The SG-A fighters can go into a admoshere (of a planeet), right?MKSheppard wrote:You're running into the same trap that John Ringo did when he designed the railgun 2mm rounds on his ACU suits; there's no need to put little points of antimatter or naquadah into the shells themselves; that just makes them cost more.
Naquadah is being used because it simply masses far more then a steel core does and is incredably tough, meaning it makes a better penetrator then even something like DU.MKSheppard wrote:Some comments:
1.) Galactica won't even notice a large HE warhead hitting the bow; or even have the CIC shake from it; this is a very large and heavy ship about a kilometer or mile long.
2.) Why are they even using Naquadah as filler for 12.7mm Slugs? I did some calculations using a 800 grain .50 BMG round accelerated to 2 km/sec, it came out as 133.8 kJ of power, versus a 20mm Oerlikon's 43.6kJ.
Also, since you're firing these railguns at thousands of rounds per minute; the chances of more than one 12.7mm slug impacting are very high; and since this is a space weapon system; you can make the 12.7mm round as blunt-nosed as possible (making it weigh even more and being able to transfer more power), as opposed to a pointed boattail shape.
The Naquadah isn't explosive in of itself, this is 'depelted' Naquadah for lack of a better word, refined from the raw ore but hardly weapons grade stuff. Still incredably dense and tough, but it's not going to go explode on contact anymore then ships hulls in Stargate do.

I never said the sensor officer actualy was tracking the right target
3.) “Massive jamming from the unknown contact sir, I can barely see it on DRADIS anymore”
Actually, Jamming doesn't work like that IIRC; you know that something's out there; but the probability zone is greatly expanded; instead of being able to localize something down to say, a few feet; you've got to deal with a probability zone several kilometers in area.
The traces in the blood are just markers, the hand device itself probably has a power source.technomage wrote:traces of it in the blood powers Goa'uld technology...
Cause canser. The stuff doesnt cause heavy metal poisoningWhat doesn't this stuff do?
It was Naquadria that killed Daniel, right?Vianca wrote:It can kill you anywhy.Cause canser. The stuff doesnt cause heavy metal poisoningWhat doesn't this stuff do?
Direct physical contact with Naquadriah pumping out extreme amounts of gamma radiation.LadyTevar wrote:It was Naquadria that killed Daniel, right?
Well, there's a problem with this; in @, we don't have any problem using depleted uranium or STABALLOY as penetrator rounds because we have a LOT of it left over from about 50 years of rampant nuke production, and it's cheaper than tungsten.Chris OFarrell wrote:Naquadah is being used because it simply masses far more then a steel core does and is incredably tough, meaning it makes a better penetrator then even something like DU.

Naquadah production is over 10000 years old with the Goa'uld. There is a fuckload of naquadah out there, and the SGC is pulling it in hand-over-hand from the various offworld sites we know they control. Never mind there is an asteriod packed will hundreds of tons of refined Naquadah in a Near-Earth orbit.MKSheppard wrote:In contrast, Naquadah production is barely 8 years old; and everything seems to use it from ship hulls to power sources; and a lot of other things; can you really afford to waste it in minor things like 12.7mm shells.
Requirements for a crossover have already been met.Vianca wrote:With crossover, do you mean SGC men onboard the Galactica and men of the Galactica onboard the Daedalus?
Or the RTF going tru the portal?
Lucky that they have Daniel with them.
Are you aware that the author of this fanfic is also the author of that webpage?Vianca wrote:Maybe you like this link.

Or the replicators might find the Cylons another convenient resource.Valkyrie wrote:I can't wait for the next chapter, but I have one question
What would happen if the cylons met the replicators???
Then they would find a way to procreate as 'The Lords Of Kobol' say that all followers must. (correct me if I'm wrong)
AND they would obtain a way of making self replicating uber centurians that can be made out of anything.
But plz don't take this as critisism, this is one of the best fanfics ever!
Keep up the good work!
M'Lady, I hoped to have it out early this week, but unfortunantly certian things got in the way. I'm trying my best to have it out by tommorow some time (and I appologise for the fact that when you see I've posted in this thread you'll assume it's a new chapter).LadyTevar wrote:How long til the next chapter?
