Why didn't they just...

[Dr. Carter]

If the colonists were going to be such a drain on resources, why didn't they just put them in the stasis pods?

What do you think will happen in the next episode? "Stargate: Universe" is slow and predictable.

IF it is predictable. then what WILL happen next episode and what do you predict for the whole scope of the show?

Not mentioning the use/reason_not_to_use the stasis pods as a work-around to the C02 problem bothered me as well.

For that matter, they should be using them on a regular basis at this point to lower the operating costs of the ship in general. Anyone not actively engaged in something should be taking a cold nap.

I also agree that Novus is a treasure trove and they'd be well served by spending some time looping the Destiny back and forth between the sun in that system and the planet to scavenge for resources and make repairs.

They will have semi decent (30 year old) intelligence from the refugees on locations of equipment, geography, the city's layout. Can use the shuttle / suits for EVA to the planet to gather supplies and ferry them back to the Destiny.

They could put anyone not involved in recovery/repair in stasis until everything is operational.

And provided they are truly hidden unless they use the gate, they should be able to do so indefinitely.

If they had to... they should spend literally years affecting repairs to the Destiny and building up supplies.

Maybe they don't do that, as it might damage the pods..
