From the original article, it seems they want multiple bad guys rather then one big bad guy so that gives the opportunity of the enemies keeping eachother occupied while the latest Earth expedition attempts to prevent them from finding Earth. Anyway, I think its highly likely we will be seeing Humans out there somehow.
Stargate Universe SPOILERS!!
- Thread starter Snick27
- Start date
Both.
We will send humans to the ship, the humans will be from whenever the show starts. However because the ship is so far away it will be like traveling through time to get there.
To me it sounds like they are going to do Atlantis on a regular sized ship instead of a city ship.
Yes, technically when you go to the moon you travel through time to because time is screwed up by gravity.
But yeah, I don't know where they want to go with this new show. I still believe Sc-fi doesn't really want it and the creators make it seem that they love it, but will "cost too much". In the end it will be made because Sci-fi has nothing else to show.
Seemed pretty straight forward to me... they are going to be modern day Humans that will somehow find out the coordinates to a vessel sent by the Ancients a long time ago on a mission of exploration that involved seeding gates in other older regions of the universe. Storyline is simply the same reason they wanted to find Atlantis in that its another legacy of the Ancients that might yield the mysteries of the universe to Earth. Presumably, they second ship to which this new expedition gates to while following the wake of the first ship.
So basically, Stargate Atlantis 2, on a ship.
As though we haven't seen enough of the Ancients, and haven't had ships take over from the gate network already these last few years.
Perhaps they're trying to replicate the success of Star Trek. TNG/SG-1 = action, multiple locations. DS9/Atlantis = set on far away station. VGR/Universe = set on a ship a long way away.
SGU still sounds dull, predictable and samey to me.

It's odd that you mention Voyager because this seems like much the same deal here - not the premise, i mean the potentially excellent concept which could also be done very very badly. Voyager chose this path, I can only hope that Universe doesn't.
I can't see this as its own series. I think it would get old real quick.
But I do think it could make a pretty kickass arc on Atlantis.
One reason I love SG-1 is that they spend a lot of time searching for clues and information about the history of the Stargates. They make connections between different Goa'ulds or between Merlin and the Ori. They LOOK for things, and it makes the whole experience that much richer.
On Atlantis they look for ZPMs. And even when they find ZPMs, they get depleted in the next episode. Discovering this ship in the Atlantis database could lead to a neat little arc that could make the Atlantis experience that much grander.
Ya know, instead of fighting Replicators every other week.

Presumably thats the benefit of the 9th Chevron, that it connects to a select number of Stargates regardless of where they are as long as you have the power to connect to them and know the coordinates while normal gates can only be gated if their coordinates are fixed and in the same galaxy.
This would mean though that the seeding ship and the exploration ship would have to have some completely new power source since Atlantis makes ZPMs to run out as quickly as common Earth batteries do. I mean to run for as long as they have been running without a loss of power or anything....

Maybe it's like the stargate, a giant super conductor able to absorb all kinds of energy.
"This hamster on a wheel will power up the chair platform now"
If these two ships pre-date Atlantis, and ZPM's were the new power source created for running the Cityships and their planet based stations like the one in Antarctica, then technically the ships in the new series pre-date the existence of the ZPM.
Putting them more inline with the date/level of the Tria. If so then these ships are probably running without the benefit of FTL Hyperdrive and doing the same close-to-the-speed-of-light trip, only with an older reactor assembly, or possibly with one of the first production models of ZPM, lower in energy and less stable.

I think you have a bit of stuff mixed up there.
We don't know how long ago ZPMs were created; not only did we find a dead one in Antarctica, but we also found one at Proclarush Taonas, which is the one we used. Also, the Tria was from the Lantean Era; it had a hyperdrive but it broke down, so they had to use sublight to inch their way back to Earth.

"They" not "We".
The outpost in Antarctica was the station on which Atlantis was built as seen in the Atlantis pilot, that weapons platform was more than likely the protection system for the construction area.
The outpost they travel to on Proclarush Taonas dates from the same time period as mentioned by Carter because of the representation of Earth the outpost brings up being 10 million years out of date.
Both those stations date from the same time as Atlantis was built, these ships (from Universe) pre-date all of that from what the producers have released so far.

It doesn't sound much like Voyager to me, on Star Trek Voyager the ship was taken to another part of the galaxy and they had to find a way to get home, here for one thing they can get home anytime they want to power permitting and they're trying to finish what the Ancients started.
