As for the opening at the bottom of the tower, fan-made sources suggest it is a hanger, although you can clearly see 302's launching from the side pods in 'Ethon' and never see them coming from the tower's base in any episode. It is probable that this tower base thing is either purely decorative, or was intended to be the main hanger, or may be a storage hanger. And Jauh0, You think the 303 is ugly? I think the 303 is much, much better looking than the 304, which looks like some oversized hangers shoved onto the 303's nose with an aircraft carrier's deck and tower slapped on top of that.

A hyperdrive allows a vessel to open a [[subspace]] window and move into [[hyperspace]]. In this manner, a ship can cross vast distances without experiencing relativity. Hyperdrives vary in their effectiveness from race to race, with some being much faster than others; most hyperdrives are designed to travel within a single galaxy, while more advanced models can travel between galaxies in the same amount of time.

-	The effectiveness of a hyperdrive depends on two factors: design and power input. Given enough power, a hyperdrive can be made to go far faster than it would normally be capable, such as in the case of the [[Zero Point Module]]-powered ''[[Odyssey]]'', which can reach speeds more than four times faster than its sister ships. The design of a hyperdrive is what allows it to make use of the power it's given effectively. The ''Odyssey'', even with a ZPM, cannot match the speed of a fully powered [[Atlantis]]' [[Stardrive]] (three ZPM:s), which can cross the same distance as ''Odyssey'' in a fraction of the time. A fully powered [[Stardrive]] are very rare. The Ancients have ascended, the Pegasus Replicators are destroyed.	+	The effectiveness of a hyperdrive depends on two factors: design and power input.

	Ok, so we dont see this weapon system again, its unlikely to be an Asgard or Human energy weapon system, it doesnt look very missile like, because theirs no trail or noticeable rocket. Could this be an early form of the Railgun, a test bed, a slow firing version, that packs more of a punch, but the system proved to be far less effective then the missile system they began using, so they modified the Rail guns to be a point defence system, and used Naquadah enhanced nuclear missiles as their main weapon.

		+	It's amazing to me the level of bias the Asgard get on this site over the Ancients.
		+
		+	As for the above comment, it is very odd the Ancients did not rebuild. I mean, here is a species that's been around for 50-100 million years. Atlantis is as big as Manhantan, and I would imagine at least a large enough ground of Ancients came back from Pegasus to be a breeding population to rebuild.
		+
		+	And after the plague nearly wiped them all out, one would think they would deversify themselves and not let another single incident risk pushing them to extinction again. Either send out multiple cityships to other galaxies, or they could have simply left in Atlantis and went to another galaxy before the war with the Wraith turned so bad.
		+
		+	There are a ton of issues with Ancient history. I think they are just plugged in wherever needed, and their story was never really fleshed out in the first place. Why were some ancients able to ascend themselves 50 million years ago, but the Ancients in Pegasus 50 million years later needed a machine to try and ascend?

	The shield requires massive amounts of energy to be activated, which a [[Zero Point Module]] usually provides; however, the energy of several [[lightning]] strikes will provide enough energy to power the shield for some time. When [[Atlantis]] submerges under the ocean, one ZPM can power the shield for at least 3.3 thousand years in holding back the colossal amount of water above it. {{Cite\|SGA\|Rising\|The Storm\|The Eye}}		The shield requires massive amounts of energy to be activated, which a [[Zero Point Module]] usually provides; however, the energy of several [[lightning]] strikes will provide enough energy to power the shield for some time.

-	The shield of Atlantis is unique in that nothing can penetrate the shield as long as there is enough power to sustain it (unlike starships, which deplete under external forces and slowly lose integrity no matter how much power is available). If there is no pressure on the shield, it can remain active indefinitely. However, even mid-level energy weapons (like those on [[Wraith]] ships) will rather quickly deplete the power to the city shield under sustained bombardment, when powered with only one ZPM. It's unknown how the city shield would fare under sustained fire from extremely high-level energy weapons like the [[Asgard plasma beam weapon]]s, the [[Ori energy beam weapon]] or repeated strikes from [[Drone weapon]]s.	+	The shield of Atlantis is unique in that nothing can penetrate the shield as long as there is enough power to sustain it (unlike starships, which deplete under external forces and slowly lose integrity no matter how much power is available).

	Another weakness of the shield is that it does not encompass the whole city immediately when activated, instead rising from the bottom up and from the edges of the city inward, allowing a brief window for attacks to damage the city by passing through the hole in the shield before it completely closes. This weakness was discovered when the [[Asuran Stargate satellite\|satellite]] launched by the [[Asuran]]s managed to damage the city while it was escaping from the planet, causing it to drop out of hyperspace prematurely. It is possible that the shield's slow formation, however, was due to there being only one [[Zero Point Module]]. With the significant power drain coming from the [[Stardrive]], less energy would have been available to the shield. In situations where there has been no other drain on power, such as during the [[Lantean storm]], the shield was able to fully form in around a second. {{Cite\|SGA\|The Eye\|First Strike}}		Another weakness of the shield is that it does not encompass the whole city immediately when activated, instead rising from the bottom up and from the edges of the city inward, allowing a brief window for attacks to damage the city by passing through the hole in the shield before it completely closes.

-	A much less obvious weakness is that, if the city is using its [[Stardrive]], particiularly intense weapons fire will exert enough force to actually alter the city's trajectory to an extent that the [[inertial dampener]]s cannot properly compensate. When this happens damage to systems that are not secured as well as on normal starships is sustained, as the city was not designed for space combat. {{Cite\|SGA\|Enemy at the Gate}}	+	A much less obvious weakness is that, if the city is using its [[Stardrive]], particiularly intense weapons fire will exert enough force to actually alter the city's trajectory to an extent that the [[inertial dampener]]s cannot properly compensate.
