      My first concern would be the circumstances of the discovery. It could be a prelude to alien arrival, or if its been here millenia I'd wonder if it was not actually an artefact from a long lost advanced civilization.
      One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

        Study it, determine how to build more, then churn them out at a profit, a la X-COM.

              I prefer Lal. That +1 happiness really pays off in the higher difficulty levels. When I play as University I wind up having to nerve staple everybody.

                  University is fun, but not too challenging. Actually, my favorite race is the seabased humans of the expansion pack - I really love the mobility of seapower and having seabased cities...

                          I would take it apart and study it.
                          If the entire thing was documented (and with a find like that, it would be), someone would eventually figure out how to get the thing to work. It would most likely give other indirect benefits, like advanced circuitry or similar.

                          I would then use the technology to make spiffy blue armour for soldiers, ala XCom.
                          I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).

                            Dang it, I knew I should have been more specific.

                              why not pick up a copy of alien crossfire? Im sure its cheap now.
                              Recently I spotted a SMAC copies in the bargain bins for 50cents. I went to but 10 copies just because well... I felt like it. $5 was less valuable to me at that time than buying 10 copied of SMAC for brief moment of humor.
