/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. 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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

With how often we see people in a holodeck, I actually wonder how many hours a week they actually work. When Le Forge says it's gonna take 16 hours to fix the engines, he isn't working that whole time right? I thought the future was supposed to be better with the whole work/life balance thing.

It means there's a team working on it during the entire time, and it's not useful in any way to increase the team size. They also talk a lot about how that time is buffered.

In an emergency it would make sense to make people work for longer, so maybe there's some rescheduling implicit on it. But they never make it clear.

That's what Trip said and then he got pregnant

That wasn't on the NX!

Is there a reason why officers in ENT are typically never referred to by their last name like every other series?

It's supposed to be less militaristic. By the time of tos Starfleet is pretty well established as being a space navy. The idea was that in the beginning Starfleet would be more like a band of explorers who were all experts in their own fields and everything, including the command structure would be less formal.

Because the captain knows nothing about how a military ship is supposed to run and he also thinks it's a good idea to bring a dog on a ship that can spend days between places where a dog can do his business without some poor enlisted following him around with a mop and bucket.

I am declaring next weekend to be an official Sato-day!
