    Puddle Jumpers?

    Why are there no puddle jumper like ships in Destiny on water and air I can't help but say why are there no puddle jumpers? It would be extremely useful in this situation.

    Maybe TPTB just want to make Scott suffer just a little but doncha think?

    They have shuttles...

    And what good would they be to hoist Scott out of the ice within a few hours?

      I'd say that Puddle Jumpers are a little after Destiny's creation date!

        Two shuttles on the exposed hull of a honking great spaceship and thats it?

        C'mon Ancients, I know you weren't gonna get on board the loveboat for a while, but only two ships, thats dropping the ball a little, isn't it?

          And you'd be correct.

            Destiny probably pre-dates the puddle jumpers.

              jumpers just fit through a gate. seeing the old fashioned thrusters on the shuttle, they probably were incapable of proper miniaturisation.

                I don't think Lanteans had made the puddle jumpers at the time they launched the Destiny-class of starships. Somehow the Puddle Jumpers seems to be a bit more advanced than the shuttles aboard the Destiny.

                  PJ were made around Atlantis perioid. Destiny predates Atlantis by millions of years...

                    But then again - how hard it would be to make a small vessel to fit through the gate? And how hard it would be to think of such device? They already have the Kino's tech...

                      It is a big ship, maybe they will discover something similar later on.

                        The Destiny's stargate doesn't seem to have as much range as other stargates seen, but the FTL drive is very quick. Maybe they decided it wasn't worth designing a ship to travel via stargate when flying a ship via the FTL drive was almost as quick.
                        Coming soon to Syfy and DVD... hopefully!

                          Atlantis was designed so that Puddle Jumpers had access to the gate room. How would a small vessel get from a bay to the gate room on the Destiny? Why would the Ancients have needed shuttles which could fly through stargates anyway when the intended crew was travelling round the galaxy in the Destiny?

                            The puddlejumpers were probably invented later. I think it likely that the Destiny posses devices necessary for obtaining resources such as water. They probably just haven't found those yet.

                              If they did have jumpers where would they be stored? And how would they get too/from the gate room.. There just does not seem to be any room for them to get too/from the area.
