The list of AD&D campaings and setting is shocking :

But back to the Stargate. it can be challenging to tell such stories if everything is concentrated around the portal. I mean if the team is visiting a new world, then in spite of every actions, adventure, escape, outbreak, so basically whatever they will end up that they can leave (hopefully alive... ) the world only through the Stargate. I know the device is literally a plot device to bring a team from A to B, so the main events will happen on the planet and not necessarily around the gate.
For example a war scenario in the galaxy. You know the hostile groups were fighting for every corner in the space, like there would be a real 3D battlefield. But in the world of Stargate, can we talk about "real" domains? They have tried to introduce different Systemlord controlled territories, but basically everybody can dial everyone in the system if they know the planets' coordinates. So this information would be essential for any major galactic player. SGC was lucky as they could get their hands on Goa'uld, Asgard and Ancient databases, while their lack of DHD made them an unique part of the network too.
So my question is, whether the new SG RPG will introduce space ships? Or every season will be a different "setting"? A good GM can tell an exciting story without spaceships, so the usage of the Stargate won't be repetative in the stories as long as they are told well.
