Riddles of Flight

This is three riddles in one. Can you solve them, guardian? 1.) Ancient and weary, I have laid down to rest. How I rest does not show freedom but rather an imprisonment, chosen by time. My shell is riddled with those nasty bugs, rendering me functionless. But it's okay, because you have already replaced me. SOLVED-Answer: Functionless planes in the mothyards. 2.) Ready to fight? Then I may be here, moving about. No, I won't help you, nor would I provide much help any ways. I follow only one task, which has been the same from since the very beginning. You once also only had this task but then it changed. However, you may eventually have it alone again. Hint: I fly to and fro, here in this universe of happened, there in the universe of happening. Am I one of the big ones? No, but if you guess me right, it provides a answer to what they are, or might be. Hint 2: I am living. I fly free, those around me not deeming me to be a threat. Am I important? Well, I am a more positive life here, but otherwise I am just a detail. And, no, I am not from light, but only from life. That is what separates me from those "little lights". SOLVED- Answer: Dragonflies on Venus 3.) Our brothers and sisters are free, except for us. You may even have one of them, and use it beyond its true purpose. We tried to follow that purpose, dressed royally, but somehow we ended up here. We would like to be more, but for now we are just a detail. SOLVED- Answer: Purple+Yellow ships docked in the reef. Good luck, guardians, and feel free to join the Destiny Riddlers if you like making or solving riddles. Each riddle has to do with the title. 1 should be the easiest, and 3 the hardest, but that is for you to decide.
