Okay who the fuck replaced my holodeck file with 100 copies of some shit named âAnne frank pregnant atticâ?

>>64357335Well whoever did it can go fuck themseves. They deleted the fully functional catalog of every human made weapon from BCE to First Contact. I hope this Anne frank Bint was worth deleting valuable history
>>64357318Yeah but it was made only for left handed people which is why it was fucked.
>>64357443We live in the age of replicators you fucking retard. Just type in the gun and say âleft or right handedâ and itâll make it. Jesus Christ thatâs easy

Captain, once again I have submitted the request for allowing me to access to replicating historical items.This time i have attached the projections of Borg boarder casualties as a result of me filling the bulkheads in engineering with Claymores and adding M67 Fragmentation grenades to the standard armament of our tactical squads.
>>64357564I think they got wiped in ww3, or immediately after in the post Atomic horror. That's right Star Trek history has a period referred to as the post Atomic horror.
>>64357681Well at least someone didn't review 2 Klingons 1 Targ.
>>64357706Fuck the borg use it on romulans. Least then you can use it multiple times.
>>64357728Borg 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.Wouldn't be the weirdest shit on this ship, not by a light-year.

>>64357911Hasn't The Chief suffered enough? He's the only senior NCO in Starfleet, and he's got enough on his plate. Pick up a mop and do your bit. Chief will thank you for it, even if he never hears about it.
>>64357812>shields have to be up in battle to defend against everything else being shot at you>transporters don't work when shields are upSimple as.
FOR THE LAST TIMEDON'T TRY TRANSPORTING POO OUT OF YOUR BOWLS OUT INTO SPACEI don't CARE what state the toilets are in, I had to send 2 people to the infirmary in critical condition because they thought they could reliably localize a transport field entirely in their large intestine without clipping a good chunk of it and god knows what else.wait hold up>uh huh>yeah>understood, thank you doctorCorrection, ONE in critical condition AND ONE DEAD
>>64358115I'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.
>>64358115Speaking of Poop friendly reminder that solid waste aboard our ship is reconstituted and re matterized into replicator supplies. Have fun eating in the mess hall, itâs taco Tuesday :)
>To whoever is replicating high-explosives and leaving them around the ship's crawlspaces; this is a place of work in highly dangerous situations, not a daredevil playhouse. Please cease immediately or you will be detained and prosecuted.>>64358146Shields block transporters
>>64358150What do you think the chemicals forming the plants and meat, gathered organically today in RL, used to be before they became food?
>>64358146You should have a read of the Known Space books (if you haven't already) several of those go in to very niche uses of an equivalent to the transporters (food delivery / table clearing / buildings with no need for corridors / waste removal / ship refuelling)
>>64358146has anyone ever considered how much o'brien looks like Jeremy Clarkson
>>64358146>instantly removing large parts of your enemies brains/lungs/hearts>ensign transport thier heads directly to the spikes on the bowYeah, naw. Not even Kirk.
>>64358146>>64358155Mine has always been>Beam a live photon torpedo directly next to a targets shields and detonate it the moment transport is complete
>>64358161I liked the 'World Out of Time' Dikta transporter that transported the cellular debris out of my body and I'm young again.
>>64358146I think teleporters at that time are only able to recognize a full person as a whole then say a specific part of their body.
>Be on Federation ship>Have Holodeck and Replicator Technology>Holodecks can simulate an area larger than the room that they're in>Crew can interact with objects in the Holodeck as if they were real>For some reason crew quarters aren't holodecks that get shutdown during Yellow / Red Alert with basic sleeping accommodation in the event of power issues
>>64357318Look, when in doubt, set your phaser to maximum. I know Starfleet frowns on excessive force, but following the regs wonât make dying feel better.
>>64358146I always figured transporters were too slow and required too much precision to be practical as reaction-time weaponsTransporting 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.
Sex with BOTH of the Klingon sisters.
>>64358161I hadn't heard of, or encountered, them before. Thanks for the recommendation. Is the 'Three Books of Known Space' a good place to start with that series?>>64358174>Captain, Klingon boarding parties have transported onboard the Enterprise! >Shall I deploy security teams to fight them? >"No. Transport every Klingon lifesign that isn't Worf out into space">Sir?>"I'm sure that the computer can handle that, do it in sequence if you don't think that we can transport all of them at once">A few seconds later a large number of Klingons appear directly in front of the Enterprise, visibly outraged at such a dishonorable death, and screaming profanities with their last breath that nobody will ever hear>Picard turns to the replicator "Tea, Earl Gray, Hot">Just another day in Starfleet. 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). >>64358187That still doesn't stop us weaponising them, see above.
>>64358210Holodecks consume a lot of power, IINM The Enterprise was the exception for having these holodecks on-board rather than the rule.Besides, using holodecks as your living quarters means you'll have a crew of Broccolis
Hey guys, I just gassed a planet of innocent civilians to prove a point to that faggot Eddington. Do we have anymore torpedoes?
they should make gay sex with com badges on and call it the USS Menterprise
>>64358157Iâm ware but thereâs less steps from poop from your ass to food on your tray when replicators are involved then thousands of years of cultivating
>>64358230I never said it wouldnât stop us from weaponizing them as shown multiple times in trek. I was simply stating that with what we have seen teleporters cannot pinpoint a human organ or another species organ precisely. Personally I love the idea of teleporting shit into the enemys ship or somewhere and detonating it. Even better if itâs a huge ass explosive.
>>64358237Based. Fuck Eddington.
>>64358237>Do we have anymore torpedoes?Ask Voyager, they have a seemingly infinite supply. If Janeway bitches about transporting them over, remind her she also seems to have an infinite supply of shuttles as well
I've heard of turret-toss olympics but this is getting ridiculous
>>64358230It'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.
>>64357318Transporter signals powered by a fucking space ship can be blocked by technology the size of your thumb.

