Eigth and ninth chevrons
The eigth chevron dials a different galaxy. The galaxy symbol goes at the start of the address (e.g. Atlantis is in the Pegasus galaxy, the Pegasus symbol is at the start of the address). The logical extention of this is that the ninth chevron dials a differnet galactic cluster, and the ninth chevron comes at the start of an address.
Difference between a hyperdrive and an FTL drive
A hyperdrive allows you to move through sub-spacetime, which is faster than moving through normal spacetime. An FTL drive creates a spacetime "wave" that propels the space that you occupy through spacetime (like driving a car. The car is moving but you aren't.). THIS DOES NOT BREAK RELATIVITY!!! Search "Alcubierre drive" for more info.
How do DESTINY stargates work?
I don't know. The best theories that I have heard are that it is a co-ordinate reference or a system where each gate has a code (like a barcode or ISBN number) and the gate dials the code.
Why does the Destiny gate only have a limited range?
Not because it's an earlier model. It's because the Destiny will only supply a certain amount of power to the gate, so it has a limited range.
Why can't the Destiny gate dial while in FTL?
(See above for how an FTL drive works) Because a wormhole would break the spacetime wave and probably destroy the Destiny.
Please post any more issues that you are unclear on, and I will do my best to resolve them.
