This is everything.
>>217396432Starfleet burned local?
>>217396432Also a hologram that remembers pre burn Starfleet.Also a time traveler who remembers pre burn Starfleet
>>217396432>pre-burn StarfleetThe fuck does this mean? I haven't watched any nu-Trek at all (thankfully)
>>217396432>>217396469>>217396472
>>217396432>average Star Trek fan:
>>217396494>dilithium-connected kid had a big sad and accidentally made warp cores go boom all over the universeIt really was as stupid as that. The whole of modern Trek should be burned.
>>217396432>>217396472They remember an alternate universe?
>>217396432There's nothing technically wrong with a cute quirk chungus nigh immortal cougar as a captain. Problem is that she's handled poorly.>>217396472The doctor? Ugh, dude is the C3-PO of the star trek universe and is conceptually a terrible idea. Holograms should have a built in experiation date and using them like the doctor should have been banned and treated like an inhumane action on par with genetic engineering. Time traveler? Who didn't try to prevent the burn? All kinds of bad implications unless they are in some kind of alternate space where they send people to various alternate timelines to catalogue and keep track of how things progress so they can protect the prime timeline they come from.
>>217396494Discovery fucked up so bad they just teleported them 500 in the future, where all dilithium was "burned up" all at once and everything went back to pre warp.Which itself was terribly dumb because there was plenty of alternate tech by then.
>>217396432>Not lolibabaCowards
>>217396519>Time traveler? Who didn't try to prevent the burn?They got sent through time. They did not do the sending.
>>217396521And dilithium was never necessary for warp travel to begin with. It's just part of the electrical power source.
>>217396560I thought it regulated the matter/antimatter reaction. Thy use it because it had subspace properties that made it a lot more efficient than anything else. Without it the reactions went off the rails
>>217396585The whole anti-matter system is just power generation. It's based on actual real world science theory, not magic. It just makes power, to feed to the coils in the nacelles. The nacelles aren't made of anything exotic.
Nothing after tng should be considered cannon
>>217396510>>217396521The romulans dont use dilithium, do they? Why didnt they take everything over?
>>217396601I know, but the reaction by conventional means, as in Cochrane's warp ship, hits a limit of efficiency at warp 2. In order to get more power and higher warp the reaction had to be regulated quicker and dilithium is the best way to do that.
>>217396630Romulus and most of the Star Empire got blown up by the supernova in that JJ movie.
Is there some mutant freak species of star trek watcher who started with 2009 and just went from there never going back to the original shows/films?
>>217396585>>217396601The dish on the front of the ships collect hydrogen from the interstellar ether. A stream of hydrogen is pushed across the dilithium, which gives them half matter and half antimatter. That is the only unusual thing that the fictional substance of dilithium does. All the special ship systems serve to either control how much hydrogen is being split, or to store the very dangerous volatile antimatter that was produced. The antimatter is stored with magnets, with is intentionally in alignment with how real world antimatter is treated. Original Trek had whole episodes with Scotty having to deal with how dangerous the antimatter was. Next gen came up with a "warp coil" that they could eject into space to quickly rid themselves of the dangerous parts, but it's basically antimatter storage with some pressure valves. >>217396637It's the choice that the starfleet engineers came up with at the time, but it's based on 1960's tech. Even in next gen, the Romulans used artificial singularities to harvest zero point energy. They have fathomless ways to make power, including just bigger nuclear reactors, or even shoveling matter into the transporter and just letting it remain as power instead of converting it back into matter. The transporters theoretically would be even more powerful than antimatter if leveraged that way. The whole idea of the burn is complete bullshit, because they have so many alternatives that it should boggle the mind. They gave up on the Federation because someone forgot their phone charger.
From that pic I assume they made her a smartass laidback girlboss and the age thing is just a way to justify the behavior because her old age gave her some "enlightened perspective" that other races don't get, or something along those lines.
>>217396766They gave her 2 seconds of being "by the books" in order to generate a pointless serial plot that they could drag everyone through, and then proceeded to characterize her as someone that ignores all rules in every other scene or situation.
>>217396766Nah, I'm betting they wrote her character to be the always quirky carol kane, who is the only other lanthenite to be shown, but she didn't want to sign on to a new show, so they made this character.
>>217396496back to your containment thread
>>217396521>>217396510What the fuck? What do you mean a kid? Is this kid a young Q or some other superpowered, ascended race?
422 year old space MILF sitting on my face
>>217396432Who the fuck watches Star Trek? Grampa, are you still alive? Are you there?
She must be shit if she's 422 and just made Captain.
Truly full of great characters.
Will never understand why anyone would create such a hologram...
>>217397392Some games have a "randomize" button on the character creation screen.
>>217396901No, just a kid who looked like that tall, lanky alien on Discovery. He developed a connection with dilithium. Then his parents were murdered I think, he had a freakout and the dilithium went inert. So any ship that used it couldn't regulate their warp core reactions and blew up.
>>217397392She should lay off the holocake.
>>217396560Yes it was. It was always necessary for warp travel and this was explicitly stated several times in the shows. It was a plot point for The Voyage Home, which is why Uhura and Chekov had to steal photons from the Enterprise's nuclear reactors.
>>217397392Literally AI's fault
>>217396616DS9 and its a deal.
>>217396500Do you have that picture saved on you device? That would be pretty weird...
Fluctuating between 4.8 - 4.9 IMDB
>>217397604Of course they would. It's their job.
