    We see the drones cut through shields in Lost City Part II. These are Goa'uld shields which operate on a specific frequency as explained by carter. If something is strong enough, or fast enough it may be able to pass through, like when Jonas and Danial pushed through the shield on the door on Anubis' ship (albeit damaged slightly) Drones may not pass through more advanced shielding like Asgard design, or their own design like on the Puddle Jumper.

    Only a theory... please don't smite me even those two get it wrong sometimes

    I have always figured that the Gould Shield technology is based on force fields that oscilate as stated in upgrades. The Drones just emit a field that keeps a hole open and it slips in. Lantean technology uses shields that are solid with no oscilations so drones can't find a hole to keep open. And it bounced if it passed through there is no way it would have veered off.

    Drones are like energy wepons depends on the streangth of the sheild is whether the drone will compleataly pass through the sheild, or whether the sheilds affect the drone

      ...was there anything but speculation in there...?

      But seriously, it's high time TPTB gave us some concrete facts about drones. This is getting rediculous.

            When did that ever come as canon, the jumper's shield blocked a drone and the Hatak's most definitely can take more shots than that dinky little thing can. It doesn't seem its a matter or power put in but rather of design.
            Their white flags are no match to our guns!!

              Different shields seems most plausible when it comes to stopping drones.

              I think i saw drones being fired too.

                On a side note: Is it spelled Ronon or Ronan, the smiley says Ronan. And then Ronon when you hold over it -.-
                It is Ronon rather than Ronan.

                I always thought it was just that drones could go through Goa'uld and Anubis' shields because the drones were more advanced. I never assumed that because a drone could go through a goa'uld shield it could go through every other type of shield. In the battle in BAMSR I do think that drones were used, I just think that drones are not as effective against asgard and ancient designed shields.

                  Efficient against shields or not, there should have been a sky full of thouse drones coming from Asurians side.

                  This isnt some small outspot that destroyed a whole Anubis fleet, this is a homeworld of a 10000 years old Machines, that has access to unlimited power and superfast building abilitys and 30+ Aurora class spaceships on an orbit...
                  Makes me woudner, is there at least 1 bad guy in Stargate Universe who can match the IQ of Tauris.

                    I agree. The Asurans had all the knowledge of the unascended Lanteans. Their aurora class ships were just as good as the Lantean ones (nothing says otherwise). They can interface directly with the technology (Ancient tech interfaces with Ancient tech). They should have been firing thousands of drones at a time, from the ships and the surface. Asgard technology should only equal Ancient technology. It should not surpass it. They quickly build ships (perfectly)

                      The Asurans probably would have been firing a whole pile of drones from the surface just like the Antarctic Outpost did, but they didn't have the chance.

                        The advantage of beeing a machine, is that you can make decisions in a matter of nanoseconds. Its all programmed in them already. Instead they act like some old ZX spectrums. Infact most of there system should have been Automatic to start with.

                        The whole Asuran race have been buthered me from the start. On one side they should have been advanced machines, yet for all there advancment, they didnt even had any what so ever Robotic creatures. They could have build Terminators, mech-warriors even transformers, instead they took a shape of Humans, they are slow and overconfident. I understand that in the past they couldnt change there base code, but after they gain access to alowing changing there base code, why havent they done anything?

                          BUt they still have a conscience that can contemplate. As we've seen in TMC the Replicators still have worry, meaning they can fear. When we attacked they are allowed to panic. Them being robotic does not make that impossible, and panic is as likely to happen as anger, surprise and arrogance. So initially they probably did panic and try to rush someone into a control chair to fire them with absolute clarity. By then it seems that FRAN activated and she soon neutralized the planet based threat. Its also possible that they beamed her right next to a control center for the drones, or Rodney disabled their firing mechanism when he gained control over the city's power.
                          Their white flags are no match to our guns!!

                            They are machines not humans, why would they need a chaire?

                              Greater control, greater view of the action. Probably ability to control more. Still yet thats not the point they had less than a minute to compose them selves and retaliate in an organized fashion.

                                They copy the Ancients in every possible way, they even built themselves a replica of Atlantis. It seems likley therefore that they would use a chair to fire drones because thats how the Ancients did it.
