What if the SGC went ahead with the Eurondan alliance? SG-1 establishes contact and the initial deal but leaves after that. The SGC send more heavy water and receive the device with the eurondan knowledge to make heavy water generators this achieving fusion, the power for defense shields and the medicine which can heal wounds in a matter of hours or days rather than weeks or months.

This has been asked before and I’m not interested in the moral argument (it is wrong to make deals with genocidal lunatics despite what NATO has done in the past (I say NATO because pinning operations paper clip and dragonfly solely on the Americans isn’t fair))

Also not interested in the idea ‘it removes the stakes from a storytelling point of view’

Having the Eurodan tech would render oil useless, the effects on the global economy might be serious initially until the world has a whole switches over. With less money being spent maintaining military power abroad on Earth the SGC gets more funding for more units, off world bases and R&D.

The X-30- programme churns out more ships at a higher rate, nothing serious, instead of there being one X-303 at antartica there are 2/3 and perhaps one X-304 to take on Anubis.

Other areas of tech take off, a moon base established perhaps? What else may be the result of this?

Normally my sleep is quite good anywhere between 6-10 hours but have always had difficulty nodding off. Lately I’m struggling to fall asleep and barely getting 5 hours a night. I don’t have any particular anxieties thankfully. I try and stay healthy but I’m falling down majorly on sleep. I get up at 6am most mornings, workout, don’t drink caffeine after midday and take melotonin or nytol if I’m really desperate to nod off. I’m wondering how common this is and what people found helps them nod off.

What new ship types do you think might appear in the new season or what ships did the Tau’ri develop to become a galactical power?

Here’s my ideas:

BC 305/306 improved Daedalus class battle cruisers, the workhorse of the Tau’ri fleet with improved shields and weapons and hyper drives for fast travel to Atlantis (in my mind it’s back in Pegasus)

MS-101 mining ships designed specifically for transport of things like naquadah and trinium from mining colonies, slower hyperdrives for shorter trips within the Milky Way

CS-101 colony ships for moving materials and people to off world colonies within the Milky Way and the Pegasus

Bombard/KYAGT: made for planetary bombardment, apocalyptic ships with deploy naquadah enhanced nukes, swarms of drones which each have a tactical nuke on them which can fly down from the ship parked in orbit and hit targets and Tau’ri reversed engineered Ancient drones. When a Tau’ri enemy sees one of these in orbit they know it’s Kiss Your Ass Goodbye Time.

Tau’ri puddle jumper: reversed engineered from ancient jumpers quick scout ships used in both Pegasus and Milky Way for exploration through the gate, light, fast and lightly armed
