/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.

The other way can be true, too. That Kirk wears it the proper way and Pike adds the undershirt for some reason. Or that regulations changed between the moment depicted with Pike and the moment depicted with Kirk.

It's not like Kirk is big on regulations on the first place...

No show-heading Captain really is though.

Pike is just the guy who wears an undershirt while Kirk barebacks his polos and buttondowns

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

you are supposed to wear an undershirt with a polo? that's just a collared tee

[–] blueduck@piefed.social 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You don’t wear an undershirt with your tees?

[–] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

i mean no i'm not [i'm not going to make fun of the religion here that would be rude, but i know a type]

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

You only have to if you’re at the YMCA

Kirk’s way is probably regulation. Here is a pic of mirror Archer wearing the green tunic without an undershirt. He looted it from the Defiant.
