could Earth adapt Traveler's energy weapon

asgard pulses are powerfull. but for the sake of not having 100 posts of arguments, id just say unknown till proven.

buba, beams are better in everyway except ROF.

The power of the beams makes up for the rate of fire, you could pepper the Hive with dozens of pulses over the course of a few minutes of end it in a minute with several beam shots.

but the point still stands.


ofcourse. thats the point of a beam: if you're sure you'll hit, use beams. if you arent certain, use pulses.

Yeah it does still stand, I was just saying the ROF doesn't really make much of a difference compared to the power of the beams.

Its kinda hard to miss a Hive ship.

11km of solid biopolymer. how blind do you have to be not to hit it

Drunk with the beam emplacements bent into U-tubes.

lol....as for "normal" (=ancient) Auroras: They surely would have had pulse guns (maybe they were broken on the orion or just didn't have power (because of broken conduits)), why? because no one would waste "normal" (not small ones like on the jumpers) drones for darts?

as for energy-pulse guns (don't care if asgard or traveller or even goa'uld): they are supperior to railguns, as they do more damage (against shields and armor, as they don't only have kinetic energy of the impact but heat as well) so i would advise at to at least install some

the best build for a 304 is simple:

6 APBW
12 APPW(high ROF)
24x tribarrel computerlinked railgun turrets.

the first is our Uber weapon. to take out really big targets
the second are pulseweapons. rapidfire ones. like 2 shots per second. doesnt have to be uber. we know Oneillguns are very powerfull, but doesnt have to be oneill powerfull. we have beams for that. these pulses are to slowly take down enemies for capture, to bombard large areas on a planet, etc.

railguns are against small ships/fighters.

doesnt have to be able to power all at the same time

It's clearer in the episode than the pictures but in "Inferno" it has the energy weapons (they're either side of the ridge in the middle);

Oh sorry didn't see that bit. Well rail guns will be best because of their high rate of fire hook them up to an automated firing quantum computer and those Darts would be dead pretty quickly.

All modern navies have had the capability to engage 100s of targets with a coordinated attack as early as the mid 80s (back in the Intel 286 days) what you're talking about is 20 year old Navy technology. There are stand alone fire control systems used worldwide for control of gatlin guns that could be used to literally clear a section of space of darts (CWIS). With darts being fairly fragile something as small as 30 caliber could be used as part of a area denial system which could clear the sky of darts and possibly even drones.
I don't understand we don't have batteries of something like the 30-mm GE GAU-8 Avenger seven barrel cannon (essentially infinite range in vacuum of space) instead of our current smaller railguns. I can see the advantages of a railgun if the projectiles were a fraction of light speed but that's not the case at all. Something like this (with sufficient ammo) could punch a whole in a mountain and venting hives to space would be no problem with the actual bullet being large enough to carry high explosive or even K-naq bullets.

No, not blind. The ship IS crewed by the US military............
