I do dont know if it has been sayed before as im new to this forum. But how can a high tech ship like this be shoot down by low tech Weapons made by prisoners in Episode Called Condemned

[Dr Weir]

It wasn't destroyed completely and I thought the weapon on the island was high tech. It was made from an ore that had fission without radio decaying or something like that, which McKay never heard of before.

PJ's don't have shields, and by the layout of design I doubt they were intended to be used for anything by transporting small numbers of people. They're not fighters.

[Render]

definitely not fighters, but they are pretty fragile, especially after what we have seen from the ancients. i do hope we get to see an ancient fighter sometime, it would be most helpful

[pillwokie]

somehow in the sg universe.... very high tech things are vulnerable to very low tech.

[Xanderic]

it wouldn't have been shot down if Sheppard wasn't so stupid to forget to put the cloak up.

[SGRanger06]

Then we woulden't have had a great episode.

Exactly how was Sheppard to know they had anything to take the Puddle Jumper down?

Another question since we are on a PJ thread. (Apologises if this has been asked before)

But, whilst the PJ is cloaked, and the rear hatch is open then you can not see the whole ship, but when people walk into the cloaked PJ they only disappear once they are inside the actual hatch. So why do they not disappear whilst they are standing on the open hatch, as that is invisable?

High tech things can be vulnerable to low tech things in our universe too. Just because things are advanced doesn't mean they are perfect, and it doesn't mean they are invulnerable. Sometimes, High-tech things fail to low-tech because the makers never considered something so simple to actually happen. Like the Goa'uld personal force fields. They stop staff-blasts and bullets, but a thrown knife gets right through.

A Black-Hawk helicopter could be taken down by a Revolutionary war musket if gets hit in the right place.

Here's a question. When the jumper is cloaked, can you fire drones? We haven't seen them do it yet. Any speculation?

I heard somewhere that you can't to fire drones when the ship is cloaked. but you never know

It's not just in the stargate universe, it's the same in ours :-p

If I took a club to my computer, my club would win. Why? Because my club is doing what it was designed to do, smash stuff. Computers, like PJs, aren't meant to be used in such a way.

In the rising they were going to fire drones while cloaked but Shep said the wraith can fire blind until they are hit.

I think that after 10 thousand years things can get old and fragile.
