What would you do with it? yes i am referring to the URSC here but if you had an armada of space fleets what would you yourself chose to do with it? they are advanced enough to find anything in space be it your favorite book or game and get there quickly you would be able to do just about anything you put your mind to so what would you chose to do with it? i know what i would do but i would like to know what you would do if you had one.

Destroy the world.

This is a... very odd and specific question. It forces me to make a lot of assumptions.

Assuming that this massive fleet of ships just spontaneously appeared in orbit, that it appeared right now, that I knew I was in control of it, that THEY knew I was in control of them, that it was fully staffed, that they were fully stocked and loaded, that supply trains were miraculously not an issue, that nor was fuel an issue, they had the ability to travel at FTL speeds, and that they had a way to quickly get me on board the flagship, this is what I'd do.

1.) Tell every sovereign nation of the planet to calm the fuck down and shut the fuck up. We're not here to blow you into oblivion, we're here to share. But, we're sharing on my terms.
2.) Consult the scientists/engineers at NASA, Space X, and other space programs. Offer to share information about the miracle of FTL travel. (And pray to got it doesn't work like in WH40K) But with one caveat, I get royalty payments on my technology.
3.) Share the designs for FTL engines with the world.
4.) Invest money in hookers and blow.

Colonize Mars, convert the moon Deimos into a colony ship, install three AIs, and send it on a centuries-long journey to Tau Ceti.

My first priority would be doing something to preserve the original moon landing site. Judging by how people treat historically significant sites today, it will only be a matter of time before some lunatic (I'm sorry) steps over Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin's footprints, like Fry did in Futurama.

woah i was not expecting this, only one of you seemed to have evil intentions but i did see a few flaws in in Mr tokaido's plan. your idea is pretty much spot on to mine BUT this bit *Consult the scientists/engineers at NASA, Space X, and other space programs. Offer to share information about the miracle of FTL travel. (And pray to got it doesn't work like in WH40K) But with one caveat, I get royalty payments on my technology* this is not a very good idea because if you give humans FTL they no longer need you and thus you lose all your power and if you have the FTL (these are really great you can go as far as you want and not have to worry about travel time) you can always harvest recourse and sell them to earth. and sorry for the lack of back ground i just give you an armada and asked you what you'd do with it and i must admit you surprised me. but that is only 2 people there is still the chance for the evil humans to emerge. but have you ever noticed how there are NEVER any good empires? or any good alien moves? they all seem to want to kill us, anyone think we are not going to welcome them if they come in peace because of this?

Charge across half the cosmos, seeking vengeance for a grievous insult, only, thanks to a miscalculation in scale, to have the entire fleet eaten by a puppy.

... glad my guys never make mistakes but even so we are from a universe that makes us immune to many things, magic, time travel, other stuff that would be bad...

Well, how was I to know? :\ The guidebook said the planet was "Mostly Harmless".

I'd use it to set up a chain business across planets that deals in the processing of alien livestock and turns them into rich, bloody, succulent meat.

Also, I'd then use it to stop people from asking silly questions.

YEP there's that evil human bit i was waiting for. but i was just curious and wanted to know what others would do if they had access to such resources.

save the internet

But I'm the dude with armed spaceships in orbit. If they make and test FTL engines in my "airspace" I'll be the one in control. Hell I might make them pay a fee to use "MY" space. Then, once everyone starts building engines based on my tech, I'll start raking in the dough through contracts and royalty fees and shit. In fact I bet I would be humanity's main source of FTL fuel for at least a while. At that point I'll be made of money, and have just greatly expanded humanity's horizons. Hopefully it'll even help with a lot of problems like overpopulation and scarcity of resources. This also has the benefits of taking the tough decisions out if my hands.

Honestly though, I'd probably take my flagship and tour space for a while too. I'd die to see the rings of Saturn, the great storm of Jupiter, the crab nebula, the snow geysers of... I think that was on Io, our galaxy from afar, Andromeda, and, hell, I'd go toss a rocket into a black hole, just to watch it get spagetified. Too much cool shit to list.

Edit: I'd take Niel De'grasese Tyson with me too, to have him explain crap to me all cosmose style.

Triton, Neptune's big moon. Io's got sulfurous cryovolcanos. Still worth a look-see, though. :P

I like your plan except for two things, first, hire NASA engineers away from the US government, these bitches don't deserve NASA in the first place, second, destroy the moon to give earth rings like saturn, then find a better looking moon and place it in earth's orbit.

Also drop all politicians into the sun, just for good measure.

stuff

ah see thats the base human instinct right there, get rich. i fortunately dont have that it seems which i focus on the more help others side of the thing. but you see because you can be so advanced you can make drives without the need for fuel take mine they are NOVA and SUPER NOVA stars trapped the instant the explode thus creating a power core that is safer than steam (or what ever is far safer than that) while having the output of a nova star... and yet we still have power problems on the southern cross i guess it comes from being 1,000 Km long but i have a plan to fix that. and also another brain twisting fact, for the moment space is limitless so that means the only limit is our imagination. so that means movies books games there all real. so screw that guy you said to talk to you about the cosmos IM HAVING TSINOY FROM HULL ZERO 3!

