Have a plan for dealing with the unexpected and the blatantly impossible. If you can communicate and recognize those similar to you, consider truces of convenience. It is possible you may see familiar foes or friends as well, which might not behave or look as you expect. If this set of ships of yours is unarmed or peaceful, be prepared to try to run, hide, sell yourself well, scuttle your vessels, or bribe or abandon ship as you see fit. Be prepared to cooperate or compete with other timelines of yourself as you see fit. It is possible that ships from different versions of your own timeline will be taken -forward or backward- and you will not know this until you find yourself near them. They may come from places where the physical laws themselves are different, but everyone's capabilities will mostly work as they expect them to. Science and understanding what other ships are doing and why will be difficult as well. Communication will be an issue if you try to be peaceful. Tactical FTL might not be as useful as you think it will cause a reverse echo to enable targeting from slower ships. Strategic faster than light and jumping will be limited though if you have a form of tactical FTL, it is enabled.
Any so-called 'trump cards' of yours, like literal permanent invulnerability or time travel or utterly perfect stealth or irresistible mind control, will be minimized to nigh invulnerability and temporal distortions and almost perfect stealth and almost irresistible mind control. Many technologies will be compatible with your own. If you manage to win the ensuing confrontation, you will have access to untold wealth and riches and technologies, both from the now-open controllable dimensional portals to their galaxies or their versions of your galaxy, and the novel sciences and ideas from the hulks of their ships. Get into a fight? I mean, each of the ships in that specific image get into a fight?Īt each one of the ship's points of origin, the government or intelligence associated with each ship is told something along the lines of, by some deity sort of super-reality warper, "These vessels of yours will be taken and will be placed in an unfamiliar star system with many unfamiliar vessels that use unfamiliar technologies.
