  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I guess saying goodbye to Kirk seemed inevitable in 7, even though most of us thought the original generation was done after 6. But the Enterprise D making it's debut and then being destroyed in the same movie after 10 years of TV episodes seemed a bit sudden.

It was inevitable for Kirk to die in season 7. I thought the Enterprise D was gonna serve until 2380-2400, as the ship was built in the 2360s. But it died young. If the movie producers wanted to, they should have salvaged the Enterprise D's saucer section, or ejected the warp core instead of blowing the star drive (rear section with the warp nacelles) of the ship to pieces. Tomorrow, I am gonna watch Star Trek: 1st Contact. Now, I might have watched that movie before during the 2010s, but as I am watching the movies in order for the first time, it is okay to watch it again.

-----------------------
Ignore the rest below, unless you are interested in my own sci-fi alien species, the Xa'na race of Hesal III: For reference, the Xa'na live on the 3rd planet of the Hesal A star system, around 3 quadrillion miles from Earth. First contact by the Xa'na is not made with humans until the 2570s.

Funnily enough, Star Trek: First Contact takes place during 2063, which is three years after when my own alien civilization for a sci-fi plot series accidentally discovers the graviton displacement drive (yes, a cool name) in 2060, and perfects it in 2062.

In 2449, my sci-fi alien species, the Xa'na, achieves a milestone in faster-than-light travel, traveling at 1728x the speed of light, a speed that allows for trips of hundreds of light-years in mere weeks to months. During the mid-22nd century, a trip of 100 light-years would have taken the Xa'na a few years to a few decades. By 2449, that journey time is cut down to under a month. A speed limit of 930 times the speed of light was imposed a few decades prior due to instabilities in the graviton displacement drive that were not solved until future versions of the drive system in the 2500s.

How was the Graviton Displacment Drive discovered by the Xa'na: In 2060, a dark matter nebula interacted with the force fields of a slower-than-light interstellar spacecraft built in 2057 heading to the Ideseni (aka. Hesal B) star system around 19.8 trillion km (13 trillion miles) away from Xanadu, which caused the artificial gravity generator to become off balance, leading to a gradient in graviton strength, allowing the ship to go +2% faster than light.

The ship's quantum computer then used that info on the return journey two years later to learn how to manipulate the gradient of the artificial gravity in the front and rear of the ship to create a massive graviton distortion, allowing travel at a little over Makarov 5.2 (196 times the speed of light). The ship even 3d-printed a Muon Decay Catalyzer to allow for a stable graviton displacement field at speeds above Makarov 4.

Muon Decay Catalyzers were kept under wraps until the 25th-26th centuries, as the Xanadu government was afraid that ships could get too fast, and AI designed graviton displacement drives could be used on rogue robotic ships to invade other planets. In other words, AI went rogue in 2071 on Xanadu, and the planet's government could not take any chances with high technology until the 2500s.

Graviton Displacement Drive

Hello folks. I came up with this cool sci-fi drive system for spacecraft. It will not work in real life, but I want to use it in a sci-fi plot. I asked an AI to explain it. Prompt: Explain how the fictional graviton displacement drive works on faster-than-light spacecraft, and how it...

First Contact may be the best of the newer ones.
Nice imagination you have! Have you thought of writing a sci-fi novel?

I agree. First Contact is a good one. Hey, thank you for the kind words on the Xa'na of planet Xanadu in the Hesalian star system.

My writing sucks, plus the Xa'na have a long history to explain, and I need to start with the boring stuff (pre-space faring stuff) set in the 1910s where the Xa'na civilization has a global war and fight each other using weather manipulation tech. The 1910s plot is similar to Earth's WWII, as the Xa'na have 1940s level tech in 1917-1924.

The next plot would be set in the 1950s (which is almost done already, but stored at my parents house). This plot deals with a pandemic that started in an airplane lavatory, and spread killing over two million Xa'na inhabitants. I made this short story during April 2020. The tech level of the Xa'na race in 1952-1955 is roughly that of humans in the mid-1970s. Yes, the Xa'na used jet airplanes from the late 1920s up until the 2040s or so, with electric airplanes and alt-fuel autonomous flying cars taking over by the 2010s.

Another plot deals with a weather anomaly in the 1990s that blocked out the solar panels in the nation of Mindekowa on the northwestern continent of Xanadu. The tech level is roughly that of 2016-2017 humans, but with much more green energy compared to humans.

The most interesting plot will be the 2050s-2060s one, where the Xa'na send out a small manned, but autonomous sentient ship to explore their nearest stellar neighbor, Idiseni. Another plot I could make set in the 2070s, where a rogue space probe made by the Xa'na decide to attack the Xa'na homeworld after learning about violence from other alien species and old radio transmissions from Xa'na when the planet was in turmoil back in the 19th-21st centuries. The thing about traveling faster than light, the probe can outrun radio signals. If the probe is 150 light-years away from Xanadu in the year 2070, it would recieve radio signals from Xanadu from 160 years ago in 1920 (during the 1917-1924 war). Later plots could revolve around faster-than-light travel, and the implications of the Xa'na meeting other alien species during the 22nd - 26th centuries, and finally meeting humans near the end of the 26th century.
