  • I believe the Q were more powerful than the Ancients in Stargate based off of what each has done in their respective cinema throughout their shows history and spinoffs. The ancients, in their energy forms, couldn't go back and forth through time or snap their fingers and move stars around as if they were play things; the Q could do both with a thought. I have only seen the ancient's power used in the destruction to protect planets and go against the Ori (Morgan LeFay)

  • Acient technology in Stargate is ludicrously advanced compared to anything Star Trek. In Star Trek, getting halfway across the Milky Way (such as to launch an attack on Earth) takes the Borg many years. An Ancient warship, on the other hand, can travel between GALAXIES in under a month.

    The only viable way to beat the Ancients is to overwhelm them with sheer numbers.

  • @RedXlV Nopes....once the borg learn where you are, they can open Transwarp nexus gates to get places near instantly. Reference here:

    Memory Alpha search Transwarp Hub

    Even the Federation develops advanced transwarp drives eventually.

    Also there are several species MUCH more advanced then anything that was ever shown in Stargate....The Iconians and the Q continuum to name two.

  • @RPS766

    The Q don't count. They're godlike beings that don't even need technology. Kind of like the ascended Ancients, except with no rules against interfering with lesser beings. And we don't really know anything about how advanced the Iconians were. Their signature tech was their gateways, which seem to be near-identical in capability to the Ancients' Stargates.

  • @RPS766

    And yes, transwarp hub technology lets the Borg quickly go anywhere in the Milky Way that's connected to the hub. But there's no indication it can cover intergalactic distances. A trip from Earth to the Pegasus Galaxy is roughly 30 times further than traveling between the two most distant points in the Milky Way.

  • what happen to the drones...

  • well actuly acording to star trek 'first contact', the borg could not adapt to led becuase its like if you wanted to keep air out of a cloth tent

  • where to get the ancient spaship for BC Kobayashi mod!??. reply please

  • the borg never win, who's suprised.

  • really? fucking cocksucker!

    lead us into a big disappointment!

  • video games are not videos

  • Also note that as soon as they dug out their presumerably far outdated beam weaponry it's stated that those satalites easily held the wraith back for decades. Considering that those satalites didn't have shields or proper armor, it's a safe bet to assume that the beam weapons were far more effective than drones against the wraith.

    Which also explains what an easy time they had in the show with Asgard weaponry.

  • @GortonMichael 1 drone can destroy a wraith cruiser. 2 beamshoots can destroy 1 cruiser

    drones r stronger

  • @TheStargatefan1000 Yes, the ASGARD beams. The Alterran versions were alot more powerful.

    And the drones are not stronger. They just go to areas where they'll make the most effect. They don't have to go through armor or shields because they phase straight through.

    There is also the fact that they had a limited amount of drones, so once they ran out the wraith were essentially free to do what they wanted, as they couldn't counter attack.

    So, Beams>Drones vs wraith

  • Guys, the point of drones as a weapon is that they can phase through shields, hulls, and whatever they need to. They can quite easily hit key point in the ship, like the bridge, the power supply, etc. The reason they were not so effective vs the wraith was because they had a limited supply, and their main advantage (and the reason they were used) was they could go through shields. This meant that the sheer amount of wraith ships was just too many to destroy at the same time, so they won.

  • name of music?

  • @spacexploder It's the soundtrack from Star Trek: Bridge Commander (the game shown here). The music tracks are actually CD audio tracks, so if you can track down the disc (or a rip of it), you can get the songs...

  • That was gay as hell.

  • Borg vs nanomite ancients would be cool :P

  • @blidderbla Nanomite ancients as in Asurans? Really?  Replicator vs Assimilator? Sounds like one of those cheap SyFy shows that cancelled Stargate in the first place.

  • I'd have to give this one to the Borg. A large number of the drones would be knocked out before reaching the cube, only a drone assault akin to the one based from Earth, which could overwhelm the cube, would bring it down. The Borg's regenerative abilities would also make a long fight tilt in their favor.

  • Why does ancient ship use machine guns?

  • @DartLuke The Aurora class ancient ships had drones and several smaller pulse plasma guns. The Tari (human) / Aesgard  ships (ex Daedalus) had Rail guns (magnetic driven) machine guns, Aesgard beam weapons that were like a heavy phazer and of course nukes and some smaller missiles.

