Prior piloting If an Ori ship is piloted via a control chair like Ancient tech is does that mean that priors have the Ancient gene meaning that O Neill or someone else with the gene could fly it or is it only pilotable by people with powers of a prior There are many genes to choose from and it is highly unlikely that the Ori chose the same one as or one directly compatible with the Alterans The priors are tampered with so much and they have telekinetic and other mental abilities and piloting probably requires a number of those powers
