How a Derelict Works!

[img]http://www.imageurlhost.com/images/2npb8ao6tt5gzsif9q.jpg[/img] Talk of the derelict spinning in flight were fairly common back when we were looking at + 140 days on the countdown. It seems to have died down of late but I think its a sound theory. Maybe the Derelict spins as it flies to facilitate time travel! I think the cockpit stays stationary as the rest of the ship spins around at high velocity allowing time to pass either forward or backwards outside the cockpit while the occupants remain unaffected. So basically the cannon and sarcophagi in the spherical centre of the ship are the traveling quarters of the Space Jockeys much like our cryo chambers. As much as I think time travel will not improve Prometheus, I think it will feature. There is no other way to explain the Jockeys appearance over the primordial waterfall on Earth or the vast intergalactic distances achieved by the SJ's which are implied by the star map. Just a theory, fingers crossed there will be no time travel but considering the evidence - its a distinct possibility.

@Ender: Where do you FIND this stuff, man? I can see the spinning being an great defense mechanism too during travel... @takka3: That pic of Doc had me is Stitches!!! * 5 stars*

It is an original interpretation, never heard about it. Though my first though was: if that's how it works, what kind of acid eggnog would have Kane found down there instead of neatly stored eggs?
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born. Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

I refuse to comment on time travel, I may in the future. I have assumed for the last ten yrs because I had a very long time before that. That the Delrelict/Juggernaught/Jockeynaught Folds space. That the ship just gets out of a planets gravity well and disappears, like stepping between rooms... leaves one to enter another. It explains to my overactive brain the star map (choose where you want to go). Place or enter information (Console holo-type thing) and between the pilot, focused energies by the chair, away it goes. It's just a theory, but it stops my brain hurting!

@ NoXWord - good point on the scrambled eggs, thought someone might spot that. Maybe the egg chambers are located under the cockpit in the centre of the craft that doesn't spin?

I have always thought the one 'arm' of the ship looks just like a hammer, lol. Anyone have any ideas how the ship would defend itself? (If it even does, might not be a war ship?)

It really is the perfect name for that ship, given what we've seen in the trailers.

@Ender basically we have found a way to prepare the famous EGGS DERELICT recipe
Ridley Scott will eventually tell us how the Queen was born. Right now we have the Deacon; coming soon the Mercury, the May and the Taylor.

Maybe the 'Juggernaught' as it flies parallel to the world below begins to rotate in the spinning action of a propeller. Turning on revolution after another over and over itself yet inside the SJ's 'Telecommunications' seat I guess remains stationary and as was stated somewhere above almost existing both 'inside' yet 'outside' the space-time continum. Very inetresting idea. The 'chair' would be like it was on a 'gimbal' yet it would be the ENTIRE shipITSELF that would be acting like the gimbal but just spinning around the chair as it remains 'stationary' during flight.

All I know is that if it is capable of flight, ITS NOT A DERELICT! This is really starting to drive me up the wall.

finally an original idea. i like, even if it would turn out to be different, i relly like it. about scrambled eggs..if its sophisticated enough to spin and create a timewarp, who knows how the insides of the ship works. plus, its a made up story, not a documentary.

That's a very cool idea.... [b]BUT[/b] i think it will look to silly. i know how it looks shouldn't be a problem, but this is a movie after all, and non fans will be watching, and seeing that thing spin would look strange. plus on the saucer we can clearly see textures, showing that it is one solid mass, not something spinning really fast.

Then the Juggernaut is a great pan for cooking delicious omelettes. PS: I wonder if they serve bacon?

@Ender I'm sure I remember Scott calling it an egg-silo a ways back.