  • @DartLuke they're called Ancient Pulse weapons

  • @DartLuke Not machine guns Battlestar Galactica type weapons probably

  • @DartLuke They're called Drones. Intelligent warheads capable of going through any shields, penetrating any armor and dodging any attempt to counter them.

  • @dumus841 I know about drones. But it looks like simple machine guns. And drones would destroy borg cube in one moment.

  • @DartLuke; i think the ship depicted is the one from SGU which predates Drone tech.

  • @DartLuke Its not a machine gun they are pulse fired energy blast, not so different from pulse phasers.

  • what game is this?

  • @DIVOTMOVIES Star Trek Bridge Commander

  • I could be wrong here, but aren't drones pretty much the perfect weapon to fight the Borg with, since they punch through armor like KE penetrators, the equivalent of punching the Borg cube over and over until everything collapses, and the one thing the Borg can't adapt to is KE damage. Granted, cubes have few vital areas (which drones tend to target), but the drones could keep flying through the cube until nothing was left.

  • @CobaltX07 The ancient drones seem to have a kind of thermal force field around them. They can burrow through stone or steel and keep going. From the show the field(s) tend to flame thrower like punch & melt their way through. It's an effective design and having a conscious mind guiding them obviously give them great maneuverability.  I have never seen a drone blow up all the much either in the full city size of the puddle jumper size drones. The drones are flying drills.

  • The music is way too pleasant for an epic space battle 

  • damn bad shots.. was that suppose to be a tractor beam or a phaser ? what the hell was the ancient ship firing rail guns ?? where r the drones ?? the Borg couldn't hit the broad side of a barn

  • what for a game is this?

  • you will be assimilatted beotch

  • Plues all of the tech that they had leard and engraded into the ship systems over the time they wheir in the delta quadrant like batter shields, Outter armored plating, improved brog tech with the help of 7of 9 and a faster but unstable wrapdrive system.

  • Comment removed

  • borg will win in 0.93938105 seconds

  • @Kingrex16

    I distinctly remember that the Atlantis people had to come up with a way to transport their nukes THROUGH the Wraith shields and that one Wraith ("Todd") gave them the codes to do so to advance his personal agenda.

    Kingrex16 said "Wraith ships dont have shields making the UFP weaponry alot more effective"

  • @exgenica the wraith were jamming the asgard transporters, had some sorta ecm going on there, not shielding

  • Borgs: we are the borg.....etc ...futile

    captain: Dit this quote anytime worked?

    Borgs: no:(

    captain: SO why you still repeat that?

    Borgs: Cause its awesome.)

  • Was wondering,would ship packs work for the demo version or does it need the actual game?

  • Hmmm this is an intresting match up. Although I feel the Aruora-class (Ancient Ship) would Win. Why?

    WEve seen in Stargate that the Drone weapons can go throught almost any kind of Shield, one Drone and cuncture a ship multiple times before being used up. if the Aurora fires a massive salvo and destroy the cube bfore they can adapt. Then there good.

  • @Kingrex16

    The Borg can beam drones(Borg drones not Ancient drones) onto the Ancient ship through shields and assimilate everyone onboard. Game over man!

  • @Kingrex16 the big problem is, how many borg were beamed aboard your ship before you destroyed the cube? because if they managed to get aboard you would lose.

  • @TheShooter879 My thing is the Borg have never met the ancients. So in the first encounter id give the edge to the ancients. In sebequent encounters then it will favor the borg. That being said when the borg beam over to the ancient ship they could put up a successful fight against them. IMO.

  • @Kingrex16 The Ancients were arrogant fucks though

  • @hyffuguyftg

    well i can kinda agree with you there. The Wraith only won cause they had strength in numbers though. I dont think they would take the Borg so lightly.

  • @Kingrex16 The Borg might have been able to transport on board but the ancients were pretty smart and would have put a shield around certain area's and vented the atmosphere until the Borg on the ship were dead, sealing the bridge with a jamming code so they couldn't do it again and then firing all the drones at them.

    They'd win that battle and then think the Borg were pushovers tbh...I wanna see a fight between a Wraith armada vs the UFP fleet because I think that the Wraith would win that.

