/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.

I’m not…I’m not following this one
I watched all of that and I still don't get it
That had a blink and you miss it scene of the wave motion gun.
The Yamoto ran it's engine energy directly to the gun. Here is a longer scene from the original TV show:
In the episode "Best of Both Worlds" it's suggested to route power directly from the core to the deflector dish and use it as a weapon against the Borg. The gag is that instead of using the internal systems to channel power, they just strap the core's output to the dish.
Edit: also, apparently an anime reference as pointed out by @Shipgirlboy@sh.itjust.works
I know the episode by heart, but I don’t understand what is strapped to the deflector, or what it has to do with the Yamato.
They photoshopped the bow of the Yamato on top of the deflector dish,
This is similar to the so called 'Holdo maneuver' from Star Wars: The Last Jedi .... where they take a rebel ship on a suicide mission of deliberating flying it into a large Imperial ship.
If spaceships can become very powerful sources of energy and exotic engines that can deliver and sustain massive amounts of energy .... eventually someone is going to want to turn it into a weapon.
If you can use the energy of a fancy star ship to propel a craft through space at very high speed, they can use the same technology to use it as a delivery system for a weapon ... or just use the energy created as a weapon itself .... or in the case of the Star Wars thing I mentioned above ... just use the entire ship as a weapon .... as Worf would have put it 'IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DIE!!!'
Also known as the Kzinti Lesson. But ship-sized missiles are ~~wasteful~~ boring, more overpowered beam weapons please
If you haven't seen Space Battleship Yamoto it fucking slaps!!
Shoop da whoop!
