/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.

Get the Banæna bwoiys to fix it for you.
All of the above: Technobabble the shit out of your job!
Scotty should be " Fired phasers at the dilithium crystals to fix it"
Still a popular option 75 years later.
I know, it's facing away, but it's still a dumb location for testing.
Production Crew: Hey, we only have one engineering set. You're just going to have to deal with it.
Fans: But you could at least close the blast door.
Production Crew: ...
And a great excuse to practice your tumbling.
Selection pressure on the engineers. Be agile or die. They doloses a lot of engineers...
They have a firing range, though. Guinan kicks Worf’s ass on it.
I thought that was the holodeck, but yeah, still would have been more sane and plausible lol
Always loved this one .... let's test a laser like device to see what it will do ... it might punch through whatever receptacle device we aim it at, I don't know ... but being a hyper intelligent android with logical thinking skills, I'll go stand behind the receptacle in the path of the beam
This is the equivalent of testing bullet proof vest material and your buddy shoots bullets and you decide to stand behind the vest being tested
Our analysis says that it should work but we haven't thoroughly tested it yet ... but I trust the science
They probably make daily backups of their Data
Gotta watch that ricochet
At least it's all on the far side of the garage door thingy that everyone has to roll under at the last second.
Where is Barclay? Dropped the ball there. Dude has a list of miracles.
I'm going by chief engineers, if clarification is required.
