Yep, I think it'd be useless unless you've got a similar sized one to connect to.

This is an interesting development. I'm inclined to believe it would work much like the gate system developed by the ancients, but given the dominating nature of the Ori, they built a separate system of their own, designed to their needs.
The ancients weren't interested in conquest, at least that's what they want us to believe, but the Ori could build a system of these massive gates and do tremendous damage to their enemies with little or no loss of (their) life. Transport (via ship/s) one of these massive gates to a star system and use it to gate a planet out of the star system and into a barren lifeless void. This would doom not only the planet, but the entire star system it came from. At least I think it would, but I don't know physics.
Of course they could *just have a huge portal generator at a stationary location from which they could* stage massive invasions against inferior foes and subjugate them.

Ok so I just read part one of the interview with Brad Wright and Robert Cooper....and they said that the Ori are the original Ancients. The Ori ARE Ancients. I'm still trying to wrap my head around that. They think it's wrong NOT to interfere. Unlike "our" Ancients...So I'm thinking that since the Ori are the original Ancients, that the Ori Galaxy is probably where the Ancients....all Ancients.....came from. So if we assume that the Ancients are the Gatebuilders, then now I'm thinking that these gate-like devices ARE in fact REALLY HUGE Stargates! I mean, "our" Ancients made these small gates....it's plausible to think now that the "Original" Ancients can make MUCH BIGGER gates. I mean, I'm still positive that they couldn't dial out to a smaller Stargate....but I think now that in the Ori Galaxy those HUGE gates might be the norm. Cause they've had all this time to perfect the art of making gates, because even though they're ascended they don't just sit there and do nothing. This is insane, I'm still reeling. So my guess is that "our" Ancients were a faction of the Original Ancients that broke off and left their Galaxy and came here. Probably because of their differnce in opinion about interfering/not interfering. There's so much more I wanna say but can't think of, and also not wanting to get TOO far off-topic. Big....Honkin'......STARGATES! WOW.

How confirmed is this "big stargate" rumor? Honestly, it seems kinda cheap to me as well, but they could pull it off without seeming like a B5 jumpgate ripoff. Otherwise, they might as well send out the newly built Ancient Tech enhanced BC-303 Excalibur (the sword's just an artsy power source) to search the galaxy for a cure to the Drah... Ori plague.Cogito ergo dubito.

What if this could be the purpose of the 9th chevron? Something to do with giant gates. P.S. People stop saying "Big Honkin' Magnets." It's stupid and old. Geesh it gets annoying when I see that.