  • @hyffuguyftg Or the smart ancients can use some strong el magnetsr:)))) when you are a guy with half body of electonics parts you rly hate magnets:D

  • @Mishai87 The Borg exo armour is designed to not be magnetic and is also designed to be resistant too EMP pulse's

  • @hyffuguyftg under armor is electronic what is vuleable to EMP....and im sure that ancients ship generator is able to make EMP strong enought to penetrate any protection what can one human size soldier carry:)....

  • @hyffuguyftg Do you rly belive that ancients ship generator is no able make EMP pulse strong enought to penetrate any protection what can single human size soldier carry?:/

  • @Mishai87 Yes I believe that, the Borg assimilate other races and their technology so they'd have all sorts of technology that no one has ever seen before and one of those I guarenty would be a way to resist emp weapons, the Replicators could resist the effects of the ARP's in Stargate Atlantis and that was basically the same thing so whats to stop the Borg from doing the same?

  • @hyffuguyftg cause replicators acompatybile machines and borg soldiers are combination of organism and machine so machine must be simply said...open to the organic part...with the conection...so only "working" EMP protection must be do with some sort of energy shield what will make oposite curve pulse to EMP incoming...but that pulse can be strong only like the generator of soldier can make...and ship generator can make much stronger pulse in that way..organic part is sadly said weaknes of borg

  • @hyffuguyftg It was theorized that the Wraith have a little over 60 hives in the Pegasus Galaxy. Lets look at a wraith hive. They are massive ships with numerous weapons placed around the hull. There hull armour is organic so damaged sections can be regrown if damaged. Wraith ships also didnt have shields making energy weapons extremely effwctive against them.

  • @hyffuguyftg ok now lets look at the UFP. Their ships were highly manuverable, and armaments include Phasers and photon torpedoes (some ships were equiped with quantum) During Operation Return (DS9) the UFP commited over 600 ships to that one battle.

    Now looking at the capabilities of wraith ships compared to Federation ships id say in a fleet on fleet battle The UFP would win. Why? Wraith ships dont have shields making the UFP weaponry alot more effective.

  • @Kingrex16 Okay, but this is a video about the ancients vs the Borg...I don't really see what you're getting at here can you please point it out???

  • Well, as long as Borg as stupid were stupid enough to try to bring a captured ship onboard their own vessel,  the easiest way to destroy them would be early on evacuate into escape pods and shuttles and set the autodestruct to immediately cause a core breech in the matter-antimatter reactor and warp core. Nothing could survive that. It would be a heluva blast!

  • isnt the borg the same as sg wraith? with slight differences

  • @longshot360 the wraith eat people like vampires. borg assimilate peeps and add them to their war machine.

  • That game is badass.

  • Further addition to my other post. I think it is funny somehow attaching levels to a Universe or the races in such universes. So what is the Q power level then? I would assume there would not be one right since they are by definition omnipotent? Though I am sure like most of these arguments the Q will have to be left out. Overall the power of most ST races at their height of power exceed that of nearly every one of these universes. The time lords? LOL come on. ST universe time travels as easy.

  • I am a fan of all these different universes. However it is quite annoying how weak individuals seem to think all ships from the ST universe are. Most the fights usually end up taking away a ST ability as with the borg the ability to adapt. Further the borg vs the Alterans (ancients) as a war would be a joke. The numbers alone would be auto-win for the borg, which then would mean the borg will possess all the ancients pre-ascended at least. The bias is just rather funny.

  • Borg would rip the ancients a new asshole if somehow they both were real and were to fight. Hell a single Aurora class ship vs the borg is a joke, SG fans who can not see past anything SG areof the same joke. The borg cub would just keep flying right into the Aurora class ship and just keep going. Usually with these types of arguments I ask what universes rules. But really when you use the borg as the ST team and one Aurora for SG it does not matter the cube every time over the Aurora class.

  • @CES2M3 you my dear friend don't seem to understand that both universes have their weaknesses and strenghts. To be honest if both would goto war I wouldn't want to be in between because even though the borg can make more of them selves the asurans would win because they are nanite's and only some are really human. The ones you were referring to were the Lanteans who created the asurans and if the lanteans were still alive after the wraith-lantean war they would be...........Unstoppable.

