Star Trek Social Club

Basically looks like a reskin of Stellaris, unfortunately. Of course, I love Stellaris and will probably still get this at some point lol.

Looks like Paradox is making a Stellaris-based Star Trek grand strategy game!

Here's the "official game trailer" for Star Trek: Infinite, the new strategy game that was announced a couple days ago. Looks like it comes out on PC this fall.

A while ago I joined a star trek themed group which works with kids and teenagers. We mainly do missions that focus on teaching the kids stuff.

This Tricorder is meant as a tool and has different sensors included

• Temperature
• Ultrasonic distance
• gas sensor
• NFC Reader
• compass

Sadly, there are still many problems but I'm kinda proud about the result. When I've got some some spare time I'll work on a second version

To celebrate Picard day ( my first time celebrating it ) I wanted to give my thought on TNG so far. I’m about done with the first season and there’s been a lot of good episodes and some episodes that are pretty boring ( sorry 😢 ) however every episode Captain Picard is the reason I finish it no matter if it’s a good or great episode or if it’s a boring episode. Picard is a very stern and serious character but can also be very caring and since he’s so serious when you see those moments of him being caring and nice and going out of his way for others it really shines bright and shows that Captain Picard is one of the best characters in Star Trek. Also Patrick Stewart is so good at his job!

For those of you here who think the prime directive is flawed, or could be adjusted.

What do you agree with, how would you change what you disagree with, and why?

What it says on the tin, really. I think this is going to be an issue when they get around to the smaller communities... It's going to suck majorly, as most people's default will remain with reddit for community discussion like this...

Long story short: Collect/crosspost all episode discussions in /c/watchparty (or similar).

With a lot of shows I watch (not just Trek) I always found myself reading and sometimes engaging with the episode discussion, however, the meme and speculation and everything stream that came with the show-associated subreddit always was a bit much for me -- my interest waxes and wanes with things actually being on air, so I never subscribed.

A dedicated stream for that kind of stuff would be very much welcomed, also a low-churn news feed (such as "Show has been announced/renewed" etc).

So I CAN follow @startrek on my Mastodon feed but I am not sure how sustainable this will be in one feed when I really start finding interesting communities.

I've watched a lot of ST over my life and I swear this whole first contact but it's actually a warp bomb, DNA altering disguises.. Thing has been done in some previous ST series or movie but I have terrible memory? Or am I just crazy?

At the end of The Way of the Warrior, Bashir offers to make Odo’s face look like any species he wants. He defines. It seems like a wasted opportunity for Odo not to have explored his identity within the confines of being a solid. I would have loved for him to realize he could change his appearance and explore being different people without having to be a changing, instead of keeping the same face and uniform. Similarly, it would have been great for his experience of being a solid to have improved his ability to shape shift in some way. They always talk about how he has these glimmers of what it’s like to really be a rock or a hawk when he holds a shape for a long time. Was him being a solid for a long period ever addressed in that way?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this idea.

I, for one, am happy to be here.

While it was possibly just for the sake of naturalistic dialogue, the Una/Pike scene was definitely written in such a way that it hyped up their ideal lawyer - intentionally circling but not stating their identity - a she, who is avoiding their calls.

"Did you manage to contact her?" "She's avoiding my calls." "Mine too."

Is this going to be some kind of deep cut cameo? Can anyone recall a TOS era (or ENT depending on species) female character who was or could now logically be a lawyer?

This is a bit of an ad, but I swear I don't sponsor H&I. I just use them a lot. My wife and I bought "bunny ears"/an antenna for our TV when we lived in the Midwest. We also watch H&I on the west coast. Almost every night they play one episode from each popular, live-action, series in order of production: TOS, TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise. The start time depends on your location, but I believe it starts around 7pm Central Time.

It has commercials, but I don't mind since the shows are "free" over the airwaves. I haven't tested in the east coast but I bet a lot of the country has some coverage.

Our antenna also has some MacGuyver, Stargate, Baywatch, and some other popular old shows. I just think it's cool that we can have access to such great shows with a one-time cost (and commercials). It's also great because it works during internet issues (as a backup if streaming is failing). My wife and I often just left it on in the background while we worked or made dinner!

What are your favorite time travel episodes? Also what are your least favorite?

In April, the Roddenberry Archives and OTOY published virtual bridges you could walk around for most main ships we see on screen. But now, when I follow old links to the site, I get redirected to the Roddenberry Archives new frontpage, and I can't find the virtual bridges anywhere. Google finds several news articles of the publication, but nothing on them being taken down (except a link to r/StarTrek, but I can't read that because the sub is private).

So, why were the virtual bridges taken down, or are they just hosted elsewhere?

A note about episode discussions on startrek.website

Right now, the plan is to post the /c/startrek discussion when the episode drops on Thursdays. Once the global community has had some time to watch and digest what they've seen, the /c/daystrominstitute discussion will go live on Sundays for a more in-depth analysis. This is subject to change as we evaluate what works best for the community as a whole.
