Also the range between refueling is huge, more than enough to span the distance between galaxies. At the very least, Destiny was meant to travel to the next galaxy cluster before it was boarded, and possibly to the next super cluster or galactic strand.
I think you have to conclude that the unknown time is at the very least, 50,000 years unmanned in space. Whatever mission it is, does not make sense without self repair.
The only way to do it without self repair, is the scattershot approach. Send many ships on the same mission, small cheap ships, and hope that one of them survives long enough. But there was only one 9 chevron address.
