/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

But that's kinda the same discussion as in pen and paper RPGs - why do have any other regular members of the party if you have magic user. It's a cool idea to add frankly overpowered character but it will inevitably lead to the numerous plotlines where they gonna have to cripple them or remove from the picture in order to let others to show some problem solving skills.

They do that with villains in those superhero movies too. First you introduce ludicrously powerful character that can alter matter at will or manipulate time or crush armies with thought then how do some much weaker guys defeat them? When they are looking to the left so they don't see someone's first. Or some random crap that was never mentioned before. Or sometimes literally a more powerful guy shows up.

It's the easiest way to put yourself into a corner as a writer.

yeah it drives me a little nuts with adam eve in incredible. she fights so many opponets who rely on tech but doesn't bother converting it all to lead bricks.

adam eve in incredible

It's actually atom eve. I had the same confusion when I first watched the show. The fact that the animators screwed up and used the "far away" version of her chest logo (with just an X over the female symbol) during closeups didn't help. Her actual logo is the female symbol with electron orbits around it.
