could Earth adapt Traveler's energy weapon

still, there is no way to know untill it's been tried there is a massive amount of energy in the o'neill pulse canons, maybe enough to one-shot a cruiser

Sorry but thats rubbish, a Wraith cruiser survived 4 hits from the Asgard beam weapons an O'neill pulse is weaker so the chances of it taking out a Cruiser in a second shot are nill.

ok, it's not very likley, but not 0... maybe 0.0001? let people have their fanwank dreams...

Ok have your dreams lol. I just hate all this asgard fanboy crap I see on these forums all the time.

still, having more than one weapon that accually does damage isn't wrong. the ancients relied completley on drones, and where did that get them?

Why would you put redunant energy weapons on your ship? The beams are better. Pulse weapons will just take up power. The Ancients did have pulse weapons on their ships, these were seen in BAMSR.

those were asuran auroras. we had one or two auroras, but i never saw any plasma pulse weapons on them, nor were they mentioned.

Ancient Aurora's still have the pulse weapons along their sides.

then how come they had pulse weapons and not beams when they are some much better in every way?

I don't know:s.

The Ancients have got beam weapons capable of killing a bunch of Hives in a single shot. Maybe they did have them on ships but not Aurora's.

if the auroras were their latest main ship, like the o'neill for the asgard, that doesn't make sense. either they realised you need both something that dan take down you enemy in 3 or 4 strikes (drones), and something that packs a bit more punch. however, the drones can to that two. so that doesn't make sense either. maybe they were the best alround weapon if they were to run out of drones. it would be kind of fun to see a 304 try to take out 200 darts with just beams. sure, we have railguns, but small plasma bolts would probably work just as well/better.

Have you forgotten about rail guns? TBH if the Hive is dead and 200 Darts are coming at you you might as well hyperspace away, they can't go anywhere leave them to it.

i did mention railguns, and lets say our hyperdrive is broken from a replicator misshappen due to a dumass IOA representative.

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.

yepp, but you can get high ROF from plasma pulse turrets two, and plasma turrets sound much cooler than railguns
