Axanar owned because they went with the one actor documentary style, not despite it. It basically sidesteps every problem that cheap productions with crappy actors have and gives us a pretty clever DS9 style-story to boot.

shadow puppet of a posted:Given the number of missions that involve emergency transporter rescues, shouldn't the enterprise D have moved Picard's office to 40 feet down the hall and put in a bank of transporters in its place, so you'd not have to rely on your comm badge reaching O'Brien down in his pit to get the message and time it right? Wouldn't it help him to see a loving view screen of that which he needs to target for transport? They're probably closer to the core for <energy reasons> but more realistically, until the Saturn project, we always built our vehicles for humans and not logic and even then we still kind of do I mean why else do our rockets and space station have windows when you could put more instrumentation and other useful poo poo there. loving right it's captain's privilege. Besides, by your logic it wouldn't end at transporters. Holodecks, main engineering and the captain's quarters should just be one big open design room next to the bridge for troubleshooting purposes. e: with tin cups and rope.

Other systems? That seems kind of barbaric in comparison. A civilisation that can harness a star shouldnt need raw materials. A Dyson sphere isn't cool because of what it is (it totally is tho) but what it implies about its creators and builders. If replicators are limited by energy consumption, surely a star sidesteps that problem.

When you walked into the Star Trek thread, saw the conversation about Dyson spheres, ablative space ship armour, Klingon otakus and transporter room location design, thought to yourself "realism sucks guys", you should have walked out. You're going to focus on my usage of walk and fume silently, too.

Back to the good stuff: ezri's speech now has no weight at all after that good explanation about his culturizing. He's not the most honourable man, girl, he just buys into the lie more than any Klingon!

Phasers and torpedos only go through the shield if they match the energy phase or whatever technobabble which only really happens when you hire a man with a visor that would have been the downfall of the entire human race if geordi existed in the battlestar galactica reboot.

Yeah but those aren't really bullying, all that poo poo is just clever diplomacy. The Maquis, now they got bullied - by both sides. It's more analogous China vs South China sea than China vs Russia vs USA. Zigmidge fucked around with this message at 21:57 on Aug 26, 2015 |

Germstore posted:Who do you have to piss off to get assigned to DS9 anyway? Thinking back it seems like Sisko was the only one where this is true. Everyone else either volunteered or were brought on board for skillz. O'brien never needs to piss anyone off to get the poo poo end of the stick.

There isn't an organizational structure ron d moore wrote about that isn't hamfisted and incompetent. Even the federation becomes flawed idiots once he gets his hands on them.

Right? I wish he whistled more often, then we'd see more of that hilarious mad scientist look he gets. You know the one. We got a good look at it when he got all hot for aliens in area 51
