/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.

I've long thought that the years just after First Contact would be fascinating to watch unfold. All the advanced tech (besides the warp drive) came from the Vulcans/Romulans (Transporter, replicator, etc). We see none of how Star Fleet came to be, how the Federation came to be, now the Vulcans helped humanity progress for YEARS. After First Contact, the next thing we see is a fully developed Enterprise, with all the tech in place and understood. A lot happened between that's I'd love to see a show/movie explore.

The issue is how difficult it is to invent realistic technology without having to invent actual technology.

The more they explore the area they where formed the more they owe it to the audience to explain how it works, which of course is what all the nerds want to know…

I am a bit tired whimsical science/space magic and tried my own hand at conceptualizing how alien technology could form. It is a lot of fun but it takes pages on pages just to have your logical principles make sense.
