and why if we have all this asgard tech can’t we produce stronger ships or a fleet of stronger ships. i mean cummon we have earth based energy weapons that do pretty well in one on one scenarios vs wraith, asgard weapons that quite frankly whoop the ass of every adversary earth vessels have met, goa’uld weapons we should have figured out by now wouldn’t be bad either, and both wraith and ori ships have been snuck abord and have had info stolen why not some of them energy weapons, and of course with access to atlantis’s computers you would think we could construct our own drones now. if you through all those weapons onto your ship you would be freakin invincible

all i’m saying is we have access to all this info and all we’ve managed to reproduce so far is asgard beams and some wussy turrets that shoot blue crap, there is just no reason for the writers not to make earth incredibly strong without watering down the series and still have interesting stories

They were the replicators.
