/c/TenFoward: 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. 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.

Get Quark on the viewscreen, the Nox can handle this. If he won't answer, get Voyager's Doctor on the line, it might be hard to reach him in Atlantis though. And, we know who really handles replicator problems, it's not LaForge, it's O'Brien, and if you can reach him, he might pretend he's just some simple farmer, but believe me, he's still an engineer at heart.

Just don't call in Jellico, it will not go well.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

No no no. If you're going to fight human form replicators you need someone who can fight toe to toe. Get Odo.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

He wouldn't save all the humans, just the ones who passed his absurd purity tests.

Does Starfleet have any kinetic weaponry that would be effective against replicators?

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Kinda.

Edit: Forgot that it was even used again on Lower Decks.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

I'm from the Kelvin timeline -- all I've got for you is REALLY BIG ENTERPRISE, would that help?

Any movie or episode that involves self-destruct (and it actually reaching 0) or intentionally ramming a Federation ship into another hostile ship is an instant favorite in my book

Yes. Even that movie lmao

Yes. Even that movie lmao

Rogue One?

What about an even bigger dreadnought designed to only require 5 people to operate

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

If one Dr Crusher could operate an entire Enterprise all to herself, no reason why you can't have a dreadnought that needs 3 people, or no people, but just set to ramming speed.

I think replicators can replicate kinetic weapons lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, but they don't care about low-tech weaponry.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Not in widespread use, but they have the designs for a pretty badass sniper rifle that uses a transporter to beam the bullet past obstacles and place it directly in front of the target, paired with a headset that can see through walls.

Now that I think of it, they also established in first contact that kinetic weapons are effective against the borg, since Worf's blade and Picard's holographic tommy gun were able to get past the borg defenses. Seems like maybe they should have replicated some guns and ammo, or possibly just taken some from the planet below.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Holographic bullets aren't really ballistic. The borg might have been able to adapt. Though if they were fooled by holograms and force fields, an anti-borg program could have been made that makes them get stuck in an endless non-euclidean maze (and I mean one of the interesting non-euclidean spaces) or just tear them apart by having dozens of force fields pop up through their bodies.

With all of the hologram projectors they had in Voyager, not to mention the portable one, they really didn't explore the tactical advantages they could give. You could literally make any boarding party believe they had transported to hell, or let them run around thinking they are winning and took over the ship when they are actually just standing around in the brig--or airlock.

Or have them board only to hear "warp core damage critical, breach in zero point--" then give them some kind of afterlife sequence where they settle into their new afterlife and pass time telling each other about state secrets they were privy to, now that it doesn't matter anymore.

It's kinda funny that they had holograms but didn't really ever explore any post-facts kind of themes, other than using holograms on less advanced species.

Hmm, considering the paranoia of the Cold War and beyond, there's likely several dozen bunkers in North America loaded to the gills with armaments.

I know, the gif is from Hot Fuzz in the UK, but it gets the point across.

Take any faster than light ship, ram it into something, extremely violent kinetic weapon

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 day ago

Does a Bat'leth count?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 day ago

Phasers are particle weapons so they should work as is.

Who thought giving building blocks AI was a good idea?

Look out, here they come!

Reese.

ffs watch the show /s

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Depends on the replicators. Nekkid evil Carter? I volunteer for the team.