  • @LightGuardian23 No I am referring to the lanteans, and they would not be unstoppable. Yes The borg are going to be afraid of nanites, yea they clearly know nothing about that. IF it was actual borg vs the Lanteans, the Borg would simply outnumber them. But hey there are always those super fanboys of other sci-fi shit, who have some sort of thing against trek. I do not give a damn about trek SG-1 or any other sci-fi genre. However one must realize the borg and their relentlessness.

  • the voice in the beggining reminds me of mass effect 1&2

  • Tha Ancients would probably win.  They would just have to fire up some drones and wipe the Borg out.

  • sajuuk vs borg cube witch wins

  • first i though it was the transformers cube :)

  • what is iwth the sound, when nothing is happening it sounds like its firing 10000 torpedos at once, and when you see it fire a torpedo nothing?

  • hmmm the drones would fuck up that cube sooo much more then what the borg could do... :S

  • what about the ancient ship's return fire?

  • A borg cube wouldn't last 10 seconds against drones!

  • @hyffuguyftg i'd argue that phasers beat drones, not to mention that borg cubes have about as much shield as atlantis does (albeit zpm give more power that mater antimatter colision does)

  • @hyffuguyftg

    In ship per ship...true, but may I remind that Ancients ultimately failed against less sophisticated, but similar in some principles, Wraith...

  • @AnteyPL Because there were shit tons of the Wraith, they overwelmed them with sheer numbers, the Borg are powerful Ill give them that but they're weak as shit compared to Drones, the difference in the Wraith and the Ancients is that the Wraith use energy weapons (More or less infinate ammo) The Ancients had to build Drones and the Wraith cloning plants made it impossible for them to make enough for the amount of Wraith that were.

  • @hyffuguyftg

    Wraith didn't have nanoprobes and there were at least as much shitload of Borg, as Wraith. They just (usually) adapted quicker and are more survivable. Actually, Borg, Voth, 8472 and Q are only races from Star Trek which approach (or surpass) capabilities of Replicators, Asgard, Wraith and Ancients respectively. Others, including humans were lagging behind (eg. Federation was far, far behind Tollans).

  • @AnteyPL come on...they failed cause it was in THE SCRIPT...damn...I thought Trekkies were bad...wow...

  • @hyffuguyftg No. But the next one would have adapted, and would be totally immune.

  • @GreyTH

    The borg can only adapt to energy weapon wavelengths more physical weapons will still harm them

  • @Dwavenhobble They're The Borg, so they've got thousands of civilizations research on weapons technology. I doubt it would take them long to determine how to use their own energy weapons as a point defense mechanism and destroy the Ancient drones mid-flight. At the very least, it would lead them to a stalemate until they learned enough to defeat the ship, and subsequently the rest of the Anicents. (The Borg are just one big trial and error computer after all.)

  • @GreyTH Thousands of civilizations vs 1 million years of tech. I'm sure the drones themselves have been developed to be point defense proof. In fact that might be why in a usual salvo there are thousands of them.

  • at 3:06 I wanted the last 3:06 minutes of my life back

  • can the borg cube adapt to phasers too?

  • @ninjacon64 yes

  • @heathfiedler ooooooohhhhhhh

  • @ninjacon64 thats why star fleet always had to rotate their phaser settings so the borg wouldn't adapt right away.

  • @heathfiedler thanks

  • @ninjacon64 yes, duh...

  • @darkfenix898 my apologies I don't watch star trek 24/7

  • or Borg v. Daleks!

  • you should do Borg v. Replicators from SG-1

  • well if the ancient ship is equipped with a chair / zpm / drone platform the borg torpedoes would never hit and i'm fairly sure ancient shields are capable of absorbing the phaser intensity of a borg ship for several days with a full power zpm

    so it would be a slaughter!

  • where do you get these stargat spce ship game they look cool

  • Is this an online game or a console game? It doesn't really matter which, because I want to get it either way.

  • @JediMasterJD996 Star Trek Bridge Commander - PC

  • Ehm according to the stargate wiki an ancient warship was between 3000 and 3500 meters long. A Borg bue is around 2000 meter each side so the ancient warship would be bigger.

    The question who would win - i think the Borg the ancients were the greatest pussies in all of sci fi history.

    First: Kicked out of their galaxy by the Ori

    Second: Killed by a plage send to them by the Ori in our Galaxy.

