3 ZPM = What?

[AKnightWhoSaysNi]

flying cities own!

It would be cool if they flew atlantis to earth. Or atleast to the alpha site. It makes no sense to waste 2 battlecruisers on ferry duty while the ori fleet is knocking at your door.

Im surprised atlantis doesnt have an armoury chock full of ZPM's...

They probobly used them all up during the first siege.

To answer/solve most questions/disputes in this thread:

-There are no armories full of zpms because they'd be able to detect them.

-With regards to the single zpm vs. three zpms argument, it would seem that three zpms could take more punishment because all the stress would be spreading out to the different zpms.

-Who needs to leave pegasus when you've got a habitable planet on the other side of the solar system. You move it there, you wont have to cloak it b/c wraith will just fly by the planet on their way to lantia. It's really convenient b/c it wouldnt use as much zpm power as flying to the mw. Besides, who really wants to remember another gate address when they dont have to.

3 is better than one

[SmallTimePerson]

Mackay mentions something about a 2nd zpm in COUP D'ETAT

he said 2 is better than one and three is better than two

Spoiler:

but the genii's zpm has been depleted for thousands of years

the heavy table analogy makes sense, there is probably a certain amount of strain on the ZPM for "optimum" duration of power, to amount of power given.
