Captain, once again I have submitted the request for allowing me to access to replicating historical items.

Borg shields only adapt to energy weapons. Physical force always rips them apart, which is why those two security ensigns on third shift rotation are always arguing about katanas versus claymores for fighting them. I think I saw one of them carrying a katana too.

I'm still amazed that nobody in the setting thought to use transporters as a weapon. Even if instantly removing large parts of your enemies brains/lungs/hearts etc. is a little too grizzly for Starfleet sensibilities then just transport them out into hard vacuum, it's basically everything that exists outside of the ships hull, and besides - fuck those guys, they got what they were asking for.

If that's still too unpleasant for Starfleet regulations then just transport them into a holding cell, and remove their weapons in transport (something that's apparently a trivial problem for them). Shit, strip them naked when you put them down in the brig; just as a laugh.

Look, when in doubt, set your phaser to maximum. I know Starfleet frowns on excessive force, but following the regs won’t make dying feel better.
>>
>>64358146
I always figured transporters were too slow and required too much precision to be practical as reaction-time weapons
Transporting a thug holding people hostage right into a holding cell? sure, transporters can even "filter" things like weapons and diseases mid transport.
But if a phaser is a practical option it's virtually guaranteed to be faster, more effective and with fewer opportunities for some mishap.

Yes, Star Trek tech is just that retardedly overpowered. The only reason I can see that anybody has any problems at all in the shows are either authorial fiat, them being deliberately dumb, or Star Fleet's talent for writing just the perfect regulation to get in the way of the simple and straightforward solution to the problem at hand (possibly the most realistic part of the show).

It's some of the earlier stories so won't have some of the more advanced tech. They all form a fairly continuous narrative set over hundreds of years with multiple perspective characters (occasionally crossing over with each other, or with concepts, equipment, etc.) but as long as you start at one of the first books within a sequence you should be okay to dip in and out (I started with Ringworld for instance). The only exception is the Fleet of Worlds series as that is effectively the finale for it all, and you'll be confused if you haven't read everything leading up to it.

That never made sense to me. Surely it's a matter of output, rather than some kind of ontological countermeasure? I'm pretty sure that any warp core (which can pump out the basically infinite energy their alcubierre drives need to work) can brute force its way past anything even vaguely man-portable.

One of the problems with the matter stream is that it can be scrambled by even minor things like magnetic shields and electromagnetic pulses. It's less the jammer and more of a fundamental limitation of transporter technology, no matter how much energy you pump into it. A good operator can work around some of the lesser stuff but there's still hard stops in the physics its built on.

Everyone's gonna do it, if it's possible and people are willing. Some peoples only interaction with scifi is trying to speedrun coming up with a super weapon and then assuming only they get to use it for some reason.

It's like when people play something like DnD and come up with "why don't I just summon the water into their lungs?". Well why don't they? Did you think that far ahead? Would you like to encounter the liche and then you all instantly die from water on the brain? Or, can we just reasonably assume that aside from television censors, there's probably some kind of reason they don't do that?

The Feddies are actually The Culture-level civ and could easily wipe out all life in the Alpha Quadrant if they so wishes. The only reason they don't is for entertainment. They send lightly armed cruiseliners as "explorers" and even then they still wipe the floor of so-called warrior races. Same reason why Feddies don't use Tricobalt torpedoes.

I do like the idea of phazers.
They are really multifunctional.

Thight beam and low power will allow you cut trees like a chainsaw. Wider beam to set the wood on fire and you have a fireplace. If you have no wood or other flammable materials, just set it on medium setting and wide beam and just use it to heat some rocks. The hot rocks will radiate heat and keep you warm.

Just keep changing the power setting and it becomes a blowtorch, a welder, a flashlight, a scalpel, a mining tool to bore through rock... Lots of applications.

And of course the weapon applications: It can be a taser, a blinding flash device, overload it and it turns into an IED. Power settings vary from "Just sting him a bit" to "Vaporize his entire body". Then there is the pulse mode and wide-beam options so you can shoot it as a concentrated projectile, a laser-like beam or a wider shotgun-like area effect.

