We are going to zat or kill the crews. Sure some might kamikaze, though it does seem at odds with Halions preservation of the fleet idea...

It would be better for Halion were those ships to explode and severely damage the Langford than for all his ships and the Langford to start firing on the surface of Tolia.

The Langford shields have no trouble at all standing up against even direct impact from an Al'kesh. Besides, don't forget that space is vast. Two objects striking each other is pretty hard. Especially if one is actively avoiding the other.

Severely damage the langford? I thought Halion was aware jsut how hopeless ramming is against the asgard shields?

I didn't mean a literal kamikaze, I meant get as close as possible and arm the self destruct. Blow yourself up right next to the Langford's shields, that much naquadah exploding in such a close proximity has got to do something.
Anyways guys as far as your back up plan goes I don't think you are able to ring aboard the ships while the shields are up. There aren't many occurrences of using the rings to get aboard an enemy vessel during a fight but in Season 5 Revelations the shields output on Osiris' ship had to be altered manually to allow Anubis entry. SG-1 used this to get aboard themselves at the same time as Anubis. The Ori ship that Daniel ringed aboard was under heavy fire from the Korolev which would have altered the properties of the shield enough to allow rings through, this couldn't be repeated on a Goa'uld ship as the force the Korolev was required to exert on there shields would destroy an ordinary Goa'uld craft. The ship that Vala ringed to in order to stop the create of the Supergate didn't have shields.
Think about it, if Goa'uld were able to simple ring to enemy ships then why was it not common practice.

Cause it wasn't worth the resources in terms of the use of Jaffa. It wasn't easy to take a ship that possessed a full complement of Jaffa as they were in a defensible position. Al'kesh it wasn't worth the time. However your Ha'tak doesn't have a full team of defenders.
Anyway due to complaints from other players (Who shall remain nameless), Halion has been killed off and this Episode has been taken over by myself and Echo. You seem to counter everything immediately Prince and it has annoyed the other players. Areyn can remain as is and still play his part in the plot. The only difference is I will be running the show as Tonak instead of Halion.

Well the alternative is that we just blast every one of your ships into so much space dust. Would you prefer that?
Besides, GM ruling is now up.

That would be exactly the problem. It's is hard to play a bad guy who has no resources, no leverage and for all intensive purposes no plan. In Stargate any enemy had something that would give the Tau'ri pause. Usually it was the inability to destroy them or fear of the repercussions that would follow if they did. Halion didn't have any options as you put it the Tau'ri could very easily destroy everyone of his ships without so much as a microt of damage to there own. It usually the home team who is at an unfair advantage. So I argued for any sort of advantage I could give him but you guys didn't even want the Halion to be able to tell if the ship had guns on it. Can anyone honestly tell me that they enjoy playing a game where they can't lose.
Now that the Lucien Alliance has stepped in things should pick up, thanks god the burden of command is not on my shoulders anymore.
Thought I still do want an answer to the rings question, I wasn't just being augmentative, I looked through records and as far as I can see shields do block rings. I was looking for a ruling.

They do however most Ha'tak have the same frequency, it is pretty hard to use the same tech to change frequencies. It wasn't practical as I said to storm a Ha'tak at full strength by Force (Of course with the Kull Warriors it was a lot easier) and Anubis had a lot of power behind him even before he made the Kull Warriors.
It was usually a case of trying to batter it down to the point where its life support was ruined and it couldn't fight back to where it was possible to take the ship by force.
Of course, if that isn't possible just blow it up.

Ori shields do block it, but I recall at least one instance of shielded ships recieving rings, for example Apophis' two motherships that first attacked earth.
Also, creating the ilusion of difficulty is not about providing a direct counter to everything a player does. Ultimately, players are going to triumph, it is the nature of RPs for the players to win, excepting when that player actually prefers to lose. Far more enjoyment is gained by creating a plan to counter a situation and then watching it unfold. Difficluty is added when, in the process of carrying out the plan, stuff goes wrong. Sometimes this must be added by the GM, but more often than not players actually create difficulty for themselves.

As a GM, expect the players to shit on your plans. Royally. I have not led one roleplay where I had a route set out and the players went "Lets go this way instead!" It is why I like to stand back Icly from command roles.
No-one holds it against you, we hold it against Halion.

