Stargate: Puddle Jumper - Spacedock 

I'm part of the Puddle Jumper faction myself.

Proud ToBe extremely unlikely.These drones were designed to pierce right through energy shields and entire ships multiple times. Simple CIWS like the PDCs would barely do anything as it will just simply destroy the rounds that manage to hit it as it flies through. Laser types might be able to do it but again, these things pierce through energy shields on a regular basis that the energy comparison of a point defense laser is negligible in comparison to that of shields capable of withstanding nukes up to 1 gigaton of TNT on average.

well I recall at least half of episode that boiled down to two guys yelling puddle jumper-gateship at each other.... yeah I mean SGA episode...

No, the drones can only defeated by other drones or the Person how fired them (self distruct).

Gateship, ok Ford, you don't get to name anything, ever.

Unfortunatly that has always bugged me with the ancients. For a super advanced race, their tech level has stagnated for so long it's scary. Compare them to modern humans, we design a new fighter and by the time its passed flight trials its out of date, and yet the puddle jumper at millions of years old, is still one if the most advanced ships the ancients had.

Drones don’t cause so much explosive damage, what makes them truly dangerous is their ability to burrow though hulls and trigger secondary explosives. O’neill Must have used his vast experience of Hatak to identify and destroy reactors and power conduits within the ship, triggering its destruction. Anyone else could have hit it repeatedly And not completely destroy it.

Well, after several million years without maintenance one can expect some slight problems. It's actually still better than Starfleet shuttles or irl helicopters.

You can't blame the underwater part since they modified it hastily but the passenger survived didn't it .

I like how McKay was able to finally call it "Gatteship1" in SG1 Mobius part2

@@Greysen2025 I love how everyone somehow still knows it sounds wrong.

Oh, okay. Well, it's official. You don't get to name anything. Ever.

I don't believe it was mentioned, but yes, I remember that being the case.

There were several Stargate Atlantis eposides chronicling the Puddle Jumper's (or shortened nickname Jumper) submersible capabilities.

Unless damaged, then it becomes a one man Kursk :D

I NEED TO SEE THIS

well for one, the only actual quality factor about the reapers is their passive indoctrination effect. The payload of their weapons are dogshit in every sense of the word, and could be completely out-done at any point in time by energy based weapons due to their only defenses being kinetic based.

It’s mostly going to be stargate/wh40k/culture stuff as they tend to have the highest power. Maybe add in some of the most ridiculous Star Wars stuff like the indestructible fighter that can blow up stars and you’ve basically got an unstoppable force.

It was. That's why it upset me a bit when in one scene they showed the Jumper fire not one but THREE drones in order to dispatch a SINGLE Dart guarding a space gate, while the other dart was left unscathed. A single drone should tear through one like a hot knife through butter, circle around and tear a new behind to the other guy with no effort.

HiopX the power of the drone weapons was inconsistent. It may be u can adjust the power usage (so the yield), when they took down the hatak the ship only had 1/2 drone's, so they gave them more power. We saw drones from weapon platforms/aurora tearing through stuff

P3x310 Keep in mind those drones were launched and controlled by John Sheppard who had very little knowledge of ancient technology at the time. He used a tactic that was most likely drilled into him at earth's flight school: a tri-formation of missiles.

Just what I was thinking.

Or maybe the animators got carried away and thought 3 spinning drones would look cool.

Every ship in stargate could do, as they are incredibly overpowered. In Stargate Atlantis, the Daedalus survives a solar flare storm which would have destroyed atlantis. So yes, Stargate ships are op. Pls nerf :D

the daedalus only survives the "solar flare storm" (a.k.a the coronal mass ejection which is way more powerful than a normal solar flare) due to the assistance of the zero point module they took from atlantis and installed in the daedalus

@@blaze-ex8ht The Destiny woo is very old, can enter on the sun

@@wickiei4556 ZPM powered asgard shields, yeah that will do the trick

@@7dragons7swords It was specifically designed to do that though.

A bit late, but FTL drive is mentioned in the ship's specification (0:53).

actually despite being destroyed the time jumper still manages to return in the story due to some paradoxical stuff its hard to say how many there are in the timeline but there is at least one

Oddly enough, there are consistencies between Stargate and Star Trek on these issues of not being able to fire when cloaked. This also appears to be consistant with UFO encounters in real life. Perhaps SciFi hit the bullseye on this aspect.

