About the size, i saw some people saying that BC-304 should be 750 meters long. But 650 meters sounds believable too. Nice video

[@CN.23]

The interior of the BC-304 must either really filled or heavily occupied by arms or other essentials. As the F-302s are roughly 2.5 times the width of a F-35 and the Nimitz carrier can hold ~12-14 aircraft where catapults 1 and 2 launch from. As per a Reddit discussion "Spinobreaker" described how the F302s scale in comparison to the BC-304, but also stated the following . For the record, the sizes of the vfx models are as follows F302 Height - 5.8m Width - 26.2m Length - 14.2m X303 Height - 193m Width - 250m Length - 520m (for some reason i always remember this as 550m... idky) BC304 Height - 154m Width - 372m Length - 732m If anyone is interested the following is his deviant art page. www.deviantart.com/spinobreaker/gallery/67588965/stargate-now-tech-breakdown

[@tyrannicpuppy]

Done a similar comparison to the Nimitz myself a few years back on the SG subreddit when trying to work out how much naquadah was required to build these beauties. Was some fun math. Helps to give the ship it's true scale too. The DVD Magazine has a lot to apologize for when it comes to sizing. However, that miniscule size is also mentioned on the original concept art diagrams. A shame given that the sizing won't work with the F-302 when sized for human beings at that scale. So the 650-700m number must be the more accurate value. You did a pretty good job on the video. Confidence and performance will surely get better as you go, so keep at it there. There are a few minor gaffs here and there that could use a bit of refinement before posting as well. For instance you have mispelt Does on the two thumbnails you displayed for the other videos. Definitely subbing to see what else you post in future.

[@bobingabout]

Something I think you missed... I didn't hear you mention it either when talking about power supply, or the FTL engine, but... While it can be powered by the ZPM, the Hyperdrive is normally powered by a Naquadria reactor, regulated with a special regulating buffer component, as Naquadria is highly unstable. To be fair, it's described as how the X-303 promethius Hyperdrive works, not the BC-304s, but considering the 304 was designed before they got a ZPM, or Asguard power supply, you have to assume that they still used this as the Hyperdrive power supply as a default.

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

@bobingabout in my research the 303 and 304 received asgard hyperdrive along with the shields the asgard hyperdrive are powered by naquada generators not naquadria only the human built hyperdrive engine use naqudria as a short cut as earth didint have the means to generate the immense energy needed but with the asgard engines they use powerful naquadah generators the show moved away from naquadria engines after the prometheus engine core blew up cause after that they retro fitted an alkesh hyperdrive engine then late upgraded to asgard engine so no from the show info and info I reserch for the video they don't use naquadria generators also the zpm was a add on power booster same as the asgard core the ships own power was only naquadah generators

[@bobingabout]

​@@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y Considering for the most part "Put more energy in, Ship goes faster" is a general rule (Which is why a ZPM can get them to Pegasus in 2 weeks, rather than 2 months), they'd either still need a Naquadria generator to power the asgard hyperdrive, or a significant improvement in the Naquadah generator technology. Asgard technology doesn't actually use Naquadah to power their ships, they have something called Neutrino-ion generators. So unless the Asgard shared this technology, and it was incorporated into the 304, then the 304 likely still uses Naquadria to power the hyperdrive. I mean, I'm not going to outright say you're wrong, I'm sure the Asgard hyperdrive is more efficient than the Goa'uld design, but it also goes faster, so unless you can point me to specific evidence that it isn't using a Naquadria reactor to power the hyperdrive (in the absence of a ZPM), I'm going to assume it is.

[@John.S92]

In one episode where Michell manually maneauvre the Odessey to have Samantha Carther who was in a space suit safely touch town in the vessel's starboard flightbay, there and with many other scenes featuring the BC F-304, that the ship is not that large, along with stats. mentioning about 8-16 F-302 fightercrafts, and with a crew of around 200, so with a size of 225meters in length as stats given, that seems far more plausible than a massive 650m,

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

there is many inaccuracies with the size I have a new video coming out soon that I try to find the right size and let's just say its big I'm not saying your wrong or right I'm just saying there more to take into account for size other that what are brains percive in scale on screen I hope my new video helps to define the size in a way that makes sense

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

also I just worked it out if the 304 was 225m it can not fit the f-302s in the hanger as the ship is to small. the f-302 26m wingspan would be the size width wise of the entire hangers width so tell me do you still think the 304 is 225m long

Small correction. The Prometheus and the Daedalus are not sister ships. That would imply ships within the same class. Those two vessels aren't anywhere near the same class by any measure. I also take issue with the use of the term Battle cruiser. Let's be honest, they chose that term because it sounds cool. But that's a whole different conversation. As is the one where the Air Force is sailing warships, but whatever!

