Destiny's Shuttles

The seed ship was docked under the Destiny .. if my memory serves me right.

Very true, near the front end of Destiny:

I just had an idea.. quite logical, actually. What if.. the free slot is just that - a free slot! For a guest shuttle. Just in case. Transport people and/or resources. (from whatever place .. another Destiny class ship? Seeder (do they have shuttle slots or something) ? Base station.. ? something. )

We never saw any shuttles on the seed ship in season 2.. so i doubt that. BUT if the Destiny IS one of 4 (or 6) ships sent out, in each direction, perhaps the transfer of shuttles from one to another (using that spare slot) is one way they were going to use to transfer data/personnel.

Or they could use the Stargate when close enough for faster/easier/safer transfer as it has been shown Destiny classes can dial each other.

Even though i believe there is only one.

True... Heck do we even know the 'max' range of the shuttles?

[Demoniser]

i think the 3rd is just a guest slot, or maybe the one the ancients departed from after launching the vessel, they didnt have any matter transporters at that time so id imagine that they would have finished final prep and left the ship via shuttle, plus if there was an incident while the ship was still nearby or withing the milky way, they would have to get on board and what easier way than a shuttle instead of docking with a larger ship.

They probably used the many airlocks on the ship, or the gate.

Maybe it was taken by the former crew(Evidence:the Life Support had run out. If Destiny had been with a crew, Life Support would be max) or maybe some alien got it(Shield Penetration technology)

[garhkal]

Or it got too damaged, and destiny ejected it.

Destiny had two (one damaged badly), when the current crew boarded. They repaired the damaged one and then left it with the crew that stayed behind on the uber alien built planet. They then crashed the remaining shuttle. The uber aliens somehow returned a completely repaired shuttle with the lone surviver of the failed colony. Then This season on Twin Destiny, an out of time synced shuttle was brought on board by an out of time sync Rush. Oh and apparently after all this time we find out shuttles are in fact armed!

They were seen firing on enemies in Space, you know, when they defended the ship against the blues.

There was more than one "lone survivor" and we've known about the shuttle's weapon capabilities since season 1.

Yeah, I thought that "every lone survivor" of the entire failed colony was there and they all died during the episode. Plus, the Shuttle's weapons have been seen since Space.

Yup

[IWKYZerocool]

Quick question people. Do you think a ring transporter will fit inside a shuttle?
