It could be the some form of FTL technology. Remember, so far, all the FTL technology we've seen are based on Ancient tech. We can assume that the Asgard based a lot of their tech off of the Ancients, since the Ancients were more advanced. Wraith, and Goa'uld tech are all reversed engineered from Ancient. Since these Smerfians are from another galaxy, and we're assuming that they never had contacts with Ancients, we can probably assume that their tech was developed on their own. As such, they may do the same thing but look differently.
Look at another sci-fi show as an example. In Babylon 5, all the species use hyperspace as a form of travel. They use jump gates or form jump points to enter and leave hyperspace. It's also assumed that it's all based on Vorlon Tech, however the other first ones enter and leave hyperspace in different ways. The Shadows just fade in and out of it, while the Walkers of Sigma-957 open a very large point in a very bright and flashy way. In Star Trek, the main form of cloaking technology comes form the Romulans, however in Voyager, they encountered several different types of cloaked ships, and their method was different.
From what we saw, it looks like the Smurfian tech instantaneously shifts them into some FTL state. Unlike Destiny or other known races, they don't have to induce any momentum. Overall, it feels like their FTL technology is a lot like the one seen in BSG. Their ship kind of follows the same design as a battlestar too. Maybe these are the "God" race in BSG.

And Cylon fighters weren't week in a dogfight? They got blown up all the timeTst

How did Lt.James know what lever to pull to shut down power in the section when it was overloading?Later, AdamTM

chances are that while they're not fighting off blue aliens that make the Na'Vi look even more stupid, lol, and not gossipping about Col Young, they're training for any and every situation possible......Colonel Jack O'Neill: So what's your impression of Alar?
Teal'c: That he is concealing something.
Colonel Jack O'Neill: Like what?
Teal'c: I am unsure. He is concealing it.

You know you need to mention something plot-relevant to make it happen as a writer. Urinating is not plot-relevant, flying a shuttle is.
If id take that approach in writing, id just make everything happen off-screen. Oh, Young can now use the chair, because...stuff. Scott can now hack an ancient computer terminal, because...training and stuff.
NO, you need to at least give it a mention.
Is it so hard to squeeze in a line when Greer and Scott sitt in the shuttle that would go like:
"Now those flying lessons are finally going to pay off..."
or
writing "power surge protection" over the lever is even better, i could understand that the crew started to translate the ancient labels and writings on the ship instead of teaching everyone ancient or giving everyone tech-lessons.
Its not hard. What we saw there is just lazy writing.Later, AdamTM

Originally posted by kirmit View PostIt actually looked like scott was piloting the shuttle while greer was incharge of weapons, as to when he learnt to use them, well they've been on the ship a while now and I wouldn't say not mentioning was lazy writing, we just don't need to know every single thing that happens on the ship.Later, AdamTM