That I know but the triumph doesn't mean much unless it is won through hardship. The situation presented currently as it was didn't have any room for difficulty to arise. If negotiations went badly then the team would be beamed back to the ship and a full force attack would be instigated. The absolute worst case scenario of that set up was Earth not getting these ships and having to blows them up before taking everything they wanted by force. There was no room for a player to create difficulty because there was very little that could go wrong.
But I digress, this is no longer my issue and no longer my responsibility so I'm going to leave it alone. Just promise me we'll face some challenges later on.

There were going to be challenges but do it the SG way. We go in, everything seems to be just peachy and then BAM shit hits the fan. We try not to jump straight into it.
Anyway, gotta work on some stuff first.

As they were allied ships the shield frequencies between them were most likely altered to allow the specific rings of the two ships to pass between each other for transport of troops and weaponry.

This is only the first instance that came to mind. If I must find more I will, suffice to say you can ring onto a Goa'uld ship pretty easily.
The reason its not used regularly is because of boarding action 101. If you aren't going in with a far superior force, you're wasteing forces.
And this is one of the worst mistakes a GM can make. Never assume you've thought of everything, because you haven't. I have stopped counting the number of times my players have surprised me totally when I thought I'd accounted for everything. Believe me, there are most definitely ways to make things go wrong that you have not thought of.
I also have not thought of all of them, but as an example I will give some things that could go wrong on Ariadne's theoretical assault on the Ha'tak.
Debris strikes the 302, crippling it and ensuring they cannot escape with it or forcing them to land in a bay cut off from their destination on the Ha'tak.
She arrives in the engine room, only to find that there are no spare crystals and her ability is limited to yanking the crystals already there.
Alternatively, perhaps she arrives and in the firefight a staff blast hits some important crystals, maybe even damaging the crystal receptacle, at which point she has to work to bypass it, if it can be salvaged at all.
I just came up with those things in the past few minutes, and all are things I would willingly write in as happening to my own char, GM or no. Never underestimate players.

May 05 14:59:32 <Sep> Left Biohazard and right EM shielded.
May 05 14:59:47 <Sep> and for the record cause I'm fed up of this discussion.
May 05 14:59:57 <Sep> There was no question.
May 05 15:00:13 <Ellri> that sounds perfect, Sep
May 05 15:00:25 <Forsythe> but what about...? J/k
May 05 15:00:39 * Ellri has kicked Forsythe from #Aftermath (Ellri)
May 05 15:00:45 <Ellri> there. Joke answered.
May 05 15:01:10 <Echo> that was a little extreme

May 05 15:01:23 <Forsythe> rofling here xD
May 05 15:01:40 <Ellri> that was the goal, Forsythe
May 05 15:02:03 <Sep> I call dibs on physics being in the middle
May 05 15:02:06 <Sep> as in top middle.
May 05 15:02:19 <Ellri> all those teal rooms can be quarters, storage, whatevr
May 05 15:02:41 <Sep> I like the location, I get a good feeling about it.
May 05 15:02:47 <Sep> Its the aura.

May 05 15:03:17 <Ellri> 2.2m tall

May 05 15:03:40 <Ellri> we'come back

May 05 15:04:00 <Sep> and arrived at the conclusion.
May 05 15:04:14 <Ellri> a nice and nasty argument (yes, that is a contradiction)
May 05 15:04:25 <Echo> i'm not going to say anything
May 05 15:04:29 <Sep> Also Ellri, no more rooms need mapped out to prevent... any discussions like this happening again.
May 05 15:04:38 <Ellri> not planning on any
May 05 15:04:41 <Sep> Our imaginations should suffice from now on.

May 05 15:05:00 <Sep> Forsythe can plan the bridge if he wants but that is cause it is his party place :P
May 05 15:05:10 <Ellri> and we hate the idea of building an entire ship interior

May 05 15:06:54 <Sep> Gotta stop calling it a bridge
May 05 15:06:56 <Sep> if it is a CIC
May 05 15:07:00 <Ellri> especially on the command area
May 05 15:07:10 <Forsythe> i suppose if you want to play with words Sep. There si the holo for the external cameras that substitutes
May 05 15:07:10 <Ellri> but then, that flaw is present in nearly every SG ship
May 05 15:07:29 <Sep> Hush Ellri, don't get me started on the bridges of star wars ships
May 05 15:07:39 <Sep> at least in EU they have a command salon for the ships commander
May 05 15:07:41 <Ellri> only one we've seen in stargate without some window, is the replicator block ships

May 05 15:07:53 <Sep> as do the Ori
May 05 15:08:02 <Sep> Goa'uld want to see what the fuck they're doing so they can gloat
May 05 15:08:05 <Ellri> in SW, it makes zero sense
May 05 15:08:12 <Sep> Priors control the ship by thought so it helps to see where they are going.

