/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.

Picard moves people from their generational home and also wins the day with evil space legalese
Seeing that Federation phasers are some of the weakest hand weapons in that universe, what does that say about the values of its enemies?
Federation phasers arenβt weak. The federation just prefers to stun people rather than vaporize them. Remember when Data used his phaser to shutdown that power grid? Or the time they vaporized rock with their phasers?
He phaser'd an aqueduct and vaporized something like milles of water one time.
Not to mention the times ships have used their phasers to fuck with the planet scale tectonics
Federation phasers are versatile. It's keeping in line with their whole ethos. Yes the phaser can be used as a weapon, but it also doubles as a tool.
Kinda like a shovel.
TBF, you're gonna want a spade, not a shovel. The pointed end is farrr more versatile than the flat, blunted front of a shovel.
ie. A shovel =/= a tactical spade π€πΌ
I've never seen a klingon disruptor pistol do that. Have you? or Cardie, or any one else's (though there was that time Quark was trying to sell some shoulder fire artillery...)
we don't know what kind of range or power they really have. Just like how their starships aren't warships, but they out class most other faction's warships.the other factions don't hide what they are though. (and the kind of firepower that can take out damns from miles away is simply unneeded in any battlefield at that level of accessibility.)
