The Best Stargate Ships From Every Civilization

[@FBGbarge]

Just wanted to chime in and say thanks! I was fortunate to have been a part of the design/build team (practical sets) on each and every ship and fighter. ❤

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

That is AMAZING! Well thank you for your awesome work

[@neutchain7838]

That's awesome mate. I always thought the 304s were great looking ships. They just have that look that screams military vessel when you first look at it and the design really looks like the people of Earth built it, very much reminds me of blue navy military vessels. What I love about this franchise is that every tech can be traced back to an epsiode when they found it/stole it/bought it/developed it. I really hope someone with a bit of competence and a decent writing team will pick the IP up and do something good with it.

[@Asteczz]

That is amazing. Those were some very cool ships. Although the ships in this video are absolutely fantastic, I am partial to the ship used by the quirky guy Martin and his friends in S5 e12 Wormhole Extreme. Also it would have been nice to see ships from the Tollans and the Nox. Thanks for contributing to one of my favorite TV shows.

[@vaniellys]

The best thing about Stargate is seeing the evolution of Earth from 90's tech to intergalactic superpower. Seeing each Tau'ri ship for the first time was a special event.

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Agree. Best part of the show

[@Johnny_Ocha]

That was an excellent compilation! I just got back into re-watching the whole series from beginning. I still can't belive that it's been almost 30 years since SG1 came out.

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Thank you so much for the praise!

[@tonyv014]

30 years!? Don't say that. I remember watching the first episode on Showtime here in the States.

[@Johnny_Ocha]

@tonyv014 Haha. Yep yep. Ditto. Time sure did fly.

[@fgdj2000]

Stargate - even though it was on tv for so long and was so successful - still feels like a franchise/ universe that has barely touched the surface in terms of its possibilities.

[@izerochan]

Commenting before watching; I better see the Destiny. Edit: Ahh, the Destiny. One of my favorite Ancient ships.

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Would never leave her off! Stargate Universe was great

[@FBGbarge]

I wish the viewers could've seen Destiny with all the lights on. That was a ginormous set with an amazing amount of detail that was never seen. Art, construction, and set dec were "firing on all cylinders." We were still adding to the already huge build when the show was canceled.

[@viktorstojanovic9007]

Destiny is possibly the least technologically advanced ship we see in the franchise, it doesn't even have a hyperdrive, by far the worst ship the ancients ever built

[@NATIK001]

I think the Travelers deserved a mention, they are the only humans besides Tau'ri we see with their own interstellar fleets based on their own designs. We know the Tollan also had interstellar ships, but we never saw them and the other humans we see with interstellar capability usually use ships designed and built by another race/empire. Talking about Ancient warships while only off-hand mentioning the Atlantis cityship and only showing but not even mentioning the Aurora class is almost sacrilege, they are both much more important starships to the Ancients than the Destiny and the Puddlejumpers, with the Puddlejumpers arguably not even being starships, since they do not have hyperdrives and have to rely on stargates or other ships to go anywhere. I also question the idea that Ha'taks can detach their inner pyramid from their outer parts, it's never seen or mentioned on show. If it happens anywhere it must be in secondary canon somewhere. That said the Ha'tak are notoriously inconsistent, more so than any other ships on the show, just look at the shots shown in this video, where the CGI shows them as three sided but the spec drawings shown off by Carter shows them as four sided. The show never seemed able to decide on their actual dimensions. Last little nitpick is calling the original Prometheus hyperdrive a reverse-engineered Goa'uld drive. It was really a brand new design only loosely based on the core idea of hyperspace travel, which the Tau'ri first saw in action on Goa'uld ships. The Naquadriah hyperdrive was unique in a number of ways, but was also a total failure of Tau'ri design. It was replaced by a drive straight up lifted from a Goa'uld Alkesh, and that drive was then replaced by an Asgard designed and built drive.

