If alien settlers arrive at Earth it will be more akin to what European settlers did to the buffalo than the Native Americans. Nuisance fuana to be pushed out of the way / eliminated.
- lost_tourist 4y agoYep they likely will just wipe out any race intelligent enough to give them or their terraforming activities any issue. There is no reason to expect them to be nice to a species as primitive as us.
- oneoff786 4y agoIf you start with the assumption that you’re dealing with a ruthless expansionist terraforming alien race, sure.
- eloff 4y agoIf an alien colonization fleet is in orbit around Earth, that's a fair assumption. They didn't come all those lightyears just to have tea and biscuits. They're not likely to just move on just because there are some buffalo already living there. We wouldn't.
- m4rtink 4y agoIt still depends - if you travel lightyears with a sizeable fleet just to capture a specific planet for living space alone, something is seriously wrong with your race anyway (unless you have some yet unknown transportation technology) as you could likely build uncountable space habitats for all that mass and energy spent & right at the heart of your civilization, not somewhere in the sticks with no friendly infra where Earth is. You need a deeper purpose our you would not be there. Like doing it just for fun or something. :-)
- oneoff786 4y agoBecause a colonization fleet around earth would only happen if those assumptions held first