Narratively cloaking is way overpowered already. If they could also fire while cloaked there would be no risk for the characters. The solution to every problem would be right there, so where’s the excitement in the story?

This video was more about the basics of the ship. All your points were special customisations both by the Tau'ri and the Lanteans, but not standard features.

It was the other way around. McKay converted the cloak into a shield. Other than that I agree.

@@PaladinPoppie well, there was that time he linked the Puddle Jumper cloak to Atlantis' shield generator to turn that into a cloak... that still sounds weird...

Hyperspace variant was mentioned in the ship specification at 0:53 As for the time travel variant it did not exist in the main timeline, as the research was discovered and pre-emptively stopped/destroyed by the Ancients when Weir time travelled from the sinking Atlantis. The trade-off was Atlantis having enough power when Tauri stepped through the gate for the first time.

@@LecherousLizard Yes, the time travel variant did exist in the main timeline, in the Milky Way, which O'Neill piloted in the season 8 episode 'It's Good to be King'. It was left behind by Janus, which he built after his return to Earth, after leaving Dr Weir in Atlantis.

Or, by shortening the name, ATA gene.

Nor the shield upgrade, but he did describe a "standard Jumper". Though a short list of extra one-off features could be mentioned, yes.

That was a fun movie.

It's probably because of the water-like effect of an active Stargate

Erika Söderlund the ship was shielded

Erika Söderlund It was said a STANDARD gateship only has a cloaking device. The other versions with shields and FTL capabilities were definitely non standard.

They do... The field emitters were not created to do so but can be changed within a few seconds if needed (unless cloaked, which then it takes a bit longer). The shield emitters on Atlantis could do the same thing (maybe more effective, but it could) as well.

I'm pretty sure it's shielded by default and Rodney set it up to toggle between shield and cloak.

Most were defaulted as cloaking and then what you said... Rodney changed it to toggle

I could imagine some technobabble about how the event horizon of the Stargate interferes with the cloaking field or something like that

@@fredwupkensoppel8949 even simpler, if you pay attention you could still see the ripple in the event horizon when the Jumper emerges

Yes, yes, gold star for you. But, since the Lanteans are essentially the continuation of Alteran civilization after the Ori schism, either term would be suitable; they're the same people, and retained ownership of the Gateships.

From my knowledge of the StarGate Universe... they weren't powerful enough. You needed something more powerful: a Zero-Point Energy Module (ZPE)? A device/module which pulls power from subspace. The Atlantis Spaceship needed 3 of them to fully function, whereas the Teran (or earth) defenses only required 1 to save Earth from Anubis.

@@Greysen2025 Yes, exactly. The abbreviation you were looking for is ZPM. To add onto what you said, I tried to figure power output for reactors vs ZPMs. Forgive me if I screwed up my math, everyone. Based on the episodes Hot Zone/Hide and Seek, a Mark I NG can output about 20kt / 23,244.44MW/h of power in just 30 secs. (when set to overload), or about a rate of 2.8 million Mwh of power (output x 120, assuming it could produce 20kt worth of power every 30 sec. - and yes, I rounded that for simplicity's sake). *Note: If the MING's explosive yield equals what it would achieve **_in its lifetime,_** then just divide my results again by 120.* A Mark II could produce about 600% of this, or about 16.7 million MW/h (16.7 TW/h). A Control Chair either required two of these, or one ZPM. So, based on my attempts at calculation with the limited info available and my rusty mathematics skills, a ZPM can produce about 33,400 GW/h (33.4 TW/h). For reference, the entire world uses an average of 17,700 Gigawatts (ref: www.theworldcounts.com/stories/current_world_energy_consumption). Mark II and later ran at barely stable rates with these numbers, and depleted rapidly. Idk if a M2 NG and a ZPM would deplete at the same rate, and this is all just guesstimation on my part. But if two M2NGs equals exactly one ZPM, it would take 6 to fully power Atlantis, vs 3 ZPMs. The alternate timeline Mark XII NG was capable of running Atlantis' shielding for 800 years (with some extra solar paneling). *If anyone can figure all this better than I did, please comment the correct numbers for us all. Thanks!* Edit: I've scoured forums about this, and ZPM levels listed are all over the place, often being much higher than my estimate. Of course, a ZPM's limitations are dependent on plot, and so can be however high (or low) it needs to be, but it's still fun to try to pin down. For Samantha's use of the Chair in an alternate timeline, she only needed 80% of the US power grid in lieu of a ZPM, which is relatively low.

