It is so powerful I cry at the cancellation. I loved SGU.
It wasn't that good
I know. It was so good.
They couldn't have ended it on a worse premise, I wanted to know if he figured out how the fix the pod or if he died, what about the people that created that planet for them etc. So much left untold
@@SC-vs7ikHe didn't fix the pod there is a comic about what happened after the last episode.
SGU had great SFX, an awesome premise, and a solid cast. What killed the show was the writing style which the fans did not like.
The writers were trying to catch the Battlestar Galactica lightning in a bottle for themselves, but Stargate fans did not care for the darker, sexier, and grittier tone that worked for Galactica but just did not transfer well over to Stargate's fanbase.
Destiny was a beautiful design, and the FX the used for her FTL was just as elegant as the ship.
Yes it was!
It really says something about how advanced the Ancients were if millions of year ago they could build a ship that is still roughly at the level of most modern contemporary civilizations, even if some particular examples have now surpassed it.
Between the building of Destiny and the current day, the Ancients eliminated all sentient life in our galaxy.
@@1st2nd2no they didn't. Why do people keep mixing halo and stargate??? The decara device could be used as a "weapon" but it was designed to manipulate and control evolution. The ancients plague only affected them, why would they eliminate all life in the galaxy to kill a plague effecting them? The ancients were near extinction, and before leaving the milky way used the decara device to manipulate the biology of certain species throughout the galaxy to evolve along their lines. They never wiped out all life in the galaxy.
Little known fact, Destiny did recover that mysterious background radiation signal. It was "404 error season 3 not found"
😂😂😂😂😂 well said
Chillllllllll
Indeed
😂😂😂😂
i hate you... have an upvote.
This is the one series that needs to be finished. They just left it hanging.
There were a couple of comic books. But nothing official about how canon they are.
I don't need to see anything from this series ever again...much like Star Trek Enterprise. Both were Franchise Killers. The result would be the same today if it were brought back.
The Destiny survived on its own for millions of years through 10's of thousands of galaxies. I would not discount it.
Destiny will survive the drift between galaxies. The Crew will likely die in their pods and Elie will have died long before them without water and food being replenished
@@CrazyCarnieCory In the comics that continued it he found other pods in the unexplored parts of the ship.
Destiny’s mission was specific. Seed galaxies with life and Stargates above planets. But it also had a very important mission too - it was on a deep space mission - The purpose was to search for the origins of a message in the Cosmic Microwave Background. It did not complete that mission before the Ancients ascended, and the project had already been largely abandoned.
The microwave was in Daves kitchen
The Destiny, put the gates on planets. The Ancients didn't use "space gates" until they hit Pegasus. Millions of years after Destiny left.
@@oldmanjohnson69 naa that was the seed ships.
They probably figured out the mystery after they Ascended.
We all know that Stewie Griffin caused the Big Bang so the message was probably something stupid 😂
The Destinys weapons are fitted for its job, all energy based that can be recharged thru its refueling methods since it has no way of rearming projectiles like whatever drone weapon predecessor they had of the time.
Anyone else notice when talking about the Ancient drone weapons (3:48) they showed the nuclear missile from SGA not a drone?
Yes, I immediately noticed that the Horizon platform was shown instead of a Lantean drone.
As a trekkie, I must admit this was one Stargate series I could really get into. Very intriguing technology and definitely something I could see our own Precursor race sending out...them or the Iconians(ironically)
Why are you talking about Halo and Star Trek races? Iconians were ST and Precursors were Halo. 😂
"Precursors, a.k.a. "Ancients", "Elders" or "Old Ones", are a standard of Science Fiction (especially Space Opera), Fantasy and occasionally Horror: an ancient race whose culture and knowledge rose to its pinnacle in ages long past but which is no longer present." @@iongeneral
@@iongeneral There's also a race known as the Precursors in Star Trek TNG. They seeded life across the galaxy, which is the canonical reason for why most species share the same arrangement of two arms and two legs.
Very solid reasoning about its rankings with other starships. I agree with your assessment.
What you mean by "was"?
