I am a huge SG fan, and as much as I would like to believe the Prometheus is invincible I think the UNSC has the upper hand.[/quote] Prometheus was KIA over Tegalus. It was also a prototype.[/quote]
Oh, and there was me thinking it was MEANT to fly about in two peices.
Seriously, F**K off, I was making a semi-witty remark showing my affections for Prometheus.[/quote] Prototype, meaning it was a testbed for a Tau'ri ship.
Even with the Asgard beam weapons, it is heavily suggested that they are no-where near as powerful as those fitted to Odyssey. Simply due to the fact no Asgard power core, and no ZedPM to power them. DERP. Still strong enough to burn through Titanium-A like butter. And the Asgard shields would laugh at the UNSC's weaponry.
Ah, Odyssey, my bad.
I can't argue this point, but neither can you as SG shields have no canon strength, as they fit the plot. At it's weakest UNSC ships would crush the SGC's "fleet".
So we're going by absolute low end? You didn't say that. But every time the shields have taken a hit, it was from a energy weapon. Projectiles might just bounce off.
With this in mind UNSC ships of the line are better equipped to fight a war. The advantage SGC has is the 304s are incredibly manoureravble when required, wiping the floor with the UNSC in this regard. Better equipped? BALLS. You're conveniently forgetting the Asgard beaming tech. Nuke + beam = dead UNSC ship. SG team in Kull power armor + beam = unstoppable rampage through the UNSC ship. And seeing as how there is no precedent for beaming tech in the Ninth Age of Reclamation... no counters. Also, once again, the Asgard beams help a lot.
No.
As we don't know how beaming tech works you cannot say "Beam beats all" The Wraith blocked it after a single engagement and we know UNSC frigates are outfitted with advanced EM warfare equipment. (see: LNoS)
Kull power armour has never been used in that context, I remember a canon reason as to why but it alludes me. Convinient plot to stop uber SG team granted but canon never the less. Something to do with it being fused to the host. Wraith blocked it because they already had experience with it. (See: Lost Tribe) And you're trying to say that the EM suites on UNSC frigates instantly negate beaming, even though the UNSC has never run into this kind of technology? Derp.
Also, it's been three years since Kull Power Armor has been studied by the scientists at Area 51. We know a human can use the suit(Vala)...but fine, until they actually say/show in the canon that SG teams now have Kull Armor elements, I'll drop it.
The USNC has greater production facilities. Longswords "pwn" 302s, no contest. This I agree with. F-302s are crud when compared to most spacefighters.
On the ground it is much the same, UNSC have greater numbers & better weaponry. WHAT?
Zat. Staff weapon. Staff CANNON. FN P90 w/armor piercing naquadah tipped rounds. SCAR-H w/same rounds. M60 w/same rounds. M82s w/same rounds. The prototype NAQUADAH GENERATOR powered Energy Sniper.
Spartans? Try Kull Armor. Also that plasma dispersion armor.
But fine, say the UNSC win on the ground. They'd get pasted in space. Even worse once the Tau'ri cap a few UNSC ships. Upgrade those...
MA5C, twice the kinetic energy, and significantly greater range than most of those weapons. lol no. Unless you're going by CoD.
The M99 guass rifle much? The one in active service with the UNSC.You mean the one mounted on the back of the crap tactical vehicle known as the Warthog? The one with the exposed seats? Sorry.
SPARTANS outclass kull warriors so much it's not funny. Kull warriors are better than regular humans, but as the show progressed they became more and more easily killed. I take that as them not being the all powerful soldiers they were slated to be. Spartan IIIs die like flies. Look at Reach. The Kull soldiers were killed with a DEW reverse-engineered with ANCIENT TECHNOLOGY. So...that obviously means that Kull Warriors can be one shot by your average marine with a Type-52 Directed Energy Pistol/M6D Magnum huh? No. Also, they adapted to the lifeforce scrambler in one episode.
