/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 it's effectively just cloning, which doesn't transfer any memories made after the last scan, since it.. isn't magic..
i think dark matter is the closest i've seen to a show that actually acknowledges that this is how that kind of tech would work, and it's a damn shame it was cancelled..
i imagine that in the trek universe the tech would be extremely regulated, probably only allowed to be used in situations where people are very likely to die and thus circumventing the death entirely. Now, with away missions that becomes more difficult as you can't strictly know when someone's actually dead, and i'd imagine the federation would look very dimly upon having two copies of people walking around..
They seem to be okay with Riker and Boimler having transporter clones.
Yeah, not so many Tuvixes though.
Dilithium crystals are essentially magic.
It's not cloning though. Cloning creates a person with an identical genetic blueprint.
Rebuilding someone at the molecular level will create a person entirely identical, including cellular damage, scars, etc.
what you just said is what 90% of the population considers cloning, words can have informal definitions.
Informal definitions that aren't very useful when discussing effects and implications of the technical details.
