I appologize if this has been posted previously, but I'm just wondering... with all the jumpers lost, destroyed, or stolen - how many could possibly be left? Does Atlantis just keep putting new ones back where the old ones go when they get destroyed? I mean seriously... if we counted up how many have been destroyed so far, I think it would be a higher number than how many we had originally when Atlantis first aired. Whats the deal with the jumpers?

Sorry Ori, I was born okay the first time. -
From what I could guess, at Rising we had thirty jumpers. Now, I'd say between 15-20.Rush rocks. -
Where did you get the number thirty?
I only saw five...We are the ori. You will be assymilated. Resistance is futile.Comment

i'd say we had about 8 to begin with. but anyway, we have (X-2) jumpers where X is the number of jumpers we had to begin with.

You're talking about a city the size of Manhattan. I look at puddle jumpers as subway cars. NY has a lot of subway cars even though you only see a few at a time.Before this day is done, I will feed on your buttery defianceComment

exactly my thoughts. They should have plenty but it would be nice to see them not blown up and shot down all the time. I personally don't understand why they don't fly around cloaked all the time.Originally posted by ColdZeroComment

I haven't actually seen the ep yet, but from what I've read in the summaries I've found, it sounds like there's no reason that they can't go back and salvage that jumper after the wraith are....finishedOriginally posted by illuminaroksigpic

Because A:That would drain power alot faster than flying without the cloak on and B:They're idiots when it comes to the puddle jumpers.Originally posted by slammed
An on A, we're assuming that the jumper has quite a limited supply of energy.Comment

A) I've counted as many as seven jumpers in one shot of the jumper bay in season one. They jumpers are arrayed in two tiers, apparantly in a circle. Two ships face each other head on, with two between them around the curve of the bay. Asuming that it is a full circle, that puts six positions, times two levels, for twelve jumpers. There could also be more places around the city that houses more, it is a big place.
B) There are as many jumpers as the writers are going to call for over the course of the show. If they want to blow up forty more in the season finale, there will still be plenty left over.

I am waiting for the episode where they show you doing more city exploring and find a hanger with 100's of puddle jumpers and 100's of ZPM's.

This is in relation to the 100s of ZPMs comment. Why in 'While we sleep' would Janus put Weir in stasis to rotate the ZPMs to extend the power if they had a storage room full of 'em. Just a thought. Make that episode and Wier's sacrifice mean nothing.Comment

Maybe he thought it would be funny! After all some people would say the ancients are evil and arrogant based on their ascended actions!Originally posted by LateFan
But anyway as for 100's of PJ's, I dunno whether there will be. The ancients don't strike me as big ship people. After all they must have built the stargates for a reason!Comment

I asked the question once, and some very helpful people pointed me to the "ask Mr.Producer guys thread" where they said Atlantis had about 12-15 jumpers, but that they might find more later.
So far Atlantis has lost:Spoiler:
