[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] Nah, that sketch looks pretty standard Milky-Way gate-ish to me, even to the constellation symbols on the lower corner. The kawoosh thing is pretty standard on all stargates regardless of origin (the homemade one in Carter's basement made the same thing), so it stands to reason that the kawoosh is a byproduct of any wormhole being formed rather than something the gate itself does. The PDAs have been shown to be active even when the Destiny leaves a given galaxy, so it's not like they were to be meant to be used only when the ship was around. Moreover, it's important to note that the gate is self-powered, or at least has its power systems in the stone base they find themselves anchored to. Other gates we've seen are apparently powered by the DHD they're tied to, or by the space-based staion-keeping devices they're mated to in the Pegasus galaxy, or are otehrwise remotely powered. Here, the PDAs don't seem to do anything except manage the dialling and destination process, so it would follow that people could figure out how to activate the gates via PDA by reverse-engineering it. I don't think they can dial a gate simply by turning the ring, though. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
