Daedalus Variations alien ship

[Cephalus]

Since the beams can be fired en masse, never seen limited, and can have a power tweaked to fit the plot, I don't see how that makes this new situation any more interesting in terms of show quality.
That puts those ships on par with Ori ships, nah?

Very good observation. 3 shots are enough, if i remember right, to destroy an ori mothership.

The reason 3 took out ori mothership was becuase ZPM was attached. Which may indicate it gave the beams a boost or it could just be really powerful and 3 shots take out the badest of the bad.

Yeah, what a surprise.

Don't be afraid, next time you see them they'll be super stupid and killed with wood sticks.

Weren't the beams understrenth anyways?

If those weapons could drain Atlantis' shield in barely a few dozen shots then they are by far the most powerful weapons ever seen in SG. There's no way that could have been a full ZPM.

Not complaining about it but the alien vessel looks a it Startrekish in design.

Agreed.

Spoiler:

[Cephalus]

Sorta looks like a Jem'Hadar vessel to.

[Imperator]

I too thought it looked more like a Star Destroyer from Star Wars than anything Star Trek.

Now that you mention it from the bottom if you really think about it, it does.

EDIT: Those weapons also looked kinda like covenant weapons.

[SG-17]

Regarding those aliens:

Spoiler:

First Contact
"So far, we've got a terrific, BIG two-parter planned. I suspect that the page count in the Daniel/McKay scenes (featuring the two fastest-talking actors in show business) will have the scheduling gurus doing back-flips. Remember that new enemy I mentioned? Oh, and Marty G. will be doing the honors on this one."
(Executive producer Joseph Mallozzi, in a post at his blog)

I believe the "new enemy" refers to First Contact.

like in halo????

[Cephalus]

like in halo????

Yep.

[Argosy]

I thought it looked like a Husnock warship.

Some one just mentioned Halo & it made me chuckle because I believe the Husnock warship "glassed" Delta Rana (a human agrarian colony) from orbit, just as Harvest was "glassed" by the Covenant.

Edit: I forgot to mention that the alien fighters look similar to Magog Swarm Ships from the rear perspective & they seem to serve the same ship boarding function.

[General Yogi Bear]

The new alien ship sort of looked like the ship that attacked Apophis's ship from the SG-1 Episode Enemies in the first episode of season 5. I wonder if they are the same race. Or maybe the same race that attacked the Promethus in the season 7 episode Grace.

[A Wraith Named Bob]

My favorite thing about the alien vessel was the launch tubes through which the fighters exited the ship. It was a nice difference from the large hangers typically portrayed in science fiction.
