/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. 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.

My head canon is that instead of monetary rewards for doing important or dangerous work, you get more land to use. That would mean trashmen, farmers, nurses, and starship crew would have huge palaces and ceos would live in a shoebox. Picard gets double sized because he's a captain and a farmer. Same with Boimler.

I rather thought that there were no “palaces” and no “shoeboxes“, but still a varied range of accommodations that are a mix between inheritance and state ownership where they lend it to an individual or our family.

There’s a very good reason why most sci-fi series that espouse a futuristic socialistic utopian future never really get into the details. Because we, today, haven’t figured that shit out yet.
