Cut and paste the URL for the image.

It does indeed look like we're looking at the back end of a batwing fighter, though I think the engines are a little bit different than the Uly.

Was that the one that the USAF made that didn't work (IN SG-1)?

Yeah, but I think we're looking at the front of that fighter/whatever it is.

That would be the X-302.  This little baby, in addition to being Earth's "first" working manned deep space craft, is also supposed to be hyperspace capable.  However due to instabilities in the Na'Quadria(sp?) fuel source, the little bugger just can make a "hyperjump" in and out of hyperspace, before the reactor scrams.

The design is based loosely on the X-301 which was a retrofitted Death Glider, which malfunctioned nearly killing Col. Jack O'neal and the Jafa, Teal'c.

The design program also includes the X-303 which is a fully functional warship approximately half the size of a standard Asgard vessel.

It should be noted that the X-303, is hyperspace capable and capable of engaging a Goa'uld mothership and emerge victorious.

BTW if you haven't noticed a couple of guys have started work on a Stargate mod over on VWBB. I'm not connected with the team but they probably wouldn't mind some help :)

Anyway have a look here (http://www.hard-light.net/vwbb/showthread.php?threadid=8813) if you wanna see what they are up to :)

With the help of a generous donation of Asgard tech, that is.

Are you sure about the relative sizes? Asgard sheeps are pretty freakin huge. The X303 seems barely aircraft carrier-sized.

Um...it hasn't actually done that yet, though, has it?  Least not in the last series they shown on Sky.......

I like SG-1.  Has a bit of the good old 'sticky tape & bluetac' approach to technology that's lacking in pretty much every other sci-fi programme I've seen.  Not that I actually watch much of that stuff - tends to get on my tit, y'see.

I think its hinted at, because in the episode where hammon calls france china nad russia  a meeting, and he needs Thor' help, thor says tat they will outfit the Pheonix with Asgard Weapons and shields. It would seem that with asgard wapons, it could destroy one with ease... In the FS universe, it might be across between the strenth leviathon with the power of a Deimos... IMO.

I got the size comparison from the episode where SG-1 gets kidnapped by the Asgard to help them take care of the Replicators.  There is a very clear shot of the Prometheus with an Asgard ship hovering above it.

Granted it's not a good comparison but hey it's all I got.

Also of note: three weeks until season premier!:thepimp:
