Drone example: Drones reaching Annubis fleet in orbit a few seconds after being fired. Then a drone having trouble catching up to a dodging helicopter driven by John.
Hey, it is sci-fi. But don't be under the delusions about consistency.Click the banner or episode links to visit the virtual continuations of Stargate!Previous Episode: 11x03 "Shore Leave" | Previous Episode: 6x04 "Nightfall" | Now Airing: 3x06 "Eldest"The Continuing Stargate Wiki | Stargate: Avalon l The New "Ark of Truth" | Stargate: Universe Reviews | Banner designs by Alx

Lets take your 30 seconds to reach orbit. Imagine that speed! O'Neill's helicopter is doomed. Plot device.
Same goes for the varying rate of speed of beam weapons.
Only a matter of time before the Daedalus or another 304s fires from orbit at a planetary target, and you will see 2-3 second delay at most before it hits...Not 30-1 minute delay. Close to speed of
light speeds.
The beams need at most 1-2 seconds to charge. In the end, the show needs Kindred part II =)

As for the drone, like I said, Carson was controlling it...

I don't think TBTP are going to show the dely to keep things consistent. They are producing television, even if it is sci fi. It takes as long as they deem neccesary for the scene at hand. That can be seconds or minutes.