    Third: Wiped out by the wraith in the Pegasus galaxy.

    3 Galaxies lost thats a new record!

  • @Denorius01 well I'm sorry if I sound rude just kinda a fan of SG its just, 1. the ancients were kicked out by the wraith because they were less of a army they only were basicly peaceful and didn't want to fight at all so they were little in numbers (don't believe me then watch SGA episode 20 of season 1 (I think it was the one). 2. Yes the Ori sent a plage to them put imagine our worlds plage, which wiped out a lot of people before the cure was found, and last I don't recall that happening

  • Now this makes sense. Would probably be easier than that, but the outcome was never really in doubt(TF2 Spy quote). A hatak lasts 10 hours in the sun.

  • use the Yamato next time, the wave motion gun will destroy the Borg.

  • If only the modded SG ships in STBC had the actual fire patterns of the SG ships. Giant swarms of drones would be so much more awesome...

  • please

  • what ship was that ? not a star trek ship obviously

  • @Paulus2084 SG i think :)

  • a zpm powered shield can withstand DAYS of sustained fire even covering an area the size of Atlantis according to the SG mythos, so frankly it wouldn't be a battle at all.

    even if it didn't have one, the Borg cubes have no defence against the drone swarm weapons, they even often miss relatively large manned craft, it would just be a massacre!

    and Borg request you stand down, because it is more efficient than wasting energy or destroying technology

  • can u imagine if the aurara class hade a ZPM

  • An Ancient Warship would easily destroy a Borg Cube, Drone weapons would slice it up like nothing

  • my strategy is going at full speed and crush the warship against the cube

    that would destroy the ship but what do i care

  • Was the Star Trek Bridge commander?

  • we are the borg resistance is futile

  • I don't care how much the borg regenerate. Shoot 100+ drones at anything and it goes KABOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!

  • Why do the borg explain what they're doing? It shouldn't matter other than for the audience.

  • idiot needs better aim

  • Eat blaster trekkies!

  • Why are all startrek games so ugly?

  • @ceridan01 this one's excuse is that it was made in 2000. we modders are still working on this one.

  • dont do the fly by view or anything like that , it kinda sucks and do i want to see the hull drop lol.

  • if this wasn`t a game that ancient war ship would be borg in a matter of seconds but its good

  • Star Trek will always have the most powerful race. Q.

  • @Spotcats

    the ascended race in stargate is prity much the same thing as Q isn star trek

  • exseped for that non interferince rule

  • @Spotcats what about the asendent of stargate

  • dam the borg ship lasted that long remind me tonever fight it with any thing eals but SG ships i just wish you had up the damage hud and stuff it makes it easer to make tatecks lol

  • @thomasmiller1 Actually didn't really need the damage HUD. The torpedoes don't really harm the shield at all...

  • @thomasmiller1 tactics just to let you know

  • dam the borg ship lasted that long remind me tonever fight it with any thing eals but SG ships

  • the ancients would win vs anyhting in any other series, they are energy beings and can exist anywhere in time and space, if they where to be put into a class, a new class would have to be added above that of class 4, there is nothing an ancient cannot do with their powers, afterall they are the closest thing to true gods in and of the sci-fi series, its just they refuse to interfear with the lower planes of existance. Oh and their power grows when they gain followers from lower planes, scary.

  • @sfliddie

    you know they can still be killed

  • why aren't you firing back?

  • No games seem to get Borg cubes right, because none of them include the Borg's adaptive capability. Even drones would soon be unable to penetrate a Borg cube's shields; the Borg would analyze the drones as they were attacked by them, and using the biggest supercomputer in the universe - the collective - would develop a means of stopping them. The Federation is mostly lucky, not good at defeating the Borg.

  • @Paragon19 Maybe the gamedevelopers are scarred they would accidently develop an adaptive defense-system for PC-videogames that can later be used for special forms of viruses.^^

  • because that cube didn't literally appear out of nowhere and i agree with everyone had it been a real alteran aurora class war ship...the cube would get raped

  • Comment removed

  • Cool die hatten keine changs gegen die Auroraklasse!!

  • The Borg cube looks like the Ka'aba that Muslims are forced to prostrate toward five times a day, every day, to keep from paying the jizyah tax, or else.

  • I wander what wold happen if you sent an Ori ship against the Borg?

