Asuran Auroras weak because of no ZPM's (Spoilers)

[RedWolf]

Shields need not be blown by brute force.

Remember the Wraith are telepathic. Especially queens.

If they were able to capture a significant Ancient with knowledge of their ships or technology like a core navigation system tracking Auroras then they would be able to make a trap.

The Wraith knowing the existence of ZPMs would indicate a breakthrough in intelligence during the war with the Ancients.

[thekillman]

its not having the wraith zpm's, but the wraith using the zpm's to clone them several thousand times to get a massive amount of them, to defeat the ancients. remember, the outposts in SOW was capable of cloning wraith several thousands at a time, and could so in a few daws. with some simple math, the wraith were outnumbering ancients in days, and had a massive army in weeks,and could defeat the ancients in years. imagine how many wraith you need. the outpost could make em so fast...

[Mister Oragahn]

Come on. Three people can pilot a hiveship, if not just one person with Wraith DNA.

Why need billions of cannon fodder when all that matters is starships, not how many meat bags you put inside?

[ijffdrie]

they flew the ships, but i dont think one person can efficiently fight

[wise one]

even though they had coinfedence in their tech todd did say they went out to get wraith

so they didnt always wait for the wraith to come to them

[JSPuddlejumper]

It made no sense.

The ships would do so much better with a ZPM: for sure their shields would be much stronger.

Afraid of the ZPM being captured? Anybody heard of self-destruct mechanisms?


A ship with a ZPM can be captured, it shields can be depleted, of course it will take much more punishment.


Yeah, cloning billions of Wraith, wtf is the point? They needed way more Hives. Now if we imagine that they can GROW HIVES, and the ZPMs were used for that purpose as well...

fantastic!

i never even thought of that

yeah it makes sense
the wraith tech is mostly organic(allies)

so using a zpm to grow hive parts, dart parts, and warriors to man them makes sense

great idea

[JSPuddlejumper]

Yeah, that is the only way I can seen them winning. Because making billlions of clones is not enough.

They ambush a Aurora with a ZPM. Then they use it to build clones, Hives, cruisers...Who in turn ambush even more Aurora's with ZPM's. Tide of war turns.

The Lanteans were peaceful and hadn't had any real enemies in millenea until they encountered the Wraith, they don't think strategicly like the Wraith and/or humans do.

Vala,

[2ndgenerationalteran]

TODD: The Lanteans were powerful but careless. Believing their ships were unbeatable, they sent them deeper and deeper into Wraith-controlled territory, trying to weed us out. It took months, but eventually we were able to capture three of them, each one powered by a ZeeP.M.

in months the tide of war changed, not years so its safe to say they used those ZPMs for some really productive things. I like the growing ships idea, before the ancients got a firm grasp on what was happening the tides changed.

Vala,

thansk you too

great thought

i can see it now the wraith begin the war
hardly any ancients care
they dont see any real threat
look at how they treated the asurans
before they know it their overwhelmed on all fronts
having to then begin retreating and planing their escape

we all know the rest

BECAUSE THEY FED ON THE LANTEANS?

[avidffan]

wow that was quick?

[2ndgenerationalteran]

what was quick?

[avidffan]

what was quick?

great sig

this thread seems to be over?
