What SG1 technologies would you want shown in Atlantis?

[SP90]

Give Ronon a Sodan carbine staff, sit back and watch him kick Wraith butt.

I'd vote for Merlin's phasing technology. Atlantis is the most important thing humanity has [apart from all the Asgard cool beams of pwnage] and they should be able to do more than just cloak or shield it.

I agree that would be cool, and useful instead of the cloak. To bad that tech was created after Merlin/Moros fled Atlantis back to the MW. To me, that is way more useful than the cloaking tech.

Yeah, because the phasing technology can be activated while the shield is on thus not leaving Atlantis exposed. Though the downside is the amount of power it would require.

The transporters in Atlantis use the same technology as the rings (stated in 'Hide and Seek') and make a similar sound.

It's still note quite the same cinematically as seeing the rings come down, though. Rings have an instant connection to the established Ancient tech in SG-1.

good idea but the tel'tak's hyperdrive is not as good as the asguard hyperdrive that the 304's have, tal'tek kan uasualy go at about 2 times the speed of light, but for short distances they yould be great!!

The idea is to use them for short distances. Come to think of it, a captured Al'kesh or two might be faster and better (they seem to have better range in SG-1, being able to accompany Anubis' fleet to Earth).

The phasing cloak cuts out the need for shields since all attacks just pass right through, and you're invisible!

Personoly id like to see at least one zat on Atlantis i mean come on their perfect for security and on off world missions. Besides its alot better than those whimpy Wraith stunners.

[SpinningChevron]

I would like to see the Atlantis teams wearing the Anubis Super Soldier Armour that Dr. Jackson was wearing on Prometheus Unbound off world as it would be good for withstanding whatever the Wraith or Genii could throw at them.

I've never understood why neither the SGC or the Jaffa never used the weapons of the Kull warriors. They fire fast and do good damage. I think they would prove useful against the wraith.

[jasminaGo]

The Tel'tak idea is a good one. They sometimes use jumpers to get to close systems that have no gates and it takes them about 10-15 hours. Hyperdrive will really cut on the travel time.

I would like to see Sam with a ribon device, taking down a group of Wraith.

And the phase shifting device would definitely guarantee safety for Atlantis.

plus on Merlin's phase-shifting device. However, I'd rather them give the Puddle jumpers a working hyperdrive, rather than bring in Goauld technology. Also, I'd like to see the atlantis expedition get their hands on the traveler's weapons. They are just as effective as the zats. even more effective. They have separate kill and stun settings. Zats do not. so if the zat doesn't stun the first time, you really don't get a second chance to stun the enemy, if you want a live prisoner. Also, the zats are Goauld technology.

[the fifth man]

I'd definitely like to see Zats on SGA. At least every now and then.

[Crichiel]

Yeah, I know.

I guess it's easier to use SG1-technology, requires less creativity. It's easier.

Easier? Then why DON'T they? They use amazingly little of the SG-1 tech. It makes no sense to me that the Ancients would develop something as useful and reliable as the Rings and TOTALLY stop production of it when they change to a new galaxy.

[RepliVeggie]

I wouldn't be at all surprised if you could transport from one of the teleporters in Atlantis to a ring platform.



Anyways I would like to see ummm.....Zats I guess.

[thekillman]

no zats

This is exactly what I'm trying to get at: from an in-universe point of view, there should be technological continuity between the two shows to a much greater extent than there is now.

There should be new technology, sure, but when it makes sense for existing technology to be seen, it should be. Rings is one example. The Ancients used them up from before the time they split with the Ori (Ori rings are compatible with Ancient ones) until they all ascended (Merlin's facility on Earth, presumably built after he returned from Atlantis - remember, he only became Merlin after he came back from Atlantis - used them; this indicates that it's still the latest in Ancient matter stream transport technology).

I didn't notice this bit from before:

For frak's sake, we're in the city of the Ancients!! Lots of technology waiting to discover ... NEW technology!!!

But no the more SG1-relics, the better ...

Learn to read the first post properly before replying. I said which technologies make sense from an in-universe POV, not out of universe story-telling reasons such as "keeping the shows separate" or "keeping the stories interesting". In-universe POV treats the SG universe as reality and it's absurd not to have technological continuity. When the Europeans colonized North America, they didn't get rid of the most useful Old World technologies. A story teller focusing on colonization might choose to focus on new technologies invented in North America and never show Old World technology. But that doesn't actually make sense in reality. It's like saying that wagons didn't have wheels in America and used something else to roll around.
