Repairing the destiny

[valence28]

We saw the seeder ship stopped, and the immense power reserves. We do not know why it was stopped. It didn't appear to be in any disrepair or drifting, or really damaged at all. It could have stopped for several reasons IMO:

To allow destiny to dock and dial earth, to request repairs.
To allow destiny to dock, dial earth or other place to request repairs for the seeder ship.

I hardly think destiny was intended to repair this ship after all this time. There could have been some automated distress call the seeder ship put out, don't know. I'm sure Telford will end up alive and communicating on some level with the aliens that were hibernating on the ship. We do know destiny has automated repair drones, and the seeder ship looked to have gates, power, and possibly the facilities to repair destiny. I'd like to see the power reserves repaired personally. I realize that "the wrong people making due in space" is the motif behind this series, but would like to see some back and forth and new characters. Other characters could be involved on earth from who were once on the ship, introducing an earth conflict / conspiracy element to the plot lines.

If they ever do use a seeder ship to repair Destiny (which I doubt will happen) then it will most likely be in the form of salvaging, not manufacturing. The seeder ships, as far as we know, make Stargates and only Stargates. There's no indication that these things are flying factories to make you whatever you want. It would be incredibly costly on the Ancients part to build all of those seeder ships to build whatever they need, when all they need is for them to seed Stargates. If you wanted to repair Destiny with a seeder ship, your best bet would be to scuttle parts of the ship and patch up Destiny. But the damage seems very extensive, and I don't think the crew has all of the tools and equipment necessary to do that sort of thing.


After all, the main premise of the show is a bunch of rag-tag people, ill-equipped and no experience with this sort of thing, trying to survive on the other side of the universe.

Spoiler:

what about rush finding the control room, it might help

[james123182]

it could. but how? and they mentioned repairing the courtyard. i'm hping it's a nice place when it's done.

[morbosfist]

It'll be a very big greenhouse, assuming Young lets them work on it rather than continuing to repair the weapons.

[Carter's Boy]

i thought dr.parks said they'd like to turn it into a bigger hydroponics... i think it has a specific purpose maybe a meeting room for all crew, gym game courts, ... imo the more we get to see the Destiny and its rooms learn its secrets or even just give different rooms for more varied scenes.

how can destiny fly through a star with all the heat preasure and radiation but when it fot hit of the nutron star nearly get destroyed surely being in the middle of a star is just as bad

Because in the former case it has an unlimited supply of power.

Well for one, it wasn't necessarily the Neutron Star's specific characteristics that was damaging Destiny. It was part of a binary-pulsar star system and the collective radiation bursts (which were far more substantial) really served to deplete Destiny's shields more quickly.

It's likely that Destiny is designed to charge up from a specific star type (like our sun—being that it originated in our solar system), so it seeks our stars similar to our own whenever it needs to recharge it's systems.

I think that repairing the dome room should be their priority now. Not only will it allow they to grow considerably more food and medicinal plants, the hole in the dome is considerable and fixing could give the shields a major boost.

Wouldn't it be extremely easy to send people home now?
Just drive the ship in a star and use the energy to call home.
The very good thing would be to do also the opposite, to send real experts (and more military) to the ship, but that's a problem, being that earth doesn't have enough energy.

[morbosfist]

That would just blow Destiny up.

Have you actually watched season 1? I'll refresh your mind.

Spoiler:

They tried that. Many energy conduits are badly damaged and rerouting all the energy trough the remaing ones is plain careless. Even secondary system are out of the question. And any expert they need is easily brough in trough the Stones. And again, happened in Season 1.

[rushy]

No, it's not possible.

[garhkal]

yup they have as seen in "the quest" part 1&2 merlin had one of those devices so the ancients def had the tech.

But how far in the past was destiny launched, compared to when "merlin" made that device?

Actually, Mallozzi said on his blog that the Destiny has some ability to repair itself...which is very vague because we still don't know what parts of the ship it can repair by itself or how long it takes to repair...

Wouldn't that be the repair bot?

Depending on the capabilities of the repair systems. May be the ancients only design the engines an navigation systems an shield systems to be self repairing. As they were the mission essential systems at least from what we been told.

When why has our team been seen to be hand repairing them if they were 'self repairing'?

I can only imagine lol.

Young: What is it you found Eli
Eli: Pit droids!
Young: What?
Eli: Pit Droids! Starwars Episode 1 anyone?

You can just imagine Young's face when Eli says that.. Oh wait, he is in stasis!

If they found a planet with naquada on it, could they pull together a generator? Rush or Eli seem to have the skills to make it happen, and Greer's good at improvising things.

They may have the know how, but do they have the tools?

The ship likely does have repair systems that have probably been damaged themselves over the centuries. Perhaps not working at all anymore or just working at such minimal levels due to damage to the repair system itself.

Thats a good point tiger. Maybe the self repair systems themselves are damaged and/or offline.

By that i meant, pre Faster than light capable ships.

They had replicators by then. And if i had made an enemy of super inteligent nano machines, i wouldnt want them all over my ships and cities, ready to be reprogramed to work against me.
And as far as we know, the Goa'uld could have got their nano tech from earlier ancient stuff left over in our galaxy.

I don't think they had replicators back then let alone the nanno tech of the Asurans..
