If I remember correctly, the ship is reached through the 9th chevron, and the ship is basically an automated stargate network constructor; meaning it flies from one galaxy to the next and in each system it builds stargates on every/most of the planets in the galaxy
HYPOTHETICAL SPOILER ALERT
I remember thinking that this is an extreamly stupid use of the 9th chevron as you could accomplish the same effect with the 8th chevron.
I decided that the 8th chevron took them into the ship and the 9th took them to a specific time aboard the ship, basically the 9th chevron was for time travel, specifically time travel that won’t affect
causality.
Why I decided this
1) stargate travel CAN allow time travel given enough energy
2) The Ancients were very much against interfering with the nature of causality, but they did like being well informed about absolutely everything
3) the 9th chevron would take even more power then the 8th, a lot more, so why would it merely travel threw traditional 3-D space, when the 8th allows you to go between galaxies already?
I decided it made the most amount of sense if the ancients, who loved tech and knowledge, would not completely ignore time travel, but find a way to do while conforming to their ideals.

I think you’re reading too much into this. At least, you’re doing it too soon. The show will come and we’ll see the mechanics.
