/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.

Adjust settings to your advantage.

Oh my god that episode was so good. Some of the best sound editing I've ever heard too (this is coming from someone who's done sound editing).

Sure is. It's part of a simulation being run where the main character conjures up older Starfleet crewmembers that might help him pass the Kobayashi Meru.

[–] Bach37strad 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Also, you get to pick your bridge crew? That's pretty cool. Mine would be

Coms - Lt beckett "the fuck did you just say to me?!" Mariner

Counselor - Cmdr "pass the blunt" Bev Crusher

Tactical - Cptn "what prime directive?" Janeway

Medical - the "please turn me off" EMH

Sciences - Lt of the winter constellations D'vona Tendi

Helm - Cmdr "I wanna be a real boy!“ Data

Chief engineer - Cmdr Trip "that vulcan has a phat ass" Tucker

Ops - Cheif Miles "don't make me put you in the pattern buffer" O'Brian

First officer - Cmdr Will "Trombone Longy" Riker

Designated whipping post - Ensign Harry Kim

As of the final season of PIC, Bev is also a really good choice for tactical.

[–] Bach37strad 4 points 3 months ago

Oh for sure, but if I have to have someone who's entire duty is ships morale, it's gonna be the bitty who rolls more joints than Willie Nelson.

[–] Bach37strad 2 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Interesting. I just started watching new trek after finishing Ds9. Loved lower decks, haven't seen prodigy.

Hold on let me put on my picky nerd hat. OK, should Odo be part of the Kobayashi Maru since he was never technically a starfleet officer, just a security officer employed by the Bajoran Militia? I could see him at tactical, but helm? OK nerd rant over.

[–] ummthatguy 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Totally ran those same thoughts. His helm experience is largely runabouts... not too promising.

[–] Bach37strad 3 points 3 months ago

"Captain, I merged too soon and sideswiped a brid of prey. General Martok is hailing, he requests our NCC ID and insurance info. "

[–] trolololol 2 points 3 months ago

Yep I'd go Kira for helm.

Aww... it's U.S.S. Derpy, the Little Ship that Could!

[–] aeronmelon 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Worse, it’s the Grissom. The little ship that just can’t even.

[–] FlyingSquid 7 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Like... how do you even get to engineering? Rely on the transporter? That seems like a very bad plan.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

Maybe they're just very careful never to promote anyone from engineering to the bridge crew...

[–] VindictiveJudge 3 points 3 months ago

Judging by the windows, you should be able to fit a turbolift in the pylons. As for whether that's a good idea...

[–] the_toast_is_gone 8 points 3 months ago (1 children)

One time a friend of mine asked if leaving the people behind was an acceptable solution. The TNG-obsessive in the group asked him "wtf is wrong with you?"

[–] VindictiveJudge 3 points 3 months ago

It's in the Klingon-Federation neutral zone in the classic setup, so I think the solution to maintaining relations with the Klingons would be to go a step further and blow it up, then apologize for the Kobayashi Maru's crew's dishonorable actions.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 months ago

I used to say be like Kirk. That was until Boimler brute forced it. Be like Boimler.

[–] FlyingSquid 4 points 3 months ago

I hear there's a way to reprogram it in order to cheat, but I haven't figured it out yet.

[–] Thcdenton 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not a test, it's a game. Have fun.