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

it's stated by Dr. mckay in the show that the daedalus is the sister ship to the prometheus regardless if they are two diffrent design of ship, and for battle cruiser, I'm not sure about classes, but I would call it a deep space carrier myself

[@jbarninatus5898]

The first armaments was Gatling guns. The Railguns came later on.

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

the daedalus has always had rail guns maybe your thinking of the prometheus as in the episode of atlantis when they bring railguns to atlantis, its stated that the rail guns where slated for the prometheus so I'm guessing the 304 was built with the railguns from the start

[@Eaglestorm27]

You knew what is the most strange part for the BC-304 . It"s the fact it is a twentyfirst century building a ship who's size either match the Nimitz or are two times bigger . As for the power source , I alway thought that the BC-304 should have a bigger version meant to powering the systems such as the shield and the sublight engine . We know that the Railgun are powered by integrated naquadah generator on their own . Hell , I was wondering why they didn't build larger railguns or a spinal variant meant to accelerate to percentage of the speed of light , they have the energy and the technology to do that . I mean come on , you think that accelerating a ship with a millions tons of tonnage at several ten thousands gees in short time is far much more complex than say accelerating projectiles with a mass of a few hundreds kilos to a couple of tons at percentage of the speed of light that could release kinetic energy in the range of hundreds of megatons or a couple gigatons . As for the Power core , I alway thought that power source that was given to us by the Asgard seemed using subspace as a power source . It"s too bad , they didn't describe more . However , the hull is strange , I know that the elements they used are very strong . The Trinium was say to be hundreds time stronger than steel ( was it tensile strength or compression strength ) and lighter than steel . The Naquadah seemed to be used to reduce the energy level the ship receive . However , We are in scifi universe , I alway imagined using a multilayered composite of fullerene and nanotube using said elements will increase the hull strength . I mean they have teleporters that could scan , transport a human being in the form of pure energy and send him /her at orbital range at bare minimum . If they have scanners to do that and energy , they could easly produced very efficient materials with a atomic-scale precision . It is quite strange , they didn't use other materials such as tungstene , titane or steel . I mean if you could mix them with the scifi elements and build it with the level of metamaterial physic that I spoke about , they could have made stronger hulls . In short , It was a fun video . However , the author did mention the problem of incoherencies and uncertainties that are present in the series .

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

@Eaglestorm27 great comment and ideas I love your take on the rail guns and the power plant in my guess is a large asgard design naquadah generators that powers the engines and shields with smaller naquadah generators scattered through the ship for secondary power and for size I want to believe that the x 303 is around 200m long and the bc 304 is round 700m as the 304 was constructed with a lot more alien tech and major asgard involvement but that's my take thanks for the comment

[@kevinwestrom4775]

I never understood for those ships why they didn't have/use a fire control computer able to track & auto-fire the gun turrets, instead of forcing a much slower process of manually tracking to fire at small attack craft. It would have been far more efficient than forcing ship personnel, i.e Ronan to manually fire & get frustrated enough to smash the control consoles..

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

yh I get that, when researching I couldn't find any mention of auto computer target tracking outside of target acquisition I imagine if it was built today it would have computer auto target and firing solutions without Manuel aim l, but I suspect the manual part was for the show and the scene but who know except the directors and producers

[@adams4075]

Naquadria was used in the 304's as its main power source. Naquadah is too weak to power then entire ship, as Naquadria can do according to the show I can't remember what episode.

naqudria was used to power the early x303 hyperdrive but was later replaced by an asgard design the ships never used naqudria for a power source as its to unstable

You compared to an aircraft carrier,then showed each hangar carrying 4-8 craft.Which don’t need a runway.The catapult of a Nimitz is less that 100 metres,maybe 90 meters.And looking at scenes in show 90 meters is probably too much.I would say it’s definitely less than 300 metres.It seems small on screen.

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

an F-302 has a wingspan of 26m double say the F/A 18 witch is a carrier aircraft so given the size of the f-302 I say it needs to be large with each hanger being at least 60m to 80m wide to be able to line up 2 F-302 next to each other for take off plus the bays each side of runway once you start to add it all up it starts to get big

[@paulmusgrave2243]

@@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y every sci-fi show has this problem,scaling has always been an issue.Generally on fly bys because they want an epic scene that lasts 60 seconds when really it should be 1-2 seconds.When O’Neil flys a 302 and ground staff are all around it you can see it’s way smaller than an f18.Maybe thats because it’s a practical model and it’s meant to be bigger or that the technology has advanced that they don’t need conventional jet engines.For me a Nimitz can launch 2 f18 from the prow of the ship side by side,around 90 meters.Then there’s the missile cells for scaling.This was a brilliant show btw one of my favourites and I don’t think they should bring it back and ruin it like Star Wars or Star Trek.

