frdbrlw1 chapter 3 . 3/28 Quite a few mistakes in regards to stargate lore. The x-303 Prometheus was a prototype as a testbed for a mishmash of alien technologies. The BC-304 is the main production ship of the tauri using what was learned, it was a complete human design from the ground up. The Prometheus class only had 1 ship built before its class was discontinued. You have the Daedalus labled as X-303, it is in fact a BC-304 model. Your hyperdrive speed is way off, the Asgard drive on the Deadalous can travel to pegasus in 18 days (1.9ly a sec) (over 3 million ly) or 4 days (8.6 ly a sec) with a ZPM. It shouldn't take 3 weeks to travel somewhere in the pegasus galaxy. X-302's hyperspace window generator didn't work, it was only capable of in system jumps without overloading. The Prometheus was destroyed far before your timeline. |
BrentNewland chapter 15 . 6/15/2019 Cylons don't get downloads from other cylons. And a hundred raiders? Basestars can carry almost 800 raiders, and it sounds like these are bigger. |
BrentNewland chapter 14 . 6/15/2019 The city wouldn't even be a dot from orbit. And the battlestars can't go in atmosphere - they fall. No antigrav drives or repulsors. |
BrentNewland chapter 3 . 6/14/2019 Also, this should be in the BSG/SG1 crossover category, not just SG1. And nothing about this "hyperspace jump"? A few weeks hyperspace takes SGC ships in 2010 between galaxies, so the range must be insane. But that means the planets wouldn't be near Atlantis. |
BrentNewland chapter 2 . 6/14/2019 I'm confused. The BC-303 class is 195 meters long, the Galactica is 1.45 kilometers long. Why do you say they're almost the same size? The Daedalus class was already on the drawing board as well, and it's larger than the Prometheus. The Prometheus was a prototype and the design was eventually scrapped because of the mishmash of alien components. Why is the class still around? Why do you call the F-302's "sleek"? They're more like Cylon Raiders or Deathgliders in appearance. And I'm pretty sure they would have replaced the design a long time ago. I think you should re-edit the story to change the model numbers and descriptions. Also, you dumped way too many OC's and call signs on us at one time, I don't know who anyone is and I can't remember any of their names. |
Nick Balandiat chapter 20 . 3/23/2019 This was a nice fun story! |
Nick Balandiat chapter 7 . 3/20/2019 Great story! I wish the people who produce TV shows would actually listen to fans and the stories we want to experience! I love DIY fiction! |
Stalyon chapter 13 . 10/4/2017 Nice story, but Jaffa "ring transported" aboard the Galactica? Sorry, but that wouldn't work without a set of rings on the Galactica which it wouldn't have. Maybe you meant the Asgard Teleporter which the Goa'uld got access to later? That would make a lot more sense. |
jag389 chapter 21 . 8/26/2015 nicely done. |
anja.quickert.9 chapter 21 . 5/7/2014 Thx great story :-) |
EvilTheLast chapter 21 . 12/12/2013 Just read it in one read. Good story. |
chain.reader chapter 21 . 7/4/2013 If this is finished you may want to mark it as 'complete' in the system... |
EffervescentNova chapter 3 . 7/1/2013 The Twelve colonies all existed in the same system, thus any scan of the system would have revealed all the colonies. There would have been more than just the small group of survivors on Caprica than those lead by those of Sam Anders, it may have made more sense if there had been only those few around the capital city Caprica city. Also this is clearly the Pegasus galaxy which was dominated by the Wraith exclusively for over 10,000 years, the Wraith did not allow other civilazations to grow to a point where they might challenge them. This is why it was a poor idea to place the colonials in the Pegasus galaxy in your fic. Since the SGC have intergalactic travel capability it would have been sensible to make this an entirely new galaxy or at the least leave them in the milky way. The Goa'uld cared little for exploration for it's own sake and many civilizations had buried their gates long ago to escape Goa'uld dominion, so this again supports the possibilty of the colonials existing in the milky way. Also the Goa'uld power base was in the milky way, and considering the fact the Wraith do not tolerate any challenge any to their dominance and the fact that Jaffa and Goa'uld hosts are all a viable food source for them, it is again difficult to envisage the Wraith and Goa'uld occupying the same galaxy. Finally the Hyperspace travel, does not require hops or jumps as you call it. They do not have to exit hyperspace like Wraith ships. Hyperspace is only limited by the speed at which you can travel through it, as well as the crew resources needed to support prolonged expeditions. That said, I also feel you have gotten Tigh's character down well. I personally feel that the SG1 characters have always been 1 dimensional anyway, but if you can write the colonials as well as you have so far, this fic could get very intense very quickly! Sorry for the long review but, many writers often complain of one sentence reviews without anything constructive in them. Hope this helps and is appropriate. |
EffervescentNova chapter 2 . 7/1/2013 This is not the 1980's foreigners don't even say Da and Ja in movies anymore. Also a battlestar should have been a hell of a lot bigger than a Prometheus class vessel. The landing pods alone would have made up a large chunk of the Prometheus' volume. There are a few too many relatives in this fic serving together, even if you except that a dedicated career woman and an old man would have that many children, the chances that they would all follow such familiar career paths as well as reach such promising positions in their respective areas while their parents are also still active, makes it difficult to suspend disbelief. But this is a good idea for fic, and I'm eager to read the rest of this, so I will! |
Just a Crazy-Man chapter 21 . 1/4/2013 Love it! |
