/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.

So Picard went rogue, but what of the other 1,000 (possibly up to 6,000) other crew members (not to mention civilian family members and passengers)? They just went along with being pirates or Picard just dumped them off on some random planet/moon? I feel that there wouldn't be enough pro-pirate crew/officers to pull this off. There is so much Federation/Starfleet loyalty that I don't feel he would be able to round up enough people to keep the ship staffed (if Geordi decided not to join up and automate the ship). Active resistance from within the the ship by officers/crew/family members/passengers would eventually stop Picard dead in space.
He gave a rousing captain's speech about the advantages of a pirate's life, clarifying that shuttles are available for anyone who doesn't want to be a pirate, no questions asked, and everybody stayed.
I mean would you disagree?
He'd probably say something cool too like "I'm about to disobey a direct order from Starfleet." And then Id be like SHIIIIT this gone be gud
Exactly, which is why even 6000 people on board wouldn't be a problem.
Edit: If Enterprise does it, it's not illegal.
If Voyager "Ship 'o Death" does it, it's not prosecutable.
Hellyeah me hearty
They have an (annual?) "Captain Picard Day". Most of the crew will be with him. Drop off the civilians and the botanists somewhere...safe. 👀 Decimate, starting with the planet Scotland candle ghosts and any other embarassing enemies. Find the Nexus again.
