/c/TenFoward: 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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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. 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
IMO it makes more sense if the humans in Star Trek are unreliable narrators.
How is it possible that a teenage mechanic can improve engine efficiency by 5% messing around in his spare time? Why didn't the engineers whose full time job it is to build the engines figure that out?
In fact, cosmic radiation in space drives all humans insane. They truly believe they're doing science experiments, but stuff goes wrong because they're just jamming random household items into the engine.
Because Wesley is space magic.
TBH, we regularly see teenagers in places come up with breakthrough ideas currently. It's not weird at all. Estabilished engineers and academia have momentum. They are set in their ways and tend to see things as they always were. We even have famous examples of this where the Theory of Evolution was ridiculed for many years before being grudginly accepted. Einstein rejected quantum theory etc.
