Important to remember...

[_Ancients_]

that the Destiny is an "automated" ship. So it makes me wonder how the Ancients built it. Would they have spent much time/resources on life support systems? If not, this would be a serious obstacle for the crew to overcome.

Taking a cue from the title of the episodes thus far, it makes me believe that this will be what they are tackling in the first couple of episodes. It may sound silly, but would they have even put galleys and sleeping quarters in it? If it was going to be seeding Stargates then it obviously has to have a large cargo bay and beaming technology to get the gates down to the planets.

Anyways, just was thinking about how an automated ship could cause problems for a human crew and/or what they would have put on the ship to enable it to complete its mission.

Good catch.

[HorizonSurfer]

That is a thought.

Although I'm also thinking that just because the ships navigation is automated might not mean that the seeding of the stargates still wasn't going to take a crew.

I suspect you're right about it being a big issue at first though.

[Shpinxinator]

Wait wait...Destiny isn't the automated ship...the gate seeder ship that went ahead of it is

The Destiny is not the 'Seeder Ship.' It is the ship that follows up to basically 'check up on the already seeded gates.'

In my opinion, I believe there will be quarters, etc. The Destiny was part of the Ancient's experiment to seed the galaxies with Stargates millions of years ago but the Ancients had to abandon it after ascension. So, I assume they were on board the ship and would have required the necessities to sustain life, etc.

[Ravroz]

That would be my guess but most likely after millions of years or however long it's been running around those resources are likely almost depleted which will probably be the first hurdles they will be running into.

Ahhh yes that's right......

Still a lot to get implanted into the ol' memory banks yet.

[Alteran of Atlantis]

The Destiny might have been supposed to have a crew, but the Ancients got busy with Ascension and other things. So I'd assume they'll be living quarters and other things, but there will probably still be some issues.

Exactly. Perfectly said.

There is so much potential for this show it's incredibly amazing.. I get more excited for this show every day.. If done right, I will put this right at the level of SG1 and possibly even better eventually. If it is written and created correctly that is..

[BIG_GATE_HEAD]

I am waiting to see if they will use energy weapons more on this show seeing as how they will be completely cut off from earth. After one year on atlantis they got more supplies like food and bullets. These people I would imagine will be cut off a lot longer and were not planning on being gone long.

I'm right there with you, and I'm not all that worried about the writing actually. I'm thinking that this is a chance for some of the writers to spread their wings a bit, and I think we're in for some good stuff.

[ph30nix]

What doesnt make sense to me with the entire plot for universe....

that there wouldnt be some kind of saftey feature to prevent this exact thing from happening.

I mean we all know the ancients were insanely stupid most of the times according to the writers, (like creating a gate system that doesnt even let you know if you will survive the trip to the other side, and before you say well the planets were safe when they placed them there, well think of the space gates)

but aside from that they always said most ancient systems are Highly redundant and usualy have numerous safety features.

you would think they would have a very obvious "ABORT" protocal somewhere on destiny ya know. or just some kinda of recall directive to send it back to earth.

Lol watch one of the first episodes either someone will find it but not say anything to anyone, or WE will find it and it will be right out in the open and just never noticed. lol then a few seasons down the road when the shows about to end someone will be like
"wtf is this.... son of a....."

[Promethius30]

"water" could be to do with that

[SGSteve]

I think one of the main things I want to see from this series is realism when it comes to supplies. This is a ship separated from Earth with seemingly no way of getting back. We saw this in Star Trek Voyager, but they seemed to have magically unlimited supplies / shuttles / everything. From the sounds of what you people are saying they will be dealing with finite supplies, which is good.
