short: get solar panels and guns on the rims, dig tunnels to their emplacements, geothermal generators set up, flight drone scouting.
mid: get those multis scanning things, get energy researching.
long: mineral dig, get a factory, get power transfer and storage systems up.

((long term is about A month))

You start up all the drones: the flight drone begins too scout: You quarrie on how it got here and it says it got here on Mothership X-000...You look through your data files and you cannot find it anywhere...How odd: The flight drow scouts the area: it tells you the dirt is very thick and mineral rich: it wont be easy digging  through. You begin setting up the solar panels and making the place A less of A hazard
as you finish the gun emplacements, half the tunnels, and the geothermal gen's and alot of solar panels's you detect A solar flare in bound: as your husk of A mother ship can barely protect you as is You have A couple of choice too do.

Transfer your self too A multi drone and dig as deep as you can before the solar flare hits ((Abandon everything for A 100% chance of safety for your self))

Have all drones drop what their doing and use the scrap metal to add to the top your core too protect you.

Continue on like nothing happens

Or somthing else?

"You're a scout drone or not?"

Also, about the solar flare wrecking us completely: BULLSHIT. How many computers were ever so slightly damaged by a solar flare? NONE. This planet has life, meaning it has a magnetosphere, countering MOST of the solar polarized radiation. We are still deep inside a (damaged) mile-long mothership. There is no fu****g way we can be even SLIGHTLY inconvenienced by a solar flare, no matter how big.
If this solar flare is going to erase us completely despite the natural, gigantic planetary forcefield we have, it probably mean that this whole planet is going to be glassed, the crust boiling, and no life is going to survive. Also a sun so instable is likely to explode soon anyway.

And since when do geothermal generators need fuel? They would be pointless...

[scapheap]

The person above is right, even without an atmostfear the planet is to solar flare what a mile of lead is to radiation.

Carry on with no worries.

[Jbg97]

Geothermal generators require magma to boil water into steam to power turbines. Magma=fuel. We have no magma.
Also, maybe the planet is undergoing a polar shift, which would leave the magnetosphere weakened enough to let solar flares big enough EMP us into oblivion.

Whatever, protect ourselves against the flare, when it passes program some droids to begins digging up the dirt, some more droids to mine, gotta get to some magma. We gotta get us some minerals and geothermal power.

[10ebbor10]

Nobody ever heard of the Carrington flare? Such a thing is rare
*, but it would destroy more than 60% of all electronic equipment on earth.

Let's just power down and disconnect everything and wait the flare out. the computers are spaceship computers, and should be resistant to the flares effect. They should be able to survive.

Besides, other flares have frequantly knocked down entire powergrids.

also, geothermal works on heat differences. Digging down a hundred meter should be sufficient for a small trickle of power.

*Direct hit about every 500 years

We are a spaceship. Even damaged we were made to laugh at solar flares, on a planet which will blunt it, in a darn crater. If one computer on us drop 1 fps I'll be surprise.

Not really. A spaceship mostly relies on the faraday cage effect to keep itself safe. Considering the giant holes in the ship, it's unlikely that it'll work. Besides, it's fairly easy to evade a flare.(Not really, but tranststellar ships should have the speed to do it). Whatever our defense systems are, I doubt they have the power remaining to whistand a once in a 500 years event.

Also, modern day spaceship computers have the same protection against flares as if they would have been wrapped in aluminum foil.

If the GM states something dangerous is happening, ignoring it is not going to help. Luckily we should have a few days before it reaches us. flares are not that fast.

Edit: The planet and crater are not going to help us. It's day, so the planet isn't shielding us. In fact, it'll make everything worse, because a flare this size will ionize the athmosphere/ionosphere, triggering a geomagnetical storm.

Good point, forgot about geomagnetic storm.

As for the rest of your post. My siliconian friend maybe you forget that, one, this is not the 21st century and two, we AI's put the same effort in to EMP shielding that those fleshly bipeds put into their life-support, we would of accounted for solar flares.

Easiest/ most reliable way to do that would be a natural faraday cage (the ship) or a magnetic field generator. Sadly, it appears the ship is not equiped with a functional generator, and it's too heavily damaged to function as a Faraday cage.

((Also, humans don't spend that much effort on lifesupport))

[scapheap]

((Really? Well we're doom.))

Ok I can see that.

[Aseaheru]

Geothermal generators do not require magma. they require heat.
EARTH-HEAT.

I only see one or two votes: and the solar flare will come ETA: 3 days: Your rudimentary scans detect that it wont erase your ship but it will damage your computer equipment some-what. And from the same scans the sun is Slightly larger and cooler then the human sun. You are not completely fucked. ((You picked 2 hospitality: Solar flares happen Alot on the planet: there are A couple other planets but the ships programming was to land on the nearest planet.))

So what do you do?

[Aseaheru]

get copy of everything in tunnels, including yourself. the tunnels should deal with the flare.

[wer6]

I wish more people voted... Also you chould move your self easily.
