Hi all
Just thought I'd start a thread asking what you all like about destiny as a ship. It could be anything from a piece of tech to the way it looks.
For me I have a few..
The solar charging system - those collectors look cool and the way destiny flies through a star just always looks beautiful.
The many different alarm sounds on destiny - both on the bridge and in the engineering area. I used to like Atlantis's alarm but destinys alarms are awesome (anyone got them as sound effects for me? - I'd love them on my windows system so PM me!)
The shape of the ship - long, pointy, flat, wide wings but with a square shaped pyramid. Oh and it has what appears to be two eyes at the front on the nose (I always hoped we were going to see some ultra cool tech behind those!).
The big laser guns on the outside.. just gotta love those - millions of years and still working
The bridge - the way it tucks away and then pops up oh and war mode where the monitors drop out of the ceiling etc. Totally cool.
Most of all.. destinys semi self intelligence. From locking rooms, playing with youngs mind (to make him strong again) to communicating with rush on the bridge. Destiny is silently self aware and almost seems friendly (mind you after several million years alone following seed ships and being attacked I suppose the ship was grateful for the company ). Yes, i was very sad seeing the twin destiny from the future being destroyed - it felt so wrong! I wanted to see them tow it to safety somehow lol.
Bits I didn't like about the ship?
The chair! The worst looking design ever. Even the ancients knew how to design stuff properly and the chair just doesn't seem to fit with their normal designs.
The shuttles (and no, I didn't like the puddle jumpers either). For a ship that was designed to check out stargates they're the wrong shape and have no direct access to the ships own gate. That just seemed wrong for an ancient design. I didn't like the PJs but at least they could get through the gate!
It was the only ship to have direct contact with stargates. Atlantis was supposed to be the ultimately tool'd up ancient ship but even atlantis couldn't communicate directly with the stargates (that we know of) so it seems wrong that destiny was the only ship that could.
The main weapon - it was just an oversized normal weapon and didn't seem overly impressive if you ask me. It only seemed to point forwards so could only take on one 'big' enemy ship at a time and lots of smaller ones.