May 05 15:08:31 <Sep> Nope
May 05 15:08:33 <Sep> not that I recall
May 05 15:08:39 <Ellri> just realized the same
May 05 15:08:41 <Echo> yes
May 05 15:08:44 <Echo> they do
May 05 15:08:51 <Sep> Tiny little ones on airlocks and stuff

May 05 15:09:04 <Echo> no htey had quite a few windows
May 05 15:09:12 <Ellri> the ancients had to feed their egos, so they had windows too
May 05 15:09:14 <Echo> but their bridge is not on the edge of the hull
May 05 15:09:24 <Echo> wraith even have windows
May 05 15:09:37 <Sep> Forsythe, you will want to clear up pretty early on that you have a CIC
May 05 15:09:38 <Sep> not a bridge
May 05 15:09:41 <Sep> so people don't get confused.
May 05 15:09:50 <Sep> In fact.
May 05 15:09:52 <Sep> Waiiiittttt
May 05 15:10:01 <Sep> you will need to find a way to describe why the langford HAS such a design
May 05 15:10:21 <Sep> Why not have the bridge but have amazing blast shutters that close in battle
May 05 15:10:28 <Forsythe> Design evolution, elimination of weakspots
May 05 15:10:28 <Sep> similar to how destiny's bridge drops
May 05 15:10:36 <Ellri> at least in SG the "bridges" are heavily shielded
May 05 15:10:47 <Sep> Or have a bridge completely like destiny's
May 05 15:10:50 <Ellri> that design is a nifty one, Sep
May 05 15:10:51 <Sep> I love how destiny's does that.
May 05 15:10:52 <Forsythe> so instead of making it simple and shoving the most important room in the ship safely inside i should put overcomplicated shutters ona weakspot?
May 05 15:11:10 <Ellri> isn't that logical, Forsythe?
May 05 15:11:14 * Ellri grin
May 05 15:11:16 <Forsythe> that sounds like something Dr. Lee would do
May 05 15:11:22 <Sep> You're flying a spaceship with beaming weapons, teleportation, wormhole generators, shields and a hyperdrive
May 05 15:11:29 <Sep> and you think shutters are complicated?
May 05 15:11:39 <Sep> xD
May 05 15:11:43 <Forsythe> they are by comparasm to having a CIC. Endo fo story
May 05 15:11:58 <Forsythe> it is like so, dal with it :P
May 05 15:11:59 <Sep> The Tauri like windows. It has to be said though.
May 05 15:12:18 <Sep> Shutters or destiny style.
May 05 15:12:20 <Sep> Dose your options :P
May 05 15:12:33 <Sep> I'd say the more likely is destiny style
May 05 15:12:58 <Sep> I mean who here says Destiny's bridge isn't awesome.
May 05 15:13:25 <Forsythe> IDC abotu oprions it's been roleplayed as CIC since day one. You're jsut being difficult for the sake of being difficult
May 05 15:13:37 <Papi|Away> Aside from the fact that moving parts are inherently less durable than fixed parts.....
May 05 15:13:48 <Forsythe> ^ there you go, thank you
May 05 15:13:49 <Sep> I have seen you mention the holotable thingy
May 05 15:13:57 <Sep> but I don't recall you actually mentioning no windows.
May 05 15:14:12 <Sep> I just don't see why they would move the bridge on this particular ship
May 05 15:14:13 <Forsythe> i mentioned that on IRC several time
May 05 15:14:25 <Echo> we decided way at the start it was in the ships neck
May 05 15:14:26 <Forsythe> first when you asked me WHERE I WANTED THE EFFIN THING
May 05 15:14:35 <Echo> when sep asked
May 05 15:14:40 <Echo> wher eit was gonna be
May 05 15:14:44 <Sep> Wait you meant IN the neck?
May 05 15:14:52 <Sep> I meant overlooking the neck.
May 05 15:14:56 <Echo> so everyone stop, take off your design hats
May 05 15:15:04 <Forsythe> jsut stick with it. If you want to break windows somewhere, go for the aft tower and observatin deck. You know, where YOUR character lives, if you are keen on the windows so much
May 05 15:15:04 <Echo> and leave the ship alone
May 05 15:15:12 <Echo> while we're all still friends
May 05 15:15:44 <Sep> I can see now that I communicated improperly what I meant a while ago, but as it was my error it appears that the technicians put it there. Oh well
May 05 15:15:47 <Sep> nothing we can do there.
May 05 15:15:56 <Sep> I don't want to rebuild the ship.
May 05 15:16:01 <Forsythe> xD

