/c/TenForward: 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

The original statement as to not being able to replace them was silly, given federation tech. Really they should have at some point just had some throwaway line about having converted some facility to photorp production.
Even if certain components couldn't be replicated, they'd likely be able to mine/trade for them along the way. Simple as. Wrote themselves into a needless corner.
This argument always annoys me.
Of course they couldn't replace them IN THAT MOMENT, but they clearly made upgrades and changes to the ship as they traveled.
If they built an astormetrics lab, hydroponics bay, and a borg-enhanced runabout, then they could figure out how to build torpedoes.
We also see them at least once bartering for weapons and experimenting with new forms of warp travel and energy collection.
I'm sick of the torpedoes thing. We're grown-ups. We dont need a throw away line for every little thing that changes between day 1 and day 2k+
Semantics are the driving force for much of this community. It can be grating and I'm certainly not immune to it.
Thats a fair point. I just got tired of the torpedo joke when someone put it on YouTube with a smash cut of every torpedo fired, playing over bach or something.
That and I was cranky
Big agree. After season 4 they get access to all sorts of Borg ingenuity. There may but have been a line about Seven unlocking more torpedoes but they had lines about making literally everything else lol
I don't really care, but a few lines or episode about setting up manufacturing for proton torpedoes would have fixed that.