Uh. What. Safer than a super Nova? All existing nuclear warheads together pressed on your eyeballs in the moment of detonation are safer than a super Nova anywhere within a light year.
You have no idea how much power even a small super Nova pumps out every second.

Ahh but you see thats where the casing comes in if it does explode its as harmless as a frangipani... and do you have any idea how much power a 1,000 Km long ship needs? i use the nova cores for the day to day stuff like our armour... yeah a whole nova star just for a suit of armour. and please i know my space logic even though iv never seen a full show on space i still know a lot about it, not as much as id like but still. for instance did you know that when a star dies it can do one of 2 things, explode thus making one hell of a show for the next Melina or implode making the lovely black holes that warp time.

A supernova is a dying star currently imploding and violently spewing radiation and matter into the vicinity, your 1000km long star ship is a dust speck compared to the size of even the tiniest star, you can't have a supernova inside a ship for simple reason that you're trying to fit an ocean inside a teaspoon for ants.
If you want to have limitless energy stick with any sort of matter/antimatter or fusion reactors, but not a literal supernova.

Just to put this into perspective, your 1000km long ship is 609 times shorter than our sun, which is way too small/not dense enough to create a supernova.
Also, a supernova doesn't burn for millennia, it burns for weeks, and in these short weeks it pushes out the entire energy the star would have 'produced' over billions of years.

A supernova is able to murder you with neutrinos, and at this very moment there are a couple trillion neutrinos flying through your body doing nothing, a supernova can kill you with these fuckers.

Seriously, if you ever feel like destroying parts of a galaxy teleport a giant star inside the middle, and then a black hole inside that star, lean back as the resulting supernova will destroy large chunks of that Galaxy. Repeat a couple times as you desire.

Sergal, are you roleplaying?

Peekaboo said:

Yes, he is.

If I had a whole fleet of spaceships, I would make it an exploration fleet. The vastness of space is so awe-inspiring I just wish to float through space at light speed. Travel to other galaxies, explore it's planets, maybe find some intelligent (tentacle) life somewhere.

Just looking at space makes me just wanna fly through it and be free from this earth! :3

Spacespace. Vacuumspace. Outerspace. *Shrugs*

I like our moon. It happens to be just the perfect size for a solar eclipse, and, appearing just slightly smaller than the sun, it creates a small, bright line around the moon during such an event. The odds of having a natural satellite like that and intelligent life... we're very lucky.

Not to mention the obvious effects its destruction would have on tides and nocturnal animals.

Roll over and go back to bed.

That's why I said to grab a better looking one, like one made from diamond or something. Imagine an Eclipse through a pure diamond.

Or you can go full on Star Wars, join the dark side and blow a planet up .

*readies lasers then slowly glasses the earth* hehehe :P now to go find a species of sentient life more interesting ;) or at the VERY least, somewhat more intelligent on average.

yeah...i'm not really interested in humanity tbh >.>

I'd take up every parking space at the local Pizza Hut.

Except for the moon thing, yeah, I like that idea. I'd do pretty much that XD

ok this is staring to get off topic because of me so lets get back to it. but first, it seems from what i have gathered that the moment a star dies for just an instant of an instant it sometimes implodes creating a black hole for just an instant but before this all that power condensed to a very very small point like a dwarf star and this is what i use a full star giving out the power it would have if it where nova. but as i said i dont know anything for certain i only know about how limitless space is for the moment and i really want to learn about the other things. but as i said back to topic. i have really context-ed my universe but there are some things that just seem a little far fetched like using a super nova power plant for a suit of Armour that can control gravity and particle fields. yep the ultimate boss Armour you control gravity and particles you can do anything... literally. NOW back to topic.

you and me both they are evil greedy stupid dumb think there the best race in the galaxy and think they know best in everything... no offense to you guys i mean humans in general. thats why most of my universe if furry's no wait, its all furry apart form the odd human from halo and other stuff.

I'd boldly go for the sake of Science and creating the Federation so I can just live in Star Trek.

Come to think of it, I'd use it to stop people from roleplaying in a public venue, i.e., the forum.

I'd start by transporting all the dolphins from Earth to an another life-supporting planet.

That should give Douglas Adams fans something to talk about.

I'd go drag racing through the heavens, set up the nascar of outerspace. Just for fun.

I'd also set up a system where school kids get to travel out to see some of the cool things in space for themselves. Nothing like an outerspace school trip to get more kids interested in science. Science is cool, space is cool, and kids are naturally curious. Seeing some of it in action is a natural way to spark interest that no textbook can do on its own.

I'd probably do a lot of intergalactic traveling. If you can actually go map the heavens, why on earth wouldn't you? And seeing it for yourself in the process? Hell yeah. That would be awesome.

I'd throw a giant party

Fleet army to do list:

• Overtake Earth and unify it into the Unified Federation of Earth
• Start looking for suitable planets to colonize.
• Trading arrangements with reasonable species in the space if existent.
• Keep expanding the size of the fleet
• Defend from hostile forces when needed

OR...
Start conquering planets, sending invaders ad the infiltrate and sabotage defence mechanisms that could deter the invasion, once them send the signal, the fleet invades the planet and overtakes it.
ALL TO GET THE BIGGEST, AMAZING QUANTITY OF SWEETS AND CANDY POSSIBLE.

Easy, brag about it in front of people that I hate.
