Talk:Asgard plasma beam weapon

Who ever said that these weapons were plasma weapons? Asgard forever 23:01, 9 February 2008 (UTC)Asgard forever, February 9, 18:01
 * Doctor Rodney McKay said it in Be All My Sins Remember'd when he was stating how bad "Plan B" was. Jaymach 03:20, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I wrote the article after hearing the line but if you need more confirmation then I believe Gateworld has a transcript of the episode on its website. DarthBatrus 11:29, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll take your word for it.

Just want to say that these weapons are awesome. Imagine what would have happened to the Ori if the Asgard hadn't died...User:Phoenix304 19:50, 9-8-08
 * The Ori would get there ass kicked.
 * The Ori already got their ass kicked. The only thing left to do was take care of their followers...and Adria. —AscendedAlteran 09:28, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Hey! Do you guys know what the people on GateWorld call these weapons...Uber Beams! LOL...User:Phoenix304

Power
how much power do we think it would take to super heat this plasma.
 * Lots reletive to real earth technology (probably ridiculous amounts), but presumably not a lot reletive to other stargate technologies as you dont need a ZPM to use them. Sman789 14:11, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Not to mention the fact that Earth has naquadah generators. The real problem with plasma weapons though is containing the plasma, which would take far more power than superheating it.—AscendedAlteran 17:11, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * They probably just use the Asgard core and beam transporters to replicate new plasma rather than store it.-Ascended 999 21:27, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not talking about containment in that sense. I'm talking about keeping the plasma in a cohesive stream once its discharged towards a target. —AscendedAlteran 01:38, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

(lack of) originality
FreeSpace 2 Beam Turrets, anyone? -->Suicidal Tendencie 17:39, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, can you think of a better idea for a weapon that they could have used instead of normal pulse weapons?
 * What about tweaking the beam weapons to fire constantly?--Amitakartok 19:39, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * That would just melt the weapons Sman789 20:18, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

attack the wraith
with these ridiculously overpowered weapons why don't the tau'ri just go and actively hunt the hive ships and blow them up in a few shots —Asdf1239 (talk) (Contribs) 06:19, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Honestly. If all 5 active Tau'ri ships went on a joint campaign and used guerrilla tactics (much like the Phoenix)... everything would be great. And... Odyssey with its ZPM could definitely do some damage. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 06:22, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but as I know that you know (Anubis10545), and perhaps most of the people here (I hope), that Odyssey is currently un-available. Would you like to contact the Daedalus for now? —Supakillaii (talk) (Contribs) 06:45, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * what an epic cliffhanger, they leave the fate of the odyssey a complete blank at the end of the entire show —Asdf1239 (talk) (Contribs) 07:15, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * ... well, not really. Odyssey was just occupied with another matter. It doesn't seems like a cliffhanger, it just seems like a day in the life of a starship. —Anubis 10545 (talk) (Contribs) 07:24, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * they couldve said that its just somewhere else instead of throwing in a top secret mission that isnt going to be elaborated upon...until the atlantis movie, -if- its going to happen —Asdf1239 (talk) (Contribs) 07:30, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

uhh
"..., they require an extended period of time and significant power to charge. The advantage of plasma beam weapons lies in their ability to come online and charge at an incredibly rapid rate (using up relatively little power in the process) and deliver several consecutive shots in only a few seconds" does anyone else see a problem with this excerpt? 09:18, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, but you're more than welcome to enlighten me??? :D Sman789 (talk) (Contribs) 20:06, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
