As I have posted my in first post, here, >>>>>The one-problem with ‘Star Trek’ it is supposed to be exploring space & not interfering with other planets’ beings’ development, but it still has a lot of violence-wars.<<<<<. Let alone the rest of Space SciFi entertainment,
My idea solves that by instead of creating my Better Space, SciFi, Exploration Entertainment on military atmosphere & the experiences in any war(s)- I have no experience in,…
…but to base it upon, what have no experience with, the true scientists of all fields-explorers-peace makers-maintainers (& people needed for them to live, like those of their family that agree to go with them, but none of them have spouses-children of any kind-educators-doctors ), exploring the unknown-not known enough places of the outer space, with only truly defense weapons. Think of the diplomates, ambassadors & UN, but not dominated by 5-1st World countries/more Socialist & true all countries’ opinions-votes matters, no military atmosphere all, only defensive weapons & in outer space.
Their spaceships have the best possible forcefields, but if need be the forcefields can use the force put into the weapons absorbed by their forcefields back at the attacking spaceships, not to damage, but to make their weapons no longer functional & push the spaceships out of reach of their own spaceships, for as long as needed for their spaceships to escape, the attacking spaceships.
Yeah sorry about #2. Some was lost in autocorrect.
Here rephrased: 2. Did they actually buy into the Prime Directive? Exploring without interference? If they did, wouldn’t they mostly rely on drones or cloaking tech so they’d never be discovered in the first place, if they go where no man has gone before? Otherwise, they’d just paint a target on their backs for more violent species looking to take advantage of them or their technology. Like "Look, there is species #73647 (i don't want to name your civilization), they have super technology but won't strike back, we just take what we want, no counter attacks!" That could even lead to a story about a century-long space blockade of their home planet: The attacker try to hunger them out. Because their shields are impenetrable. But maybe the planet is a facsimile, an empty place to lure malevolent species away from the true home planet.
I would definitely read a sci-fi book about a civilization which dedicates itself to complete peacefulness. I believe there is a lot of conflict and story waiting to be unpacked.
Yes, better than ‘Star Trek’ series pretend to care about, With 1st. superior negotiators for avoiding attacks-wars, 2nd. superior shields/forcefields, 3rd. ability to make attackers’ weapons useless & 4th. push back attackers’ spaceships for great distances, to continue on. Then other species would be fools wasting their resources trying to beat them.
If it exists in their spaceships, their own planet(s) would obviously have it.
