Destiny Breakdown Stargate Universe 

Good info.. but might be best to record the audio in segments to make sure you can re-record when you make a mistake..

I loved the whole concept of Stargate Universe and the idea of a group of people stranded on an intergalactic traveling starship, trying to figure out how to first control the ship, effect repairs on failed systems due to its age, find food and supplies to survive using the limited range stargate, and how to make the most of their precarious situation, and where Destiny is ultimately taking them.

The one thing that pissed me off the most about this show is the lack of exploring they did in the ship, like if they just searched the ship i bet they would have found the freaking maintenance and storage bays for the ship spare parts food and life support material's have to be stacked somewhere on that ship

My theory on Destiny: its FTL method is NOT the first form of FTL. The Ancients always knew about and used hyperspace. Moreover, if it was the first form of FTL, Logic dictates that other races would also develop it before hyperdrive also, but we never saw this. The only other ones to use it were the Fish heads in SGU. However, the builders knew that Destiny would have no crew/skeleton crews, so they needed an FTL method that was less maintenance and energy intensive, and They ended up with Destiny’s FTL, a more dependable, albeit slower form of of FTL. Remember, it’s still faster than primitive forms of hyperdrive. Goauld Htak were only capable of 10c in season 1 of SG1. All systems on the ship were designed to feed from plasma taken from stars, the only Surefire way to keep the ship going across the universe, as stars are definitely all over the universe. Destiny wasn’t designed with speed and efficiency in mind, rather longevity.

Being the SG dork I am, I already knew all of this. But I’m still giving you a like a subscribe for your accurate knowledge and enthusiasm. Well done, mate.

Second video I've watched of yours, enjoying the Stargate content. Keep up the amazing work. :D

For someone so evidently just starting here in YT I must admit I'm quite impressed in the quality of your videos. A couple of notes, . Don't be quite so hurried to plow through the script, take your time and try to read ahead and be clear so you stumble a little less. . Don't be afraid to re-record/edit mistakes in your vocal/cam recording, no one will worry about that, it's expected and will look more professional in the end especially as you gain more confidence. . Finally Spell check your on-screen text your Daedalus class video spelled Odyssey as Oddyessy every time it was on screen and was quite distracting. Other than that this is looking like a good little show you are making and keep up the good work, Your subs are already climbing at a respectful rate and I was referred by an end-video algorithm recommendation so your channel is being picked by the algorithm to grow which is good for a channel so small. I Hope you will be able to monetize in the not too distant future. Good luck and I'll be watching. :)

I love the Destiny, its one of my favourite ship from Sci-Fi. I've 3D Printed her so many time :)

Found this video randomly and it was well informed. As i gone i to your past videos, you made a great choice in dropping the "explained" bs since its a scourge in the RU-vid realm. As long as you dont use that word anymore, I'll remain subbed. Keep up the hard work, amd well done.

The CMBR message is sorry for the inconvenience

the ship was doing just fine for millions of years and then the earthlings showed up.

I have to butt in here. Ancient shields overall are orange. Just look at the Aurora battleships. The colour, by no means, determines the strenght of shield systems in Stargate. It provides a visual distinction. No hate intended obviously. Keep up the good work. We definitely need more Stargate material here

Ah, a new channel. Good luck with it and keep making fun videos.

This was my favorite Stargate series, RIGHT next to SG1. Damn shame it was axed too soon.

I hate to shotgun your math, but 10 to 50 times the speed of light doesn’t work…. It has to be much faster. Destiny crossed two galaxies with multiple stops in the show’s two seasons, each presumably in less than a year. Using the milky way as a base line of 100,000 light years across and the math is clear. never mind jumping the void between galaxies in a reasonable timeframe measured in a couple of years or less. My guess, destiny probably could travel a minimum of 250,000 times the speed of light or likely even faster.

Technically the shipped launch with a skeleton crew eventually that crew left the ship when back home with the gate hopping. Recall reading this on the net.

Great video

It was interesting to hear the mention about the 4-hour minimum running time, for Destiny’s FTL drive - I don’t remember this getting a mention, in the series. I recall in the SGU episode “Lost”, the FTL drive shuts down on its own, because one of its component drives was damaged. But I don’t remember if this was a premature shut-down, or if the Destiny really did travel for more than 4 hours away from the Ruins planet, where at least three characters had been left stranded.

I was thinking that the Destiny should be longer, up to 1-1.5 kilometers, but somewhere else i found 750 meters and i was prety confused. Now i know it was close to 750 meters. I wanted to try to write a Stargate HALO crossover fanfiction and these informations are helping me. Thank you. Also are you planing to do breakdown for Aurora and Atlantis? It would help me and i think it would be also interesting.

Congrats, amazing to see this Channel grow so fast just two month after you talked about maybe doing a second channel.

