Destiny's weapon grid

[leiasky]

I liked the sound of the weapons firing. Did wonder how the 40% energy reserve was depleted so fast, tho. Am looking forward to seeing it in battle.

[WindowsME]

It did kind of remind me of BSG's point defense systems. And i love how many weapon blisters there were. BUT if that little firing they did was all it took to drop from 40% to where it needed to refuel, it makes me wonder how long it could keep it up in a protracted battle... Does not look that long.



I think they just used the same sound effects.

One can only assume they fired the weapons for hours or come under the assumption that the ship is as weak and archaic as it's mentioned. Through my perspective, I fell those on board the Destiny will eventually seize a majority of 80 percent uninhabitable sectors of the ship, allowing for further scenarios to play out.

[Mardius]

anyone else the scientist guy saying that they only activated 40% of the available weapons...i shudder to think what that thing can unleash with 100% of the weapon systems active

[UniverseSizePlotHole]

I hope the rate of fire can be controlled eg faster fire at lower yield per shot.

[Solokiller]

I don't think they fired the big guns we saw before, so how powerful would those be compared to the small ones that did get fired?

[reddevil18]

so every time they fire they would deplete all the ships energy ? seems like a pretty wank system to me.

Considering that the ship just needs to take a dip into a sun whenever it runs low on power, it's a pretty kick-ass system, if you ask me.

The problem was that the ship was just at under 40% power reserves after "Light", for whatever reason. Maybe just like a normal rechargeable battery, in time, you can never fully recharge it.
At its peak, yeah, I'd say it was an astounding system.

i was like, "cool. cool."

*computer shows the entire destiny firing dozens of cannons *

" AMAZING!"

The destiny coud -- hypothetically -- beat deadalus class

They probably had the weapons firing on a continuous cycle for a long period of time. That would deplete power no matter how advance it may be. We probably only saw a small snippet of how long they were actually firing.

Destiny has shields able to resist stars and judging by its weapons enough to easily pulverize a 304.

Another proof that the "last tribe" of Asgard in Pegasus used tech based on the Ancients. Not just the suits, but the railguns too. That also means we can assume they will eventually find yellow projectile handguns.

At last, its getting interesting.

How is that proof of anything, except that they both fire yellow blobs of energy?

The Destiny could hypothetically do anything. For all we know, those energy weapons could have less of an effect than railguns, or they could be more powerful than Asgard beams. We have absolutely no idea.

I doubt the boat would be able to put out 100 shots before it had to go take a dip in a star.. How many shots did they fire to drain the batteries? Less then 100..

What, did you go get a sandwich during that scene? There was a *lot* of shooting in all directions simultaneously

[Nem0rz]

Not a fan of the sound effects

totally agree, they were cheesy for one thing plus space is a vacuum - we should not hear weapons fire if viewing from the outside of the ship.