The series ended in a cliffhanger, that suggested that the Destiny is now somewhere between galaxies, doing great🤗
It`s difficult to imagine they had Aurora class ships in use like 10-15 thousand years ago, and such an advanced ship was made 15 million years ago. Not that Aurora wasn`t more advanced but not that huge difference as a time gap.
Also always was curious whether Ancients got their answers regarding the microwave radiation after they ascended ot not. Kind of cliffhanger for me haha.
SGU deserved more. They could make a cartoon at least. Like B5 just did
Stargate tried animation at one point, it is best left buried.
@@JaredLS10 yeah but everything can be done right. I myself not a fan of cartoons, but in this case I don`t see another way. Don`t want them to bring all the characters back, never liked the cast
The show is not realistic based on the Ancients capabilities because then there wouldn't be a show. They could have put 3 or 12 ZPM's on an Aurora class ship. Imagine the possibilities. Shield and weapons would be no match for anything. Even with just 1 ZPM they could resupply the ship with an endless amount of drones and ZPM's. If they can cloak something as large as Atlantis they could have made a support ship to cloak an entire fleet. They could also use that Stargate idea as another weapon source to beam a weapon through it like the Asuran's did with the satellite. Funny how it was the humans that thought of beaming nukes to the enemy ship. The ancients could have done something similar such as beam clusters of drones closer to the target. The Asuran's were the perfect creation. All they had to do was make them go kill the Wraith. Or here's an idea, make replicators that look like Wraith and go start wars between them. As for Atlantis, the earth government would have 2000 scientists going through that whole city for technology. It likely had the facilities to create a significant amount of technology including ZPM's.
@@MuffinMan0521 lots of great notes here
@@descendinguniverse666Not that the aurora class wasn't more advanced? Are you serious lol you could park destiny in one of the aurora class hangars not to mention the atlantis city ships of which there were more than one .
Sorta reminds me of the Autobot Ark from the "Fall of Cybertron" video game. A huge ship built with massive engines never before seen. But more of a explorer vessel. It can defend itself but was designed to outrun its enemies. Not slug it out long term with enemy ships.
I think the Destiny , when New , would have been MORE than a match for any other ship seen in the Stargate Franchise .
I really liked SGU. One of the better Stargate series. Even better than Stargate Atlantis.
I really miss this show
What is important about the starship Destiny is not its "power", but its capacity to travel faster than light without going hyperspatial. As many scientists say, any body faster than light would go back in time. And as Dr. Rush said somewhere in the second season, the Ancients found intelligent signals from the beginning of the Universe, and the Destiny was designed to reach the origin of that signals... Maybe, to meet God physically. But when the Ancients "ascended" and transcended their physical bodies, they didn't need more the ship and was abandoned in the middle of its travel.
When they god thing made sgu even worse like rip off bsg more
@@notmyself2533 If SGU is a rip off of BSG, then SG1 is a rip off of Star Trek, without the Enterprise.
Had a lot going for it, just came at the wrong time 😢, Robert Carlisle was awesome in it.
The ship itself can be more powerful but through whole series not everything was discovered. Probably it could repair itself completely but for some reason the self-repair wasn't working. I wouldn't be surprised if it could update itself in some way to keep itself 100% efficient.
Spoilers...
....
There is a series of SGU comics that take place a few weeks after the end of the show. There Eli finds four of the original engineers who created Destiny in stasis, who had been trapped on the ship when it was launched. After resolving a good deal of conflict between the expedition and the ancient engineers, it was discovered that the four were sick and to cure them it was necessary to produce doses of synthetic Tretonim. When searching for ingredients, it was inevitable to come into conflict with those murderous drones. To ensure better chances, the chief engineer activated a legion of maintenance robots that repaired much of the ship's damage, released weapons controls, and activated the auxiliary reactors for more energy. With that, Destiny was now far superior to drones. In the end, the expedition could not use the self-repair functions simply because they did not have sufficient access permission. In the end, the team now has old engineers, a repaired ship, complete weapons control, more energy capacity, and access to the cargo areas that were blocked by damage, which contained, in addition to materials, a complete collection of seeds for the hydroponic bays.
