/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.

More importantly, who gets the good stuff at Ten Forward?


(e.g. Aldebaran Whiskey, Romulan Ale, ...)

The Portside half will speak Portuguese and the Starboard side Spanish.

Ah, but the steering is on the left...

Riker: "The line isn't centre! Your side is bigger!"

Stardate 1234.56

I know that the stardate system was rather inconsistent throughout the franchise (and even from episode to episode sometimes), but that is absolutely not a TNG stardate 🤓

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 14 points 3 days ago

Fun fact, that Stardate puts them just before the original series began, and actually very, very close to the supposed date of Kirk taking command of the Enterprise.

[–] marcos@lemmy.world 11 points 3 days ago (1 children)

With all the time-traveling going on, it's a perfectly viable date.

We just have to decide if we blame Q or something else.

[–] SatyrSack@quokk.au 12 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

That just reminds me of that one time anomaly episode in which a scene begins with "Captain's log, stardate... I don't even know, time doesn't actually matter right now"

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bad deal as Helm Control is on starboard side.

More importantly, this splits the captain's chair in half!

[–] charonn0@startrek.website 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The true captain will give up the chair rather than see it cut in half.

[–] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Salomon, is that you?

[–] ummthatguy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)
[–] RomulusCornflakes@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Can’t you just move it port-wards?

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

that would be an act or aggression and would only fuel more conflict.

the clear option here is to beam the chair into space with Westley Crusher in it.

Riker and Picard are both sitting in it uncomfortably at the same time.

"Stop bumping my elbows!"

"You're the one bumping my elbows!"

Okay, I think I found it. I didn't find my copy, but this is the book I was thinking of.

I think the sharing-bridge thing actually comes from the first book in the series, and they start this book sharing, then find the other ship in the course of this novel.

[–] limelight79@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

You know, I'm pretty sure I have a spoof novel where the TOS and TNG crews end up sharing a ship, and this exact thing happens. I'll try to remember to look for it tomorrow.

[–] bingbong@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago

They’re both sitting in it

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Clever. Have the Klingons deal with the mutineers.

[–] FreddiesLantern@leminal.space 2 points 2 days ago

Ffs, we told you not to bring up nightbird.
