If an extraterrestrial warp drive collapses, we might be able to sense the resulting gravitational waves from Earth.

    That’s assuming they actually use a Star Trek style warp drive when we ALL know they are actually using Navigators to jump into the Immaterium.

      Whatever. Just track their warp signatures.

      If immaterium is real, we have a much bigger problems than inability to detect xeno’s warp drives.

      It did not. That never happened. No one has ever gone beyond Warp 10. It’s infinite speed. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

    I propose detecting atmospheric anomalies induced by their infinite improbability drives.

        Pretty hard to detect. But… probably easier than finding the petunias I guess.

    Don’t forget to polarize the sensors.

      If that doesn’t work then reverse the polarity.

      Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish.

    We need to just work on making our own. Then the Vulcans will find us.

    So civilizations travelling at ludicrous speed won’t be discovered, so sad
