You seem to have mixed regular hive ship and the zpm enhanced super hive. When you discussed hives being larger than Atlantis you are showing image from the fight between Atlantis and super hive not regular hive. I think Daedalus once landed on a landing pad at the end of one of Atlantis piers so comparing that relative size to the graph about Daedalus against a hive contrasts with your claim about hive's size.

Please feature the Aurora class battleship in one of these breakdowns. Aurora was a great episode and I wish we had seen more of the Lantean warships!

I think when they say Atlantis has the area of manhattan island, they might mean the floor space, rather than the footprint. Manhattan island has an area of 59,1 km², the largest skyscrapers have a floor space of 0,4125km², some shopping malls have a floor space of 1km². 60km² floor space would be possible. If it is 4x4km in size, it would only need an average of 4 floors to have 60km² of floorspace.

God I wish they'd make more shows like this.

There are conflicting size reports all across the Atlantis series. The Aurora class Ancient Battleships were 3,500 meters long, and apparently Atlantis could dock 2 on each pier. That would make each pier over 7 kilometers long from the point they separate from the center of the city. That would have Atlantis at roughly 20,000 meters across at the base. If you take it the city ship could house 4 million people, with some sort of food growing facilities, manufacturing facilities etc, the 20 kilometer width actually starts to fit.

Quite bold, waiting to finish SG-1 before watching Atlantis. One of the best things about Stargate in its prime, is that wonderful overlap between the two series.

Atlantis handles the myth of Atlantis in-universe: the Ancients sank the city to avoid the Wraith then left through its gate, returning to Earth. The story of Atlantis came from those Ancients talking to humans about their lost, sunken city.

Love Atlantis with the Puddle Jumpers and Aurora Class Battle Ships. Puddle Jumpers were awesome. They turn the cloaks into shields and add a Hyperdrive to short hop.

Uh the hive ship could not ‘easily’ disable a BC304 deadalass class ship. That clip was of the ZPM powered hive ship which was vastly more powerful

The hive battling Atlantis in earth orbit was a super hive ship. It was improved via the use of a ZPM, as such it was larger then the standard hive.

We need more Stargate, would loved to see Destiny on screen as well ;)

As a French Canadian, being the assholes of Canada, eat a generous portion of fook yoo noodles! Just kidding, but still true that we are indeed the meanies of Canada! 😅 One thing though about McKay, he really evolved through this entire series, the episode where he started to lose himself was really amongst the my favorites of the entire franchise, the bromance between him and Shepard was really touching!

Canadian here, protesting in the comments. Rodney is a legend, a great character, and not annoying.

I always loved the lantean cruiser, the one that looks like an angry roided out puddle jumper, wish we got to see more of it other than that one episode This Mortal Coil. Destiny is a nice ship too

When O'Neill says "sorry" to McKay, he probably thought that's just how us Canadians say hello, lol!

Pretty sure that 35 meter reference was specifically intended for the smaller replicator spider ships. They are obviously much smaller than the mother ships. It's not the same ship somebody got their stats mixed up.

This is giving me such a nostalgia trip! Awesome work looking forward to more 👏

>Does a video on Atlantis size comparisons >Has watched exactly 2 episodes of the show oof

I have seen the actual City of Atlantis used in the show. It is about 10+ feet or so in size. AMAZING!

I love that you showed Bezos’ Dildomobile! 👍🏻

Crossing my fingers for Amazon picking up the 4th Stargate show

Just finished rewatching SG1 and i'm about halfway through Atlantis

We demand more Stargate content!

More SG content please

I really love Stargate Atlantis, wish it'd run longer or come back.

I like Gateship!

"The wraith ships had holding cells where prisoners were kept..." - I believe this would be called either a "galley" or a "chow hall".

i think your hive ship is the super hive ship powered by zpm.

See eye of Sahara about Atlantis info. No seriously there's some compelling discoveries in recent years.

This is amazing, I'm watching Stargate sg1 and Atlantis now. According to the order I found online

Gateship is a perfectly good name.

Thank you, British Ben, for doing a video about Stargate ships! We, Gaters, appreciate it! TO MORE STARGATE! :)

heh i would park my car into the jumper :D

I do think that the description of Atlantis being roughly the living space of Manhattan Island is better than what we do see. It doesn't really seem much like a "city" of Atlantis at the scale that makes it look like what you decide it is in this video.