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

I’d classify any ship that can travel to different star systems as a star ship, no matter how it does it

[@greg8909]

The aliens hidden on earth in SG1 also have spaceships.

[@killingragethrowback]

Star Trek ships can also dip into a star with it's metaphasic shields. And those glowy things in front of the nacelles are called ramscoops or bussard collectors. Their job is to collect stellar matter for conversion to fuel. Just pointing out that someone did this concept first.

[@originalShorai]

You didn't cover any of the more special dreadnought style ships like Anubis or the Wraith Super Hive. Or any of the smaller races.

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Some day we hope!

[@JoeyJoejoe-sq9io]

I never realized stargate was underrated. I guess I'm still thinking of the days or yore when it was playing twenty times a week. It definitely gets the prize as the sci fi franchise with the fewest totally stupid episodes. That deserves some acclaim, especially with the Acolyte out.

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Those were the good old days! These days it’s treated like an afterthought sadly.

[@MWBalls]

@@GiantFreakinRobot Probly a good thing that the franchise has been forgotten. We dont want the people making current Sci-fi to try and make anything new in it.

[@mahatmarandy5977]

Worth noting all the dimensions stated in here are surmises. The Gate franchise refused to ever give out any hard numbers for any of the ships. There are no “official” sizes (They had a reason for doing this)

[@kevreid82]

The first x302 was interstellar capable. At least it had a hyperdrive

[@HarveyAndToddTheWraith]

I know Stargate isn't that well known as some other sci-fi shows but calling in "most underrated" feels off...

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Why? It’s a huge franchise that most ignore. It should be up there with Trek

[@HarveyAndToddTheWraith]

@@GiantFreakinRobot It feels weird to call it that. I just don't think about it that way...

[@kevreid82]

I always thought the us navy should have operated the ships, or built their own in parallel to the air force.

[@gamerforever4837]

It's still better than sesame street for colored shirts.

[@ElysiaWhitemoonOmega]

is this a computer voice as the pronounciations are wonky. it also seems to use mileds at one time and meters at others

[@mkohlhorst]

Question, where did the idea of the pyramid separating from the super structure come from? It was never shown in the show nor mentioned.

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Because the superstructure is a weapons platform.

[@mkohlhorst]

@@GiantFreakinRobot Where was that ever stated? All throughout the show they're shown as a single structure constructed together, they're never shown separating nor is it mentioned as being a feature.

[@Forced2DoThis1]

How do you claim that Stargate is an "Underrated Franchise"? 🤨 And Carter DIDN'T design that ship!

[@michaelpippa1540]

Watched the video about how ugly the space ship is in The Ark. Agree. Started watching this video. Saw the Promethius. Really? Looks like it belongs in a Lego movie.

[@tonycollins1216]

1st 😂

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Hoping there are enough Stargate fans out there that you aren’t the last! Stargate deserves more respect

[@TrangleC]

I never got into Stargate. Every time I came across it when zapping through channels, it was just a bunch of stereotypical looking 90s era TV actors walking around the same forest in their fake military gear and running into people wearing the same generic "burlap peasant outfits" and saving them from dudes wearing cheap LARP latex-ey looking versions of those Egyptian god themed masks from the movie. Every single episode seemed to look exactly the same and have basically the same plot. I gathered as much as that there apparently was space battle CGI stuff in later seasons of the show, but at that time I was already over it. I got enough of that from apparently better shows like Babylon 5 or the new Battlestar Galactica.

[@GiantFreakinRobot]

Try Stargate Atlantis or Universe. You don’t have to spend two seasons walking through the forest to get to the good stuff with those shows.

[@JimyDane]

To be honest I've watched all three of the series you've mentioned, and by far Stargate was the most enjoyable if you start from season 1 of SG-1 it will take you some time to get into it once you're into you can't quit.

[@danielyeshe]

I thought that before I watched it too. If you start from the beginning and watch in order I think you'll have a different experience.