>>64358334That 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. >You can build very small radio jammers, sure>But you push enough watts through the radio and the jammer won't really do anything significant

I'm going to go AWOL and join the Maquis.
>>64358392One 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.
>>64358230>The only reason I can see that anybody has any problems at all in the showsThere's also the other issue, that no one saying "how has no one thought of this?!?" ever thinks beyond the very first cool clever time they do it. They're gonna do it back. 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?
>>64358146The 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.

>>64356711There's literally no difference between this federation and pic related
>>64356744I 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.
>>64361773>The hot rocks will radiate heat and keep you warm.Maybe.
>>64361773I can see the applications for replacing a lot of tools we have currently irl, but I can also see the tons of regulations and restrictions from them as well. What stopping fat joe from using his phazer meant for welding to point it at his nagging wife, charged it up to the fullest and vaporize her or little timmy playing around with it when no one is looking and accidently overloading it and blow up the house?
>>64361872>"Oi! You got a loicence for that phaser?"
>>64357318the 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.
>>64361936You've got to assume that the gun control on the average, non-frontier, Federation world (at least by the time of TNG) is the sort of thing that would make North Korea look liberal on the subject. You probably need a battery of licenses to own a laser tag set up on Earth.
>>64361708https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4NEcDO9MNAFeral Historian? Is that you?
>>64356711In 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.1) Porn, obviously.2) Call of the Counterstrike Fortress 2: Eleventy3) 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.4) Simulation sperging for rhetorical purposes.At least everybody would be getting plenty of exercise. except the spergs. Also when the faggy ebil race of the week tries to board the ship they find out the entire crew is very familiar with assault rifles and longswords.
>>64362101I would use it for the enhancement of intellect and character and the betterment of myself for all mankind and intelligent races everywhere. Like any good citizen of the UFP would. Why are you such a 21th century degenerate?
>no vicious sperg race willing to build dyson swarms just to dump unreasonable amounts of energy into making the coolest most powerful and unnecessarily expensive weapons possibleShit like guns which fire miniatured boosted fission warheads which function by smashing together subcritical masses of alloyed Californium and Americanum on contact with the enemy for a yield of about 30t per round, and fire them at 10,000rpm, and the round acts as a casaba howitzer of course.
En/g/ineering to bridge. /k/aptain, please control the security staff. They've nearly exhausted our replicators to produce obscure calibers. I'm using a box of 7.65 Longue as a coffee coaster.
>>64362125Bitch please, I only mentioned the top 4 uses for the holodeck. We're going to do in years what the Eldar took millions of years to achieve. And if the air starts tasting "pink" a little early just set course for the edge of the galaxy and enjoy the fireworks.

