't used to operate drones. The whole point I was making was that the Lanteans used ZPMs to fire drones....

Everything else you said was rebuffed by the preceding posts.

[wise one]

drones work in a wierd way, they dont have a internal power source, its more like wireless power transfer like in 'the tower' when mckay depleted the zpms and the drones just lost power and fell out the sky

so maybe there is technology that could maybe jam this theorectical drone power thing, maybe like some pulse wave vala had on the modified cargo ship to disable the alkeshes, something on the lines of that

"Larrin's aurora wasn't even full-capacity. You can't compare weaken Ancient ships with the Ori ships."

Larren's Aurora was indeed full capacity, she even mentions she has a full compliment of drones.

Every single Aurora that has been shown would stand little or no chance against an Ori ship. Evidence on hand indicate the Auroras would be beaten.

Now if you are trying to create a fanwank Aurora vs. Ori ship...That is something else.

To an unbiased fan, the outcome is quite apparent.

And drones are not really effective against Ori ships (watch AoT, and alternative universe confronation). So need to fire 100+ volleys at once (many times) and quickly before the Ori ship annihilates with that awesome main cannon (firing 1 shot per second!).


Now Atlantis vs. Ori ship, then you can say that Atlantis will clobber the Ori ship.

Ok nm I thought you said they needed a ZPM to be fired. I didnt know you were talking about hundreds. And JSpuddlejumper where in AoT due they use drones against an ori mother ship and what is alternative universe confronation?

At the end of the episode though:
SHEPPARD: Yeah, but still ... You gonna stick around and let my guys check this place out?

LARRIN: Well, they already gave us a head start when they got us battle-ready.

Kinda implies that there was still a bit of work to do. Remember the bridge got shot off a few episodes previously, they could not have possibly fixed that.

[wise one]

if wraith ships could destroy arouros back in the ancients day, in return part one the captain said the criusers proved too much for them

whether it was alot of them we dont know, but an ori secondary pulse weapon would be enough to take down an arouro class ship

"LARRIN: Well, they already gave us a head start when they got us battle-ready."


The key phrase is "BATTLE-READY".


"Remember the bridge got shot off a few episodes previously, they could not have possibly fixed that."

Larren's people have been working with ships for millenia. Earth now has the capibility to patch up any ship: From Atlantis downwards. If the bridge is not ready, then the ship wont be remotely close to being 'battle-ready'.


Thus, the Asuran's Aurora's and Larren's Aurora shows the fighting capabilities of the Aurora's thus far. Which are definitely below the Ori ships and the upgraded 304's.

I don't get why you think Larrin's Aurora performed badly... it was able to survive the battle in the midsts of dozens of enemy warships, destroy at least one (we only took out two or three with our two ships, remember...), and still was ready to fight again when it was all over.

On the other hand, our ships' shields were about to fail when the battle finally ended, so obviously Larrin's ship held up better. This is reinforced by the fact that 304s are faster and more agile, so we could dodge incoming fire far more easily than her vessel could, yet she came out in as good shape if not better.

The drone weapons would go through the shield and i dont know how the shield could withstand and ori beam, if it had a zpm then they would probably win, but not to sure.
