MikeJF posted:The deal with the Maquis is that the writers didn't want to make the Federation actually problematic, so they chickened out on setting the Maquis up with legitimate grievances, so they all ended up being selfish dumbasses. Making the federation problematic is how we get Picard. So I would say in this instance the writers made the right call.

Lot of genocide apologists in this thread... They STARTED OUT wanting to eradicate basically everything in our galaxy (good luck with THAT, surely at some point even some of the Q would intervene?) but then we see that they learned empathy, or something, when they copied Starfleet Academy and went whole hog on the method-acting when they pretended to be humans/Vulvans/Bolian.

The other episode we watched had the ship moving through a very large expanse of space with nothing in it, driving the crew crazy. Janeway sulks in her dimmed quarters for weeks or months? not sure but long enough for the crew to wonder what the hell, which probably helped form Mulgrew's opinion of how she was written. Another really solid episode other than this questionable bit about the captain. A space garbage man is using a wormhole to dump radioactive waste into the area poisoning the species living there. Voyager ends up blasting the ship and closing the wormhole while the local species finishes him off. Janeway says "time to take out the garbage". Cold!

Facebook Aunt posted:No, you got it. They are people who colonized planets on the very fringe of Federation space, then demanded full Federation protection. When there was a boarder war that was settled and a few colonies wound up on the wrong side of that boarder they simply refused to move. Most of those colonies were well under a century old. As Federation citizens the Federation was happy to handle the logistics of moving them to lovely new colonies. They don't think they should have to move. The funny thing is that their numbers were always chickenshit and yet they seemed to think that they should control entire planets and moons. 300 people with a planet to themselves but they absolutely will not accept being moved to another planet and having to share even though these groups could all get a continent to themselves. So, just another day in settler colonialism

I've had a lot of time recently due to some health issues and I used some of it to try to track down a Star Trek game I played as a kid. I've tried this before and been utterly at a loss. It had to have been some weird knock off my parents bought from some guy in a train station or something. It came on a 3.5 inch disk It was launched from Dos Graphics were very basic, just little icons of ships with circles around them to represent their shields, set on a black space background It only involved space combat, phasers and photon torpedos It was set in the TOS-era You could play as a constitution-class Starfleet ship, a Starfleet starbase, and maybe a Romulan or Klingon ship? I know you fought Romulans and Klingons There couldn't have been more than 3 or 5 scenarios you could play Gameplay was, again, very basic. Use photon torpedos or phasers. Kill the enemy. I liked the starbase because it had tons of torpedos Does this ring a bell to anyone? Anyone?? I looked on Wikipedia and every Star Trek computer game they had listed bore no resemblance to this one. It was very simple, almost as simple as those little handheld things you could buy in the 90's where you beep boop dropped bombs on tanks or something. However, I played it on my PC.

I remember the Romulan warships being green and the Starfleet ships being white, I remember them being cool little drawings on the screen. I especially remember how they had circles around them that represented their shields, because once your shields were gone you were screwed.

Powered Descent posted:WinTrek, maybe? Play in browser: https://archive.org/details/win3_WINTREKJ No, I wish. It had to have been some unlicensed kludge that I'll never find again. One of the big commonalities between a lot of these old games is that starbases are places you go to to resupply. In the game I'm trying to find, the Federation starbase was a playable ship. Except it couldn't really move around fast, as opposed to the other options.

Funny, I was just thinking about an old game I couldn't find. It was a top down one that I think was star trek themed, but your ship was stationary and you would shoot torpedoes at an angle and power level, and you had to hit the klingons on the other side, but there were planets in the way and you had to use gravity to make your shot hit. That ring any of your bells?

Would it be Begin, A Tactical Starship Simulation? When I check the YT playthroughs, I see both the green starships and the shield circles mentioned.

It sounds like this game I used to play which was Star Trek with the numbers filed off for legal reasons. The ships all had roughly similar stats but the Klingon and Romulan ones had cloak in exchange for slightly worse stats.
