Who will captain the Phoenix? (Possible spoilers)

[Bobby]

The Daedalus-class ships are getting old. Time for a new reskinned ship already.

i agree i think its about time they made a new style ship...im not saying the daedalus-class ships look bad but it will be cool to make a newer kind...but i suppose that doesnt really go with the pictures u saw of it in the last man

No its not time for Earth to get a new ship its time for Earth to mass produce their kick ass super powerful ships that can we can make

[Janus]

I think it's time for Earth got get it's hand on some Ancient hardware to cover Pegasus - I'm thinking Aurora-class here - then we can use the Daedalus, Odyssey, Apollo and (once she's build) Phoenix to go and kick the cr*p out the Lucian Alliance. If Earth doesn't do that now, we'll be stuck with a major problem later.

[YutheGreat]

Probably Carter, Its a way out and they can bring her back when the time comes that we need the entire fleet.

all i want is a new disign or something...it needs more curves in it...like the new holden commendore compared to the last

[Kebab Gud]

I dont think its time to change out the 304.. but it think its time we get to see someone like.. mckey doing some work on the X-305

[Col. Shadow Quinn]

Possibilities
-Carter
-Marks
-a never before mentioned person.

Ha walter in command of a ship, that would be very awesome.
The actor must have got sick of saying

"unsheduelled offworld activation"

Chevron 7 locked"

and

"Recieving sg1s idc sir"

for 10 years on and off

[SGASG!]

Walter would make a good ship captain. Its amazing that he has managed not to get promoted for ten years when he has been doing excellent work while Carter, who has an altogether different job, gets promoted 3 times in that same period of time.

[jenks]

Walter has been promoted, he was promoted in between season 8 and 9.

[Col. Newman]

I don't think they should replace the Daedalus class I think they should just add another class. maybe a class of frigates for planetary defense or supply ship escort. And the look of the earth ships is fine, adding curves is a waste of resources and it cuts down on space.

How bout Walter? he's due for a promotion

Walter is already a Chief Master Sergeant, which is the highest rank for an enlisted airman.

[Kebab Gud]

The more i think about it the more logical ship for Carter is The Odyssey

[Flyboy]

Now.. given that the pheonix appeared just a few months into the future of an alternate timeline, i think its safe to say that its currently being made..
and.. I personally believe that Sam Carter will in fact become the boss on that ship..

Why?

Well.. shes not a series regular in SGA season 5, but will appear in a few episodes.
My guess is that after Richard Woolsey taker over, sam is given command of the phoenix .. that way she will still be a part of the series, but only appears now and then..

Boss? aye aye aye... ships' Captain, please.

How bout Walter? he's due for a promotion

Being a ship's Captain is a job for an Officer. Walter is enlisted. He's now basically the in charge of the Gate Room frankly, reporting directly to General Landry. He's as important as he's gonna get, which is pretty important.

The trouble is, the gateverse isn't known for its accurate representation of "other ranks" ie Airmen and Sergeants etc, in reality SG teams would have at one to two officers with anything from 3-6 other ranks, including a Sergeant who is incredibly important in such situations.

As for commanding the ship, I do see it being Carter, but not only is it a step down from Atlantis, it's also a completely different direction. Carter has commanded a science team in Area 51 (her first real command) and then she was in essence promoted to station commander with Atlantis. She should now either take control of an offworld base in our galaxy or recieve further promotion and higher command. Commanding a ship is a backwards step, and is in no way similar. Frankly, even though the Navy should be commanding the ships, it's the Air Force who are, and as such, I would want someone who's had considerable pilot experience to be in the chair, Carter has not.
