One of the things that I've noticed about SGA is that they tend to keep the technology as separate from SG-1 as possible. There are storytelling or other out of universe reasons to do this, but from a purely in-universe point of view, what technologies introduced on SG-1 should be shown on SGA given that the two shows form a coherent universe?
Here are my picks:
1) Tel'tak cargo ships with hyperdrives. They don't like stationing a starship around Atlantis but sometimes they need a ship with a hyperdrive to get somewhere. So from an in-universe POV, it makes sense to get a Tel'tak since it increases the options available to the expedition at any given time. We know the SGC has access to them since they were able to procure Tel'taks in Season 10.
2) Ring transporters. The Ancients invented this technology before they split with the Ori (who still use them). There are a set of rings in the Atlantis outpost on Earth and we know that the Ancients from Atlantis still used them upon their return to the Milky Way galaxy (e.g. Merlin). I find it very hard to believe that Atlantis itself doesn't have them. To me, it just seems like the producers wanted to either force SGA to be as different from SG-1 as possible or they wanted to save money by not having the ring visual effects.
3) Zats. This has been seen a couple of times and isn't really needed on SGA, but I like them. They're effective on Wraith and can kill.
