/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 mean, are mechanic triggers even a thing in the federation?
On the phaser rifles, totally.
Aaand here's Ezri being another bad example:
Dax is trained in Klingon trigger discipline.
That tracks. It does seem like there could have been a list of "213 things Curzon Dax is no longer allowed to do in Federation space", a la Skippy's List.
I haven’t seen that in YEARS!
I would be honored to be called Dr. Feelgood.
I'm guessing that's something like, "Anything you might potentially point the gun at, even by accident, is something you want dead anyway, so always keep your finger on the trigger to save time."
Kurzon shot from the hip. You just know it.
I can totally believe that, by the 24th century, phasers are smart enough to fire by intention, not by some crude electromagnetical switch. Triggers are contact points, not switches.
They have technology that can literately disassemble things at the atomic level, from a distance and - even more impressive - correctly re-assemble them. I'd not be shocked if their firing systems had advanced beyond what we have today.
They at least employ such technology with the LCARS displays.
On the TNG episode Hero Worship, Data remarks how simply slamming your hands down onto a control panel won’t actually trigger any of the keys because the surface understands the difference between deliberate finger presses and simple force.
A fair argument. I just notice shit like that.
It's hard to see but it doesn't look to me like a trigger of today. I could see trigger in the future being a touch sensitive button that has some other safety features built in.
Top 2 are triggers, VOY rifle appears to be a button.
I stand corrected! Then yes, bad Spock!
