  • Sure, sure, you think looking for an intermix chamber of antimatter and matter that is not 1:1 is easy. What happens if they are simply leaking plasma from their nacelles? Or what if the ship is trying to steal your tech by luring an engineer onboard to repair “damaged” systems?

    Or what if their warp drive uses an artificial singularity?

    • You seem to think that they are saying they can find any alien ship with any sort of technology. They aren't. They are saying that if an alien ship has this specific type of theorized warp drive technology and it fails, then we know how we would be able to detect that.