Destiny does repair itself with that robot and later on two robots. You can see areas later on were fully repaired once they started using the robot
I truly missed and enjoyed this show Son much when it first appeared. I loved the more mature darker story
The Aurora-class might also be capable of harnessing energy from stars similar to the Destiny and seedships. Such technology would still be very useful, even after the invention of ZPM's. Given an that an Aurora's method of generating power has yet be specified, harvesting energy from stars seems to be the likely possibility. Yes, a ZPM can power an Aurora but this is an optional power source and not the default.
A ZPM provides way more power though but I bet it could beat the replicator ancients Aurora’s cause they were weak as hell cause they were based on an older design not the latest that the ancients had
You realize that the Destiny casually swooped into stars for fuel, when that same action nearly killed other Stargate ships? It also took so many beatings from countless warships trying to seize it, that it's existence became legendary across multiple galaxies that thought to chase it; by the time our team gets to the Destiny, it's old.... like.... really really old.
Like looking at a 120 year old war veteran forced back into active combat whom proceeds to keep up with all the other soldiers, then saying, "...compared to them, I don't see what's so special about this war hero. He's pretty average, and others are outperforming him a bit more."
Consider the age difference.
Investment might also be a big player in the topic as well. A standard destroyer or capitalship probably got alot less resources and specialization then destiny did. The general feeling you got from the show is the ship had an answer for everything. No matter what it was. And you had a completely different contextual feeling for an aurora or the orion for instance. powerful and technologically advanced. but no where near as versatile . I imagine in its hay day, with all *secrets* revealed the destiney would probably be more than a match for any ship in the stargate universe. barring, maybe the ori and tauri ships
"They used drones in Stargate Atlantis"
- Proceeds to put a picture of Horizon on screen . . .
I wish they would bring out a new Universe series
While I agree with assessment about purpose of Destiny and whole engine and weapon parts(in the end it was most important for it to have rechargeable weapons etc.) I think shields and durability of Destiny is little underestimated. In defense, it should be close to top, if not top of SG (known) universe. If I remember right, in one episode, they found second Destiny, almost destroyed, that even with its age, managed to go INSIDE star to open gate back to earth. I mean, yeah, it created bunch of time anomalies and and permanently damaged it, but fact, it travel through star and someone survived it (so life system vere somehow still working) is damn impressive. (I think they even go through exact centre of star, but maybe I remember wrong). Did it use energy of star to power shields? Yes, but it wasn't in best condition. Destiny could probably travel through both Pegasus and Ori galaxy and survive it (if Ori doesn't personally come to fight). Could it beat them all? Probably not, but it would survive them.
SGU was way better than i ever thought it was going to be. Loved it.
Thy really screwed up with the first 5 episodes... They were REALLY boring. The series ended up being great, but It also suffered with having way too much friction between the characters which for the time period was really jarring.. The limitations on the ships movement and access also confined the action to a feeling of traped squabbling morons in a lift. It got better when they had external threats, and control of the ship. But by then everyone had switched off.
I wonder if they didn't have drone tech when they made Destiny, or if they just opted not to use it favoring energy projectors over ammunition based weapons. If the Destiny had drones it would likely need a drone manufacturing area to resupply them, or else be reliant on resupply through it's stargate.
I think they originally (or at least in one of the backgrounds of the show) explain this. Destiny was built just after the ancients arrive in the Milky Way. So whatever tech is on the ship is mostly likely tech they brought from the Ori galaxy. The drone weapons appear to only be present in systems that were built just prior to their evacuation of the Milky Way, such as the weapons platform in Antarctica and Atlantis (and that one that means lost in fire). Since the Milky Way was uninhabited when the ancients arrived (this isn't said specifically, but given their terraforming activities using the device at Dekara its assumable that it was), so its doubtful their would have been much weapons development until the Ori rediscovered them. This would make it logical that the Ori would use a virus to wipe them out if they were able to push their weapons tech, and why the drones were so powerful and would remain their main defensive weapons for another 30 million years. That means it most likely pre-dates that tech by several million years.
Just imagine if the destiny crew was able to stop somewhere with a seed ship too. Then add some parts from the Daedalus class ships to her. Those aliens from the SGU galaxies would not be as big of a headache. Even just stay and fix the ship to get it at a better efficiency.
