[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Season three is in stores today. I've got a couple hours before I leave work to pick mine up. And Family Guy. :) 1) Sizes of stuff. Look here: http://forum.gateworld.net/showthread.php?t=27438 The Aurora is best guestimated at about 500m long. A Daedalus class ship is around 335m. 2) For the capital city of the Lantean society NOT to be able to manfacture its own ZPMs is silly. I like to think that the technology to create them was taken with 'em back to the Milky Way when everyone jumped ship, leaving only the three powering Atlantis plus whichever other ones they had scattered around Pegasus. The Lantean ship Tria had a ZPM, and was using it to travel at near lightspeed to the Milky Way since their hyperdrive was destroyed. I don't think it was a standard piece of equipment. Only the Asurans seem to have the technology to make them now. However ZPMs work, there has been mention made of their structure reaching "maximum entropy" and thus losing their ability to draw power from subspace. 3) Each of the four races seemed to have plateaued in their technological development at a stage where they couldn't advance further, or didn't want to. The Nox seemed happy being able to hide and heal, while the Ancients and the Asgard were basically able to do anything they wanted to have a happy Trekkie existence, at least until species-extinction reared its head. Eath and its allies are making rapid progress mostly because they're only making it TO that point. Lots of Ancient and Asgard tech seems to be far over anyone's heads anyway, to the point that it wouldn't be NEEDED in everyday life (who needs to reboot all life in the galaxy, anyway?). It's like us and nuclear technology. No one really understands how to make it, we benefit from it anyway, and it's otherwise just out of everyone's reach. As for the beaming thing, well... Who needs beaming when you've got rings, gates and jumpers? They get'cha where you're going either way. Perhaps everyone was freaked out that over-use fo beaming will make you look withered and googly-eyed and sterile like the Asgard. 4) The one gate we saw in the Ida galaxy seemed to be of Milky Way design, so it stands to reason that the Asgard didn't have much need to them. They seemed perfectly capable of travelling between stars and whole galaxies in very short times by ship. They just did stuff differently. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