Stargate is cool😊

Bro why is Stargate so underated

I've always imagined what it would be like if they were able to get to Destiny to save the crew, and in doing so they were able to bring all the technology that they had accumulated on SG-1 and SG Atlantis over to the Destiny. They could completely repair the Destiny and restore her to her original glory, and integrate not only updated Ancient technology to the Destiny, but also integrate the Asgard technology to the Destiny. Imagine a perfectly restored Destiny where they add four intergalactic hyperdrive engines, a fully integrated Asgard power core with upgraded energy beam weapons and transport beaming technology. Then update the power systems so that Destiny is run on anywhere from 4-6 ZPM's. Yes, that would be overkill, but then they could delegate what power systems are used on what. Destiny could still use the original power systems that need to be recharged by a sun for the minimal systems on the ship, the Asgard power core for the secondary systems above the minimal systems, and then the ZPM's for higher functioning systems. Then imagine that McKay and Carter are able to stabilize the wormhole drive technology so it's not so destructive or all power consuming so that it can be utilized on Destiny which would allow them to bring her back to either the Pegasus galaxy or the Milky Way. Destiny would keep its skin shields, and then could have either an Atlantis type secondary shield added for added protection to go along with a cloaking device like Atlantis has. The phasing technology could be added to Destiny as well as the time dilation technology that comes with the Asgard power core system. The learning platform that's on Atlantis could be added to Destiny as well that would also include the Asgard knowledge base, and then imagine if Carter, Jackson, and McKay designed a program that converted all of the Ancient and Asgard knowledge and writings in their systems to English making it easier for everyone to work on their systems. Destiny could also be upgraded to only work with the Ancient gene, so that the bridge can be upgraded, and a proper chair room could be installed. Destiny would have the Asgard beaming technology added like I said before, but would also keep the original energy pulse firing canons that it has as well, but would also have Ancient drones added to its arsenal making Destiny a truly scary ship to go up against, and also the flagship of the SGC. Yea I'm a nerd.

The ori appeared in the last two seasons of sg-1

The hive ship you showed was bigger then a normal one because of the zpm. Also the image where its fighting Atlantis the hive ship is closer to the camera due to Atlantis falling into the earth's atmosphere. An ori ship is also that size compared to an earth ship. Look at the episode where the combined fleets fight the replicators to get more of an idea of the size of an hive ship.

Great video :)

My favorite flying city

The Ancients absolutely did not give the humans a helping hand to build space-ships. That's a major recuring theme throughout all of SG1, and somewhat SGA as well. The Ancients, once ascended did absolutely *nothing* to help the people on the mortal plane. They adhere to the principal of non-interference, as they believe free will, and an ascended being is pretty powerful, enough to make a mortal believe them to be gods, which is what the Ancients want to avoid (unlike their brethern, the Ori). There are a few ascended Ancients that did help the Tau'ri (somewhat), but you can count them all on one hand. And the city-ship Atlantis was originally located in Antarctica, before the Ancient had to flee the Milkyway galaxy due to a pleague (send by the Ori), and ended in Pegasus.

Canadian here, protest approved.

Whoa, great video, guess I have what to watch for a while now

At 7:00 thats a super hive ship so it should be larger then the regular bjt yeah they are much larger Also i love rodney he will grow so much in atlantis

People usually think Atlantis is bigger than it actually is, because in the show it's compared to Manhattan. However, this is a misunderstanding...what they are actually saying in the show is the internal volume of all the buildings in the city, is the same as the internal volume of all the buildings in Manhattan. The "buildings" on Atlantis are much closer together, and also extend quite a bit farther vertically. So yes, it's big, but it's not the size of Manhattan. Also, the hive ship you showed as being bigger than Atlantis was a unique one that they hacked a bunch of ZPM's into, which made it grow MUCH larger. Regular hive ships are large, but they aren't "dwarf Atlantis" large.

2:29 can never be unseen now 🤨

Wow

The Beast Mothership from Homeworld Cataclysm

Yes do all the Stargate ships including including the ones from Stargate Universe Atlantis and SG-1

Wow, a video that actually gets the size of Atlantis correct :D

4:37 *Points to the eye of the Sahara*

Sweet sounds good

I think the official Ori ship length is off. Given that the Daedalus is really around 650m when you look at its internal hanger space compared to an F-302. The Ori ships are many times larger than a BC-304 and are likely closer to 2.5km in length. This is also seen in the episode where an Ori ship is rammed by a Ha'Tak, the Ha'tak is a fraction of the Ori ships size despite being 700m.

Imagine if the Replicators merged with the Borg.

Thanks to McKay, I say "ZPM" like a Canadian... Zat-Pee-Am :-)

Another good stargate video. I wouldnt say it was because the wraiths hyperdrive engines were less advanced, it was because the hives had hulls with organic material in them. The radiation from hyperspace travel would cause damage to the hull which had to be repaired. They would drop out and let the hull regenerate before jumping back in.

Do you plan to do a video on Lantean/Asuran ships (besides the Jumpers) at any point? I’ve always found the Lantean designs to be some of the best and most unique, it’s just a shame the dimensions are so inconsistent depending on the source material. That chart shows them to be about 2/2.3km long, and the ori mothership to be about 3km long. There is also a shot of an asuran Aurora hovering over a copy of Atlantis while bombing it with drones, and in that shot, the aurora looks to be about the same length as the central tower.

Super hive: very big can fight weakened Atlantis Regular hive: pretty big, would get obliterated by Atlantis, and even they struggled with a deadalus class without the Asgard upgrades. With them, hives are just city size targets, and shortly after, space dust.