It was nice try and new story. My favorite after the og Stargate Sg1 was definetly Atlantis.
Another reason the Destiny didn´t use drones is probably that drones are basically self-flying projectiles. Much like small rockets. So if the Destiny used those, it eventually would have run out of "ammo" (meaning drones).
We learn in Stargate Atlantis, that there are storage units in the City for the drones and that they were pretty much depleted. Which means even after the city was reactivated by the humans from earth, no automatic production started. Given that this was millions of years of advancement after the Destiny was launched, it is reasonable to assume they didn´t have the technology to automate the process back then, either. Or they just decided drones were not necessarily needed and difficult to automatically produce so they chose other weapons... or drones weren´t invented, yet.
Drones was control by your mind until they hit there targets if remember right
This concept was so cool. But two years of exploring that ship and the only new things they find is Cyro pods. The have access to the bridge for months and they never go over finding new spots or labs or apartments I wish they put more focus on the mysteries of the ship over character development. Most characters never change either which is a problem with going the "hero's" route of character development.
May is a good example. IOA member and rep and all she does is constantly go against any military action on everything. Her character started off anti military and kept that stance. Eli was a man child and rush makes that comparison more than once. And at the end Eli is left out. But he doesn't change much either. Nothing against the show. Just rewatching it I noticed these things that really bugged me. Then when they get into a cool story line that could explain some of the stuff going on the show gets canceled
Right, instead of exploring the ship they (sort of) go back to Earth using the stones... which is, of course, cheaper.
@@alexsarbu3978 yeah it is cheaper but then all the promotional material on like the sci-fi network website the space website all these publications is broadcast stations that were debuting the show, all of the advertisement should not have been about the ship and the mysteries about the ship I don't know if anyone check the website out but when Stargate universe first launched they had a full like video tour of the ship in like in depth descriptions of like how some things work and every time a new episode came out they released a new section of the ship with like more detailed information about like how the ship worked. It would have been cheaper to probably do the entire ship as exploration and building new rooms.
3:48 that is not a drone that is the Horizon
The Destiny js a scientific exploration ship and will not be a match for specialist warships.
They don’t pick up fuel when going into a star, it’s recharging it’s battery’s.
we can never really know because most of the ship they never explored so who knows what other weapon systems he may have had...most likely eli would have figured a lot of things out when they woke up...if he had gotten that next season it could have propelled a few more seasons at least
I still believe SG-U wasn't canceled. They are still sleeping, and one day long in the future, they will wake up.
looking at the "power levels" of ships is fun. pre anubis, a single asgard ship, regardless of it being a battleship or not, was enough to put the fear of god into the goa'uld (forgive the pun, i had to).
The explanation that the destiny was going to find what emitted a signal encoded in the background radiation seems strange anyway. The radiation was emitted 13.6 billion years ago and even if we had a hyperdrive or warp drive to travel to the cosmic horizon we would just find more galaxies similar to our own as it's now. If the ancients wanted to find the source they needed a time machine (super puddle jumper) to go back in time to near the big bang and can remain in the precursor to the milky way galaxy.
They might even done that and found the knowledge required for Ascension. A rogue member could then disclose the secret to the Ori as there was a rogue member to spread the prior plague.
They didn't need to find the source, but map out more of the pattern to understand it.
Not really, Destiyn travels faster than light, the milky way is only 50k light years in diameter, in the show they traveled from the edge of one galaxy, through space to another galaxy and 1/4 way through it until they went into sleep.. in just 2 years.. Which means destiny can travel millions of lights years, in just a year or two.. If you do the math then 13.6 billion light years to the get the big bang means it wont take as long as you think for destiny to get there. The distance between the milky way and Pegasus is 3 million light years, so lets assume its 3 million between that first galaxy they were in and the new one they got to with the drones.. Rush said it would take a few weeks to gap that distance.. This means they destiny has probably been through BILLIONS of galaxies
SGU hat potential...and they took it...
now we see only one-star-productions in form of Netflix, Apple, Amazon, etc...
Movie-Industrie is so done!!
