That being said, the power reqs argument is pretty solid | |

| Aug 22, 2019 at 1:48 | comment | added | John LA | Maybe Destiny stopped or circled at the distance of dialing limit of that eras Ancients. The show never gives the exact formula but says that it takes more and more power to dial greater distances. Therefore the only way a "hard coded" 9 symbol address could work is if the distance was known ahead of time. | |

| Oct 18, 2015 at 18:50 | comment | added | jandurek | I think Seed ships were sent earlier or/and are faster than Destiny (which is possible given their smaller size and larger energy storage) because of the system of plotting the FTL course. Destiny has to know the space around not to hit anything. Or at least that was implied in the show. But I can see a problem in that theory: how does a Seed ship, which doesn't have any knowledge of the space in front of it, know the course to fly while not hitting anything and at the same time maintaining '4 hours in FLT' rule? | |