A mark 4 naquada generator was 6x stronger than a mark 2 good enough to power for a hyperspace for something small as a puddle jumper , if they try to reengineer and try to mass produce a few hundred puddle jumpers with drones, shields, invisibility cloaking and ba small portable nuke just in case if need to and jumpers come with 12 drones and it just takes 8 good shots to take out a hive ship and 4 drones to take a cruiser and if they a portable nuke and released to in a hive to take it out , use teams of 2 jumpers to take a fleet of wraith ships Atlantis could basically take out the wraith easier and if could get there hands on a few small gau'ld ships with cloaking with a portable nuke it can help out even better lol

@@Greysen2025 you don’t need a zpm to enter hyperspace, the jumpers didn’t use zpm’s they had their power system recharged when they docked in Atlantis, so they could go to hyperspace with the power on bored, hooking up a pair of mark 2 generators would augment it’s power output. maybe it wasn’t compatible

Not in Canon, within the series.

DE hasn't fleshed out anything in their "universe" and is unlikely to ever do it.

Wished they did would make one hell of a open world game going to different planets and using jumpers to fight the wraith ships , and colonize other planets and make alliances to work with, one jumper with a small tactical nuke under the jumper could take out a fleet of wraith ships go in cloaked sneak into hive ship drop nuke in its bay area , fly out and use 3 drone strikes on each of the 3 cruisers that accompany it and let the nuke go off to blow up hive ship and fly off to stargate to escape lol

No, not could have. They won every battle.

No, they didn't. They lost the ZPMs from their ships.

losing a ship doesn't mean they lost a battle

The Wraith when they 1st came into conflict with the Lantians weren't spacefaring and only had an interstellar reach thanks to Stargates. If the Lantians won EVERY battle, the Wraith wouldn't have lasted long enough to capture a ZPM. The Lantians won every MAJOR battle prior to the Wraith getting ZPMs to power their fleet building and cloning but the Wraith fought back well enough to maintain a stalemate prior to that.

all it took was losing a single ZPM from any one of the many ships for the wraith to power their cloning facilities, and basically just completely zerg rush the lanteans on their single fortress from their single planet in the galaxy.

Link?

They first called themselves Alterans. After the schism from which the Ori faction formed, the mainstream Alterans began to refer to themselves as the Ancients. Then, upon leaving the Milky Was for Pegasus, they called themselves Lanteans. The people of Pegasus also refer to them as the Ancestors.

LegOlav Hulu has all the star gate shows.

do you know where to find bsg and Babylon 5?

Amazon prime has bsg. Babylon 5 is on a free site called go90.

you can watch ALL the stargate series and movies for free at stargatecommand.co - please share

Pick TV in the UK is showing SG-1 (season 7 at present)

The jumpers had autopilot for going through the gate the "needle" fighter didn't. The wraith darth are far smaller and have a much bigger allowance for error on the stargate approach path.

Of course the Goa’uld look silly against the Wraith, like comparing crusade armies to modern military forces

The Goa'uld are terrible engineers in general. The only thing that kept their empire in good shape was the lack of motivation to conquer from the other faction. That is why they got their asses kicked by the Tau'ri and replicators. The Wraith needed to use the gates as a vector for their darth because their hive ships were limited in range. They also were in a dire supply situation so optimisation were needed. Goa'ulds on the other hand had a bulky but good enough hyperspace drive and since they aimed at terrorizing planets having a giant ship piercing the skies is a pretty good mean. And while fighting the Tau'ri and the instable political situation forced them to technologically wake up, their military strategies were fixed in stone and war is not the right time to change your doctrine.

i have not seen it yet but i have a feeling it is bad

Frode Brattbakk Nah, it's not bad at all. Just see for yourself.

I'm enjoying it, the budget is kind of low, but what do you expect from a short web series? And if you mean the fact that it's cheesy, go re-watch sg1, I love it, but one of the things that made it great was how cheesy it was.

Well technically MGM's pride fight with the actual creators of Stargate is what killed the franchise. New management at MGM finally figured out that they wasted a major money maker by shutting everything down back then. I refuse to watch Stargate Origins because it purposely does not include any of the original writers or producers (etc.) who worked on the Stargate shows or movies. It's completely an MGM corporate copy, not real Stargate.
