/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.

We’re talking about an organization that refuses to retrofit their ships with seatbelts despite who-knows-how-many crew members dying every week from getting tossed out of their chairs in a fight or when anything unexpected happens.
Also… surge protection… just saying.
Or a better form of security than voice recognition... or security cameras!
Security cameras are in fact very vital aspects of a security theater. Sure they won’t stop someone from breaking in, but they’ll definitely allow one to monitor much larger areas than would otherwise be possible.
The caveat is they can’t be ignored and need to be monitored. And given how dumb the ship’s computer is….well. Probably should assign a Vulcan flunky.
I was more thinking of all the times they had to search 3 entire decks of the ship for a lifesign that was feint or deliberately obscured, probably could have found the thing they were looking for inside 5 minutes if they had some damn cameras.
Ah. Yeah. That makes sense.
Also, door alarms. Like modern RFID or NFC door systems are capable of reporting in real time someone swiping a badge- a failed badge swipe (ie if someone is trying to get into someone’s room,) or even a threshold of “x-many failed swiped”- and perhaps more importantly; when a door gets forced open (or is otherwise open when it shouldn’t be. Including held open for “too long”)
The most secured facilities, even just using modern equipment would have lock downs checking biometrics, a badge, and probably some kind of password (and a duress code to use instead of a password,)
