One Sovereign class starship in orbit around modern Earth
While undergoing autopilot tests a fully operational but unmanned Sovereign dissappears into a time portal and arrives in low orbit around present day Earth. The Sovereign's internal security systems are shutdown and wont consider intruders as threats. Now what happens - what could we learn from this advanced 24th century starship ?
I have to tell you something everything I wrote above is a lie.
Nothing, The US and the Chinese send up a Salvo of ICBMs against it and turns it into an ring of dust and gas around of Earth.
KABOOM!!!
KABOOM!!!
HAIL ZOR! WE'LL BLOW UP THE OCEAN!

Re: One Sovereign class starship in orbit around modern Eart
Better question, what happens if one Sovereign class Starship appears around modern Earth....with the population of SD.net on board, the Mods having computer access privalges for primary systems and Wong having superuser privalges?
And say the holodecks were shut down so no holosex
What the hell would we do? COuld we even agree?

Ignoring the compete scientific stupidity in this, why would we launch a massive first strike against a ship from Star Trek appearing in orbit of our planet?Zor wrote:Nothing, The US and the Chinese send up a Salvo of ICBMs against it and turns it into an ring of dust and gas around of Earth.

I doubt it. We'd tear the ship apart sooner or later. And given enough time, the fighting's going to reach the warp core...Chris OFarrell wrote:What the hell would we do? COuld we even agree?

We mods have this worked out already. We lock ourselves in engineering and beam the rest of you back home. Then we select who we actually want on the ship. There's a list somewhere.
There are after all, far more people on the ship than it needs

What IS it today with all the newbs running around going 'lOL sT sux0rs!'? Or is it that they are just so stupid ALL they can do is bash ST, thinking that Wong will reward them for their posts or something?

I wouldn't really call Jordie a newb, he's been here for over a year already. Although, his post could have used a bit more substance and a little less brown nosing...Chris OFarrell wrote:Jordie wrote: It's probably be something like this:

It would be hard to hide something like that from the public (lots of telescopes out there), so my guess is that NASA would get a jump start and the US would send a shuttle up there to investigate the thing. The government would swarm it as soon as they figured out how to get life-support systems online. Then everything would become highly classified, and we would hear little more than rumor about it for many years.

That being asked, I think we would take over... There really isnt anything the US or any other country can field in order to challenge us...

This is easyBetter question, what happens if one Sovereign class Starship appears around modern Earth....with the population of SD.net on board, the Mods having computer access privalges for primary systems and Wong having superuser privalges?
And say the holodecks were shut down so no holosex
What the hell would we do? COuld we even agree?
1, Our Lord and Soveriegn walks Fuzzy threw the Endless Hallways
2, A Cupple of Metric Tonnes of Cola, Chips, Beer, Pretzels, Burgers, and other snacks get replicated within 2 days. Along with at least one order of Hot Earl Grey tea.
3, The Bridge gets AC/DC played in it.
4, It is renamed the USS Star Destroyer
5, Somone sets about digisning a more Ergenomic Phaser Pistol
6, Berman Bragna gets beamed abord, and faces a firing squad.

The government would imediately get the technical staff from Paramount to help them in trying to figure out how to get on board. Knowing the fanbase out there some of us might be recruited to work at NASA headquarters to also help support getting teams up and onboard.
Seeing as the US pays the most and has the best equipment that could be built to get us up there, I don't see Europe, Russia, or China getting there first.

The US government will seize that craft at the first opportunity, and from there we can begin to draw conclusions.
If thei Russians and Europeans could cooperate long enough to pull that off, then we might see a true shift in the balance of power, consigning the US to a secondary power, assuming the US didn't do something rash as a result.Luzifer's right hand wrote:Could not the russian and europeans together lunch a Soyuz capsule much faster than anything the USA could send up?

With the space shuttles currently on ice it should be possiple for the russians to launch from Baikonur long before the USA could launch a vehicle.jegs2 wrote:If thei Russians and Europeans could cooperate long enough to pull that off, then we might see a true shift in the balance of power, consigning the US to a secondary power, assuming the US didn't do something rash as a result.Luzifer's right hand wrote:Could not the russian and europeans together lunch a Soyuz capsule much faster than anything the USA could send up?
And I'm sure the EU would give them all the money they need.

That's what, the third time you said something about American and Chinese ICBMs being launched against a target in space? Is that your sexual fantasy or something now?
Anyways, whoever gets the Sovie fine-tooth-combs the computer core for any and all data relating to the ship's physics and construction if and only if they can decipher the data. Then all the major powers start making their best rendition of the systems they can...
