I wonder if there was a holodeck programme that was their equivalent to an MMO? Like playing with people from different ships/nearby bases within a few lightyears of eachother. I guess it would depend on how subspace communication works exactly.

Ambrose Burnside posted:i think you have a bad imagination too, b/c ds9 correctly handles holodecks by starting from the position that they are almost exclusively for crazy sex simulations and even mentioning a holodeck in polite company is a faux pas Like that time they had that massive 20+ person orgy with Sisko's rival Vulcan Captain and his crew, or the time the legendary Klingon Warrior who was 200 years old by that point, hosed hundreds of people in a recreation of one of the great historical orgies of the Klingon Empire.

How come it took me over 20 years to notice that Betazoid eyes are black? I remember the Voyager murderer betazoid had them but I thought it was just him having crazyeyes.

Amazon Studios is developing a TV show based on Galaxy Quest So clearly people capable of market research in 2015 know that there is a market for nostaligic episodic SciFi ships n' spacesuits TV. Fuckin' Paramount and their teletype machines and mimeographs don't have a clue what people want and are going to put out something soft boiled by around 2042. Probably "Captain Worf's Grandson, Ensign Mogh Brought To you By Norinco Diet Cola Flavor Clean Water Brands with 50% Less Lead"

It gets really bad as the season goes on and Paul Feig the creator is clearly angling for Dan Harmon without being anywhere as good as Dan Harmon--and I say that as someone who got bored of Community after Season One and is lukewarm on Rick and Morty--but is definitely worth a watch if you're a fan of ships n' suits sci-fi. mind the walrus fucked around with this message at 09:43 on Aug 29, 2015 |

Tyrannosword posted:Going back a few pages to the whole "This is how they'd fight a war!" thing, was there ever any documented use of the transporters as weapons? Seems to me you could do a lot of damage with those - beaming explosives directly into the enemy's chest cavity, for example, or just locking onto an enemy, converting their matter into energy and beaming that energy wholesale into the middle of an enemy ship for maximum explosive fun (there must be a whole lot of energy buried in the atoms of a humanoid body). You could literally use enemy soldiers as ammunition to blow up their comrades! They did that on Stargate SG-1/Atlantis, by the way. The Asgard put a limit on the technology to avoid such things, but the resident Asgard disabled them so they could just beam a loving shitload of nukes directly onto enemy ships. It was hilarious for part of an episode.