>>64358055I thought that they could use transporters through shields if you synchronized it with the shield frequency or something?
>>64362101I'm going to run a program that simulates a holodeck inside the holodeck, then inside that holodeck program I'll run a holodeck program that simulates a holodeck...
>>64357197>that Star Trek cartoon with the shitty art style has an episode where one of the characters is punished by having to clean the holodeck's bio filters
>>64362238Only way to do this reliably to non-Borg targets (because lmao Borg) is to have an insider, like O'Brien knowing the Phoenix's shield frequencies because he used to be stationed aboard, or the Duras sisters hacking into Geordi's VISOR to get the D's frequencies right from the engineering displays. Otherwise you're shit out of luck.
>>64362427Ricktrek the final shittier will never be canon, will never be Trek, and will never be funny.
>mfw Enterprise was my last trekI feel like I haven't missed a thing. But have heard Lower Decks is watchable.
>>64362512I'd say it's the most watchable of the nu-treks.I'd also say that that's damning with faint praise.
>>64362523>nu-trekI may binge off Hulu/we, but not going out of my way for any of it.
>>64357745>Borg shields only adapt to energy weapons. Physical force always rips them apartI'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.
>>64362212
>>64362501It was better than Discovery and most of Picard, which tells you all you need to know about "modern" Trek.>>64362512>>64362523Its main redeeming quality is that it makes fun of Trek in an entertaining way. It's good for laughs, which in all fairness was intentional and makes it at least a qualified success.
>>64358968>not wanting to fuck a thick ass bitch with a room temp IQ who can be convinced to do anything with some creative phrasingJust don't trust her with anything needing a safeword and you're good.
>>64362021Funny, his most recent video is about the Maquis.
>>64357318Indeed. Mixing teleporter tech with a slug thrower is about perfect.
>>64362453That 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.
>>64358334Maybe it just fucks with reintegration, a mass going at a fraction of light speed doesn't really need to become a solid again to undo a soft target.
>>64362548>We have zero evidence that the Borg cannot adapt to physical forceI 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.
>>64357602
I wish this was a full RPG. I hope there's a sequel at least.
>>64362714Honestly, 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.
>>64356711bros did i fuck up?I met this orion-chick on riza and she somehow convinced me to exchange my fedcreds for some latinum chips and buy this "genuine" romulan distruptor.
>>64362560STD was a very apt abbreviation and Picard was physically painful to watch so I will grant you that. I hate that you're right about it being the best of recent Trek because if that's the best the content holders can do there's no hope for anything good to come ever again.

>>64362876LD is a Star Trek workplace comedy and if you approach expecting anything other than workplace comedy you're missing the point. A lot of criticism for LD is because it's not an hour long drama, which completely fails as a criticism. It'd be like criticizing TOS for not being a lesbian harem romance.

>>64362876Why does Picard hate their best character every season?
>>64362877Why have you posted a PPG from Babylon 5?
>>64362912I hated it because the comedy is bad, the characters are unlikeable, the art style is trash, and the writing comes off as woke/dei slop in a setting where humanity has moved beyond that kind of shit because it finally unified. It does feel like a love letter to Trek which is more than STD or Picard, but so is a bad fanfic.

>>64358876>Computer, load holodeck program "seven of nineMore like six of nine, am i rite?
>>64356744Why not just use the type 1 if there's literally no recoil?
>>64358392I 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.
>>64362912I think the fact that it still manages to keep the ethos of Star Trek despite being a comedy is remarkable. I handwave bits of canon I hate already, so I'll overlook the more egregious gags.

>>64362912LD has the same problem as all modern trek it's too cynical and in my option too rick and morty. I hear the writers just read memory alpha instead of watching the shows when looking for plots as well.
>>64364243The Culture eventually dies because the robots it entrusted all of its governance behind picked a fight in the name of freedum with something that they couldn't overcome. TOS has at least three episodes decrying it as a bad idea.

