/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Like Kira said, "... It's a little more complicated, so it's not as good a field weapon. Too many things can go wrong with it. I think you should stick with the Cardassian rifle. Smaller, easier to use, and if we get boarded I don't want you to have to think too much about the weapon you're using."
Maybe people in starfleet forget the features available in the pinch of the moment. (&/or writers "forget" for convenient writing devices).
... Or maybe starfleet academy['s training] is not as great as the much lauded (but lacking merit (?)) "competence porn" selection bias that we see gives the impression of.
I am.a HUGE fan of "competence porn," in all its forms!
Currently watching Scorpion here.
So I surely must be too.
(And conceitedly enjoying how competent I am to have replied to that within a minute.)
[Edit: Aaaaand then realising when I double check that... I was 3 seconds too slow, because I hesitated and added "surely". Surely may be a fan, but not a performer.]
I eat scorpions. They are an aphormoadesiac, if you didn't know. Don't let them sting you there, though. That's not how it works, but I'm not a biochemist. I'm an English teacher.
Iy vil noht eeht zee bugz.
Boof em then, pussy
Phasers are super versatile but they need to be programmed. That's not something you want to be doing on the battlefield - which is why the default function is "point and click to shoot".
And most of the time we see phasers used - aside from the occasional stone heating or vaporising - it's in a battle situation where reaction time matters. Tuvok had a moment to set things up, but in most other situations, that moment might be deciding if you live or die.
Wish they'd explored Kira mentoring Ziyal more. Coulda been her lil badass protégé.
Well, alas, the future liberator hero icon of Cardasia needed to kill her because... I forget why... He was in an uppity mood, wanted Dukat's affection, didn't like rebels plotting, didn't like she was half bajoran, too much kannaar(sp?)... I don't know why.
Woulda been cool. Many adventures could have been had. Loads of planetside scouting & survival stuff...
Agreed.
As for the spelling, there's an easy way to remember:
Wasn’t she, though?
Ziyal was doing terrorism on occupied DS9 right alongside Kira.
Freedom fighting.
I know even they call it terrorism, but, it's not really using terror for political gain. So it doesn't fit the definition.
I always found that weird about TNG/DS9/VOY... the casual use of "terrorist", right to self-identification. Casually.
Like,
what,
they're taking the term back? LOL.
She baked a hasperat soufflé to help break out Rom.
That bitch!