We have to take into account that ship is old , much older than the Gate of Milk Way ( who was around 60 Millions years old) So it is pretty much reasonable that ship is not in great performance . Still , the fact they have a ship that could litterally sundiving and maintain the shield for i don't know how many minutes or Hours it get to it . We know that the Ship could even go to O-star class and maintaining a good condition even if the inside of the Starship was heated for around few hundreds degree Celsius . Now as for the weapons , like the Shield , they are limited due to the State of the ship . I mean in the simulation generated by the IA , the Destiny cannot go above a certain threshold before it blow up and take several kilometers around it .
As for the comment by the Ha'tak . I have to keep in mind that the Ha'tak non upgraded by Anubis could keep his shield around 9-12 hours (can't remember ) and have a firepower maximum to a few hundred megatons . If we stay coherent with the series and keep a open-minded state , this ship could be in theory maybe more advanced than the Ha'tak in term of performance but will fail against the technological peers such as the Asgard , more recent Alterran ships and Ori .
That's one beautiful ship
Agree with the assessment regarding the Asgards; however in my the Tauri while still have Asgard tech I think would be inferior in a head to head combat that's because most of the feats that you compare them too is usually because they had access to ZPM which greatly enhanced their Offensive and Defensive capabilities. That said if the Tauri sends multiple ships I think they could over whelm them but unless Destiny is threatening Earth; that probably won't be the case in my mind Earth would send one ship then 2 or 3 too match threat. That said in mind Destiny tech (even at 40%) stands a top of Tauri and matching or below Asgards. That said great video and summary.
Problem number one how the hell you attack a ship that is in ftl but not the same as yours unless you spend all the time it takes to track where it goes next to refuel
Well, yes and no that the Destiny did not have a crew. In the canon comic series, it was revealed that Ancient Engineers had been aboard when the ship was accidentally launched. They could not be recalled, and needed to get a certain distance before the Stargate would work. So, they went into cryo awaiting the crew that was supposed to come. That never happened. With their knowledge of the ship, they managed to effect long delayed repairs.
I'd say the BC304 with Asgard core and with modifications was the most powerful ship (if ZPM installed) of any ship in SG Universe.
One of the biggest problems with power scaling the Destiny is that we never really saw it go up against anything we know. All of the enemies the Destiny fought were unknown aliens. For all we know, one of those alien frigates could destroy an Asgardian battle ship with ease.
Same problem DBZ has with power scaling. Once they are SS3, any chump that can land a punch on them could also destroy a solar system, but chumps will still get chumped, throwing off the power scaling.
The movie and this show was the only Stargate show I watched and liked. I could not stand the other shows.
Man I miss this show, really was unique for the show it was
It's distracting that you refer to Wraith Hives as "Motherships, lol.
Also, In terms of shielding and energy weapons, the Asgard had far exceeded the Ancients by the time of their death. The Asgard plasma beam weapons are some of the most potent weapons we ever see in stargate only possibly being surpassed by the Ori Mothership main weapons. Ancient drones were nowhere near as potent, at least against shielded enemies.
The Asgard also had some of the most powerful and fastest hyperdrive system ever invented. Only being surpassed in speed by the Ancient Wormhole Drive.
The only area we have any reason to believe the Asgard never surpassed or even reached the Ancients technology wise, is compact power generation. The ZPM is the most potent "man-made" power generation/storage technology we ever see in the franchise, and we never have any reason to believe the Asgard have anything comparable, at least at that size, as their ships were powered by huge Neutrino-Ion Generators. The Asgard Core we see installed on the Odessey has some form of advanced power core as well, but we do not know how powerful it is.
Other than that, interesting video. I always enjoy some good stargate content.
I always thought that it was dumb that the little drone ships were able to attack and do so.much damage to it.
Destiny could have handled it better if the ships power reserves were at 100%
We need more SG on TV...
Destiny is always as strong as it is in the script. One time it can withstand extreme weapons and point fire, the next time a speck of dust flying by causes massive damage. It's like in all films and series. If we forget all that, Destiny is impressive. You just have to think about how long the ship has been on the move. The AI always steers the ship to where the necessary resources are...I just wonder how the ship was able to fly for so long without a crew to recover these resources. But it's not just Destiny, but also the vanguard ships that search for suitable planets and place stargates.
