I like the idea that the unused Voyager episode had: they were a weapons system designed to be so formidable that no one would dare attack, because their fleet and soldiers would just become more weapons for the controllers. Except things got out of hand and when the controllers were assimilated, they went all Skynet.

Is there more information on this? It actually sounds kinda interesting.

Been watching through TNG the last few months and I'm really sad that Worf/Troi never got the chance to take off.

"New Eden" was probably the best Prime Directive episode since TOS.

Janeway has two first officers, two engineers, and no doctors. Meanwhile Kirk has Worf, The Violent-Vulcan, and One-Punch OBrian. These teams seem lopsided.

But Janeway also has Paris, who can do any and all jobs needed because he took a one-semester course ten years ago on it.

The episode mentions that Republic is the normal training ship which based on the name and the implied age (it was already old af in the 2320s since it hasn't even left the solar system since then) would probably make it one of the original connies which I can't imagine being that much older than Mirandas as a class.

It's the same ship Kirk served on as an ensign, so if its not a connie its one of the half-dozen or so Disco ship types.

The big thing that I think star trek is silly with geography wise is something I always think of when I play stellaris - who the gently caress is on the other side of the romulans and Klingons and why don't they expand that way instead?

humans sometimes have money in trek, sometimes they don't, it all depends on who was writing that day and what was more convenient for the plot

There are three confirmed Romulan members of the 'main' cast, so we're definitely going to be dealing with the destruction of Romulus/maybe the fall of the Romulan Empire?

Maybe some Tal Shiar people get a hold of that derelict Borg cube to use it as a weapon against the Federation or something

I'm trying to figure out what the deal is with those ships that are approaching what looks like Mars

That's literally one of the storylines in Star Trek Online

Well, an artificial singularity. Not one powerful enough to be a black hole I assume, or Romulan ships wouldn't so much explode as vanish into themselves and try their damnedest to drag anything in their vicinity in too

One of the best things about STO is that Romulan ships actually do this when destroyed.

It's weird they didn't use the Ambassador class more often once they had the model, there's lots of times when they used an Excelsior in TNG when an Ambassador would've fit better and made it feel like Starfleet wasn't all hundred year old ships. I think the model might've been messed up? But it did show up a few rare times more.

According to Memory Alpha, the Ambassador-class model was of less quality than normal due to time restraints (they had less than two weeks to make the Enterprise-C model). Combined with normal wear and tear during filming meant that the model just became too busted to do filming with.

So I'm finally getting around to watching TOS after trying probably a dozen times before and it just never clicked.

This show is bugfuck crazy. Every episode of season 1 so far is absolutely insane frommstart to finish and I'm pretty much just :stare: the whole time. Kirk is nothing like what I was expecting from popular culture references and jjtrek. Balance of terror and what are little girls made of are probably my favorite episodes with a nod to that weird proto q episode but he's space Napoleon.

I'm on episode...28 I think, city on the edge of forever or something, supposed to be good and famous and also I guess some famous scifi author has been yelling about how much better his script was for 40 years

Wait'll you get to TAS. I can sometimes smell the hash from my tablet.

Because everything else he's been involved in is either unfunny dogshit or actively offensive, and it's hard to know how much of that was him and how much was the other people on those shows.
