And you assume that drone firepower depends on and can be arbitrarily increased by an external power source because...? I'm not referring to an external source but whatever powers the things internally and if whatever that thing is somehow boosted using SW energy sources instead. Although size woul...

Could the Decepticons with their ability to take on the shape of any machine they come across and assuming the forms of SW fighter ships etc. Could they take on the Empire in that fashion? Just being one more happy imperial fighter or shuttle until is too late?

You DO know that without knowing how far and how fast the drone tunneled through the ice, this doesn't tell us DICK about its penetrative abilities, right? Not that tunneling through a couple hundred metres of ice is particularly impressive (by Star Wars standards) to begin with, and IIRC the drone...

Evidence that the 'resulting debris' would have damaged the 'windows' when it did not do the same to the Puddle Jumper flying right through it ?[ I do not think one could possibly compare the window panes of a building to that of a spaceship as a spaceship is designed to at the very least resist im...

[ All of this just because I happened to ask? :o I can perfectly understand the traffic not giving merit to such a forum as other governors and citizens of this board have posted but why on Earth just me asking the whole thing somehow jumps to negative probabilities? Are you saying that if had been...

I ask because such threads do come up often in the OS forums anyhow and the ST vs Wars at this point is nothing but a beaten to the pulp dead horse! Since it's you who asks, the chances of any such forum being created just went from negligible (due to the reasons Red listed) to negative probabiliti...

My last post was only to prove that the asteroids in question were considerably bigger than the jumpers while is true that they did not turned out to be kilometers wide... So here is the limey and what we do know of this things called drones. 1. They can bore thru 150~200 meters of thick antarctic i...

I need to correct the overall scales I posted earlier as is actually 2,3 or more times larger than the jumpers and not 20. This darn connection just keeps breaking off darn it! Anyhow here are some calcs about the whole deal by Mr.Oraghan. A 10 meters wide asteroid has a mass of 1220 tons for a vlum...

I.e., double-figure MT, just as the LTLs in ESB. In other words, pretty small fry when proton torpedoes in the same size range appear to be potentially GT and up what with them being able to threaten capital ships in sufficient numbers on occasion. And that's assuming the asteroids destroyed by dro...

Asteroid destruction: according to Riker, it would take the entire photon torpedo payload to destroy a single 5km wide hollow asteroid in "Pegasus". In other words, it would take the entire payload of the Enterprise-D (a capital warship with a crew of a thousand) to equal just one of Jang...

This is right from the link you provided and I quote! Asteroid destruction: according to Riker, it would take the entire photon torpedo payload to destroy a single 5km wide hollow asteroid in "Pegasus". In other words, it would take the entire payload of the Enterprise-D (a capital warship...

Irrelevant. The entire point of this topic is finding an Ancient warship in the SW galaxy. As a privateer what am I supposed to find impressive about drones that can blast 'huge asteroids', Turbolasers and standard lasers can do that just fine and we have access to bombs in ATOC that can shread ent...

We have seen drones and I mean the small ones fired by Puddle Jumpers basically blast into dust huge asteroids in SG:Atlantis as they were trying to make a safe pathway for Atlantis to go thru. So their power is not exactly something to be sneezed at either, We do not know and I think you are being ...

I will admit that I'm quite a bit biased about considering the drones being Trek style frequency weapons (in fact I find the idea nauseating) rather than phasing or shield piercing tech. Anyway we are all conjecturing since we do not have a clue as to how they work or heck how the the damn things ar...

Wrong. There are at least two. In Tangent and Revelations . That's right off the top of my head. Well I could only remember one but still the point is that it something that has very rarely been used in the show which means is not a way to penetrate shields that is readily available as it is in say...

Since the Ancients were unable to one-shot hive ships with drones then either the Wraith employed some sort of counter measure, perhaps this is the measure that was responsible for blocking the Asgard Transporter which at the very least justifies why they were able to counter is so quickly, or the ...

Actually thanks to knowing essentially nothing about how phasing technology works in the first place wether or not the degree of interaction can be adjusted AT ALL, leave alone the range within which it can (and if it would eventually matter to begin with) is completely up for grabs. Well yes for t...

Phased matter most certainly does interact with unphased matter, as evidenced by people NOT asphyxiating within minutes while they're phased. Phased matter merely has a reduced ability to interact with unphased matter so it's entirely possible that, say, extremely dense armour would still stop phas...

How the drones work is unknown. There is no definitive proof on what method they are using to get through shields, let alone if they are even using a fancy trick to get through them in the first place. The main methods being suggested is phasing, frequency based piercing or straight forward brute f...

:wtf: There is a simple solution, namely that he stops making the claim. As repeatedly noted, we cannot be certain whether the drones' unknown technobabble mechanism would work or not, so it is rather pointless to go to such lengths arguing about it, but Occam's Razor demands that the default condi...

Do not backseat moderate. Necronlord can handle it and I doubt he cares for your input on the matter.

Sorry about that, lost my temper there for a second or 2...

We're not fighting about it. Everybody EXCEPT An Ancient Moron agrees to that. This is about An Ancient Moron blithely assuming that the drones WILL be able to defeat Wars shields and when called on to put up or shut up, trying to weasel his way out of it by completely misrepresenting Burden of Pro...

A textbook case of the Burden of Proof fallacy . Look especially at the second example. You could quite easily switch that around, so far Ancient drones have been seen to have no problems with a variety of shields they have encountered, you assert that SW shield are superior and therefore immune. T...

Err-Zod? He's actually arguing the reverse of what you're saying. Since Ancient technology does become more effective with a more potent power source (i.e., ZPMs), Star Wars reactors which are again considerably more powerful than ZPMs could ,assuming the systems can actually handle the load, make ...
