    God, these things have such a uniquely beautiful aesthetic. You see giant laser beams and supernukes in future fantasy all the time, but these things were just so visually distinct. Like the lightsabers of space combat, they were truly an elegant weapon from a more civilized age.

    Slevin Channel Yeah they can return according to cannon, but when the Terrans use them it is always a difficult situation that along with the danger and their general inexperience with using them in the most effective way possible, the Drones are almost always drained of their energy supply and as such explode before returning.

    There is already an episode where drones were used against an Ori Ship. Season 10, Episode 13. Sam in an alternate reality where the Ori ships already attempted to attack Earth but the Ori ships were driven off when the Ancient Weapon Platform fired drones at the Ori ships. That suggests that the Ori knew the drones were powerful enough to destroy their ships since they high-tailed it out of the system after it activated.

    Yeah it was, especially given that two drones can knock out a Ha'tak, but we can probably assume that since Sheppard was using both Ship-Mounted Drones and a Neural Interface for the very first time, he likely just emptied the rack and launched everything at once, either just to be sure or because he didn't have time to figure out how to use the weapons with more finesse.

    He's probably still applying what he knows from Airforce training, where its common tactics to fire missiles in volleys of two or more, to ensure a kill and this is his first time engaging a Dart in ship to ship combat and so doesn't know yet how many drones is sufficient, so goes for overkill to be on the safe side.

    There's also the fact that there are different drone sizes, ranging from point-defense microdrones to the large units fired by Auroras and Cityships. it could be possible that Puddle Jumpers fire smaller drones. That being said, one of those should still be able to take out multiple fighters. Those were the ones that took out a Ha'Tak, after all.

    Please note that you are correct. At the time of Sheppard firing those drones, they only ever saw the drones once, at the antarctic base. At that point of the series, the Tar'ri didn't fully understand the weapon. Spacedock, he was in fact using it for the first time. Before that episode, he only activated a star-chart of the galaxy which is very different form controlling drones.

    A potential weakness of this weapon system that never really gets explored in the show is their relatively slow travel speed, deployment time, and short range. We see it take sometimes upwards of a whole minute for these things to be released from a Lantean ship and finally make contact with a target. The weapon really does entirely rely on superior Lantean shield and hyperdrive technology to jump into extreme close proximity to their enemy and release them so their target can't react. I gotta imagine if the range wasn't close enough, a giant flak field could act as a shield destroying all the drones as they moved in.

    Good point, but speed and individual survivablility isn't needed in swarm tactics, simply by the fact you've overwhelmed the enemy with sheer numbers. Also the form one part of an array of Lantean weapons, so lot's of punches and kicks, and drones on top of that.

    What? Where are you getting the idea of limited range from? And what difference would it make about the ships shields hyperdrive...........when the weapons GO THROUGH SHIELDS? Seriously here man, how is this flak field going to destroy a weapon that cuts through anything seen like butter? The drones are controlled through the chair interface neurologically, and as we've seen ancient tech using their mental capabilities was effective over extra galactic distances. There is no weakness there. Other than your own making.

    @@nihilityjoey The limited range (due to the limited energy supply) and slow deployment time (compared to lasers/beams) means the crew is dependant on there defensive systems (shield, armour, flak, etc) tanking the first few hits from there opponent, or being able to close the distance fast enough to minimise the time-to-hot post launch. A Flak field would be effective because the energy field around the drone gets depleted when hits solid matter. Hence the 2-3 pass throughs before detonation. If you can drain that energy supply with multiple flak hits before it can impact the target, you can either force a premature detonation, or limit the drone to a singular pass though. Against a swarm it wouldn't be worth it, but against a puddle jumper's contingent, it may keep your own ship alive.

    The Drones at the Antarctic Outpost were millions of years old, far older than the Lanteans development of the smaller planetary Drones in Pegasus. They were a new development of a type of Drone based on their larger counterparts. That also says something about the Lantean Military that they never upgraded the Drones and used the same type for millions of years. Whether that was because they were a perfect weapon with no room for improvement or because the Ancients sucked at war i dont know.

Whenever we get war level weapons from the ancients they are either very limited because of power requirements or something happens that causes their destruction. This is exactly why my original comment was pessimistic about recreating the ancient drones. It's not that we couldn't, they just wouldn't let us. We could reverse engineer the drones by dissecting some open and use the asgard computer corps to help analyze it and duplicate the functionality. But no, that won't happen because the humans would become too powerful and the story would just stop evolving.

Now This might a weird request but i'd like you do a video on 'The Argama' and/or 'Nahel Argama' from Gundam Zeta, ZZ and unicorn. BUT Before doing that, i would like for you to do a video on 'Minovsky particles' and how they changed the Gundam's Universal Century. *Take your time, it's a whole new universe.*

I know the series would have been over before it started if they could produce unlimited drones, but they could have at least said that the factory was destroyed by water damage, or better yet, actually explored the factory, even if it were damaged. I always wanted to see one.

    The ancients did use devices that could integrate with ones mind, allowing the user to design devices and "3D Print" those projects directly by converting energy into matter. There is an episode on season 10 of SG-1 were an ancient do this. The Asgards also had this capability. The ancients also had advanced nanite technology that could be used on the manufacturing process. So most likely Atlantis was equipped with the required manufacturing facilities for both drones production and probably ZPMs as well. The main issue most likely is on the power requirements, the ability to operate the devices.

    Well it's a hybrid energy/projectile weapon, so presumably the Replicators could adapt to lesson their effectiveness, but they may not be able to stop them entirely. They could adapt to the Drone's energy field that makes it so potent, but they wouldn't be able to stop them from impacting and detonating.

    The replicator story in Atlantis actually explains this, after the SGA team comes across the replicator home world one of the replicator's tells them the story of how they came to be. Essentially the Ancients created them and then destroyed them with the drones once they couldn't control them any longer, but some of the nanites survived. So like the Asgard's O'Neill class energy weapons, they are capable of destroying most of the replicator nanites but some inevitably survive.

    Given that Ancient tech has a habit of side-stepping reality (no seriously, their inventions routinely access other dimensions where physics behaves how the want) I'd not be surprised if phasing through wasn't an issue. Plus any crossover kinda has to account for the fact that Stargate's tech is on the scale of galactic and intergalactic species; while the closest thing in Stargate is the Borg's intra-galactic travel; and that the Ancients also have that 'humans are magic factor' but with millions of years more R&D under their belt whereas Star-Trek is set in the millennia. Although to be fair to Stargate it's attitude was always 'the smug civilization messes up and offs itself'. The Wraith were basically headed that way and even the Tau'ri were confronting that potential within themselves in the Milky-Way sub-plot of SGU.
