/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

So annoying when a new starfleet pilot gets into the hyperspace lane on impulse speed and everyone behind has to blow half a gram of dilithium braking and going around.

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 12 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

Especially when there are 3 Bolian freighters passing each other going .1 warp faster than each other and all warp traffic behind them gets backed up.

Uhhh…. What’s going on with Wesley’s sideburns in that picture?

[–] PerogiBoi@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Someone got jiggy with the burn tool. Kinda funny they used the burn tool for side burns.

[–] b34k@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago

Burn the burns!

I was wondering that same thing

For real though, why are there so many people (who are obviously not new or student drivers) driving around with those stickers? They seem to drive around like that sticker is a license to act like a complete fool on the road and is almost entirely unlike the dumb things your average student driver will do.

[–] proudblond@lemmy.world 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Serious question, do you feel like you’re seeing more and more of them of late? I do but my husband thinks I’m just falling victim to whichever theory or whatever it is that when you notice something, you start noticing more of it over and over but it is not any more common than it was before. I’m not convinced.

Anyway recently I was behind one that made me laugh. It said: New Driver Good Luck Everyone

[–] Wolf314159@startrek.website 2 points 5 days ago

I'm absolutely seeing more of them. They're all relatively new stickers on newer and older cars. They're all of about the same few designs. They're actual bumper stickers, not magnets or signs hung with suction cups in a rear windows, so they're basically permanent. Permanent student driver stickers just don't make any sense for their supposed purpose. The stickers are going to last so much longer than it would normally take anyone to become a mostly proficient driver.

If you can read this

We have not violated the treaty of Algeron

What are the odds there's a Prime universe Galaxy class with a lift-kit on their nacelles, ~~rolling-coal~~ venting-plasma, with an aftermarket aft tractor beam hauling 3 runabout shuttles, flying a Terra Prime flag, a silhouette window decal of Phillip Green giving the finger, and when he docks with a star base the captain constantly complains about the price of dilithium.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

You've never seen anything until you've seen a Constitution Class with truck nuts.

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 5 days ago

From a nearby D7

"Only two?!"

The saucer section is a giant spinner

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 1 points 5 days ago

I doubt there are many galaxy class shift unaccounted for by Starfleet

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

rant about how ships in Star Trek always face each other at the same orientation despite being in space

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 5 points 5 days ago

I think it's part of the universal translator. Based on commonalities in construction between post-warp species, they can tell which way is up usually. That's why the Borg and the Gorn are so scary. Their ships don't have an up

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 5 days ago

"His pattern indicates two-dimensional thinking."

They're obviously not all on the same galactic plain at all times but it's be customary if 2 ships are to meet at a certain spot from different directions it'd be customary for them to adjust their pitch yaw and roll to match

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 4 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I can read upside down. So should I still flip it over?

[–] Thebeardedsinglemalt@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago)

I'm sure all the vessels from Angel I would be plastered with Mom Life hair/sunglasses, Baby up in this Bitch, and Rollin' with my Homies #MomLife decals on half the windows.
