I was wondering why have'nt they built anymore 303's as they are smaller and therefore must be cheaper than 304's and i would guess faster to build, even if you werent going to use them in the same capacity as a 304, thecould provide escort duty or be a permant planetary defence/ star system defence.

I wouldnt mind seeing 303's built without the hangar bays as destroyers. -
The answer:$$$$, I would be stupid to spend millions on more 303's when the 304 model is being developed

thats what i was thinking, as an escort force for the 304's, like a carrier battle group, the carrier protected by some 303'sOriginally posted by kymeric View PostComment

i thought of the 304 as more of a battlecrusier and not really a carrier. i mean 16 fighters isnt that much. I think a 305 should be developed as an equivalent of a hive ship able to carry lots (100 or more) of fighters but no missles, armed only with railguns and beam weapons.Comment

It would be pointless to build more 303s when the 304 is much more advanced. We don't need smaller and less advanced ships in our fleet. They are trying to make themselves as powerful as possible. So it would be a waist of money and resources to build more 303s.Originally posted by Galactic Lego View Post"If I find out your playing us I'm not going to wait for authorization.

I loved the 303, they could redevelop it including all our new advanced technology and have it as a science vessel or something as opposed to a battleship, which the 304 is, or have the 305 for that....
I loved the design though, the 304 ship is kinda bland but the 303 design had character, 304s are kinda asgardy, our ships should have a distinct design to them....I dunno what to put in here now..Comment

Because producing a 303 with Asgard upgrades better implemented in the ship systems (and thus more functional) would need developpement. Unlike the 304's, which are since their designing somewhat ready for those Asgard updates (even thought new systems were later incorporated in 304's as well- Asgard core...).
But I liked the design...Comment

I agree with the less advanced part, but smaller ships would have been useful, but smaller than the 303 even. Something like a cargo ship (only not a feckin' triangle - worse shape for holding cargo ever!). Some weapons for if they get desperate, but general tactics in a fight would be to run.Originally posted by The Dark Destroyer View PostI don't mean to sound like a nerdy fan who talks about science-fiction like it is real, but the problem with 'clever' storylines is that they make the audience start to think, and if you put in bad science, they are more likely to notice it.

They've got to be getting pretty low on naquadria by now...

I think they forgot about the difference between naquada and naquadria a long time agoOriginally posted by amconway View PostI don't mean to sound like a nerdy fan who talks about science-fiction like it is real, but the problem with 'clever' storylines is that they make the audience start to think, and if you put in bad science, they are more likely to notice it.

Maybe they should build some 303's w/o hyperdrives for orbital defense ships. That way there's always ships in orbit of Earth ready for attack.
Also I think they need to develop a carrier ship that could hold a large amount of 302's.
Perfecto!Comment

Well, that's not really possible. We don't know how much naquadria is required to build an engine capable of opening a hyperspace window. It's pretty powerful stuff. We also don't know that they didn't get more naquadria after the events in Fallout. My point was only that there is a finite supply of naquadria, and they're going to used it where they think it's most valuable.I think they forgot about the difference between naquada and naquadria a long time ago

I figured that the asgard technology they installed in the hyperdrives didn't need naquadria?Originally posted by amconway View PostI dunno what to put in here now..Comment

You might be right about that, but I don't remember that they were building different engines. Do you remember any specific mention of it?I figured that the asgard technology they installed in the hyperdrives didn't need naquadria?