>>64358237The maquis weren't innocent. Also they can just go live on the cardassian planet they gassed
>>64364290Do you even need to transport them anywhere? I don't see why you couldn't just use the transporter to atomize someone and then just hold onto their constituent molecular data and never send them anywhere. Unless I'm just a retard and have my trek knowledge wrong anyone could just delete anyone else from anywhere at any time as long as they have access to a transporter.
>>64356744It always annoyed me that none of the characters ever had an OG phaser as a family keepsake or something and used it at least once. The most I ever got was some villains like that space jew who kidnapped Data using an OG Disruptor.

Though it also shows one of multiple reasons why it's not common practice, and why Scotty managing to rig a system to do it for decades is so impressive.

>>64365661The 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."
>>64365934[Incoming schizophrenia] 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

>>64364786I 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.
>>64366741>increase the breast size of female away team members in tiny increments every time they beam out>I havent been caught yet>the results are amazing
>>64366753You 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.

>>64364786Shields block transporters. So military applications are limited.And if you want to assassinate someone not behind shields there are a million ways anyway. They give everyone with a yellow uniform atomization death rays that can melt through walls after all.
>>64359276>.... consequently
>>64366930many times shields go down for whatever reason, why don't ships use that opportunity to beam explosives onto the enemy ship or beam enemy bridge/engineering crew into space?I know I know, it's social commentary with a slap of sci-fi paint but the real life implications of transporters would be quite disturbing.
>>64367071There was one of the original series novels (with Robert April commanding and Kirk's dad as first officer) where they beamed a limpet mine into the warp core of an enemy fleet carrier, completely destroying it
>>64366786>>64366874I knew that was April. Goddamn I miss that slut.
>>64365934I am not reading all that bullshit. Lower Decks and Prodigy aren't like DISCO or Picard. Don't run your mouth if you don't know what you're talking about.

>>64367071Because 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.
The captain should establish strict protocols for time travel anomalies because I'm tired of preventing tards from trying to help the nazis win ww2 every single time we get sucked into one of those.

To: Engineering and Tactical StaffRe: Phaser UpgradesI 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."

>>64369113Galaxy 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.
>>64369626SNW 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.
>>64369709Yeah 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.
>>64356711I cum inside alien females even in /k/. Call me a /k/ummando..
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.
>>64369812It 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.
>>64369709SNW has the best S1 and worse S3 of any Trek show.>>64369737Yeah, 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.
>>64364834I think the closest we got was Reed who was pretty much a /k/ommando.>>64369626Galaxy Quest is widely accepted as the best trek movie.
The Orville is better Trek than STD or Picard. There. I said it. Even with the troon shit stuffed into the third season.

>>64371303Shut up, you know you would.
>>64362877>post disruptors>disruptorsWTF is the difference?Is it just the handle?
>>64371555Different 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.
>>64371555Phasers 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'.
>>64362101As 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.
>>64371689Phasers 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.

>>64372345>sinking into deeper and deeper levels of fetish horrorYep, 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"

>>64358334If just one percent of the signal is lost between beam up and beam down, whoever is getting transported is going to have a very, very bad day.

>>64372345if 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.
>>64373974>psst, I have a preban holosuite with celeb profiles!
>>64373974The 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 plantsWhat?
>>64374303he 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.
>>64357318Been awhile since I watched this but didnât starfleet outlaw it for being âtoo deadlyâ or something equally gay?
>>64374310Oh yeah I know about that one, I thought he was referencing some ds9 lore or something.
>>64374319No, it lost out to a competing project.
>>64374319>>64373974Iâm 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 doesnât mesh with either an authoritarian state or a limp wristed libtopia.
>>64374511It makes sense that anyone you can trust to pilot a warp craft can be trusted with a machine gun.
>>64356744First get rid of that phaser crap and replace it with goood old fashion disruptors.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcpvuZNO0Zc
>>64367626>fleet carrierI didn't know trek had strike craft. I know they have some shuttles of various sizes but i thought those where all just runabouts
>>64374319IIRC 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.
>>64374319The 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.
>>64374617They had them in the tabletop games and blame DS9 for making them a thing.
>>64374523Yet, 'Mudd's Women' established it is a crime to operate a space craft without a pilot's license.
>>64372298>computer tries to run this program>confederates keep siding with nazis
>>64374617This 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>>64374617Fighters 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.
