/c/TenForward: 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

In the Star Trek universe, I've realized it's not too good to think about how many problems transporter could solve. It would be obvious if you were in-universe and using transporters a lot.

For example, how often could a problem be solved by transporting an enemy into space or by starting a transport and then intentionally purging their pattern from the buffer?

Quite often, I suspect. Technically, they should be able to use the transporter and buffer to copy and save the state of people too.

  1. Log all the lifesigns on the ship. This is done every morning, or whenever people board or leave the ship, or just before people head out on an away mission.
  2. Compare log to previous saved log. If there's any difference, notify command to investigate.
  3. When beaming an away party back, beam them directly into quarantine until they've been checked against their medical records, or the pre-transport saved state.
  4. If the ship is boarded during an attack, beam all non-registered lifeforms into space (or into the replicator nutrient pool for reuse)
  5. If an away team member is killed, restore from your transporter backup.
  6. Struggling with an engineering problem? Copy a few more Geordies from the stored transporter state.

It might slightly ruin the drama.

That's how you get a ship full of amoral Garys.
