No it doesn't include the crew. You have to find those yourself haha.

Fair enough. I think I will stick with my original choice as it can run with 1 person but room for others. If it was a big ship, I would have to find a crew and I hate recruitment lol

What fictional space ship would would most like to be the captain of?

Hey...that's a really good question!!

My initial response took me back to my childhood and my first memory of a spaceship in the Jupiter II. But if I'm going to be on a spaceship I'm going to choose the one that can teleport me wherever I want to go at a push of a button. Plus give me whatever food I want at the push of a button. Plus go back in time at the push of a button.

Yes...we're talking about The Starship ENTERPRISE.

Of course, my crew would be the gang from Guardians of the Galaxy. Except for Spock. Spock can stay. He'd be good friends with Rocket I think.

And you can join me on my quest to bring the best collectibles back from around the world...

Welcome aboard!!

Anchors aweigh! (Although strictly speaking that's an inaccuracy right there as spaceships don't have anchors)...

I'd think Rocket would be far too antagonistic and illogical for spock lol. And yeah I am gonna try and post at least 1 good question a day for actual discussion.

I'm gonna be so terrible predicable and say Serenity lol. It might not be pretty, or fast, or have weapons, and is literally falling apart. But it has character. Does it come with a space hooker?

 

[Lakerone]

Great giveaways, appreciate the generosity.....!

I'm not so sure. Spock really loves to raise that eyebrow, and Rocket will supply him with endless opportunities to do so!!!

I can hear it now:

Rocket: Okay!!! So we saved the Galaxy AGAIN! We should get free stuff for the rest of our life!!
Spock: Free stuff?
Rocket: Yes, Free. Free. Free. Free.
Spock: That's quite illogical.
Rocket: Illogical, smogical. Everyone would be dead if it wasn't for us. They owe us.
Spock: (raises eyebrow) Fascinating.

 

[Vanguard1138]

Spock: Free stuff?

Wouldn't Spock be wondering why he was paying in the first place?

No, according to your own rules, it does not come with a crew which means you have to find your own space hooker lol

 

[JinxyKatte]

Challenge accepted. Ill find my own space hookers, with Blackjack and urm... Wait.

Lexx, no question.
It has friggin' Death Star capabilities, and flies fast.

In the UK, I don't think it is too bad right now but price rise is happening Friday and it is expected to go up a lot and then again as part of the next review.
Whenever I have seen stories of people having to choose either heating or eating I feel it has always been exaggerated but if our government don't step in, that really will be the case for some people. Unfortunately our government are probably the worst we have ever had so I don't hold out much hope

Yesterday or day before there was a news article highlighting the issues. I think it was cited that Russia/Ukrane War, but also maintenance of pipes in Europe are the problems with raised prices.

Not so sure it's that simple because even though this has been happening, prices are going up and the energy companies have publicised super high profits, therefore the shareholders are doing great.

Get this, also the energy companies need subsidies from the government on par with the Covid furlough which could come up to the tune of 70 billion to protect the vulnerable in the UK from price hikes and guarantees 5 year price freezes.

I sat there and called WTF. I personally don't like the news, puts me in a bad mood, so I try and avoid it. But, in the ever changing landscape and bottom line my understanding is that whatever is the root cause, tax payers subsidise shareholders and energy companies outright win, rather than expense of their own decisions of making smaller gains.

I should have had a career in economics and I told you so. Hey here we are.

A lego 80's Galaxy Explorer. I loved my built model, then one day it fell out of my hand and smashed into 428 individual pieces LOL. Sad day indeed.

Oh what about Space 1999 Eagle

Therein lies the joke.

I keep saying I'm gonna get this on dvd but I never do. Used to really enjoy this show.

It, and Farscape, are the best shows of this type, nothing like them. Well, I also like Killjoys a lot.

This is why energy should be nationalised like it is in some other countries that aren't taking the hit we are.
Unfortunately the tories get a lot of funding from big companies or have investments and shares in these companies themselves. They were seen clearly giving contracts to companies they had investment in during covid. Our government is full of people that are inly concerned with their own power and have no interest in what people need, thay was how we eneded up with Boris, despite his long history of lies, the one thing he did understand is that if you tell lies to people they want to hear, they will believe it because they want to regardless of fact.
Back to the point though, when it comes to things like energy, the focus should not be on how happy we can make shareholders, it should be nationalised and non profit
