/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.

I think the borg could be an even more compelling storytelling vehicle with just a few changes.

  1. Focus on aethetics. Everyone loves pretty people and pretty ships.
  2. Make it voluntary and open. Drop the "resistance is futile" and try some PR for once. No disease, no poverty, no loneliness etc...

Yeah, I think a quasi-religious cult offshoot of the borg could be neat to explore.

You just described a plotline of Picard season 2. Wouldn't recommend.

Now season 3.... That shit was fire.

[–] ripcord@lemmy.world 4 points 22 hours ago

By the inverse property, that fire was shit.

Watch Apple TV's new show Plur1bus for an idea along those lines.

Looks like you are trying to describe the Federation...

Hum... The brain links are way less direct, that's for sure.
