[QUOTE]Originally posted by Reverend: [QB] ^ I don't think the ancients (or Alterans if you like) started worrying about cultural contamination or developmental interference until [i]after[/i] they ascended. Hell, if they were then none of the shows would even exist. The entire Goa'uld dominion was a direct result of their carelessness in leaving they stuffy lying around for anyone to find, even the Asgard said they owned a lot of their advancements to cracking into one of those head-grabby archive thingies. [QUOTE]Originally posted by Aban Rune: [qb] Good point. The Destiny gates don't really feel very... Naquadah-y (yes, that's the word I was looking for). The sound they make when they spin is more metallic than stone. I realize they're embedded in those iron ramps (which the seeder ships must also construct) but still... they just seem to be more primitive. [/qb][/QUOTE]I'm pretty sure they are, at least to some extent. Naquadah is just an element that emits and amplifies power after all. It doesn't seam unreasonable to presume that the earlier gates were less efficient. After all they had [i]millions[/i] of years to refine and perfect these things so even if most of the materials and basic principles are the same there can still be a significant gulf in capabilities between the 1.0 gates and the later models. It's like comparing a car's engine circa 1940 with a modern (non-hybrid) one. The basic principle is the same and it's mostly made of the same material, but the mechanics and processes are a lot more refined. Plus I think Eli mentioned "the mineral the gates are made of" being capable of blowing a chunk out of a planet when Scott used C4 to dig one out in the last episode. [/QB][/QUOTE]
