TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Without dampers, the entire crew become jam splotches on the back walls when the enterprise makes any maneuver
And yet, "inertial dampeners offline" is a really common phrase in Star Trek shows.
To the point that you can literally get it on a shirt.
Yeah, but they're maneuvering at appreciable fractions of the speed of light when they travel at impulse, so there's no way anyone survives if they're all offline. They have to mean that the primaries are offline, or they're offline in certain sections, or something like that.
Well somehow those certain sections always include the bridge.
Can't possibly be the bridge as a whole. When I said "certain sections," I meant, like, every third square centimeter or something. If the entire bridge inertial dampeners were completely offline, our heroic crew wouldn't be jumping madly across the bridge, they'd be a thin paste of organic material on the wall.
Actually, having individual sections fluctuating could explain some of the wilder dives Kirk & Co did during battle sequences, now that I think about it.