[@saquist]

650 meters is probably the wrong scale length for BC-304. Generally speaking there are 2 ways to scale ships in scifi. 1. By means of other ships 2. By Design Intent. Sometimes they will agree with each other...more often they don't. As a Structural Drafter and Designer I've done this many times. I prefer Design Intent. What is the max size does X304 need to carry 16 302 fighters. If The stargate is 6.7 meters in diameter the makes the X302 16 meters in wing span. The max size of X304 is 417 meters long. If X304 were 650 meters long the VLS tubes would be wide enough to fire a 3.7 meter Dia Falcon 9 rocket out of.😅

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

online i could only find 2 sizes for the 304 and like a say in the video going based of the f-302s size, 225m L is way to small so i opt for the larger 650m L size, now i see you point of view that the shows scale is based on what shot they need at the time and it doesn't always match between shots but i do think the 304 is 500m L or more to accommodate the f-302 hangers as the f-302s are 26m wide themselves so in my mind each hanger is like its own aircraft carrier in size so in that case imagine 2 Nimitz class carriers on either side of the 304 and go of that for a rough estimate but thats the fun thing about it we can debate ourselves the size unless stated directly from the creators witch I'm don't sure it has, and with the VLS missiles if their size is like the mark 41 at 2.21m diameter wide i see why you would think the neck would be to big but i don't think so due to tube doors probably being at least 5m wide but if you look at the way i have roughly worked it out i reckon the forward section of the 304 the neck is around 70m-100m wide to fit with the overall width of the ship but thats my rough measurements and probably not right but great comment by the way its great to discuss

[@saquist]

@@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y Indeed. I didn't want put a wall of text down but I will note additionally that if both bays are like Air craft carriers then I question why X304 only carries 16 fighters, where as Nimitz carries 60 to 100 aircraft. Also why such a small crew? The premise with Design Intent is to fit a useful purpose with the only a necessary scale. Scale follows resources and materials. Militaries always design a minimum viable product. Two of these ships were destroyed. You must ask your self "Did I need 2 650 meter 75% empty ships to carry 16 fighters?" In one episode its made clear the ships can't carry more than the small hundred or so people due to the limits of air. Finally construction consideration. Atlantis revealed these ships construction are easy to see from orbit. We have 480 meter dry docks and ship yards but nothing close to 650 meters. Norfolk can handle 340 meter carriers and they take 10 years to construct. Stargate pops 1 out every year. The USA suddenly got super efficient with the shipyards.

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

@saquist yh its definitely up to debate on size but I can imagine the ship having thick Hull and alot of space is possible engines and other ship essentials like air ducts and Jeffrey tubes I'm not sure there's a blueprint for deck layout anywhere online also its quit spacy inside with estimate 2m wide corridors nice size crew quarters I could go on but I do get your point plus and aircraft carrier holds plane underneath main deck the 304 dosent the hanger has the runway in the middle with two rows of 302s each side there could even be a passage way between the two hangers that would take up space but hay its all speculation we need a exact blueprint with decks hull pipes and all the other things in the walls for an accurate cut away also just to point out the enterprise E from trek is 680m long so compare the 2 and make a estimate also I think the crew size of 200 makes sense for the ship given the explanation Rodney and Caldwell say in the show but again its all speculation only the creator of the ship knows for sure whats what

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

@saquist also to add on to the ship building yh I don't understand the quickness of the construction unless there's asgard tech involved with construction. it don't make sense but as we never see it outside the x 303 hanger who knows what infrastructure they have to build the 304 but I reckon the build the ship in and underground hanger till space worthy then moved to orbit for finial interior construction allowing for the next ship to start construction but again as we don't see any of the infrastructure from ore refining to part construction its really hard to speculate the method and time outside the shows dialog but it's intreasting to imagine

[@saquist]

@@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y carriers can carry 36 fighters on the main deck. Space fighters don't need runways. If Daedalus is 650 meters long then they should have 72+ fighter compliment easily. Then obviously fighters could be stored under the flight deck because what else would you do with that space give Nimitz size length and height. I will respectfully disagree even with creator of the ship as to whether he actually took these considerations into account. Andrew Probert creator of Enterprise D and Refit Enterprise CLEARLY did because he's a designer and US NAVY. He understand what these scales mean. I've done this with Sovereign class and its creator. John Eaves. Sad to say it's the worst designed ship named Enterprise. (Poorly planned separation plane, Quantum torpodo turret that fires through the windshield of the Captains Yacht, no engines for the stardrive...etc...etc) You'll find that if John Eaves doesn't think he had time in 1 year of preproduction to design Sovereign properly...the designers on Stargate SG1 certainly didn't have that time either.

