So many questions on so many stories in Sg-1 that was never told.Like the big one with the furlings.
I forgot that the episode paradise lost was a furlings technology for the teleport.
One thing I wish they would of went more into is the galatic ecomony.
Like with jobs as mechanics, head hunters etc....
Plus the building of mother ships. Just not a whole lot of information in the goa'ulds infrastructure.

The closest I have seen to a motherhip in SG1 being built is Orpheus, when Master Bra'tak and Tea'lks son get stranded on a dig site slaving for Naquada, and in the background is a mothership being built.
One thing that upset me was that Earth didn't steal Goa'uld ships as mush as I would have liked. Come one, some jafa are cruising through down town milky way, when BAM SG1 ring aboard and hold captive the jafa until the next planet arrives. Imagine Anubis when his Jaffa Hattak driver comes to him and tells him he was highjacks :)

Hi Rumo. Please avoid double posting. If you feel you have something new to say simply look at your previous post and you should see in the top right hand corner of the box an icon that looks like a piece of paper with a pen going onto it. Written next to it will be the word 'Modify'.
You can use this to edit older posts avoiding the need to double post.
In response to the actual thread. I was actually REALLY interested in exploring more to do with the Nox and the Furlings. Not too much as some measure of mystery is what keeps them interesting but seeing how the Nox dealt with the Ori or the Kull Warriors for example (although I can guess how they handled it). Things like that. Even maybe a prequel mini-series about the adventures of the four great races.

I agree, I mentioned the Furlings in a previous post and would love to see more on them and I think that a prequel on the four great races is an awesome idea Semper. I also wonder...We see that the Azgaurd use stone tech, the ancients used crystal tech, it is hard however to see what the Nox and the Furings used. I would be curious as to what kind of tech they use(d). The Nox obviously highly developed their minds, but they have a floating city, so they clearly have a strong tech as well and then you have the Furlings teleport door. We see the inside of the workings for a bit, but to me it wasn't real clear what their tech was based on. Would love to know more about that.

Nox use psi-tech (i.e. tech that requires no physical form or medium as such beyond the Nox's minds). That much is clear. (Just look at 'Nox' and other episodes.)
As for the Furlings.. they truly are a mystery. Their alphabet (from 'the Torment of Tantalus', the room containing the Treaty of the 4 Races) is an intriguing example of their rare appearance in SG.

I think it is a pity that the Furlings are never mentioned again and that there are no hints about their appearence, their culture or their technological achievements. I really want to know how their ships looked and what weapons they used. :'-(

I agree that psi-tech is the main thing that the Nox use. However, in the episode "Nox" at the end they show that they have a city floating in the sky. It is a full city with metal buildings and so forth. This eludes to the idea that while psi-tech is most certainly a major factor with the Nox, that there is another technology, a physical tech that they also have. That is what I am curious about. :)

Metal buildings? What you (and SG1) saw was an illusion, to ease the minds of SG1 and to make them leave. The Nox knew the only way SG1 would leave unburdened would be to show them some form of physical might, which does not mean that such a city is anything but a mirage, created by the Nox's mind-altering psi-tech. ;)
The Nox are living so close to a state of natural enlightenment, ascension if you will, that their need for the physical is all but gone, and only to teach the young ones do they need/choose to be physical. :D
Furling weapons, hm? From the Four Races, the Ancients are involved, at times aggressive (i.e. willing to use force and science to accomplish their goals); the Asgard are involved, mostly pacifistic but since the departure of the Ancients more aggressive; the Nox are detached and extremely pacifistic. That would leave the Furlings as a detached, but aggressive race. (Furlings are interesting. They use that things that was alluded to earlier as the world's most powerful graphics chip by that crazy person.)

We have another example of Furling technology in paradise lost episode (I believe it was called that) when Maybourne and Oneil get teleported away using Furling technology. They believed in rewards, had a mastery of teleportation tech (something the ancients did not master to such a level).

They did master it, just not to a great level. In SGA, they have teleporters to teleport over the city :)

Aye they do over the city but their battleships did not have teleportation technology outside of ring platforms opposed to say the Asgard or the Furlings or even the Nox who all had arrays that can teleport at great distances and speeds. The ancients platforms needed a direct line of movement (as demonstrated numerous times in the series) whilst the asgard could do all crazy stuff with theirs (like teleportation removal of a symbiote from Colonel Caldwell) and the furlings managed it with a small device similar in size to a football. The only other race I know of with a similar level to the Ancients are the Ashen but i'd putt he Asgard and the Furlings on the mastery level and the ancients still on the developed.
Teleportation was one of many of the vast range of technologies they played with that the ancients did not master. Ancients were more the jack of all trades than master of all. Their obvious path to mastering so many of these things though was cut short by their war with the wraith and ascension which doesn't really require technology.

I really wanted more stories of the Asgard in the peg galaxay. Their body suits were so nice lol. specially the hand shield they used. I could never figure out how they transfered energy from the drilling platform to the city when they used it to make the city fly in season 3 I think.
