Why, is there a new volume of the Trek Encyclopedia being released?

I’m sorry, but it sounds to me as though you’re saying a one nacelle ship is more tolerable than a four nacelle ship, and I just can’t take anything seriously after that.

At least with four nacelles you can understand how they’re generating the warp field between them, but one? Does it have two sets of warp coils inside the single nacelle? All Starships are beautiful in Gene’s eyes, but I believe there are some he chooses not to look upon.

5 Olympic-class
4 Parliament-class
3 Centaur-class
2 D'Deridex-class Romulan Warbird
1 TOS Romulan Bird-of-Prey (the updated version seen in PIC and SNW is also great)

I also want to give an honourable mention to the Niagara-class, which is a three nacelle abomination. When I started running my Star Trek Adventures game, I choose the Niagara-class because I wanted something relatively unique which still that communicated to the players they weren't in a top of the line, prestigious ship. It's been just over two years since we started playing the adventures of the USS Dauntless (yes, I know, but it's not that Dauntless), and the ship has really grown on me.

Oh damn, someone is going to summon some damn Cenobites!

Smart of you, OP, to not include Morn in this because we all know he'd be the only choice for both Fuck and Marry.

You'd be probably better off posting this to the Star Trek discussion community as opposed to the memes and shitposts one.

You're correct. Have a time out.

Why do you feel like an expectation of a minimal level of respect for other people is a threat?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That bit of lore is completely silly. Humans share a common ancestor with bananas if we go back far enough, and "The Chase" proposes to go back even further than that. Still a good episode, though.

However, nothing in Disco's Klingon's undoes that. We saw Klingon precursors when Worf was devolved into one in "Genesis" -- another episode that has a Hollywood writer's understanding of evolution -- and he had an exoskeleton, mandibles, and spit acid.

There is no other Trek that follows that name convention. We don't call "Voyager" STV or "Enterprise" STE. For me to believe that someone had a) never seen someone use STD applied to Disco pejoratively and, b) decided to use that abbreviation when DIS, DSC, and Disco are all far more common, I would have to be convinced that this is their first week discussing Star Trek on the internet.

I mean you can choose to respect people's pronouns or you can choose to no longer be a member of this community. What is unclear?