  • @fastzombie1 probably the same outcome as Species 8472 without the weakness

  • 2 ancient ships would win if they fired all the drones like the episode when Anubis's ship get destroyed

  • I want my three minutes back, please....

  • im not realy a star trek fan so dont know anything about those ships and when i saw that huge cube against that small ship the player controlled i was: "ohhh pour guy, hope he made a save..." but than again he stoud out preaty good...

    was it a cheat or that litle ship is that strong ?

  • just enjoy them for what they are.. and yes it is kool to see the enterprise go up against a star destroyer, or the centauri go up against the galatica, its all cool, and wonder what would happen but stop getting into pissing contest over which is better they all got there advantages and disadvantages

  • why is every one making a stink about which is better who whom can beet whom star wars or star trek , or stargate, or by or battle star glalatica, like honestly why are you all putting so much energy into saying which is better.. i got the sad truth they are all great shows, series, w/e.. it does not matter what can beat what.

  • I's pretty ovbious that a Borg cube would win. Borg cubes are over 3km in length. Borg cube don't rely on shields either, Borg cubes have no bridges or engineering bays, no key systems to exploit. Borg cubs are like honeycombs and have multi layerd hulls made from Ablative and Regenerative hull materials. It would take thousands of Photons to destroy a Borg Cube. Borg Cubes can remain fuctional when 80% of it has been destroyed.

  • I'm mildly amused that someone knows so much about the theoretical statistical survivability of a Borg cube.

  • @MrRuinaga thats pretty much what the ancient drones are, each machine gun like shot was roughly the strength [at least 1/2 the power] of a photon torpedo

  • @MrRuinaga y disable when they can destroy?

    and just because its 3km doesnt mean that it would have a hard time to get destroyed. a hive ship is 3600 meters long. a barrage of drones easily distroyed it.

  • i very much doubt that an ancient ship is 3 km long

  • @zzxcvb98 ? a wraith hive ship is 3600 meters long. in be all my sins rememberd you can compare the sizes of the ships.

  • BAMSR contradicts most other episodes in regards to ship scaling, which is far from consistent in stargate anyway.

  • @zzxcvb98 the 3 km length is from sga: the dvd collections and bamsr seems to back it up.

  • the dvd collections are atrocious and not to be trusted. the majority of episodes depict the hives as being significantly larger than the daedalus and ancient ships.

  • @zzxcvb98 whatever. the dvd collections are only things that actually tell you the size of those ships. unless you rely on visual calculations. and yes the hives are bigger than the daedalus.

  • yes, but if you use common sense, the dvd collections' measurements are completely absurd, for example they say a wraith cruiser is 2.5 km long, carries 20 hive ships, and weighs 6 tonnes. also, the 3km length for the ancient warship makes no sense, especially exemplified in the episode travelers.

  • @zzxcvb98 adding the 2 long thingys at the end however it doesnt carry 20 hive ships(how the hell do you do that?)

  • @zzxcvb98 my mistake a hive ship is 2950 meters long. not relying on the dvds means that the ship is at least 2600 meters long.

  • @ Thrytlind you said ancient technology level is above the asgard tech there is at least one evidence which proofs you claim wrong remember in the last ep of SG1 the with asgard tech refitet deadalus could fight ori battlecruises the asgard shields could withstand multiple hits of ori weapons fire but the blue energy beam could easily pierce the shields and armor of the ori battlecruisers and considereing there technology is comparable with the one of the ancients

  • @corausr they was only able two take multiple hit from ori weapons and pierce there shields and armor because they had a ZPM powering the ships shields and wepons and even than they was goin two lose they only live because they use a time dilation feild two slow time down and than fined a way out of being distoryed

  • @donnydeankelly so that means each ship whats powered by zpm is superior to those of ori origin? arent they supposed to be equal in everything including tech but you maybe right the zpm powered hive ship could easily wihtstand the blue asgard beam and drone fire but i really dont care its just a game each universe has its own rules and tech imo impossible to compare. Therefor i could say i would destroy an entire fleet consisting of ori, ancient and borg ships with one shimada bomb but i wont

  • @corausr what kind of thinking is that

  • oh btw the big zpm powered hive ship had the same qualty like an borg cube it could adapt really fast to weapons
