Lets say that a small alien shuttle craft abducts you while you were sleeping or on a walk in the city or out in a park or walking trail you realize that you are inside the ship alone and inside the cockpit. the screen turns on and shows you the view of the sky at is leaves the atmosphere. The ship tries to communicate with you but for whatever reason due to it being ancient or you not being fully compatible with it, it fails. But, it links your mind to the craft on a subconscious level allowing for the ship to anticipate your needs and desires. The screen shows you a trajectory course of where it is heading as if it is showing you what you are silently asking. The course takes you to the dark side of the moon where the view screen shows a large Galaxy Class Starship similar to Voyager from star trek. It's bay doors open as the shuttle comes in for a landing, lights begin to light up as you approach. a voice on the intercom begins to speak to you at 1st in an alien language before finally allowing you to some how understand it.
As you walk out in fear you see light bands on the walls flashing showing you where to head, the Ship greets you and calls you Captain, hologram emitters all over the ship begin to activate showing you holographic members of the long dead crew each smiling and pointing you to the lift.... as you enter the lift it takes you to the command deck where a large screen activates and states why you were taken.. your DNA matches those of the long dead crew for some weird reason it believes you are the only member alive hence giving you full access to the ship...
The ship begins to power up and begin repairs for having bn unattended for so long.
The ship asks you a question: state mission and objective, Captain...
the ship has a full interactive crew members, knowledge and technology of it's time.
what do you do?
Your Own Starship
I'd go exploring for a bit while I was mastering the alien tech and then I'd come back to earth and teach humans about interstellar travel for a fee of course don't get me wrong I'd love to be the guy who got humans past the moon but not for free
i want to know how everyone died first before i do anything..
i would than move in bring all my stuff with me and empty out my house.
i would also start doing some world wide hacking to learn as much as i can about the full government knowledge.
i would also screw with ppl on line that annoy me and screw them over destroy their electronic info or get them in trouble with the law.
I also conquer the world in a benign way for the betterment of humanity of course... >_>
pick up some friends, and some chicks, drink some pan galactic gargle blasters, and become jolly space pirates. we don't so much rob other people, as we sail around the universe singing space pirate songs and the like.
eventually become a super cool captain a la captain kirk or mal reynolds.
transport half of the population of earth to some other planet, cause man it's gettin crowded down here!
"Captain Kirk kept getting fatter just about each episode.

but sounds pretty cool to me except for the singing part.
also never heard of Mal Reynolds vague idea that you are referring to the firefly captain, em i right?
the engines would be warming up and the holographic crew would be making repairs to get them back up to a hundred percent and get you warp 9
" the engines would be warming up and the holographic crew would be making repairs to get them back up to a hundred percent and get you warp 9 "well alright then... I will probably be getting my ass up out of this Galaxy then...
i thought that in star trek they couldnt exit their galaxy with the lvl of technology they possessed in the federation.
if I can travel at Warp 9 speed... that is essentially several thousand times faster than light... I do not see how I could not exit the Galaxy..." i thought that in star trek they couldnt exit their galaxy with the lvl of technology they possessed in the federation. "

you realize that Voyager was lost in the delta quadrant and it would take a life time just to reach the nearest federation outpost and they were still inside their own unexplored portion of their galaxy, right?" @castleking said:

at least according to this Star Trek wiki...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warp_drive_(Star_Trek)
"
like i said warp drive wont get you out of the galaxy, you'll need Q or some deflector dish jerry ricking and mathematical abstract formulas from a higher sentient being to get you out of the galaxy..
I ask the ship why it mimicked a design from the lamest Star Trek series outside of Enterprise, and then I'd proceed to pick up some friends and leave the Earth for good. I'd ask what killed the last crew, avoid doing that, and then leave this awful planet in my wake.

you guys are all spoiled cant even have a hypothetical discussion with an advance alien craft b/c it isnt good enough for you when all we have are overgrown firework rockets
:(
you are correct sir, yes. it's an awesome show if you haven't seen it. imagine if they gave Han Solo his own tv show. that's kinda what it's like
i assume your crew would consist of 3cpo and r2d2 bots to help pilot and operate your ship since you will only possess your earth bound human knowledge prior to boarding it.
also remote control cleaning car bots

I'd spend a few weeks/months getting a crash course from the ships computer on the civilization that built the ship, as well as all the civilizations they interacted with. So I get a rough idea of how the galaxy is laid out. While doing this I'd be getting any friends and family that want to come with me on board so they can familiarize themselves with everything.
" @castleking: I was thinking more along the lines of Dionysus or Braggi "what would you do?
" @castleking said:earth, moon, ppl, buildings?" @Caligula said:wanton mayhem/destruction "" start blowing sh*t up. "why and for what purpose? "
