First post! Here’s a stolen meme!

/196 is the only place I really like on Lemmy.

Heck, sign me up. That’s basically time travel to a future where presumably humanity has gotten its shit together if they’re still around inventing better ships. I see no downsides.

Exactly! If it were a generation ship however… That would’ve sucked.

Or you end up with the version of this from the Coriolis RPG setting where humanity collapsed into a second dark age in the time you were traveling, so now you’re trying to bring it cultural enlightenment to the barbarians who have better tech but no idea how to properly build it maintain it.

It’s a weird game.

Good news! You’re heroes!

Bad news. Everyone’s a hero, since it’s a communist society where everyone is eager to add their own unique contribution to the common good. Everyone has a Hero! plaque on their wall.

There must be a Star Trek episode about that.

Edit: I guess “Space Seed” (where they find Khan) would count.
