/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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. 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

So... back to normal in a week?

Plot armor is still at 100%, so we're safe for now.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Ablative plot armor. Hmm. Wonder if there's meme potential in that? 🤔

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago (1 children)

That's just the author getting fed up of their character and killing them off. From the character's point of view the shot sort of comes from right-angles to reality.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Fed up, or desperate to add an emotional kick to the pants. (See the Defiant getting rocked by the Borg cube in First Contact, with no noticeable damage on DS9, but getting taken out by the Breen, only to be replaced two weeks later, with only new carpet to show for it.)

Aren't those redshirts?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 4 months ago (2 children)

I'm more like the NX-01 where the damage doesn't get rebooted between episodes.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 months ago

No, the NX-01 uses a B'Elanna space station like Roddenberry intended.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Still ends up doing just fine as-is though.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

Hmmmmm... Maybe every enterprise has a q "secretly" working in engineering and everyone pretends they don't know?

A week in terms of when we saw the previous episode. When it first aired anyway.

Once the frame gets bent it'll never be the same.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

You can get bent!

Oh sorry, I misread.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago

It'll buff out

Meanwhile the tertiary backup inertial dampener is like:

Like Voyager at the end of year of hell

[–] [email protected] 13 points 4 months ago

Voyager at the end of Year of Hell-

(I know what you meant.)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 months ago

How about this-

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Meaning it can still fuck up a few enemy ships before somehow escaping

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Sorry buddy but this one ain't named Enterprise

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

That's because you didn't treat your body as a temple.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

How much time until the structural integrity fields collapse?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Prepare for saucer separation

The "my body is a temple" people sure are hyperfixated on a weird body part