Man, if these were a real thing, they would be part of every survival kit.

the engineering department has decided upon the wisdom of not informing the retards that "the perfect infantry weapon" can be replicated in the replicator; especially since the Federation already has the plans and this is a military ship. if Latinum is required for manufacture then they will just go make a few trades with the Ferrenghi.

the aforementioned wisdom does include loaning the weapons out for favors.

In libtard lalaland the holodeck is used as a fancy interactive play for theatre kiddies. In in reality it would be use for four things in order.

2) Call of the Counterstrike Fortress 2: Eleventy
3) This year's "you're an undead monster in a dying medieval shithole world who eats souls to level up and are plotting to kill God so you can replace Him" game.

I'm going to have a 'tism moment here. We have zero evidence that the Borg cannot adapt to physical force. We see two instances of physical force in First Contact, Worf on the hull and Picard in the holodeck, both of which are isolated instances and in the case of Picard might not actually be physical objects interacting with the drones.

That shouldn't matter unless you're trying to bypass an adversary's shields. The context was using the transporter to transport hunks of metal into space in front of torpedoes as a type of point defense. That scenario involves using your own transporter through your own shields.

If I'm understanding the technobabble, it should be possible to configure your own transporter to work through your own shields to transport a chunk of metal into the unshielded space directly in front of an incoming torpedo.

>>
>>64362548
>We have zero evidence that the Borg cannot adapt to physical force
I suspect it boils down to ease of deployment of the adaptation and a cost/benefit analysis of the adaptation. If the adaptation is to just push a hotfix to the drones' pre-existing energy shields, then the drones should be able to adapt near instantaneously at near zero cost. But if the adaptation requires swole giganigga drones, then that might take more time and effort to deploy. In the short term you might enjoy success, but if your forces are routinely defeating the borg with swords then eventually you're going to find yourself facing off against giganigas.

Honestly, my headcanon is the Borg use wireless energy transfer to buff whatever drones are in range and taking fire. A single drone can adapt but is hard limited by the amount of power it can produce that can be spared to its shields but a group of drones will divert surplus power to one or two drones functioning as point man who can now tank multiple phaser hits set at maximum regardless of frequency adaptation.

LD is a Star Trek workplace comedy and if you approach expecting anything other than workplace comedy you're missing the point.

I always assumed it was that whatever they use to jam a transporter doesn't fully cut out the possibility of transporting something, but adds enough interference to the signal that a non-zero chance of anomaly would happen to whatever's being transported. It may not even be a high risk or a dangerous anomaly, but Starfleet wouldn't take that risk on someone's life or health, and therefore won't risk using the transporter in that scenario.

The entire point of Trek was always a hopeful look at a future where humanity survived its own destructive impulses and ascended to the stars as unified peaceful explorers. Hope in progress, science, the enlightenment of cultural understanding, the belief that we as a species can become more and better. It's kind of the entire overarching subplot of Q in TnG. Nu-Trek is bitter. It's dark and presents a bleakness that the future won't actually get and stay better, that everything will just slide back towards dystopia. I get it, TnG and its contemporaries were a mirror of the time they were made. Post 9/11 the American outlook on the world got worse and it's just accelerating. Having media reflect that instead of providing a message that while shit is bad now we can make it better especially with a series that has always been about that hope is what makes me, at least, hate it so much. I don't want to watch "in the grim darkness of the 24th century shit goes bad again", I want to watch "We know shit is bad now, we can discuss it through the lens of scifi, and we can promise it's possible to get better."

It's all an element of control to make people docile. The increase in media that feature dystopias (especially franchises that used to be at least vaguely utopian) is for two reasons:
- So people think "Sure, I'm living in an increasingly horrendous surveillance dystopia, but at least it's not as bad as THAT dystopia"
- So they don't have a template to define the kind of society they want the future to actually be

I think one of the Next Generation episodes had a plot point where they beamed a bomb off the ship into space with the transporter set to "maximum dispersion" and the ship was saved because the molecules of the bomb were now a space cloud the size of an apartment building.
If there's settings like that then really there's no limit to the tomfuckery you could do with the transporter. Take 50lbs of plutonium and beam it somewhere at minimum dispersion so it arrives compressed into an area the size of a soda can. Beam Deanna Troi back from an away mission with the transporter set at 125% scale to make her a 6'7" Amazon. Assassinate anyone anywhere by turning them into a fine mist.

