They were all basically Charred, The window shattered inwards, The scorch marks are aligned as if whatever caused them occurred in the front.

Hmm, can people still join this or is it limited to the starting players?

This one wonders why a window would shatter inwards when the pressure inside the ship would force the window to bulge outwards. Even if something hit the window, the leaking air would soon divert most fragments away. Perhaps the ship was hit by something very large that kept the fragments in place.

The probable cause was a smaller vessel ramming the bridge and them fleeing with its engines, roasting the occupants of the bridge instantly.

Anyone can leave or join, there is no official player roster, only those who post.

[Haveroszaur]

Rather than arguing about the bridge, I use the drone to check the hull.

The drone moved outward, getting a over view of the ship,  The ship is /massive/ almost 5 kilometers long, With the bridge on the top, middle section, but what is more curious is that the Scorch marks mark the entire front section of the ship, the front is completely blackened, getting progressivly less as it gets to the back portion of the ship, whatever caused this, did one hell of a blast.

Question why the fuck the ship had a window and why the fuck the bridge wasn't in the center of the ship like any sane engineer would put it.

((Seriously. Windows + Space = bad. Just a big weak point for the enemy to shoot or an asteroid to bump. Even diamomdglass. And putting the bridge of a ship in the front is crazy. Most weapons fired at relativistic speeds against other relativistic speed ships will hit the front. Add a window to the equation and no wonder the ship's fried. This race must have been downright suicidal.))

Of course, the problem was, the Captain demanded a better view.

[~Neri]

Building a five kilometer ship. It doesn't matter what the captain wants. That's an absurd investment of material. Unless the captain payed for the whole damn thing (which realistically would cost trillions of whatever currency), he wouldn't be getting windows. Combat in space is contact of under a millisecond. You wouldn't be able to /See/ the enemy ships. They would be labeled on the view screen as a dot that says "ship is here" and realistically speaking, nobody with enough wealth to build a five KM ship would be stupid enough to want windows.

((The space shuttle has windows. The ISS does too.

If the ship's outer walls are thin enough that it has windows, then they aren't much of a liability compared to... well... the entire outer hull.))

This one begins to believe that this is not, in fact, a warship. Windows suggest that the vessel is lightly armored, especially for a craft of 5 kilometers. Furthermore, the bridge placement such that the crew receives an overview of the outer hull suggests that monitoring systems are to be kept at a minimum of complexity.

I'll quote this for you because it seems you forgot it.

I vote miner/salvager auxiliary RRC (resupply repair, and construction) ship.

So we can build a bigass swarm of ships.

Don't mind me, this one is just the raving mad AI fragment that lives in its own little world.

[LuckyKobold]

OK weld metal over the windows, And then check out the captain's Logs, Also search for any survivors, If we find them have the Combat Drones Kill them because THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE.

((As much as I would like to go on a rant about science and shit, http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/SpaceDoesNotWorkThatWay   this sums up most of what I would have to say. In space there is no terminal velocity or maximum range, so it would seem silly that battles play out in close range. Then again, it is a game, and the universe the game is set in could have glass stronger than metal. I don't really care because the author is only as bad as Hollywood, or the average person who watches Star Wars. Oh, and it is a game ))
Take note that the AI is on a seperate network than the rest of the ship. Try to activate communications/sensors to hail/detect other ships if they are there.

[auto-fail] The problem is, Scanning drones can't weld plus, it seems as if the window was designed to see the entirety of the ships top-front, however you do note that there is radioactive elements as if the entire area has been exposed by a ridiculous amount of Solar Radiation.[2] Your runtime runs through the System logs, and from what you detect, the ship sustained the damage WHILE in warp, Your incessant man handling of the Scanning drone causes it to Short, Nice going. On a similiar note, you make a scanning drone, accompanied by a combat drone scan the engineering quarter of the ship, It seems almost pristine,  however there are no corpses, not even a little rat corpse to fry some more, However the Warp engine seems to be extensively damaged, but the main thrusters and fuel cells seem fine! All is left is Section M, and section C, Section D, and the various corridors and Sub-Departments throughout this ship.

[4]Haling failed, Reason contracted, System is missing and/or Destroyed.

Spoiler: STATUS (click to show/hide)

Hull Status- Entire front almost completely charred, The external plating on the very front is completely destroyed, exposing the rooms, and several holes mark the entire ship, including the bridge.

Bridge is filled with many computers designed to be accessed by Bipedal humanoids, however Drones can jack into it, a large portion of the bridge is effected by a blast from the front. ship systems are interconnected with Hallways, AI-Cables((Which allows communication and orders from you!)), and Ventilation systems.

AI system room
AI system core- Uses 25 power a turn Cycle.
Two battery banks, one of them non-functional, the other is filled completely(8900/10000), Scans on the local system reveal that we are powered by a basic Radioisotope thermoelectric generator, The data we retrieved from the computer reveals that is the secondary power source. You have enough fuel to make 7970 Power units. along with basic Solar panels, unknown of condition, producing around 20 units of power a turn. Apparently in space. System AI communication relays only reach certain parts of the ship, as if designed to prevent tampering of important systems.
Rows of computer banks sit, this is where we are housed, Holding the extra Data, Holding general engineering data along with several Drone templates, And autonomous machines, a large amount of data is Encrypted.
((Think a huge amount of data on many topics, kinda like a STC from warhammer but way way shittier.))

General structure of the "Mother" Ship is rather decent, although not perfect.

Engine room
Explored, Large amounts of spare parts sit, along with extra Matter cells, Along with several computer banks, unable to be connected, due to lack of AI cables.
Warp engine damaged heavily, can be fixed with a dedicated system, and several cycles, along with large amounts of parts.
Main thrusters in good condition.
Atmospherics system offline, can be turned on if entire ship is sealed, and can be jacked in to show which rooms is or is not air-less.

Communications system failed.

Spoiler: Units. (click to show/hide)

Five Scanning drones One fried at Bridge, Uses Tiny amounts of power from there battery(10) Around half a meter in Diameter.
8 General purpose Fabrication units, The size of a Mobile home Uses 25 Power units when fabricating. Seven offline, One barely running, however completely filled, Currently Fabricating, A Mobile Fabrication drone, the Construction will take one more Cycle.
Several hundred general sensors, spread all aboard the ship
7 Combat drones, equipped with basic Railguns, powered with a rather large battery(300) Firing takes 5 Energy and One round from storage(30 rounds)
A single salvaging/Matter collection drone, Holding around 2 2/3 feet squared of Drone Debris, can hold 7 1/3 ft squared more.
Three Mining drones, each powered by Solar panels, and are outfitted with Mining Lasers and Matter collection systems, Completely self sufficient, If a little slugish.

[The Froggy Ninja]

Make some basic repair drones and an access drone to pop into the computer.

[LuckyKobold]

Make some basic repair drones and an access drone to pop into the computer.

+1 also give them welding capabilities.

[AoshimaMichio]

Desing better Fabrication unit, one that doesn't make so flimsy drones. No need to build it yet.

[Vivalas]

Make a repair drone and try to repair communications.
