4 drone launching tubes. Atlantis has 3.
The ship is bassically a city ship, that is not designed to land.
Like I said, the ship is supposed to be what the Ancients could have made if they didn't use time for Ascension.
The multiple launchers are to provide faster and more efficient targeting, and speed for the weapon to reach its target.
There are two storage silos. One feeds port and can feed starboard. The other is the opposite.
There are four, again, to proved a more efficient covering pattern.
Yes it can stand against a fleet of Orii ships. But not for long.
The Asgard shields can withstand 2-3 hits from a main cannon.
The Ancient shield on Atlantis has always been shown to be able to stand against the Wraith weapons for days, while the Daedalus can only last a few minutes.
I don't see why the difference is that big.
The New ZPMs are a logical progression of the million year old ZPMs.
The Orii use Ancient tech.
Their ships can be destroyed by Stargate splashes.
Their ships are not invulnerable.
Just really powerful.
The Ancients had similar if not more advanced tech.
And remmember, there is only one Veris-Pileama.

So the Orii and the Ascended Ancients couldn't spy on them.
These Ancients don't like most Ascended beings because they reffuse to protect the innocent and destroy the evil.

And don't forget, ascended beings are not omnipresent. They are energy puffs that can go places fast and go almost anywhere. They use Stargates for travel also.

The ships are the newest in a line of advanced ships designed by these Ancients over those years.
It is far larger and more powerful and more advanced than Orii ships. Its powersource's have far greater energy output/potential and the power systems are more advanced and efficient.
Here is an excerpt from my story (it is a bit rough, because I have been editing it):
Clarifications: Thousands of Orii, Wraith, and former Free Jaffaa aligned with the Orii (long story on why the Wraith are there, essentially a large groop of the more advanced Wraith left to search for more food on several leads to other Galaxies. They succeeded.) are attacking earth in a finale blow. Hundreds of Orii ships (not all toilet ships), along with thousands of Wraith ships(not all Hives or cruisers) hundreds of Hat'taks and other ships are attacking earth in an invasion dedicated to spliting the populace into the Wraith's food and Orii worshipers. The small earth fleet that assembled as a last ditch defence to slow the fleet down a few seconds to allow the Antarctica defence weapon to help is devestated by the Orii/Wraith/Jaffaa Fighter craft alone, and a few barrages from the Fleet.
Then:
....a great blinding flash appeared as a massive white Hyperspace window formed ahead of them, launching forth from that window was a ship of majesty. Its green-turquoise hull started bristling with white energy pulses, and thousands of cone-like blasts flew towards the massive force of enemy fighters, hundreds of explosions flew across the expanse of ships like a wave upon the sand, every blast hitting a mark, every mark vaporizing in the fury of energy enveloping it....
Orii Cruisers, and Dreadnoughts fell at each side of the Ancient Warship. Its shields were pounded by the massive onslaught of energy weapons from the many thousands of ships around it.
Its energy beam weapons were dominant. Each blast cleaved through Orii Warships, Wraith Hive ships, and Hat’tak class Motherships throughout the vast ocean of enemy ships.
Its energy beam weapons were dominant. Each blast cleaved through Orii Warships, Wraith Hive ships, and Hat’tak class Motherships throughout the vast ocean of enemy ships.
The fleet dispersed in Chaos… in time for the Ancient Warship to recharge; the Ancient warships shields were finally starting to fail… they buckled under the massive strain of hundreds of thousands upon hundreds of thousands of powerful energy blasts that had battered them for long over 10 minutes.
Essentially, it was getting hit far faster than it could recharge.
It would have been destroyed if the Antarctica weapon didn't fire.
I will have the stats for one of the smaller ships tonight.