You know I was thinking about it and the societal implications are kind of staggering. No more short kings - you just slip 50 credits to the transporter operator and you beam out at 5'6" and come back 6'2".
Take a 1" thick bar of aluminum, beam it back with the dispersion turned down and you've got super aluminum - half the size but twice the density.

Because if an enemy's shields are down you might as well continue using the directed energy weapons and antimatter warheads you used to bring down their shields to destroy the ship instead of trying to use a transporter. Not only do many things other than shields interfere with transporters, ships are also limited in transport capacity.

Re: Phaser Upgrades

I have been informed by FLEETCOM in no uncertain terms that the incessant flood of requisition forms for starbase-scale phaser arrays are to cease. They did say that the technical diagrams included to resolve the power delivery issues are a novel and creative approach and warrant further research. However, they said, and I quote, "Even if we were inclined to chop out three decks to fit the thing in, it'd be getting done at drydock and not by your crew while out on patrol."

Galaxy Quest was more trek than STD. I'll die on this hill, feel free to die with me.

I do like SNW tho, it's woke but it isn't so fucking obnoxious about it.
>>
>>64369626
SNW is a compromise between Nu and regular Trek in that it sometimes has good stories worthy of the brand like the courtroom episode with the Number One chick, and sometimes (mostly in S3) has horrible tone-deaf meme episodes that feel like the writers saw Spock's Brain and thought that was something to emulate instead of one of the worse episodes into the show prior to STD's offerings, like the musical episode and that one where everyone turns into Vulcans while forgetting that Vulcans spend their formative years being taught logic and emotional control.
>>
>>64369709
Yeah it has some doozys in it, but it never made me say "I don't want to see the next one" like picard or std did. This last season did lean into those pretty heavy, heard it was because of the writers strike. I kinda buy it, since it didn't really go anywhere.

I will counter that trek was always woke, just that the older stuff doesn't seem so much now. The old stuff also had better writing and disguised it more than the modern hamfisted preaching.
>>
>>64369812
It was the kind of woke that didn't want to burn you at the stake for disagreeing with it though, which is a whole different beast from today's woke.
>>
>>64369709
SNW has the best S1 and worse S3 of any Trek show.
>>64369737
Yeah, it really feels like a lot of drafts that needed to either be tossed or a few more passes made it to screen in S3. The explanation I heard was that the timing of the strike and rush to get scripts done so production could begin, plus the fact that at the time they weren't even sure they were getting renewed past S3, really put the crunch on. And then despite that rush it ended up taking an extra year between seasons anyway because of the production log jam it all caused. It sounds plausible to me at least.

>post disruptors
>disruptors
WTF is the difference?
Is it just the handle?
>>
>>64371555
Different mechanism, can't say I recall exactly. I think a disruptor is more effecient at stacking bodies, but that's about all it can do. A phaser is more of a directed energy multitool that can also kill a bitch.
>>
>>64371555
Phasers fire a beam of cohesive energy, similar to a laser but rapidly pulsing.

A disruptor creates a hyper-energetic particle stream that cannot be contained for more than a few milliseconds. The containment field is ejected from the disruptor emitter and as the field decays the contained energy is released, disrupting whatever matter it contacts.

Note that words like 'disruptor' are Federation translation equivalents and the accurate translation of what a Klingon would call a 'disruptor' is more like 'vibratory destructor'.
>>
>>64362101
As usual DS9 is the best, hinting way more heavily at what people are up to in there. It's been a while but IIRC in the Bashir James Bond episode it's implied that the program is set up for him to bang the girls but he's getting cockblocked by Garak being there, and his military history programs with O'Brien are way closer to stuff modern gamers play than anything in TNG too.
>>
>>64371689

Phasers use what is effectively a rapid nadion particle beam. The exact details are kind of spotty but the TNG technical manual states nadions are subatomic particles that interact with atomic nuclei and can liberate strong nuclear forces when focused through superconducting fushigi-no-umi crystals. And yes, that is a Nadia reference because a lot of the TNG production staff were weebs.

