First post! Here’s a stolen meme!
/196 is the only place I really like on Lemmy.
Nice. Being ~3040 years old will get me access to super ultra porn.
Oh fuck yeah. Super ultra porn? I’m so ready I already came.
After 3000 years, feeling the air will make you explode.
Hey, at least they did not forget to wake you up.
This problem is known as the wait calculation
Astronauts in 2390: 😱
The sensible way, of course, is to take this into account when planning your mission. Send ahead a big, slow, minimally crewed or autonomous spaceship, totally full to the brim with equipment, supplies, etc. Some years later, send your faster ship full of people and whatever newer technology you just can’t do without, catch up and intercept the big slow boi, and then land to start your colony.
NGL that sounds fine to me. Like coming to work to see someone already did your work.
Sky’s edge
Sounds like galaxys edge

This is the plot of Outriders
I think you mean Sliders, and that was about dimension travel not space
No I mean the game Outriders
I’m pretty confident you mean Sliders
My bad, yeah dude sharks are smooth as hell
I really like how the web serial Sideways in Hyperspace handles this problem.
In short, the faster ships catch up with the slower generation ships, facilitating trade, arranging transport for those who want to leave, and allowing them to become extrasolar cities and stepping stones to the wider galaxy.
Damn this story looks cool as fuck. I wish there was an audiobook
Welcome!
At least it wasn’t a generation ship!
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.
Narrator: Humanity did not get its shit together.
freeze me again then
The Magrathea solution.
Mental note: if we ever invent cryosleep, add a snooze function.
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.
that sounds fucking awesome
It’s an interesting setting. Got some science fantasy stuff going on, plus a dash of Babylon 5. It’s published by Free League and uses the same system as Tales From The Loop and their Alien RPG (which is very, very good, btw).
Yeah that’s literally getting to leave with a parade and arriving to being an instant celebrity.
This human being was around 3,000 years ago! They’ve traveled deep space through hypersleep! What mysteries do they have of the long forgotten and ancient past to reveal to us?
Also, here’s all of your space credits from the $1.67 you left in your savings account. You’re now a multi-trillionaire.

More likely the bank closed in the meantime
Horror movie idea, this concept but when the second humans arrive, they find the human civilization that got there first was wiped out before they got there and they don’t know why.
That’s the plot of the old 90s pc game Alien Legacy.
Also kinda the game Outriders
The movie Pandorum did this essentially
Pandorum is great!
Oh, wait, that’s actually a great idea, write that shit bro and or broette
Broette.
Follows the Toad & Toadette pattern. I dig it.
bro and or broette
Personally I quite like “bruh” as the gender-neutral version of “bro”.
Adrian Tchaikovsky’s Children of Time series is a lot along those lines.
There is a very similar Stargate Universe episode too.
Thats kinda like Planet of the Apes
Oh dang, it is. I actually haven’t watched planet of the apes tbh
Its not a bad flick, gotta watch it keeping in mind when it was made but worth the time to get a bunch of cultural references
There must be a Star Trek episode about that.
Edit: I guess “Space Seed” (where they find Khan) would count.
TNG: The Neutral Zone. 20th century humans are frozen, stored in space, and found by the Enterprise.
Also “For the World Is Hollow and I Have Touched the Sky.”
Also an EP of Babylon 5
Wasn’t this a quest in Starfield?
This has been a trope in Sci Fi since basically forever.
Makes sense that it would show up in a thoroughly mediocre sci-fi game by a developer that never did sci-fi that wasn’t based on an already existing franchise, then 😁