their is a few shots in Atlantis where the bridge shows the neck out the window in the position i have said yes it may not have been verbally said but going of the shows visuals i choose the neck for the bridge however in the ark of truth movie when the odyssey goes through the supergate it does imply the that the bridge is at the top as thats where it shows sg1 at the moment the ship passes through the event horizon but that could be due to directors choice rather than actual ship designers choice, maybe both can be bridges, maybe the neck is the bridge for the Daedalus and the top is the bridge for the odyssey i don't know but its fun to speculated

You way oversized the 304. She only holds 12 302s and 16 missiles. A Nimitz carries over 60 aircraft and a destroyer 1/3 its size carries 96 missile tubes.

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

you would think that and yes it seems big but I did another video doing a breakdown of the size and it has to be around that size for the F-302 to fit in it

The BC304 can defeat any body in Syfy..

[@kevinwestrom4775]

Any other ship in scyfy? Disagree, as it couldn't defeat the Milky Way replicators, and doubtful of the Pegasus replicators either.

[@Seastallion]

​@@kevinwestrom4775 Disagree. The only reason it couldn't deal with the Replicators was because it was built after the Milky Way (not really though) Replicators were destroyed and thus wasn't weaponized with that foe in mind. If it had been, the BC-304 could've easily been equipped with an upscaled ARW (Anti-Replicator Weapon, like the handgun version shown on SGA) that O'Neill got from the Ancient Repository of Knowledge. Thor had equipped a planet-wide version on his ship and Dr. McKay mentioned that Earth had been in the process of building their own when they were dealing with the Pegasus Replicators. So equipped, a BC-304 would be able to quickly and easily take out a Replicator ship.

Ori ships one banged it and the UNSC Infinity would eat it alive

[@Seastallion]

@@bracesbread01 After the Asgard Beam Weapon upgrades, the Ori ships were no match with the BC-304 one versus one. They took out two Ori ships in a row the first time it was tested. A BC-304 with a ZPM boosting it is extremely powerful, and it did those things without one. With one, the shields and hyperdrive are very ridiculous, and they're already ridiculous without. The shields were able to withstand a direct strike from a sustained solar flare. The hyperdrive is one of the fastest in all of sci-fi. The BC-304 has very strong defense, and if that doesn't work extremely few could catch up to it in an escape.

​@@Seastallionlove this comment the 304 is a beast add a zpm and not much can beat it I wager it can take on most other scifi ship in one on one combat its definitely built for battle

Wtf happened to all the actual sci fi shows…..

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

i know right i miss them but we've had some good ones like the expanse and the Orville and the new treks been overall decent i think the problem is budget and writers i imagine space battles cost a lot in CGI to make so only big production company's can produce sci fi show and the new writers can created anything new its all copy's of whats come before but thats my guess

[@lech1985wawaify]

Shitty data from the start?? And you consider yourself a NERD :D How on earth could the 304, being 650m long, fit into the dock where the 303 was built? Ha'tac was 3-3.5 times larger than the Great Pyramid of Giza, which gives a maximum diameter of 800 m. And 304 was how many times smaller? If you want to rely on data from games, skip this game :D

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

the size of 650m I got was from the cgj model, and the 225 was the one I found online I just assume its the 650m cause 225m is to small but like I said in the video it's up to you to decide for yourself witch size you choose It's not like I just made them up if I was to guess a suitable size given every thing I'd wager somewhere from 300m to 500m long but again theirs conflicting information if you find the correct size from the creator please let me know

[@lech1985wawaify]

@@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y And you, as a "nerd", don't know that CGI models change every season and even every episode or scene? And taking them as a basis for calculating anything is... Stupidity?? How can you explain that a 650-750 meter ship landed on a platform in Atlantis? Where the tallest building is about 850-900 meters high. And the diameter is 3.5-4 kilometers? Or how on earth two G.Ford class aircraft carriers were crammed into the dock where 303 was being built :D And another task. What were the dimensions of the USS Defiant? Because there are also cool numbers here :D From several dozen to 300+ meters. According to the CGI model and the scale of other ships. Logical gaps that cannot be explained in the plot and pure logic. Therefore, it is better to stick to the official data and not make them up.

[@SCI-FI-NERD-DRMCK4Y]

​hey buddy I'm doing a video to work out the size of the 304 coming out soon I would like your take on it when it does as my workings out make the ship big and i welcome criticism to argue the size if your intreasted
