So I decided I’m going to attempt a rewatch of TNG. I have only watched through it entirely once, with a handful of episodes I’ve rewatched a few times. Just finished up the Yar Fights A Lady To The Death episode and I forgot how janky and lovely the first season looked. And Frakes looks so young and fresh. I look forward to everything until the loving Borg shows up and I may just outright skip the season 2 finale. How much further down the timeline is DS9? Ferengi still are a mystery to the Federation in S1E5 and in DS9 they seem pretty much fully assimilated into the Federation.

DS9 premiered halfway through TNG season 6.

Yeah the whole Ferengi thing is a bit of a continuity snarl. They largely abandoned the idea of the Ferengi being a mysterious adversary by S2 of TNG.

He's quoting Gene Roddenberry, who was talking about giving Majel a terrible infection because he raw-dogged her during their honeymoon in Japan, going from back to front.

I've said it before, I think, but man alive do I love how the editor collated all the stories of Gene in 50 Year Mission. Person A: Gene was an rear end in a top hat. Person B: Gene was an rear end in a top hat. Person C: Gene was an rear end in a top hat. Person A: Gene was an rear end in a top hat, kee-rist Gene's Son / Random Gene Apologist: I don't know why everyone thinks Gene was an rear end in a top hat, he pet my dog that one time and didn't spend a half hour talking about a Dog Race that can be treated like a Dog, they love it.

The first time I heard about this, I misunderstood it as Roddenberry roping a random studio underling into informing Majel that Gene had given her an infection, which was a slightly more horrifying idea.

It's been like, what, 25 years since someone made a Star Trek game that wasn't a shooter or a space combat simulator? Star Trek is much more suited to the adventure game genre. I would say a Telltale game but lol.

FlamingLiberal posted:ST games have been almost non-existent since Activision lost the ST license and the CBS/Viacom split happened IMO though New Horizons, if it worked perfectly, would be the ultimate ST game, and considering the scope and effort involved in making those kinds of games, I can kind of understand why nobody's willing to commit to it. Star Wars games are easier because you can always fall back on "action game where you have magic powers" or "pure space combat" but neither of those would really work for ST. It really would have to be either like a Bridge Command-type game (but there's only so much you can really do with that concept), or a full-fledged galactic-scale Space Diplomacy game like Stellaris. ashpanash posted:It's been like, what, 25 years since someone made a Star Trek game that wasn't a shooter or a space combat simulator?

What the poo poo Yeah, sometimes missions go on a little too long and become by-rote, which is a problem with all MMORPGs. During mission replays, I'd like to be able to skip parts of missions and fast-forward to a mission's segments that are the most original, because they have a lot of original stuff like "figure out a logic puzzle with an abandoned shuttle's on-board computers, then escape from an arena" sandwiched between lengthy space battles. galenanorth fucked around with this message at 18:12 on Apr 16, 2019 |

Bridge commander's single player campaign was a little boring and lovely but the combat is an absolute blast. Flying a Galaxy class is all about positioning and keeping your weak/recharging shields away from oncoming fire while keeping your freshly charged phaser banks trained on the enemy. Flying a nimble Bird of Prey is all about precision strikes against the enemy's blind spots. Plus I'm sure you can still get just about any Trek ship you want through mods, including TOS era movie ships if Klingon Academy is too old and low fidelity for your standards.

I never played Bridge Commander, was it more than just a Star Trek flight sim? I feel like an X-Wing vs. Tie Fighter type game wouldn't really work that well in the ST universe. Less because it wouldn't be fun and more because I feel like that's not really what Star Trek is all about.
