Star Trek - Space: The Final Frontier

[Rabo 2: Electric Boogaloo]

What if FTL via warp drive really is as simple as it looks in ST:TNG? Plasma from a matter-antimatter reaction is channeled trough a series of coils, generating warp fields?

They explain it away as generating a warp field pushes your ship into subspace where the laws of physics are different so that's why they can attain FTL speeds.

There is the theory of warp drive IRL via the Alcubierre drive. This warp bubble warps spacetime, so that space gets compressed on the side of the bubble in the direction of travel, and expanded on the opposite side. Inside the warp bubble, it's normal space that the ship is in, so there is no real Newtonian movement on the part of the ship, and there isn't necessarily time dilation stuff either. Sounds similar to the Star Trek concept, but without that subspace stuff. And of course there can be some serious issues.

like I said in a UFO thread:

Crazy big energy requirements, the possible need for negative energy, the inside of the warp bubble being incinerated at Planck temperature* by Hawking radiation when superluminal, no way to get the bubble superluminal in the first place, and no way to interact with the warp bubble once it's up. And even if none of that were an issue, there's the possibility that particles building up on the warp bubble during a trip would be released at the end of the journey in a "wave cannon" beam of destruction.

All of it it's the same continuity.

The rest is just some schizo's fever dream using Star Trek characters to write their Star Wars fanfiction.

 

[Ultraman Orb Dark]

That’s probably why the Confederation storyline is considered to be rock bottom for Picard. Seven wakes up in this mirror timeline where Starfleet is cartoonishly pissed off and fascist, but it looks exactly like the Kelvin timeline.

I really hate how so many modern shows treat facsism as this scary evil empire as opposed to making stories about why facsism is bad. Stuff like blind obedience, militarism, and stragegies to lure in the hateful are usually thrown aside in favor of treating fascist worlds like the Borg already assimilated them.

The rest is just some schizo's fever dream using Star Trek characters to write their Star Wars fanfiction.

Before anyone asks where the lightsabers are, the Arrowverse got them in the divorce.

I love it when Marvel shills defend the MCU with like "W-WE'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING SO BIG LIKE THIS BEFORE, EVAR!!1!"

Yeah, except 50+ years of Star Trek on TV, film, books, etc. Never before Marvel though.

Fucking normies.

There's also the alternate continuity "headcanon" of just TOS and TAS.

(TAS doesn't fit with the rest.)

At least TAS was made by competent people.

Marvel is just old people coming back for no reason,

I've watched enough ST: Picard to know this game. They’ll bring Mystique in, she’ll say one cryptic line about Charles Xavier’s ballsack or whatever, then shapeshift into Tony Stark mid-battle before exploding into blue fairy dust.

 

[PFM]

The horga'hn sounds like it does the opposite of what it does.

 

[Orkeosaurus]

I didnt know what thread to sperg about this on. They unveiled the Lego star trek 1701-D set today and im genuinely almost angry enough to fedpost. Now granted the only lego set ive bought in like the last 20 years is the $20 james bond DB5 car but In what world is this a 400 dollar set??? You know how many 40k knights that is? No bridge section? Its so fucking small!

ehh
fits fine for me
I especially like the idea that Lucifer is chums with career god-punching mvp Jim Kirk

My favorite thing about TAS is the personal force field "life support belts" that are the whole reason why it makes sense everyone just wears glorified jammies. Like the number of times starfleet must get merced Bone Tomahawk style by some stick and stone ooga booga aliens and get their tech stolen.

 

[GAY DEAD MUPPET GANGBANG]

You know what infuriates me more than anything? People who fucking use Roddenberry to justify their new woke bullshit.
"RODDENBERRY: THE FIRST SJW"

You've already raped his corpse; looking to finish him off with that gangrape up the ass?

I think this video is the finest counterpoint to that; it's one of the finest Trek videos I've ever seen, to be honest.

I've been LOOKING for this, no wonder why I couldn't find it! I misremembered the title!

because they know damn well they could just sell the set of minifigs for 1k and make bank on The TNG Gang Lego Guys

 

[Screamer_2]

I agree, but I really have no idea what can be done to fix the damage. You would have to declare huge swaths of things non-canon. And they'll never do that.

The best thing to do is what the Orville did. A fresh show with a similar concept. But maybe not because that show got canceled.

There's the odd mention they may make more Orville. For whatever reason, in my mind I feel like there'll be more. Although since the sets have been struck, I assume there'll only be more if there's a multi-season commitment. Seth needs something to do while Ted is in post-production.

I'm not going to lie, if they announced a fourth Kelvin film with that cast, it'd probably be more interesting for me than any other film they could announce.

 

[Curzon Dax-sama]

The horga'hn sounds like it does the opposite of what it does.

People here think to know what it's supposed to do, but what if it did not? Like what if instead of sex with hot alien women, you get a marxist self-critique session and radfem cock and balls torture?

 

[Sweeter and Savoury]

Just watch this one scene, this ONE FUCKING SCENE, and tell me anything in nu-Trek even comes close.

It's a small, simple, earnest scene but to old school Trekkies is pure mana from heaven.

 

[Flexo]

There's a scene where Geordi is on the verge of tears because he's seeing a sunrise with his own real non-digital eyes for the first time in his life. It's a beautiful scene... and then in the very next scene he's in, he's totally ok with making sure that nobody else gets the same chance, all to make a couple of hundred hippies feel better about themselves. And the whole crew even moralizes about it.

The big question is always: why can't they go to the other side of the planet?

Like if this was Earth, just imagine some hippies in Canada were the only people on Earth and they said aliens couldn't set up in China.

 

[ToroidalBoat]

"life support belts"

If TAS fit with the rest of the series, there'd be the life support belt thingies in TNG, a negative universe, and more less humanoid aliens in later series, as seen in TAS.

TAS is an OK show with good writing though. Overall anyway.

chums with career god-punching mvp Jim Kirk

oh yeah

that "magic" episode

 

[Flexo]

So I am absolutely unfamiliar with Star Trek games, is there anything that comes up to KOTOR 1 and 2 in terms of being worth playing? Not meaning to sound disparaging, just those are the two really great Star Wars game I can think of.

Elite Force 1 definitely.
