Did anyone notice that the bubble water tanks in the hallways look similar to the ones in Atlantis? and so do the crystal consoles?
- Reusing props is cheap. No reason to make a whole new set when they can make decent use of the old stuff. 76.246.19.248 20:59, April 3, 2010 (UTC)
In My Mind
You know, in my mind, the ship seems like it could be more of a large cargo ship. I mean, it's really bulky and boxy, and, warships (even one in space) should have sort of a sleek look to them. Maybe the fact that it could be a cargo ship is why the weapons are so inefective. Oh, and if you're say, "A cargo ship wouldn't have fighters." Any ship, even a cargo ship would need protection, and the fighters would be a more effective way of handling smaller vessels than the main energy cannon.

The weapons are so inefective because the ship has taken so much damage. Space is not empty, The infinate number of dust in space has worn the ship down. Which is why most of the ship is Inaccessible due to decompression. This would also effect the power grid. The weapon and shield's energy problem is most likely a power transfer problem not a power problem. Also the ship was designed for exploration. The crates are just supplys.

Well, in space the resistance from particles is negligable, and shields protect against the potential damage, which may be why the ships shields have to be active on the Destiny in FTL. The weapons on the "mothership" are ineffective because the Blue aliens are attacking Destiny, a very large ancient ship, the most advanced race known, it may be very old, but it is after the Ancients resetled in their second galaxy(milky way), and dreamed up seeding ships, and thought to explre the universe at large, so the had been estableshed in the milky way. I imagine the only reason Destiny has taken so much damage from weaponsfire is that the Blue aliens had been preparing for the Destiny since the seeding ships had flown through. Study of the seeding ships led to their development of a very similar ftl system, and perhaps how to track it. The Destiny was expecting a freindly race, and may not have had shields and everything ready for the blue aliens, as well as allowing the blue aliens to get far closer, and likely have more ships around then just 2 motherships. Because after all the damage destiny has taken, 2 of their motherships hardly manage to get through the shields.74.129.66.59 08:30, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
- Ok, back on point. ships in space can afford to be bulky, they dont need to be sleek, the sleek thing is merely an asthetic thing for spaceships. They want something massive so they can support themselves on really long distance trips, they could now be chasing the destiny through many galaxies, we cant tell how many, they need huge ships with massive supplies, and likely food production facilities, where it is grown/recycled, and everything else you need to keep a large crew going while travelling from galaxy to galaxy.74.129.66.59 08:30, May 15, 2010 (UTC)