I enjoy the series, it's a shame it was never continued, and I don't think about technical accuracy and plausibility. That's how you should do it, look, enjoy and forget the rest. If you think about it, you will hardly find a film or series in which everything is right.
Sgu sucked compared to other stargates that why it got cancelled. It was like watching paint grow or Russian empire dying
Like how tell ppl how to watch tv. Sgu sucks. It was slow and boring. The script weak as fuck full of crying women
Thanks bro
😁
@@UtopianBroadcast1can you do regal academy vs Star Wars galactic empire
well for a more even comparison you would have to look at the ship each race had at the time, so what was everyone packing 50million years ago. At its time I am sure it was the biggest baddest ship out there being that the ancients would want their ship even automated to be able to handle any and every threat it might encounter. This is like comparing the British Long bow to a modern sniper rifle. sure they both shoot things at "long range" but, one is obviously more advanced. Unless its the same time frame it going to be an comparing apples to orangutans type of scenario.
3:46 Talking about drones but showing the horizon nukes? for real?
I hope a streamer picks up SGU for a continuation.
amazon own MGM now and all star gate rights.. so we can only hope for a MOVIE at least to finish the show. as we know all the actors are still on board they said
Would be cool if Atlantis went to upgrade it.
Most tech very much in line gould tech with couple of exceptions like propulsion systems and using stars power the ships. It was no where near asgard level tech.
as asgard tech pretty much alot closer to latest ancients tech with exception some areas.
Destiny is so old that she tends to be very cranky and temperamental.
🤣
50 million years is quite a long time to be without a crew.
so, I think the Knox are ascended like the ancients but have crossed back into our reality to live once again retaining the power they had received from doing that like we have seen many times threw out Atlantis and sg1 series they just choose to stay to themselves and not get involved in the wars afterwards cuz the consequences to them idk just a thought
How Powerful IS the destiny?... IS.... she is still out there. waiting for someone to tell the tale.
That day it launched it was insanley powerful. 50 million years ago. The Engines are a joke but the armaments and shields along with armor was clearly superior and still deadly. Which seems crazy given it's age
How powerful were the shields with a full tank?
The Odessey could catch up to it.
Even with it's age I think you underestimate destiny's main weapon it would most definitely destroy a hive and maybe an ori ship depending on how many shots it got off
apples and oranges are both fruits
i think the destiny is less powerfull then many think compare to other Ships from stargate. Destinys Shields do not block Matter of a Star. they only "Deflect" the temprature radiated from the star. which puts alot of less strain on the shields. a great feat on its own but still, Asgard Shields Powered by ZPM Deflected a CME with only Minor Damage to the Ship.. the ship is old and made for a Differnt Purpose then the other ships we see in the shows. i think the Asgard beam weapons and the Ori beam weapons are both to much for the ship to handle even at 100%.
It's so beautiful TESLA USES IT
wish they carried the series on still annoys me it didnt get an ending
they are still on their way there
Can't tell how powerful it is without a full tank.
Lmao, the Destiny is a lot more powerful than what you showed in this video. By the end of the series, only 10% of the ship was actually explored, and you forgot to include the 2 seed ships and the 2 shuttles designed to dock with Destiny and give it more power. I'm pretty sure that Destiny also had a hanger bay for smaller crafts like the puddle jumpers. As a wraith hive mothership, it would actually lose a battle against a Destiny with full operational systems. While yes, it was designed as an exploration ship, it was also designed as a combat ship. All of the ancient ships were designed with 2 configurations first as both exploration and combat and second as a dedicated science/combat ship.
Have the NOX any Ships ?
Strangely Destiny was more powerful than the newer ancient city of Atlantis against Solar Flares. Atlantis couldn't systain the shield against a CME when the shield was extended out to 20km on just one ZPM. But Daedalus could barely hold the back the CME with the ZPM. The Destiny doesn't even have a ZPM. It's powered only by Fusion (star material) Why is it so powerful and doesn't have a problem with with flying through stars?
