Yeah, but wait...There are rings ahead of them. That means either:
- The ship has reached it's "destination", in the galaxy where the ring builder ships were programming to start building rings, in which case, you would expect the ancients to have built the ship to survive at least long enough to get to its planned destination in good shape, OR
- the ring builder ships have been building rings in all the galaxies along the way, in which case, you would expect the ancients should just have programmed the ring builder ships to build galaxy rings, and then jumped directly to the galaxies, rather than jumping to the ship. They would have hopped from one galaxy to the next to catch up to the ring building ships, kind of like the inter-galaxy ring bridge in SG:A.
Or, the ship was in a battle, which was suggested in the show at one point.
And what about the CO2 scrubbers? Why would the ship have had any atmosphere at all in transit? It would make much more sense to fill the ship with atmosphere just before the ancients jumped to it, not to have been maintaining atmosphere for 1000s of years for no reason. I mean, they didn't have the lights on that whole time, we saw the ship turning them on because of the incoming worm hole, wouldn't the air work the same way?
