frdbrlw1 chapter 5 . 3/22 ORI ships dont use lasers it uses a energy beam weapon and pulse weapon , that what the asgard copied for the asgard plasma beam weapons. |
frdbrlw1 chapter 4 . 3/22 Regular nukes do zilch to asgard shields, even goa'uld shields could easily tank 2 1000 megaton nauqada nuclear missles, the shield would prevent any ship from jumping behind the shield. Also Ancient shields hug the hull. Where are the abw's that are superior to lasers in every way. Those ships could have just launched drones and insta killed that entire fleet. |
Emporer Bloodfire chapter 1 . 12/25/2019 your ships need beam weapons, the ancients relied on their drone wepons and lost to the wraith, granted they are extremely powerful but can be depleated a beam weapon will continue so long as you have enough power to use them. |
loki98065 chapter 16 . 8/16/2019 really enjoy this. shame u stopped |
Azrael chapter 3 . 1/20/2019 Of course, the colonials speak english, and with a canadian accent i bet. This story just upgraded from awful to abominably deplorable. And no one is going to give my 10 minutes back. |
Azrael chapter 2 . 1/20/2019 See kids, this is why you don't write ffs before the series on which they are based are finished (or at least the character arc of one of your protagonists has ended) - you end up looking like a fool. Especially when your take is downright ludicrous and against everything that has happened in canon before that. |
HMS Gorgon chapter 4 . 12/8/2018 Those are some of the stupidest ship names ever. What kind of idiot would name a ship 'Pyrrhic Victory?' |
cristhianpas17 chapter 16 . 5/25/2018 Lets write awesome and forget that people have brains reeeeeeee. That's your history in short . |
macrossboy chapter 16 . 7/26/2017 Draco dormiens nunquam titillandus |
paulmoss chapter 16 . 9/19/2016 Loving this story keep up the good work. |
Guest chapter 1 . 4/22/2016 I like it but by sounds of things the humans are not using the technology as the Asgard hoped I am just curios did you intend it to be like this if so its still my Favourite one yet |
Phoenix4416 chapter 8 . 12/19/2015 Okay, I can't stay quiet any longer, overall you have a good idea for the story so far - note that I have only just finished chapter seven - but damn, does it need some work. I'm not trying to troll you but you need to get a beta to go right back to the start of it and fix the mistakes you've left and you really need to add in some character to the characters, at the very least make the reader actually care about them. In regards to your mistakes they come in a number of ways such as; 1. You are trying to impress upon the reader an impressive vocabulary and I don't know how you are doing it - maybe checking synonyms in word - but whatever it is please stop, you are using the wrong words a lot of the time and detracting from the story. 2a. If you are going to shorten "Mr." then you drop the period so it becomes "Mr", you absolutely do not drop the "r" 2b. Also in regards to Madame, don't bother shortening it, if you shorten it then some if not most readers will stumble when reading. 3. You are making big mistakes within the story when it comes to the plot, for example; in chapter 7 at the start you state that the cylons are in "the outer system" which - seeing as you were only just talking about the colonials celebrating - makes the reader presume that they are in the same system. However later on you have Tigh state that they are several hundred lightyears out (did you mean several hundred million miles by any chance or even AU). 4a. In regards to the processed algae the colonials have been consuming, you say that the colonials are tired from years of eating it, yet the Ionian nebula episode at most takes place within six months of the fleet visiting the algae planet and switching over to eating algae. 4b. Also by the Ionian nebula episode it as been at most three years since the fall of the colonies not four. There's also a few other areas where you mess up the colonial timeline which is why I seriously suggest getting a beta reader well versed in BSG lore. 5. Some of the plans are really not thought out such as the Kara Thrace plan and the Basestars just sitting there. The Cylons would have engaged Adama then and faked an attack on Kara's viper if only to hide the deception. Then you have Adama visiting her in the brig while the Cylons are still within Dradis range, Adama would not leave the CIC with hostiles so close even for a resurrected Kara - in fact canon Adama held her with a high degree of suspicion when she returned and found it difficult to trust her. Also in regards to ship combat, the Terrans/Tauri would be a lot more mobile in their first battle with the Cylons, it's basic ship warfare that a moving target is harder to hit. 6. You are really detail-heavy at the expense of your story. Don't get me wrong, I love details in a story, I like knowing the finer details such as supplies etc. The problem is you either miss things out or you contradict yourself later on. 7. Energy weapons. Now I know others have said this before but seriously, stop saying lasers as one of the main weapons of the Terrans. In canon ship-to-ship combat they were never used primarily because the energy weaponry they had which was primarily plasma based is far more destructive (if slower). Now I'm not saying the Terrans wouldn't have lasers, by all means they probably would, but they would be mixed in with the point defences since lasers are as fast as it gets so are perfect for shooting down missiles and fighters, against larger ships though they don't have the destructive power of the plasma weaponry. 8. You repeat the same thing. Stop. 9. The BSG characters may as well be different people seeing as how different they are from canon. Take for example when they find out about the Asgard AI (nice touch), there is absolutely no fear whatsoever from the colonials and this is despite the fact that they have been on the run from AI who are intent on destroying them. There's a lot of other problems in the story, many minor but they do add up. Nevertheless I am determined to finish it because all in all it does look like you do have a generally good idea for a story. All I ask is that you please get a Beta and go through the chapters with them |
jag389 chapter 16 . 9/2/2015 good story. hope you return o it someday. |
mundanebeast chapter 16 . 8/28/2015 Time to pay the piper |
Guest chapter 16 . 5/9/2015 Solar systems are really big. A space probe launched in the seventies took over thirty years to reach the orbital path of Pluto. There is not enough matter in most solar systems to construct the ships necessary for their wreckage to allow a person to hop from piece to piece to the edge of a system would require not millions or even trillions of destroyed ships but some incomprehensible number of them. |
