/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.

How do you think they make that Earth-like gravity?

[–] varyingExpertise@feddit.org 5 points 2 months ago

Gravelty, the all natural alternative to artificial gravity.

TIL Federation star ships are made of control panels filled with napalm, gravel and rocks.

At the end of building the ship, did they just back up a gravel truck and dump a few hundred loads of crushed rocks into the empty spaces?

No no; that would be inefficient. You see, there are replicators behind every console, and they dynamically generate rocks and napalm on-demand to increase crew immersion during space combat actions.

They also use extremely poorly insulated electrical wiring that instantly shorts if the ship gets jolted

So what are those in the set? Are they chunks of styrofoam painted grey?

Came to comment, some poor slob was sent out back with an old tarp and a couple of cans of spray paint.

"Don't leave any white showing! At all!"

If I point at it, Imagus expands it. Seem the thumbnail got hosed.

Every Trekkie should be subscribed or at least watching Junkball Transmissions. (Source of the bottom gif.)

The channel is quiet recently, but I doubt it’s dead.

[–] negativenull@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

It's a great channel indeed.
