/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.

I mean, Im sure at least one fan over the last 60 years have built a model and not gotten it to scale...
Like, it's actually kind of of difficult to make a model to scale, especially for a small onenits not all going to be proportional. So even if you were drawing the line at "commercially sold" I'm sure some don't meet the requirement to be within scale.
I get Shatner meant there's no "life size" model, but if someone's gonna be pedantic, it's an excuse to be pedantic back.
@givesomefucks @cosmicrookie William Shatner always struck me as someone incredibly hostile to the fanbase which made him famous and the people who are the only reason anyone gives a damn about him anyway.
Every interview I have ever read or seen video of is just him belittling people and their fandom.
That's because that's what he is. He's kind of a crappy person. Nimoy refused to speak to him the last few years he was alive because Shatner paid someone to ~~ask Nimoy questions~~ secretly record Nimoy at a convention after Nimoy turned Shatner down. This was confirmed in the book Shatner wrote about his friendship with Nimoy after he died where Shatner said "It was such a small thing Leonard". Takei has talked endlessly about how Shatner was a prick to work with on stage too.
Shatner is a shitty person
Edit: I goofed
What questions did shatner pay to have asked?
Totally on me. I misremembered and just checked. He only had the cameraman record footage, not ask questions.
Thas cweepy.
Oh I wasnt asking some sorta "gotcha" question, I just haven't heard anything about this. Why was he recording nimoy?
One more reason Picard is better
Bowser and Blue: Use Shatner in a sentence. - William Shatner purse
Because William Shatner.
There's always a scale, even if you have to Fourier transform it
