Talk:Hub

Purpose
I think these are power hubs used to control certain systems of the ship. As you recall, in previous episodes, we see that the weapons system and the shields are powered by similar hubs, albeit they're each different colors. My guess is that these hubs are the predecessors to Control Crystals. In fact, I don't think Destiny even uses any Control Crystals at all. The fact that it uses a pressure guage means that Destiny is EXTREMELY old and outdated. Most of our latest technology today doesn't even use physical guages anymore. Everything is pretty much digital now. New planes and other stuff like that measure readings and display them on a screen or a digital guage. I'm guessing when Destiny was built, the Ancients' technology was somewhere around that of what you'd imagine a 22nd century Earth would be like. If Destiny really doesn't use control crystals at all, then the level of technology contained on Destiny is probably close to that of The Travelers. Even Gould technology uses control crystals.