Considering that every human not out on the frontier or in Starfleet lives in fully automated luxury space communism, and only work if they feel like it, you have to assume that there are billions of gooners living in their own personal holodecks and sinking into deeper and deeper levels of fetish horror every week as they become more and more jaded/bored.

Yep, that's why it always amused me when the guy who bought it freaks out because Kira replaced her head with Quark's. Meanwhile 90% of Holodeck users would at most go "Eh. Computer, run paper_bag.hdk"

Nah, everyone in the Federation is normie-core because they can just head down to their local urgent care and have their dopamine receptors reset. Why spend years as a goon cultivator reducing yourself to waiting for Nausicaan Shemale Fuck Slaughter Volume 2: Anal Preg Vore to drop when a quick transport and 15 minutes in a waiting room will let you get that leg shaking, full body flush, raging puberty hormones level of arousal to anyone showing a bit of skin like you did when you were 13?

if the federation is commie there are likely restrictions on holoprograms and they are monitored by the state. Probably people don't have them in home and need to go to facilities equipped for them. Limited time, ect as well as content restrictions.

The Federation isn't commie, it's post-scarcity. And what little we do get on their economics indicates an exceptionally hands-off government.
>>
>>64374202
>post-scarcity.
Yeah, it has a ton of capitalist elements, it's just that the system rewards ambition and intellectual/cultural capital. Plus different fed planets operate very differently. Risa executes motherfuckers for disturbing plants
>>
>>64374232
>Risa executes motherfuckers for disturbing plants
What?
>>
>>64374303
he got the planet wrong I don't think that was a federation planet, it comes from a tng episode where in one section of a planet all crimes that take place that day are capital crimes to keep people in line, well Wesley runs into some plants and thus sentenced to death.

>>64357318
Been awhile since I watched this but didn’t starfleet outlaw it for being ‘too deadly’ or something equally gay?

I’m pretty sure that the very same episode the rifle is introduced is the same episode that Sisko says that every Federation citizen has a right to own whatever weapon they so wish, which doesn’t mesh with either an authoritarian state or a limp wristed libtopia.

It makes sense that anyone you can trust to pilot a warp craft can be trusted with a machine gun.

IIRC it was a submission for a Starfleet requirement for a weapon that could operate in weird spatial/environmental conditions that could shut down a phaser; and it lost the bid to 'regenerative phasers' that had enough plot-armour operate in those conditions. The scanner/transporter package was strapped onto the design later, during DS9, by a traumatised Vulkan who decided that his ship had been lost due to human emotion, and was using the rifle to assassinate any human he saw smiling or happy on the station without having to leave his quarters.

Even when they were looking for an anti-Borg weapon they didn't think to dust off the TR-116 program; because Star Fleet is retarded, and procurement is just as fucked in the future as it is today.
>>
>>64374319
The reliance on transporter tech means it could probably be blocked pretty easily by people actually prepared, plus unlike a phaser there's no less lethal option for escalation of force or real secondary utility as a tool.
At that point, there is perhaps some wisdom in not making it common knowledge that you've accidentally developed the ideal assassination weapon that isn't good for much else because of the amount of havoc that could be caused if it got out there. And maybe for Starfleet Intelligence or a certain overdone group that shall not be named to have dibs too.
>>
>>64374617
They had them in the tabletop games and blame DS9 for making them a thing.
>>
>>64374523
Yet, 'Mudd's Women' established it is a crime to operate a space craft without a pilot's license.

This was an extended universe novel set pre-TOS, so take anything from it with a whole shaker of salt.
it was a Romulan ship, carrying patrol craft one class smaller than the Romulan Bird of Prey. It carried them under-wing like parasite fighters
>>
>>64374858
>>64374617
Fighters in DS9 are more akin to fast attack craft or PT boats.

DS9 was easily the worst spinoff since 'Rhoda'. The station never even went anywhere and Bjorain mysticism was shit. The prophets are a fuck, and Kai Wynn was fat bitch.