Well it was specifically designed to do that
@@tvorogmoloko7969 then why not 'specifically ' design Atlantis to survive on the surface of a star using g the same efficient and limitless power source as a ship 40 million years in the past against an enemy with limitless numbers?
@@saquist they probably did not expect that they will get into such a awkward situation, were too self-confident. Also, by that time they were already weakened by different things
@@tvorogmoloko7969 so a race with interactive AI couldn't look back in their database for technology they already had to defeat the wraith. That's believable for you?
@@saquist ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I wasnt diggint the show even tho i love SG1 and Atlantis. Im like again they go to a delapitaded advanced tech to grow the show with. SEEN IT!
And the show was far to dark. If i wanted darkness and depression i have my life thank you.
Why was the DESTINY ALWAYS RUNNING ON EMPTY EVEN AFTER REFUELING THE PREVIOUS EPISODE?.???..
Battery degradation life over time I assume. And running life support might taxing it more than when it had no crew miss managing all it's settings 😅
Kinda looks like a Cardassian ship design
In its heyday it was probably state of the art. Even as an explorer, I cannot see the ship not being launched without the latest in Ancient tech. However, 30+ million years is a long time. I think at its healthiest it could take on a Wraith Hive ship as long as it knew it was coming, but now I don't think its a mach for most the regular species in the Stargate pantheon. In fact, it seems to have problems with most of the species it comes across and none of them seem to be on the level for even the early season G'ould forces. Honestly, I think that, even before the SGC came across the ship it was doomed to never complete its mission. By the end of SGU, and this is how it plays out in my head cannon, the ship simply never makes it and fails. The ship simply had too much damage and was simply not efficient enough to make that last jump.
If Eli can't get into a pod, and all they have is Rush, then they're really in for a disaster in the next galaxy.
I could see the next season starting by revealing Rush had secretly programmed his stasis pod to awaken him at a certain point, if Eli still hadn't cracked the problem.
Rush loved secretly programming things afrer all, and his character arc sure looked like it was getting toward a healthier emotional state.
So, Rush comes out, maybe even a little aged because of ship damage, and now rested, helps Eli put a fresh pair of eyes on the problem.
The two, in the abyss between galaxies, have some time and some privacy to really, really come to terms over a couple things, and then something intriguing ends episode one of season three.
@joshuakarr-BibleMan That's just what they want you to think it would happen. But if they were to restart the show, and depending on their ability to get people back, it would probably be how it would go.
I had problems not understand why the crew did not repair more of the destiny
Limited resources, lack of fabrication equipment, and limited skilled manpower. While we see some repairs made it isn't specified how they get the materials to repair the ship. One such repair is when the damaged shuttle is patched over with a metal plate. Presumably a panel stripped off something unimportant. The crew was abandoning Icarus and assuming they were going to Earth, starship materials were not on the "grab this" list. It did puzzle me how they had so much of some of the things they did.
We see one repair bot on Destiny. It's utilized to make some repairs but knowing how it gets materials (cannibalizing from other systems, some kind of matter conversion, or some other method) is unknown.
Only had enough power for 2 seasons
I did find it interesting that once the Tauri got all the tech they lost some their pluckiness and started relying more on tech than brains. And then it was the tech inferior Lucian gangsters who got to be clever.
How powerful Destiny was? That is a viewpoint depending on how powerful someone else is. From a Human perspective quite powerful of course, we did not have anything close to that. But compared to the Ancients if they had evolved and continue to build ships over that milion years. Its quite an old and weak asset. So it's a matter of perspective.
♾️ strength
I dont think the ship is as powerfull as the asgard ships.. maybe the sheilds yes.. but the weapons are pretty lacking on the destiny, we do know destinys weapons though are at half strength due to being shown one of those power devices the alternate rush was trying to get when he accidentially killed colonel Talverd. The Earth vessels later on use Phaser type energy weapons, but the early earth vessels dont, so i think the destiny is probably in between the earth vessels and asgard, but deffinetly way more powerfull than the go'auld. Another issue though of course is age, things age and wear out and destiny is worn out.. The think MAIN issue though is power Even at full power destiny really lacks , routinly even when at full power 40% or probably more i think they managed to increase its power reserves later on.. We constantly see destiny running out of power ALL the time, after just 1 battle..
