    Ship Speed

    In terms of numbers of times the speed life, how fast can a Daedalus-class ship go? And how much faster than the Prometheas is this?

    if you see a light at the end of the tunnel, it's just a photon torpedo.

      1X

      Time travels at the same speed aboard ship as outside it. Except when at very high sublight, when time within the ship moves slower than outside.

      So, lives aboard are only affected by sustained high sublight speed.

        In Prometheus it said that it could travel at Sub-Light speed (not sure if this is right) 60% of Speed of Light.

          That's correct. Daedalus can probably do 64%

            in hyperspace, its has too be several hundred times faster then the speed of light. considering time aboard the ship remains the same as the rest of the galaxy. I remember in the earlier seasons of sg1, when they first where on a hetak in hyperspeed Carter saying it was faster then 10x lightspeed, so for a daedalus class ship to get to a far away galaxy ( 1 million light yrs) in 3 months real time, then the ship would have to be going several hundred times lightspeed.

              Oh, in hyperspace. We were talking about sublight speed.


              I'm sure there's a way to figure it out; three weeks from here to Pegasus; just convert weeks to seconds, find the distance between the Milky Way and Peg DiG, then divide away and you've got it.

                No, the whole reason for leaving our space-time and going into hyperspace is because the speed of light barrier is thought to be higher than 3.0E^8 m/s. There is no sublight speeds in hyperspace.

                  Prometheus Sublight Speed: 110,000 Mi/sec
                  Prometheus Hyperspace Speed: 99.21 LY/M

                  Daedalus Class Sublight Speed: unknown
                  Daedalus Class Hyperdrive Speed: 115.74 LY/M

And thus, all four of these characters are gods.Let's go one more step. Calvin grows up to be Jeremy, who grows up to be Frazz, who grows up to be "Tyler Durden," while Suzie grows up to be Haruhi Suzumiya; since Kyon becomes The Doctor, this leads to the inescapable conclusion that after the end of Fight Club, Calvin becomes Captain Jack.

                    In terms of speed, Daedalus-class vessels are still blisteringly fast compared to other species. A Goa'uld ha'tak could travel approximately 32,000 times the speed of light in hyperspace. The Asgard hyperdrives aboard Daedalus-class vessels take twenty days to reach the Pegasus galaxy (Comments within Stargate Atlantis make Atlantis 3 million light years from Earth.) This is nearly 1,800 times faster than Goa'uld hyperdrives (Or approximately 54,750,000 times faster than light). By comparison, the Daedalus when "supercharged" by Ra's ZPM only took four days to travel the distance. This is 273,750,000 times faster than light. And lastly, Thor's O'Neill-class vessel took one hour to travel between Earth and Hala, while towing the Prometheus. At four million light years, this is 35,040,000,000 times the speed of light, or nearly seven hundred times as fast as Daedalus under normal conditions, nevermind that Thor's vessel was hauling a Earth battlecruiser. Without being weighed down, the ships could be faster by an order of magnitude at the very least

                      We don't know how far away Hala is from Earth...

                      but yes they travel at insane, crazy insane speeds

                        It takes 3 weeks for the Daedalus or Apollo to make the trip to Atlantis from Earth.

                          A non ZPM enhanced Daedalus Class Battlecruiser can travel at around 2 Light Years per second or about 63,082,990.85 times light speed.

                          With a ZPM, it can travel at around 8.7 light years per second or about 273,919,968.1 times light speed.

                          This is assuming 3,000,000 light years between Earth and Atlantis, a 18 day travel time without ZPM, 4 day travel time with ZPM, and Wikipedia's figures for speed of light and distance in a light year.

                          Prometheus could travel at just below .6c and I thought I heard somewhere that a 304 could go fully .75c.
