Destiny

I once wanted a game for Stargate Universe, that would work very similar to have the TV show set everything out, basically the game would mostly play in first-person or third-person, except when using the ship's Mainframe display, which would Show the ship similar to have this shows up within certain damaged areas and unlocking those areas and fixing them to improve the ships capabilities.

In that show they have the unique opportunity to use Stargates, as one of them was on board the destiny already, and every single planet within its predetermined path.

And as the crew of this ship, it was your responsibility to stay alive, the ship would provide information of what the ship needed in order to sustain the life that was on board it, it would drop out of FTL and dialogue nearby planet where on this planet there were resources that we're needed on board the ship, the ship would create a timer two when the FTL Drive was ready to jump again, and because it was an automated ship at this point, you had to get your resources back in time before the ship jumps into FTL, when you get back using the gate on that planet, you can then take your resources that you collected on that planet and put them to work on board the ship where are the systems needed it.

Throughout your time on board this ship, you are to unlock secrets about the ship and its mission, keep the ship in good repair as much as possible, because the ship will frequently get attacked by other ships and it has been for millions of years as it was automated, but the ship is near its last leg, so it's up to the human crew to fix up this ship the best I can so that they could be ready for another attack, the ship will automatically turn on its Shields when it's about to be attacked by another ship, and it will turn on its defenses.

As the crew you'll run into these events by a certain chance Gap, whether it be on board the Destiny or offworld on some other planet that you're getting the resources on, as commander of the ship you are tasked to make sure the ship works like a well-oiled machine, which means you need to order the crew to do certain things on board the ship at all times.

You will need somebody who can become an expert at Hydroponics to make sure there is plenty of medicine and food on board the ship for the crew, you'll need somebody that is willing to learn the ancient language and decipher certain aspects of the ship to see if they can unlock them, to uncover the mysteries of the ship, you will need somebody who is a doctor and make sure they have the provisions they need in order to take care of people on board the ship, you will need your guards to rotate their shifts just in case something happens while the commander is sleeping.

Basically how the game would work, is most of the planets will be procedurally generated, except for maybe the resources that you need on them, the ship battles will be procedurally-generated based off of level and experience and capability of the crew and a chance gap, every time you and your team gate to a planet it should be at least four people of at least two soldiers one scientist and one Tech person in case something goes wrong at the gate, the Planet will also have procedurally-generated events such as the team possibly being attacked by an alien or an animal on the planet while they search for resources, maybe even use the animal as food for the crew or maybe find medicinal aspects off of the animal for the doctor to use.

If the crew needs help or information, they could either contact somebody via the communication stones, or use the ancient repository chair and unlocked the knowledge using that.

This type of game will never be made, but one could hope.

Was this on purpose or is it just a coincidence that Tesla's symbol almost mirrors the destiny's design?

Now I understand that the design that destiny takes on a similar look to the Chevron's on the stargate which is where the design of the Destiny comes from.

Now I don't no how long Tesla has had this symbol, but I find this interesting because Tesla right now is known for their solar panel systems as well as a few other things, and the destiny is known for being a solar powered ship, now of course in the show it's very different type of solar as in what it extracts power from the sun or Stars and that power is scooped up close to the Corona of the sun which is the way the destiny works.

And I just found it interesting that the ship looks exactly like the Tesla symbol and almost near identical shape to the destiny as well as how the ship operates using a type of solar power.

Was this by mistake or is it just a coincidence that the ship mirrors the exact look of the symbol for tesla?

Do you think that possibly Elon musk liked the idea of the destiny and wanted to possibly mirror that symbol within his design for his company?

I didn't do a whole lot of research on this, I just found a similar design and I wondered why it's so closely resembled the destiny as well as the Chevron on the stargates.

So as you may have seen in the show, 9 chevron dialing has quite a few differences to standard 7 chevron or 8 chevron dialing. I spent a bit of time thinking about these differences, and decided to share my take on them.

- Everything becoming "projectiles" upon exiting a wormhole:

As you may have noticed, in SGU: Air, Part 1, people are thrown out of the Stargate at a higher velocity to that which they entered in at. This is also mentioned in Twin Destinies, where Telford states that "Everything we carry with us becomes a projectile in a nine-chevron transit".

