If the ship stayed...

[Aerilon]

Out of curiosity, if the alternate Daedalus (after McKay having fiddled around with it) ran out of energy when it re-emerged in 'our' universe, and it didn't have the hull breach, what do you believe would have happened to it?

I think they'd have taken that 'drive' out for starters. McKay and probably a few others would have fought to 'correct' it, whereas others would have no doubt said they'd somehow destroy it.

Drive aside though, what would happen to the ship? Decommission her and use her for spare parts, or recommission her under a new name? Would have been quite neat I think, if the ship stayed in our universe, and the team took advantage of her, fixed her up, then we'd have another ship to play with.

Thoughts..?

The ship would have been destroyed in the next episode.

This.

[Artha O'neill]

Don't forget we would have a new fighter to play with and also an extra PJ, just saying.

Can't you guys be a little bit more original than that?

Oh, I forgot the alien sidearms, too.

I think we did get an extra puddle jumper out of this. When the alien hand grenade went off, didn't McKay say something along the lines of "the puddle jumpers have been blown out"? There's no reason we wouldn't salvage it.

No he said the hanger bay had decompressed, meaning they couldnt get to the Jumper as there was no air in the hanger or in the hallways leading to it

and even if it did, the jumpers floated into that other reality, not ours.

Fine, alternate Daedalus would marry the Tria, and they would live happily ever after Seriously though, aside from being destroyed or swallowed by a plot hole, I would send alternate Daedalus to Area 51, or wherever the hell the Tau'ri build their ships these days, so the universe shifting device could be extracted for further analysis, and the necessary repairs could be conducted to recommission the ship. The Russians could use one.

[Earthgate Ricky]

I wonder if the alternate team from the alternate Daedalus had lived as Mc Kay contacts four lifespans. What they do when they meet their "twins"?

[FalconSpirit]

Daedalus 2.

No seriously, a boring name, but I bet everyone would probably call it that because it's history. Or Daedalus A or something, and then it'd just be another ship like Daedalus and Apollo that's mentioned and sometimes used in episodes. It's not like having another one will unbalance things or anything. I'm still expecting the Phoenix any day now...

[A Wraith Named Bob]

They could have called it the Icarus, who was Daedalus' brother in Greek mythology.

[PG15]

Son, not brother.

And Alt!Daedalus will be destroyed due to entropic cascade failure.

Either way...
