The complete guide to the X-303/BC-303/Prometheus

[rarocks24]

It's the first Sci-Fi space ship I've ever seen with seatbelts....

It has seatbelts? LOL. Actually, I think the ship in the redone Lost In Space had seatbelts. I think one of the ships in Event Horizon had them too.

Spoiler:

The Odyssey and the Orion the 2 new Battlecruisers that premiere in the second half of the seasons 2 and 9

where the hell have you been RA???

I knew about the Odyssey, I didn't know about Orion. Will they have seatbelts as well.

So here's a new question for all you knowledgable types. Just how long are the Prometheous and Daedalus?

[aAnubiSs]

Since we know the length of a Slammer missile, and hence know the size of the F-302, we also know the size of the hangar doors on the Daedalus, from which we can calculate a size for the Daedalus.

Too bad I don't have any useful program installed

Assuming the hangar doors on the Prometheus are the same size as the ones on Daedalus we can also calculate a size for the Prommie.

Ya know... the only offensive weapons I can recall any Battlecruiser ever using are the Rail-gun implacements, (slow) missiles, and the F-302 fighters. I have yet to recall seeing any energy based weapons being used on any Battlecruiser.

I do recall Thor mentioning that the Asgard were giving us Shields (which we've seen) and weapons... but I've never yet seen any of those weapons. Where, oh where could they be?? At the moment, the most effective ship-to-ship weapon the Battlecruiser has are its Rail-guns. The use of the Teleporter to beam nukes was effective for a while, but with the countermeasures, it's useless.

For the time being, the only thing I've seen the Battlecruisers having going for them are excellent shields, and very fast hyperdrive engines. Offensively, I'm not yet impressed, or convinced that a Battlecruiser could really defeat a Ha'tak mothership. A Ha'tak could easily shoot down the missiles a BC-303 could launch, and I'm not sure how effective the Rail-guns would be against Goa'uld shields. On the otherhand, it would take considerably many shots from a Ha'tak (as seen in Lost City) before the shields would fail, and if it came to running, Earth ships (thanks to the Asgard) are much faster than their Goa'uld counterparts.

That's a pretty comprehensive guide.

Sorry, but I am tired so I'm just gona post the thread on another forum where we were discussing this. Basically used the 12' or 12' 6" lenght of the amraam to work out sizes.

I have looked into this and did some scaling from pics and est. of different lengths, it looks like the ships are around +200 meters. We will not know the real number untill we get a tech book from the Stargate series or from the series eps.

[Sleeper919]

What I'd like to know is, how effective are Earths rail guns against other ships?

Do they do any significant damage to shields?

[ancientaction]

ok. to answer the major confusion on page three of this thread:

**clears throght**

""ITS A TV SHOW"".

and no. rail guns do not do much damage to other ships. loads of damage to small craft like fighters. but to capital ships, it does damage, but minimal.

Janus could build a better f-304

In Off The grid The Oddysseywas ablr to do damage to the Lucian Alliance motherships in a combat. Our ships were designed to be a fight the Goauld. The Daedelus could probably hold its own against any Hatak but the ships the Ori and Wraith fielding are far larger and more advanced than anything the System Lords were able to throw at us.