Hallowed are the Ori

There are the Wraith Darts and the Wraith Super ship at the end of season 5.

didn't the superhive grow to an even further size

Wow I’ve never watch the Stargate series, after watching the original movie with Kurt Russell, I never saw a need for it until today! It looks like I’m gonna start watching it because of this epic critique in this awesome video. 👍🏾

Main ones remaining from Atlantis are the Wraith Cruiser, Wraith Transport, Lantean/Asuran Warship, Traveller colony ships. Also the (spoilers for series finale) Super Hive ship which crossed the intergalactic void to earth in a matter of hours. Might be good to add in the Destiny and the Stargate Seed Ships from Stargate Universe.

I would just like to say that the Daedalus lands on Atlantis but yet you see that style of ship along with the patak ships and the Asgard ships if the Asgard ship is as big as you say it is thus making the Daedalus that big and then making Atlantis bigger than what you think 🤔

The Ori were actually ascended beings of the same species as the Ancients, who had an ideological split with them long ago. The Ori ships were crewed by loyal Ori followers, and the Priors did recieve some powers from the Ori themselves.

ATLANTUS ❤️

The Jumpers...while I like them over all (I'd love to have one of course!), IMHO the Ancients skimped out! The jumpers are basically flying vans, even their armaments seem to have been a afterthought (and only powerful because the Ancients are just technologically ahead of almost everybody else!)...I'd really have loved to see a purpose build war-jumper (so it has energy-weapons and not just micro-drones, shields etc. etc.)

BRING BACK STARGATE ATLANTIS!

And you'll see another ship; the ancient warship will blow your mind...

First!! Love your videos!

"it's a ship. That fits through the gate." No? It's not a ship. It's a small craft. A boat.

Last wraith ship was a bigger when their sister ship because that ship have ZPM power module from ancient, that Ship have a more powerful then another, and only that reason Daedalus class even together cant defeat that a bigger Hive

The Destiny.

Ok as an avid watcher of stargate I wil not dispute the size of the ship's except one. The Ori mothership is constantly miss sized if you use the 2nd Ori supergates inside diameter of 1600 meters and see in season 9 episode 20 the Ori mothership is slightly narrower than the gates inside diameter. Seeing this the Ori mothership is approximately 1550~ meters in with and 2000~ meters in length and 300~ meters in height.

Ironically, they do call the puddle jumper, a Gate Ship in an alternate time line.

Nice video

Actually Atlantis was the country the capital city was called Poseidon ( after the sea god .)

Atlantis was a bit of an missed opportunity. It is supposed to be a mobile city but it rarely moved and rarely had more then a handful of people onboard. Computer animation can fill the streets in the distance so it wouldn't be that hard to create the illusion of the city being populated.

Cloak it an leave in a park. Hmmmmm I wonder if any would have done that in 1980s San Francisco.

Researching for this video, given you some spoilers since you haven’t watched all of Stargate. Maybe Atlantis isn’t the size of Manhattan, but somewhere they say searching Atlantis is like searching the whole of Manhattan. So the towers are taller and have more area than Manhattan even if it’s length is shorter. That Hive ship that was able to disable the Daedalus, is a super hive. It’s powered by a few ZPM, hyperdrive is extragalactic, weapons a more powerful and the ship is more dense. The Daedalus, powered by a ZPM can hold its own against a normal hive ship.

Hello British Ben

Hi British Ben I'm American Ben 🤣

Just wait til you see the size of the Destiny in Stargate Universe

Travelers!

But what about the ZPM Super Hive?

but atlantis was in Antartica at the beginning of the atlantis series.

Gday british Ben

so wheres part one ? it would have been nice if you put it in your tab

I frequently see that people are mistaking the common Wraith hive ship and SuperHive. Superhive was more than 15 kilomete long, that baby was grown by the help of a Zpm. It's way bigger and more powerful than the most of the Stargate ships. As far as I can guess only an ORI warship or asgard O'Neill class ship can challenge that. It's only weakness is inside.

size effects the music?

I have to defend Rodney here, he is definitely annoying but that's why he's also a great character. His character arc was impressive, and he was hilarious. After all, this is stargate we're talking about here. And, I know, I know it was a joke that led to another joke but, I've heard to many people complain about him!

06:42 look how big those gaps are in those holding cell. Anyone that is not fat can squeeze through it.

There has been several episodes when people go from the tower to the pier and sai it to be "miles", if we take minimum of 2 miles it will be about 3200 meters from center to the edge, meaning minimum of 6400 meters. Please do not quess, use the cannon data.

still those from a minor [Flower].... [Sighed very Groused in these subjects]

I thought Canadians are the ones that say sorry

The wraith hive's you are showing are the one's with stolen ZPM's. Wraith ships size are limited by their power systems most dont have ZPM's which makes them quite a bit smaller.

... look: we Canadian's polite ... don't know who that Meradith guy is ... but he's not one of us !

Man I miss stargate, the ancients ruled.

GF, you can get a more accurate size of Atlantis by taking note that a Daedalus class ship can sit comfortably between the city arms. You'll see this at some point during SGA.
