Reapers are coming! We're boned.

[SnipErlite]

Helllllllllllllllllllllll yeah


Or rather, we're fucked

bit of both?

As long as Joker is still around then all will be ok, he did manage to take down a collecter ship after all.

Yeah... after I poured a shitload of resources into the ship. He didn't beat it the first time. DID HE!

I think it was reported as two asteroids colliding. But maybe the governments are just trying to cover up the alien invasion fleet.

Looks like an X-Wing to me. >,>

really, looks like a B-Wing to me personaly.

If these are aliens, then my plan has worked and they heard my calls...uhhhhhhh, I mean, WE'RE FUCKED!

Race-traitor! You'll be put on trial for the destruction of Earth and possibly of humanity.

 

[Eternal_24]

Why does everyone who sees something they don't understand immediately evaluate it as a threat?

Uh i dont think you can prove i said that.

I'm saying that aliens probably can't go faster than light either because it's impossible.

Because anything slower than light would take hundreds of years to come from even the closest star system.

How do you expect to reach other solar systems or other galaxies without traveling faster than light or at least AT the speed of light? I should remind you that the closest star to our own Sun is Proxima Centauri and it's about 4.22 light years away.

You misunderstood me, I know all that, and don't think it's possible myself. I meant when did anyone mention FTL travel? I thought oppp7 was joking about aliens, and about invasions and stuff, and that we were talking about a comet...

I just brought it up to show how much I don't think it's aliens, and that it probably never will be.

I'm saying that aliens probably can't go faster than light either because it's impossible.

Actually, there are a few theories that might possibly work. Most notably, a warp drive. Basically (and please don't ask me to explain in detail, this stuff is bonkers)it creates a small area of space where the speed of light is faster than the one in the normal universe, so inside of the warp, you're still going slower than light, but to the rest of the universe, it's faster.

For more, look here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alcubierre_drive

Ya, but as it says in that article, the energy cost of something like that would be ridiculous.

Those aren't the Reaper's, silly. Those are the Tau. Submit, for the Greater Good!

Stasis/cryogenesis and auto-pilot. Sure, it has yet to be perfected, but we'll get there, I'm sure.

Without traveling the speed of light it would take WAY to long to reach the closest star to our solar system + the amount of fuel needed to support such a journey is just plain insane. Not only that, but how will the crew survive solar flares and the fact that the ship will need to be repaired at some point since it will sustain damage of some sorts.

 

[zombiejoe]

OMG ROBOT CTHULU ATTACK!
CALL COMANDER SHEPERED
...wait a sec, that donsen't look like a reaper.

TO me, it is either some sort of new test space ship, or a space squid.

 

[Zedzero]

Reavers, not reapers.

No it's Reapers..as said by BIOWARE!

 

[psycolemon]

SPOILER ALERT:

IT'S A TRAP!

Rotating year-long shifts of unfrozen crew. Yes, it'll be a large crew and yes, the fuel costs would be enormous at the current time. Cryogenesis is not feasible today either, but advances in technology are happening all the time.

My point is that, at some point in the future, regardless of whether or not FTL travel is possible or plausible, humanity will colonize another planet. This is assuming, of course, we don't blow ourselves up first.

Astronomy Picture of the Day. Nasa is agreeing with the comet collision. But we're all smarter than to believe that.

If you get to this link tomorrow the picture/article will be different. So follow this one..

Reavers, not reapers.

Mass Effect, not Firefly.

sorry to disapoint all of ur geeky fantasys. but Its just gasses.

Yeah what he said... plus a bit.
Even if it was, it wouldn't matter at all.

I agree with that, however, we will be stuck in our solar system until we discover either to travel at the speed of light or faster than it.

 

[Sparrow]

We haven't even found Prothean tech on Mars yet! Ruh roh!

I've had enough of your disingenuous assertions!

 

[EMFCRACKSHOT]

OMFG ITS A CYLON BASE STAR

Well, we are all royally fucked. I say its time to bow down and worship our new alien/robot overlords

 

[Dusquad]

Looks like I am going to need and army... Or a really good team
