So starfleet has quota law?

I came later to the party, but I just watch this today.

Good concept but lacks of Gene Roddenberry's optimism.

Yes, the ending of the episode is optimistic, but I would’ve liked the Federation to feel confident and secure from the very beginning, and then, as the episode progressed, start having doubts. I understand that they want to add more nuance to the starfleet, but you know what? That’s already what Halo and Mass Effect do. (although the third Mass Effect 3 is ironically a bit more optimistic). I want them to genuinely be able to present a positive vision of the future.

I didn't reach two hours playing.

And there is "welcome back" or "only for new players" rewards?

I think I still have an Arc account when I tried the game in 2012 (I didn't know english back then)

Old account or new account? It is the same?

Ok, this gonna sound polemic and I'm gonna try to not use any adjectives. (Except for once)

The thing is that sometimes I feel like many stories try to appeal to a broad audience, but regardless of what they aim for, a lot of the time the audience ends up being (I’ll allow myself this just once) men rather than women. I’m not sure if this happens with the animated series of Avatar, but I do notice that with Star Trek, even though they try to make everyone feel represented, the reality is that the average viewer is, well, just that—the average person in the country where it’s broadcast.

In the case of Avatar, it’s criticized by some Japanese people because they associate it more with China, to the point that they label it as almost racist when it’s compared to Japanese animation (anime). What I mean is that no matter how much a series tries to appeal to a general audience or to please everyone, that’s never really going to happen; it will always end up having a group with shared characteristics that likes it.

But what do you think? Can there be stories that anyone—regardless of gender, ethnicity, or country—can enjoy? I think the closest thing to that is Harry Potter, and well, you know what the creator is like, but that’s not the point here.

It’s hard to explain, but this is more aimed at writers or any other creative producer: do you write with a specific audience in mind, or do you think that everyone will like what you create?

I want to know if this is the typical MMORPG with forced daily quest to get exclusive rewards instead of giving actual contet or it is actually interesting story and gameplay wise.

After watching many episodes of many Star Trek series I was considering to make my own fanfic like I did with Half-Life Ampere.

I have a few ideas, but I'm not sure, it is normal to want to make up my own story set in Star Trek universe?

Also, I personally have troubles to try to be the most lore friendly possible and that make me angry while I'm typing down eveything.

I really like this episode, not only because it continue the story of M'benga, but also because it has this tradition complexity about Kilingon, and lot of action and drama in every character.

26

I hear Babylon 5 and The Expanse is nice, but I hear so little about those two shows I don't know what to expect of these stories.

live action as animated recommendation is allowed.

Also to the Krall of Unreal Tournament 3. What you think?

I like Nelix plotlines.

You are waiting for more borg and romulans? Are you interested in a new enemy of the federation to appear or have another re-encounter like the cardassians?

Watching Star Trek Strange New Worlds, I'm enjoying so far after watching season 1, but I personally think Paramount appeals for nostalgia more than a new public, specially with lots and lots of reference who only fans will catch.

And I start to remembering those people who complaing about Star Wars or Fallout, with the idea of franchises which need a 360 grades turn to bring something new, for example, Fallout fans complain about the overuse of Broterhood of Steel, something I think is a silly thing to complaing since is almost the face of Fallout franchise is a whole.

But my question is; do Star Trek fans has the same opinions and thoughts? Of letting go the franchise?

Image as example, also, I'm waiting for respectful discussion and not flamewar.

First time I complaing about graphics, but they also use like 6GB VRAM for game which looks from PS3 or Xbox 360. The characters looks like toys, why it looks ugly?

Plus, lacks of voice acting.

I mean... all of them?

[-] cuchi@startrek.website 30 points 2 months ago

How it feels to have all the Klingon makeup?

[-] cuchi@startrek.website 7 points 7 months ago

I mean, Star Trek dosen't had overacting in general?

I edit the title, I call him by the fake name.

[-] cuchi@startrek.website 9 points 1 year ago

As people said, the Holodeck uses a lot of energy, "Homeward" is an episode who show this.

[-] cuchi@startrek.website 6 points 2 years ago

At least the bear don't have a daughter with a slave. /s

[-] cuchi@startrek.website 18 points 2 years ago

I remember seeing people complaining about "woke adaptation" with The Sandman, and Neil Gaiman always reply on Twitter he was ok with that, is like people can't believe there is authors or works who is being left-right stories, people acted like he was controlled, mind-washing or something.

Big fan of Half-Life right here, the problem of the combines we don't actually see they full power of the seven hours war, but if they have struggle dealing against a 2000 human civilization rebellion, they can't stand the power of Starfleet. The Combines dosen't even have shields, the Combine Gunship can be throw away with just three real life rocket launcher and so far we see that's one of their stronger airship synts units the combine have.

But destroying a Borg cube? That is a feat even for an advanced civilization, or many of them.

Now, we compare how they slave human kind; the Combine controlls the birth rate, the Borgs have their own childrens, are way better than the Stalker of the Citadel, personally I think being a Stalker is worst than being assimilated by the Borg, but the point is the Borg is way more efficient.

Now, in a rap? That's other topic: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hnqE8iLQ1bc
