Just curious but where did you come up with "500 megatons and up" from?

<<Matter/anti-matter reactions produce a lot more energy than fission.>>

I was wondering the same thing. We have/had nuclear weapons bigger then 12 megatons. I kind of doubt we developed missles that would deliver a smaller punch some 400ish years into the future. Plus I have no idea what the heck "quantum torpedo" is but does sounds impressive.

Personally, in my limited experience watching the various Star Trek shows, my favorite ship was the Defiant. Small, manuverable, packed a larger punch them most star ships and could take a serious beating.

Josh

the 500 megatons I got it from episode 201 THE SERPENT'S LAIR. that is what each nuke was rated at when it hit the shields of apophis ship. the only effect that it had on the ship was a little rumble.

the 12 megatons was what Star Trek site rated it at. thats the info that they got from movie, game, book etc..... so you can argue with that. 50,208 terajoule = 12 megatons.

If you want to get caught up in megatons- watch the 1st quantum mirror episode "there but for the grace of God", Carter says "if they fire, the chances are we won't even feel it, the blasts on the east coast were over_______" sorry, can't remember the figure.

they wouldn't do anything-goauld ships rule!!!

sorry, had to get caught up in my own enthusiasm here for a sec. but really, the photon torpedos and lasers and whatever else they want to come up w/ would pretty much just splash off the shields of the goauld ships. but it'd make an interesting light display. biggrin.gif

So if gao'uld shields can absord 500 megatons without to much trouble, I wonder how they would hold up against the 10 million terraWatts that site has the Borg Tactical Cubes rated at (should come out to about 2.3k megatons). So I guess while Federation weaponary may not stand up to the Gao'uld, I am betting the Borg would rip them to shreds. Which is funny because we seem to do "ok" against the Borg.

I doubt we would ever find a way to get through Goa'uld shields with federation tech. now that every one has said so biggrin.gif We should stick to simple Naqahdah bombs and nukes biggrin.gif

Comparing Federation Technology to Gould technology would be extremely difficult. First of all, you CANNOT measure shield and beam strength in megatones. Kilotons, Megatons, and Gigatones are measures of explosive yield, which only apply to missiles and torpedos. Everything has to be converted into kinetic energy; shields, phasers, torpedos, and what-not. Second, we need to understand EXACTLY how these weapons and other technology work on the subatomic level. Just because starship A's missile makes a bigger boom than Starship B's missiles, doesnt necessarially mean ship B is SOL. Starship B's missiles may work in a way which exploits certain weaknesses of Ship A's shields and armor. Just like in that episode of Voyager (Year of Hell) where Voyager fought the Krenim. Voyager's photon torpedos were much stronger than Krenim temporal torpedos. However, the Krenim Temporal Torpedos were in a state of temporal flux which completly bypassed Voyager's shields, doing an ASS load of damage. On top of that, we will have the means to have a good basis of comparison. Now unless you have a phd's in theoretical physics and quantum mechanics, and all of that lovely stuff that gives me migranes, then you're probably not quallified to make a solid comparison of the technologies. Third, it was never mentioned how exactly Zats and Staff weapons work, so its kinda hard to compare somthing you know nothing about. Comparing soley on visual observations is insufficient.

However, using only visual observations, Id say that federation technology would really help earth in their fight against the Gould. Forget about photon and quantum torpedos. They should use transphasic torpedoes, brought back by Voyager. Thost things are fuckin powerful!! They destroyed an entire borg cube in only one shot!! Imagine what a barrage of those torpedoes would do to a Gould ship!!

and what about the armor as well! could take a hell of a lot of damage that the borg delt out! and they was only down by 2% untill they all started 2 attack 1 point.

Plus we know very little about Goauld or SG tech.

Federation tech everyone knows about.

Hell Lt Torrace could modify the deflector to emit a kill Goauld beam in the sub-space spectra and it would be all over.

Man Voyager could do anything with it's deflector dish.......

SG ships don't have deflector dishes so they would be at a huge disadvantage..... tongue.gif tongue.gif

lol, mostly the defletor dish was 2 prevent small particals from penatraing the hull when they was at warp! cuz i think i heared in 1 ep where the defletor was down that if they went 2 warp small partials from dust or something would penatrae the hull with a hole the size of ur fist! surly the goauld have something that acts like this!(clearly its not as good as the federation ones, lol), or just imagine they jump 2 hyperspace and a few sectors away the ships there as debry! hummmmm that a sure good away 2 start an attack, lol

Man, I'm surprised that Buddha hasn't chimed in on this one yet. Must be holding out for one big "quantium torpedo" sized post!! laugh.gif I kill me.

It wouldn't make a difference.....Anubus' mothership would cut the Enterprise-E to RIBBONS!!! And that's a Sovereign class ship, the best of the fleet! Can't wait to see the Titan....maybe that will make a dent into Anubis' hull.

riker at the helm...looks like a good series to come....can't wait. biggrin.gif

Holy crap, that would be a fight!

The script was so-so, the Scimitar and the Argo (dune buggy scene) made that movie!!!

Worse scene: Data singing...so retarded...so unnecessary...so Star Trek.

first of all star trek is in the future so trek tech will not work with stargate. now explain 1 thing to me sg1 and star trek are so different but most ppl i meet online that like sg1 also like trek in fact my neighbor have these arguments he claims sg1 is rubbish compared to tng well needless to say after last tng sucks no sg1 suck argument we dont talk much anymore are most trekkies this way

Maybe the SGC should change their Prometheus to the Federation ship Prometheus (from Voyagers' season 4 episode 'Message In A Bottle')
At least with that ship they could have used the regenerative shielding, ablative hull armour and the multi - vector assault mode and then maybe even Anubis' ship could get a pounding...... serves him right for wiping out Abydos.

Just imagine.... USS Prometheus....... Kirk in command and Jack as first officer... or should it be Jack in command? rolleyes.gif

laugh.gif A little off-topic, but let us also consider fleet organization and command. In many of the episodes I've seen so-far, the space battles seem to be very un-organized melees.

Now suppos the Earth and it allies had federation technology and that (getting a commander from a series of sci-fi books), Honor Harrington was in command! smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

No, staff weapons and zats are a better replacement to the phasers
