FIRST CONTACT - The Commander's Guide

I don't agree that our weapons can be seen as weapons by aliens, maybe they are not able to harm them and a beam with special effects can maybe be the tool to communicate.
 
I will tell you this.... this game is making me pull out my science and mathematics books from years back. Forgot how good Carl Sagan's book "Cosmos" was. In it, there is talk about first contact.
 
Attention vessel of non human origin. This is the LNCV Revenant. Prepare for first contact protocol 01-A

I have two first contact scenarios.

1: The aliens approach peacefully and indicate willingness to trade.

Response: Sell precious coffee and beer in exchange for worthless meta-alloys, platinum, and painite, which surely grow on trees where they come from.

2: The aliens barge in guns blazing and start killing people.

Response: Battle stations! For the Federation, and Democracy!

We Federation pilots are going to free the living [EXPLETIVE DELETED] outta whatever these things are.
 
We need to do another CG, to supply professor Palin?...or some other boffin, to construct a basic 'universal translator' module.
I can't personally see me working out *any* first contact messages...that might be needed in the short term, (especially after a couple of pints of strong cider). [where is it]

I can barely type a single damned comment without hitting the family friendly swear filters in this place where I have to follow rules and guidelines.

Trying to imagine a first contact encounter out in a place where no such rules exist...I'm actually laughing at meself with the realization the consequences of such an encounter.

Let's hope it's not an fdev staged first contact over a live feed with kids in the room ^^
 
Step 1. Soil your onesie.
Step 2. Run away!
Step 3. Die screaming.
Step 4. Cry because you forgot to take a screenshot.

You forgot:

5. Troll forums complaining about getting griefed by aliens.
6. Troll forums complaining about insurance buybacks.

Why don't we invite them to join a committee, so that we can sit down and talk about our differences together ?

[Cue: Magic Carpet Ride]:Congratulations you are humanity's first contact ambassador; first Starbuck's on the right and on until morning!

Please don't let the first encounter happen to some 2nd amendment fanatic... god please...

*Chuckles in the background*

Have you seen the setting we're in? All of us are flying around in privately owned warships, I have a sneaking suspicion that nobody in the Elite galaxy would bat an eye at a personal sidearm. :D

Sorry. I was only thinking in-game. My bad.

I [redacted] totally [redacted] hear ya man! I [redacted] think I [redacted] must have [redacted] turettes or [redacted] something, 'cause I [redacted] came from a [redacted] forum where the only [redacted] rule was [redacted] "no personal [redacted] insults", [redacted] lol.
 
I'm not smart enough for math things, I'll probably shoot the thing if it looks at me funny.

Dude, if you so much as twitch in the wrong direction, I'll rip your arm/tentacle/whatever out of its socket and beat you with the soggy end!
 
First thing to ask the alien: are you single or married?

I don't know about you guys, but if someone from an alien race asks me out on a first contact, I would feel very flattered (or awkward if they look like giant roaches, but in that case, we might as well start shooting each other right away)
