Let’s say NASA or some amateur astronomer discover a strange object near earth, we study it and then learn that’s a real alien ship.
What would happen in this scenario? Would we try to bring it to earth to study it and then try to rengineer it? Or would we be cautious because it could contain alien life forms that might harm us?
Once we repair the ship it is very fast, faster than light travel. Would we use it to do things humanity always dreamed of?
Hi, I am making a sci fi comic and wondered what rooms you would think realistically a spaceship like more futuriatic would have?
Thanks
These are pretty simple designs I made for a modern-ish space carrier and fighter, which is partially based on dream chaser. How practical/realistic do you guys think it is? It has a nuclear reactor, space for ten fighters, a repair bay that can hold three of them, eight docking ports, missile bays, two point defense turrets, comms systems, RCS, backup solar panels, a robotic arm, and a refueling boom.
What do you guys think of this? I know this might be a bit weird to be put here but i figured most people here would know if it's realistic.
A massive mothership prepares to land in the desert. Model from the tv miniseries “V”. I recently refinished the model.

Although it came of a bygone era, the Chasiv Yar class has clinged to life. Many of these short-ranged Monitor-type destroyers where build during the 40's- and now, 60 years later, just as many still serve. To say this class is unpopular with crews is an understatement. The ship lacks modern inertia dampening system, making almost ever combat manouver unbearable ( including firing the main weapon ). Due to it's very heavy and highly dense armarment, space inside the ship is a luxury. Most decks are not high enough to stand upright. The ship has no bunks or crew spaces, as it was originally intended to serve as space station monitor; the crew was not supposed to spend much time in the ship. The ship remains popular in the navy- Despite being only ~150m long, it's armament rivals that of Martian and Sirian light cruisers.
