Because no sane computer programmer would put Bay12 in charge of anything.

Edit: Nor would most of the insane ones

Okay, I'll go make a forum game where you're a computer working exactly right and you're currently rendering a powerpoint presentation. :P

PTW, will contribute more soon

Do we have the capcity to make more fuel and also do we look like this:

Also how do we replicate nano or less advanced systems?

Later, but not now. You'd need to find a power source and resources first. Probably on a planet. For now you have three planets you can reach. (Both entering orbit and crash-landing). Feel free to ask for more details about the planets.

Nope, you're a real Von Neuman probe, which are named after the Scientist John Von neuman. Basically you're just a machine(spaceship) capable of replicating itself, though you haven't activated your production and manufactory machines yet.

I know that we're replicating. I just thought you might like that site seeing that you love hard sci-fi. So do we have and data on the planets?

Code: [Select]
Activating Sensor Array's:
Scanning planet one:
        Current average temperature: 630
        Size: 7.651 km diameter
        Atmospheric pressure: N/E

Scanning planet two:
       Current average temperature: 251
       Size: 12.000km diameter
       Atmospheric pressure: 1,21
       Atmospheric composition: 70% Co[sup]2[/sup], 22 N, 6% H[sup]2[/sup]O, 2% others
       Notes: Suitable for Genesis protocol
       Orbited by one moon:
                - Average temperature: 120
                - Size: 2600
                - Atmospheric pressure: N/A

Scanning planet 3:
      Current average temperature: 197

      Atmospheric pressure:0.4
      Atmospheric composition: 20% Co[sup]2[/sup], 40%N, 39% H[sup][sup]2[/sup][/sup]O
      Notes: Orbited by a debris ring. Impact mark suggests a recent large impact

Go to the second planet, obviously

I'd suggest that we go into orbit around planet 3.  The debris ring could have enough resources for us to set up a mining operation without having to crash.

Also, see what we can find about this "Genesis protocol"

I think crash landing on planet's two moon is better option.

1) It's closer to sun = more solar power

2) Low gravity and no atmosphere = much less damage on crash

3) Whole moon is better, than some debris


So my suggestion: Crash land on planet's 2 moon
