The irony of #CaptainJaneway's hologram in #STProdigy ordering the kids to run away from the borg when she's based on CAPTAIN JANEWAY, #Starfleet captain who stared down the borg to the point of it being a joke in the fandom back in the 90s is just chefs kiss (s1e12)
#Saru from Kaminar: First officer then captain of the USS #Discovery. Saru is the first #Kelpien to enter #Starfleet. #Kelpiens were hunted on their home planet and thus evolved the ability to sense the coming of danger."
Do you have a VR headset? The USS Valkyrie is a fan group that meets in VR to chat, go on “away missions” to interesting VR worlds, and we are on Discord, where we have different departments, you can interact with other Star Trek fans, do trivia contests, keep personal logs, etc. We have no RP requirements. Participation is at your own comfort level. If interested in joining our crew, send a friend request on Discord to WookiePicard. 😁🖖🏽 #StarTrek#starfleet#vrchat
Starfleets operating system is likely a descendent of modern Linux, with LCARS obviously standing for Linux Computing Architecture and Redux Singularity.
Actually, one gripe I have with #StarTrek#TheNextGeneration, #DeepSpaceNine, and #Voyager is that all the captains are intolerant to dissent, and are like: How dare you disobey! There's a rule command!
But then some admiral or viceroy from #Starfleet turns up and the entire crew are like: Ugh! Fucking Starfleet bureaucracy!
And then they disobey orders.
So which is? A rule of command or no rule of command?
Has anyone ever noticed how weird it is that no one on #Starfleet carries anything in their pockets in #STTOS (excluding the movies), #TNG, #DS9, or #STVoyager? On missions they get a phaser and a tricorder and that's it? WTF is up with that?
How many episodes would have easily been solved if they were just slightly prepared? I get it's not military so they don’t have side arms but what about a flashlight? A multitool? Maybe a first aid kit when they head down to the planet?
Why isn't anyone on the bridge armed? What about engineering? The two points where someone could literally get in and either destroy or take over the ship -- and nobody is ever armed.
It's like the only standard equipment they get is the combadge and uniform. Like working at McDonalds, here's your name tag and a weird polo shirt and you're good to go. Go save the universe.
Remember the rule of thumb of Miracle Workers.
If something takes an hour, tell the Captain it'll take 4 hours.
They'll tell you to get it done in 2 hours.
