Meet the Daedalus [SG Spoilers]
on: July 13, 2005, 11:20:28 am
Stargate's new seasons are about to start, and they've shown some sneak previews on TV yesterday, apparently. Here are a few shots of Earth's new battlecruiser, the Daedalus. For those thinking it would be just another BC 303, think again. Images courtesy of Gateworld.

I always found it strange how they could manage to build a ship of that size in complete secrecy.

EDIT: (on earth)

Thats the only thing they could do I guess because I don't beleive any forward bases such as the alpha site or whatever has the manpower or machinery to do that.

I'm not sure about Daedalus, but Prometheus was. You see it being launched from A51 in a couple of eps, notably 6x11.

It would make more sense to move the machinery off-world as that's where most of the materials come from (the logistics of bringing tonnes and tonnes of Trinium in through the stargate would be a nightmare) but it's TV, it's allowed to not make sense :P

No no, what I'm getting at is that it makes absolutely no sense to build something like that on a planetary surface and then launch it. It requires either an astronomical amount of fuel, or a totally ridiculous miracle technology provided by the writers. (I don't know Stargate so maybe I'm missing something.)

It has some anti-gravity system or something I believe. Again, it's TV - they can do whatever the hell they want.

looks better than the promethius, tho.. its overall layout always irked me, the bridge is still exposed(as with the prommy), not as much in comparison, however. also, curious that it's off-center, too.
the real question being is how much firepower does that thing have?

Enough to at least chase off those hive ships from the Finale.
So as through a glass, and darkly
The age long strife I see
Where I fought in many guises,
Many names, but always me.

There are only 10 types of people in the world , those that understand binary and those that don't.

Prometheus is all reverse engineered alien technology.  Mostly Goa'uld stuff and later some Asgard stuff.  The Goa'uld never really had trouble with those big pyramid ships flying through atmsophere so when I saw the Prometheus I just figured that they had reverse engineered to that level (plus some help) and put it all together.

I figured the Daedalus would be just like the Prometheus but apparently not.  Cool!

I still haven't even seen Atlantis Season 1 yet...so it'll be a while I think.  Boo!

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