Always seemed like a huge amount of ship internal volume for the amount of rooms we got to see. Everything on the show seemed to take place within the top pyramid of the ship. Perhaps the bulk of the ship was energy storage of some sort?

One thing I never liked was that everyone forgot was the Earth-symbol was actually not the Earth symbol. The dotted triangle was the SECOND symbol used for Earth. Earth's original symbol was an underscored circle. So in Destiny, which was millions of years before Ra deployed to Earth the Giza gate, the "Earth-symbol" must have had a different meaning. I presume it means "Avalon".

Excellent video - thanks

What always bothered me about the show is the ship had massive amount of supplies yet only toward the end of the show did they even start opening the crates that were everywhere. The ship was well supplied with everything the ancient crew would have needed to keep it in working order, I bet it would have had long term food storage to. They Ancient would have know and prepared for it. The syfy just canceling it where Eli dies was bs too. This show was awesome I miss this kind of story telling.

The shields was specifically designed to do FTL travel without actually going into hyper space (it was for the science reasons for the whole reason why they launched destiny so they could record the background noise) if they used hyperdrive they wouldn’t of been able to collect the science , the shield also had a heat shield so it could refuel using sun with no radiation or heat damage at all

i think if it has 3 shuttle pads the anchents would only place 2 shuttles, as the 3rd would be for some other shuttle , you couldn't use a gate to get on and off the ship, so i think pad 3 was a intencanaly left empty

Your video about the Destiny is great with a lot good infor. Hope one day you can use the dimensions of the BC-304 class from your past video for the Wraith Cruiser and Hiveship in future videos.

SGU was so good. So glad they used the same filming style as BSG. Mostly because the same people were involved.

Stargste universe was for me the best star gate series...why did they axe it never understood there dissision great cast great story utter madness .

Interesting , Thank You

It never made sense that they didn't find an actual ancient armory on board. The ancients knew the threats that looked in space, they had dealt with other alien species, some hostile guaranteed, so it makes no sense that they wouldn't have a fully stocked armory on the ship. They planned for everything else essentially, why not that?...

In some parallel universe SGU had its full story told, I'm sad i'm not in that universe

much better grey, less robotic and more human on your delivery :D 10/10

I hope your channel grows fast. You're gonna want to start editing these a little to cut the misspoken parts.

bro i love it

This show could have done so much more if they gave it a chance. Such a travesty they shut it down after 2 seasons. 😞

Stargate: Universe needs to complete the story. I'd like a book or series of books. Without it, I won't watch any new BS "stargate" shows. They did the fans dirty the way they ended SGU

Sci-fi Nerd, one point, though perhaps it's understandable. Your Stargate at the beginning was an Avalon gate, but it only had seven active chevrons. Since this is SGU, I think nine chevrons should be lit, regardless of whether an Avalon or Destiny-class Stargate is used. Okay! Well-played! The first gate had seven, but your viewing gate had nine.

Nice video.

I don't think this was the first FTL form of the Ancients, since they were already able to travel between galaxies millions of years before they arrived on Earth. Even in the civil war against the Ori. I always thought that the travel form of the Destiny was developed more because of its mission, so that the ship could travel in normal space and collect pieces of cosmic background radiation. And the shield color is the same as the Aurora class. Even the type is the same because the other shieds surround the ship like a bubble while on the Ancient/Lantian ships it bends over the ships more like an upper layer. Except Atlantis. It has bluish bubble shield.

This is the first time I have come across your channel and liked this video. I love sci-fi and find this stuff really interesting. For me, the videos that do little but geekishly spout numbers like 17 x 3 gigaquad lasers and a 30 terrahertz shield grid are very boring. It's important to have a sense of scale but what's important is who built something and why. There is so much personality and stories to objects like the Destiny. Great video.

I own all of the SG media. That said while I liked SGU it was not the best. It felt like they where trying to make it too much like Battle Star Galactica with over the top in ship Drama. That is not the model that was used for any of the other Star Gate shows. They did not do enough world building it was too focused on the people on the ship to the point that it felt like a Cheap Reality Show or a 1980's Soap Opera for women! Battle Star Galacitica the reboot not the origanal was too much of that for me as well. It started off great but quickly lost me because I am not that type of guy.

Such a GREAT show !!! Like Firefly

still mad we didn't get a season 3

why didn't the AI have the crew repair the ship and replace the shuttle

If Destiny launched without a crew, why were the oxygen scrubbers used up?

It broke down quite a bit...

How many decks?

They devoted the resources of an entire generation to the DESTRUCTION of the destiny? I even turned on subtitles and listened to this 3 times. For this and a bunch of other reasons I'm out.

So whats your OnlyFans?

You lost me at the intro

Your metric measurements mean nothing to me.
