If you were an Ancient, well the Ancient who created the Stargate how would you make it? Now to me it seems the way it was built is not very efficient. I mean using constellations? Really? Most of the civilizations in space that we saw in Stargate were fairly primitive, much more so than we are. Now being an Ancient it may have been easy to understand, especially since they designed and created the device, but how is using constellations, 6 of them going to help? Then the Point of Origin, how are people supposed to know that? There are 39 symbols, so the POO has to overlap and I don't really get how that works...
Now if I was the designer of the Stargate I wouldn't make it as complex, I would make it relatively easy to use, like the Asgard computer core or the Ancient holographic knowledge thing on Atlantis. Why not simply have the pedestal and at the top make it so it is a touch screen interface that allows you to choose what planet you want to go too? Let's say you're here on Earth... You touch the screen and it will show you an image of the galaxy then you can narrow down your search by zeroing in on certain quadrants and it will get narrower and narrower over lets say 5 or 6 screens then display the active Stargates in that area. (Sorry if my explanation is a little confusing.) Another thing is I think they should've included camera's, not many people in the Stargate Universe had MALP's to use, so why not put cameras on the Gate and once you dial the gate on the interface it will show you a live feed. I doubt the Ancients made the Stargate Network just for themselves, we also have no idea how the Alliance of the Great Four Races came to be, it could've been through the Stargates...
How would you design the DHD's, Stargates and the Stargate Network?
