Are they windows or shields? Just wondering...because I thought you can't have windows in hyperspace.

They look like windows, and I don't think that when the prommy was first launched they would have been able to put sheilds for every window, the chances are they are windows with the writers ignoring that early sg1 fact.Best quotes ever:
O’NEILL: I hope you like Guinness, Sir. I find it a refreshing substitute for food.
Jack O'neill: I hope you diplomatically told him where to shove it.
Teal'c:If you once again try to harm me or one of my companions, my patience with you will expire.
Carter: You know, you blow up one sun and suddenly everyone expects you to walk on water.
Thor:I like the yellow ones
O´Neill:Hey, if you had been listening, you´d know that Nintendos pass through everything.

I'm pretty certain that Teal'c was referring to basic glass when he said that transparent materials can't be used on hyperspace-capable ships. Considering that we have Perspex, Polycarbonate, Diamond-coated glass, etc; I think it's within reason that we'd be able to create a material capable of withstanding the forces and radiation present in hyperspace transport.
Also, I should point out that our ships have shields around them while in hyperspace, hence why the radiation doesn't affect us (unlike Wraith ships which have to drop out of hyperspace to recover from the radiation since they don't have shields).

The asgard said they have no sheilds or weapons because all of the power is used up maintaning the hyperspace window? Or do you mean a much lesser sheild just designed to stop that type of radiation. Atlantis is the only ship I have ever seen with a visible sheild.

I believe that the windows on the X-303/304 would be made of a extremely thick and resilient transparent material with reinforcing force-fields and armored blastshields that could be deployed in case of failure.
but then again this is stargate so they probably havent thought it through.
Another problem would be Sheppards fighter that pulled a Millenium Falcon manouvre on the hive ship that then entered hyperspace, how would he have survived the radiation through the fighters canopy.sigpic

On a completely unrelated note, saw this while looking up hive ships and hyperspace...

Originally posted by Ice Wolf View PostMight not be a power problem, it might be that defensive shields are unable to be generated in a sub-space environment, the same could be true for directed energy weapons. Sub-Space radiation could disrupt the shields making them ineffective, it might also dissipate energy weapons. Projectile weapon might be destroyed by shear ect. or have their trajectory warped.Well i was bored and decided to make a borg vs stargate sig, so enjoy...btw the explosions and ships look weird i know, its hard to make them blend
Anime signature in spoiler tag
Spoiler:Here is an anime sig, i was bored so i randomly picked a maid pic and photoshoped it