May 05 15:16:26 <Ellri> but but... WE WANTS A WINDOW ON THE BRIDGE! WAAAHH!
May 05 15:16:36 <Ellri> nah, just joking, Forsythe
May 05 15:16:41 <Papi|Away> Can't you just have a viewscreen?
May 05 15:16:45 <Sep> Just go to the observation deck.
May 05 15:16:52 <Sep> Well they will have a viewscreen :P
May 05 15:16:55 <Forsythe> if you stuck with Astridh you might have had a say in what goes on the bridge, now forever remain silent ellri :P
May 05 15:17:13 <Sep> Basically what happened was at the start as there have been three placements of the 304 bridge in the past
May 05 15:17:22 <Sep> nose, tower at the back and overlooking the neck
May 05 15:17:29 <Sep> I didn't say "overlooking" the neck
May 05 15:17:30 <Sep> Forsythe said neck
May 05 15:17:34 <Sep> It got put inside neck.
May 05 15:17:36 <Sep> Job done.
May 05 15:17:37 <Ellri> from a tactical perspective, having the bridge protected by thick hull plating
May 05 15:17:48 <Ellri> makes perfect sense
May 05 15:17:56 <Sep> I suppose the bridge keeps moving on 304s so we can just use the logic that they have been trying to find somewhere safe to put it with a window
May 05 15:18:04 <Sep> then the techies watched battlestar galactica and went
May 05 15:18:08 <Sep> "Oh, that looks like a good idea."
May 05 15:18:12 <Sep> and it was so
May 05 15:18:15 <Forsythe> ¨lol
May 05 15:18:33 <Sep> Could have been worse
May 05 15:18:39 <Sep> they could have watched star wars and built a big ass tower.
May 05 15:18:46 <Forsythe> bridge in the landing gear
May 05 15:18:53 <Sep> lolwhut
May 05 15:18:57 <Ellri> that's next, Forsythe

May 05 15:22:44 <Papi|Away> Yeah good idea
May 05 15:23:07 <Sep> Reminds me of Runescape ROleplay where you actually had to do that.
May 05 15:23:15 <Sep> I made this RP guide on Runescape forums
May 05 15:23:21 <Sep> Someone copied it all, the bastard.
May 05 15:23:28 * Ellri replace Forsythe's place for union jack with a place for Jolly Roger
May 05 15:23:31 <Sep> doesn't matter for two reasons now
May 05 15:23:39 <Sep> can't remember my username and password
May 05 15:23:41 <Sep> runescape sucks now

May 05 15:24:32 <Papi|Away> I was looking over the characters in the RP
May 05 15:24:34 <Sep> and then it sucked.
May 05 15:24:45 <Ellri> yes?
May 05 15:24:54 <Sep> Yeah Rea'c and Lawson or.... Williams one of the two had sheets
May 05 15:25:00 <Sep> but they are lost in the thread somewhere.
May 05 15:25:12 <Ellri> probably one of the hidden posts, Sep
May 05 15:25:17 <Papi|Away> I noticed you don't have a nerd...
May 05 15:25:21 <Sep> How did it become hidden.
May 05 15:25:31 <Sep> Well the closest to Daniel we have is Milton

May 05 15:27:49 <Papi|Away> computer guy/girl haven't decided yet
May 05 15:28:01 <Sep> When I say Guy I just mean person
May 05 15:28:02 <Sep> I don't mean gender.

This is the rough layout of the Langford labs.
Top three (gray) are Biology, Physics & Chemistry
The purple ones are (respectively) Bio-hazard & Shielded labs
All the funny teal rooms are storage, quarters, whatever.
Red are doors of some sort.
Pale green = airlock/decontamination/etc
Dark blue is the central room of the labs.
Grass green is the corridor.
Any questions?
