Does anyone else get annoyed when people are beamed away sitting down, and standing when materialized?
Does anyone know how Thor managed to beam in Fragile balance onboard Loki´s ship in twenty seconds after Carter called him?--Paeris (talk) (Contribs) 08:26, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
Maybe he was in the galaxy on business (or holiday) and thus was close by --Escyos (talk) (Contribs) 08:29, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
Can someone tell me , how far can asgard transporter beam ? Can it beam from one state to another, when the ship is on orbit ? Karl-Hendrik Muuga (talk) (Contribs) 19:29, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
Well, looking at the times they have used the transporters, it can definetily transfer someone from state to state(you mean u.s. state or state state?). Jauh0 (talk) (Contribs) 14:54, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
Actually I mean from U.S.A. to Vancouver or to Moscow or something like thatKarl-Hendrik Muuga (talk) (Contribs) 17:41, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
Well, it actually can't be said for sure, since even though it can take Jack and Thor from SGC to Washington and Carter from somewhere to Seattle and such, it could be just the ship moving around in orbit, but I assume that it can transport stuff from country to country. I'd say it can transport from and to the side of the planet it's facing, but that's just my personal guess. There really is no true answer. Jauh0 (talk) (Contribs) 18:58, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
Transporters and Shields[]
If the shields of a ship need to be down to use the transporter, why was the Daedalus able to beam people down to Atlantis during their fight with the Wraith? Also, during that same battle, and the battle following it, the beamed nukes over to the Wraith Hive ships without dropping their shields. Also, I believe at least once, we see the Daedalus beam people to Atlantis while Atlantis' shield was raised, and possibly their own shields as well. Someone want to explain this?Echristopher56 (talk) (Contribs) 19:39, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I've noticed this too, there is no explanation. As for Daedalus beaming nukes, it's possible that the beams can always go out of the ship, but sometimes the writers just say "f*** it" and change the rules for incoming beams. I really hate when people can't keep consistent with their work. What if they are crime suspects and they can't keep their story straight? Well anyway, the only thing to do is trying to ignore this inconsistency and watch around it. Jauh0 (talk) (Contribs) 21:32, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
- It seems that Atlantis (and Ancient shielding in general) has difficulty of stopping Asgard transport beams. However Asgard and updated Goauld shields seem to prevent it easily. Albeit it is fairly possible that beam and shield can be tuned together for it to allow transport. But with some jammings and other stuff it does not work and shields have to be lowered. --Paeris (talk) (Contribs) 17:45, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Nothing to do with difficulty - it's just that the Atlantis shield seems to have more control over what it lets in. We know (from the Asuran takeover of Atlantis, as well as the battles with the Asuran Auroras) that they can prevent beam-ins if they want to - so the only thing that this suggests is that Ancient shields have more control over what can come in (this is also suggested by their allowing in puddle jumpers). As for beaming out when Daedalus's shields are up, it's possible that the Asgard computers/sensors can calculate the path of all incoming projectiles and pick the most appropriate time to drop shields for the second or two necessary to beam something off the ship :) Sman789 (talk) (Contribs) 20:28, January 19, 2011 (UTC)
- Then if they have to drop the shields to beam outwards, then that makes the situation in Search and Rescue stupid. Beaming in is essentially the same as beaming out, you have a lock on the target and place you want them to(since ppl are often beamed to different parts of the ship, sometimes to the bridge and sometimes somewhere else, there's no fixed location). Surely it can't be slower to make a lock, drop shields, beam, raise shields, depending on whether the beam is going out or in. That's why I think they can beam out with their shields up. Besides, take their second battle in The Siege, part 3. Continous bombardement, not even a second to drop shields, yet they were trying to beam out.

- I think that in the beginning the Wraith ships didn't had any shields, so some first nukes and people were sucsessfully beamed into their ships. But when their lots of ships started to blow up with beamed nukes inside them, they had to start developing jamming technology. Once they had installed on some of their ships, the Atlantis people had somehow lower the jamming shields. And by the way the Gateship has got its own technology to bypass only ancient shield, like the Vanir ship bypassed it. Maybe really Atlantis shield has got more controls over it, but that doesn't include any jumper bypassing I think.Karl-Hendrik Muuga (talk) (Contribs) 06:09, April 9, 2011 (UTC).