I believe this may be due to some sort of "bodge" the Ancients implemented, rather than programming a permanent, safer solution.. Since the Stargate de-materialises the travelers, converting them to energy during the transfer through the wormhole. Therefore, the inertial properties of objects or people transferred would also be sent as data to the receiving Stargate. Given that a 9 chevron address will lead to a Stargate of an unspecified distance away (most likely a much further distance than 7 or 8 chevron addresses) the velocity properties of objects is purposefully disregarded, possibly in order to reduce potential interference to the matter stream during transfer, or to allow for the matter itself to be boosted in order to reach the destination. When a traveler arrives through a Stargate, the Stargate, having no idea what velocity the object or person should have, forcefully ejects them from the event horizon, in order to ensure that they leave the gate. Evidence of Stargates behaving this way was seen in SG1: Red Sky, where SG-1 was thrown out of the gate after certain protocols in the dialing sequence had been overridden. Possibly, the matter stream was interfered with during transit, causing the velocities of those arriving to be lost.

- Radio signals are unable to travel through a 9th chevron wormhole:

In Air, Part 1, Scott tries to radio through the wormhole to tell people to "slow down", as they are proceeding through the gate too fast. However, his message does not reach the other side. In Twin Destinies, Telford mentions "it seems that a radio signal does not reach across a nine-chevron connection."

My theory on this is similar to that on objects becoming projectiles in 9th chevron transit. Radio signals are purposefully blocked from being bi-directional in order to minimize potential interference with the matter stream.

- Wormhole is still able to connect, regardless of whether or not the receiving Stargate is in a state of motion when a connection is attempted to be established:

Twice, when Destiny is dialed with a 9 chevron address, the ship is in a state of motion, specifically FTL. Destiny has been shown to receive this connection, and drop out of FTL, presumably to make a stable connection. This is unable to occur when a standard 7 chevron address is used to try and connect to Destiny.

I believe that, because 9 chevron addresses have no relation to the Stargate's physical position in space, a different protocol is used for locking onto the other Stargate, presumably using the benefits of the non-relative 9 chevron address to achieve a connection regardless of whether or not the Stargate receiving is currently in motion.

my idea uses procedural generation on the destiny for the most part when it comes to the space as well with what the planets looked like, but the basic idea is to use destiny like it was used in the show including exploration and experimentation,

It's an fixer up kind of situation with small scripted events to make things a little more interesting such as the events that happened when the ship was attacked or the ship recharged in an star, and just like in the show, when the crew were unable to use the defenses or know how to navigate the destiny as it was automatic.no drama between the crew that the show had, just straight up with the problem solving of situational issues onboard the destiny.

i actually liked the base premise of the show from the perspective of traversing the stars and exploring the universe and when something on the ship was in need of fixing, the ship's automatic computer would accommodate what the crew needed and would set a course for planets that had the materials needed and automatically dial the gate when you prepare a team to the planet with all the needed gear kino, armor, guns ammo, and the ship would set a time limit to gate back before the ship jumps into FTL back on it's journey while you fix the problems with the ship, you coordinate with your crew on what's needed,

such as medical supplies or to another part of the ship where you fix the areas of the ship that were damaged to repurpose them into something else like a gardening area so you can grow your own food onboard the ship to feed the crew.

communicate with your crew who specialize in science, tech, chemistry, invention, to learn from the ship as you explore the destiny, unlocking more areas to gain more control of the ship as well as discover new unknown secrets of the destiny and the history of it's journey and perhaps a little more about the history of the alteran.

i'm pretty much talking about an task management type of game where the player get's to play a part in all aspects of tasks and duties to manage the ship as well as being able to build from the damaged parts of the ship that needs work to gain access to more areas and build it into an well functioning machine like the destiny was new again.

Some previous fixed areas on the ship can become damaged again due to battles as well as other things going wrong, requiring the player to manage the crew to fix the area up again so it's in working order as well as reinforcing areas to be capable to handle more stress in battle,

For the most part you and your crew are onboard constantly maintaining the core functionality of the ship as some situations can prove to be hard to manage and keep in good repair when the procedural events take place.

The goal is to keep the ship in good repair at all times and survive the journey. The ship can be boarded by an enemy if you don't maintain the ships functionality in an constant manner,

rescue missions could also exist provided the crew learn how to use and fix the shuttles as well as the defenses on the ship. there are a few ways to complete a task with it's challenges that keep you moving as there is always something that can be improved on.

You can make allies and enemies of other races but it's up to the player in how you run your ship and how hard you want the game to be for your playstyle.

I don"t know why scyfy ended stargate universe like they did. I see a possible reason why they did, though.Ending it with Eli the last one gives scyfy an opportunity to pick the series back up after the three year FTL jump. I just finally got to get to where they cut it off and I believe the story could be finished or expanded on after the conclusion of destinies trip. Spin-off after spin off could come at the relief of every scyfy/science-fiction/fantasy fan future and past. The journey that stargate escorts you on is one of wonder and amazement. For this reason scyfy should bring DESTINY back with new characters and a once tie in episode with the original crew being rescued by home command. Sounds like a good plan to me.