Do we have Wraih in the Andromeda Galaxy? Dumpass xD
Oof you said a few wrong things here. first you said that destiny was built like 15 million years ago. I am pretty sure the destiny was built around earth something like 50-60 million years ago. Atlantis was built already something like 15 million years ago or close to it at that point. Also you said the Ancients could no longer travel to destiny because they ascended. they can go pretty much wherever they want at that point but it doesn't hold any interest to them anymore. Basically, things like atlantis and destiny are so far beneath them they just dont give a crap anymore.
Also you said that Tauri Tech is mostly Asgard tech. again, this is false. The Tauri had their own tech but ships were later retrofitted with Asgard tech like shields, sensors, beaming and hyperdrives then weapons. Daedalus still relied upon missiles and those wannabe rail guns if you even want to call those pile of shits a railgun. however, Prometheus didn't have any Asgard tech initially.
I would put destinys tech somewhere between Asgard and Gould tech. however that doesn't make a lot of sense to say. The Ancients designed their own tech and they focused on things like shields, sensors and FTL/hyperdrives. They didn't care that much about weapons. The Asgard cared more about weapons because they considered themselves noble warriors. The Gould also cared about weapons and shields but all their stuff is just reverse-engineered Ancient tech so they don't exactly design new stuff. The Asgard are really the only ones on the list other than the Tauri that design and innovate their own tech.
So tech is cool and all and means a lot but it really needs a lot of context. Take our carnival cruise liners which are vastly superior in tech to say a 3 masted warship from 1880 but that 3 masted warship could probably destroy that carnival cruise liner. You did touch on that a bit with what the purpose of Destiny is. it isn't designed to be a warship, so other than the stuff listed pretty good video.
I think it's as powerful as the general Hammond with a zpm
Always not working
Wasn't the Destiny's engines actually magnatudes more powerful than other races? Since others (including asgard) use subspace (or whatever they want to call it) instead of just PURE BRUTE SPEED such as the Destiny?
Only had power for 1 season
This was probably the best Stargate show.... and it was canceled way too soon.
Your joking right sgu sucked it was so boring. Uninspired crap. All I saw bunch emotional teenagers and Asian women that cried about her aborted baby. Instead of people uhhh using the stargate to explore. Sg 1 was the bests . Sgu was bsg rip off not a great one with its slow pacing
@notmyself2533 ah you must be one who sees the expendables and thinks its Oscar worthy.
@@SmkAslt your one of those people think action scenes bad
@@SmkAslt you think grass on a hill Oscar worthy. All forms media must be slow and full of marry sues. I guess you liked the new Star Wars movies. Your right let’s minus actions scenes shorten. Matter in fact let’s minus all of it because it’s shit media. Like sgu. The idea everything needs to be like bsg slow and boring full of pointless romance scenes that not even interesting. Go watch day time general hospital. I heard they got it down better.
@notmyself2533 nah action sceens are great. But media doesn't NEED action to be good.
I get it tho man. Not everyone has the attention span or iq for anything other than expendables level of film. And hey more power to you. I love that shit too. But I'm not going to pretend movies like that are GOOD.
Its been a while since ive been in the SG1 universe. I always thought it was a MIC wet dream for the asgard to just give out their tech to the huMONs. Like for real, Raytheon would be salavating at the prospect of just one piece of tech let alone all of it. And really? That could never be good for a society jesus. Just a blank check for tech. With no wisdom to back it up w/. Yikes!
Goa'uld
The message was "42".
It's not real!
This spin-off was such a terrible disappointment. Great actors, special effects, the very idea of that ancient ship! WOW! But it failed for one inescapable reason - They broke with the very heart of the ideal that the original series was built upon. The team is supposed to be competent and working together. Putting them at odds, murderously so, just wasn't Stargate to me. They don't always have to have all the answers but having main characters on the team out to get each other just broke the thing.
too much blah blah, that's unfortunately true, it takes away the tension
Kind of a ridiculous design.
Not powerful enough to carry more than 2 seasons apparently... 😉 😁
I often ponder on the fate of destiny, Robert Carlisle was class in this
