OK, I've got some Alteran/Lantean queries boggling me. Your answers would be greatly appreciated (otherwise this thread is dead) So anyway:
QUERY #1: Why is it that every time Ancients leave somewhere in a ship (Ark of Truth, Rising, Part 1), they always get some vertical height like a rocket, slowly up, then and a big energy blast that blasts them upwards. How come Rodney McKay could never make the Atlantis City Ship do that? IT could have been really useful in First Strike.
QUERY #2: Have they ever mentioned in canon how exactly they produce ZPM's? Everytime they think ZPM's, they think of pirate-hunting for one across the Galaxy. There might be a dormant ZPM-producing factory out there! I mean, suffice it to say, they are supposed to be the equivalent of generator-batteries (<made up, like if you could have a generator, like a battery, it would be a ZPM, i know that isnt how it works, but you know)
QUERY #3: YOu know, I think the Alterans are really stupid sometimes (it could be me, but listen to this>) You know how Merlin created that Out of Phase thing, and SG-1 have encoutered other Ancient out-of-phase things. You know what I don't get? Why not jsut incorporate it into their ships/puddlejumpers. That could make them untouchable, and unseeable - literally, as if they didnt exist, but since they are extremely smart, make a field that weapons fire can pass out of phase, to harm people. Yes, it's very dangerous, as if you get stuck out of phase... WHich brings me to a very odd query...
QUERY #4: Can you ascend out of phase?
UPDATE - QUERY #5: Why on Earth does the Atlantis City Ship have a large room, which might have well been the equivalent of a dining hall, but no kitchen? I just don't see the link!
Please respond!
