We gladly adapt to the Ewok method of fighting off invaders. Maybe throw in a little Kara Thrace on New Caprica.

They look great! For the oddest reason that *I can’t put my finger on*, I’ve been on a TMP kick of late…

To be fair, the lighting on the memorial map really sells the whole “this is a tomb in a graveyard” angle.

I live clear across the city from where I work. Commute time on the bus (don’t have/can’t afford a car) turns an 8 hour work day into a 13 hour work day. It *definitely* affects morale.

Fetishizing guns and selling power fantasies while stigmatizing mental health talk wasn’t exactly subtle.

Pfft. They were killing children before and no one did a fucking thing to stop it. What makes this new or different?

When you remove all other recourse, violence becomes not only inevitable, but necessary.

Without hesitation, the Kirk-class is my favourite of the 32nd century designs.

… signifies two things to observers; that the Republic navy has recovered sufficiently to assign a portion of their fleet to Alliance service, and that their still-new homeworld is sufficiently protected enough to allow such a vessel to travel so far from its home port. 2/2

You got a better shot of it than I did.

Not going to stop me from expecting better of people. It’s the one thing keeping me from falling into the misanthropy trap.

That reflects poorly on them then.

It’s been like being a deer stuck in the headlights of an oncoming semi-truck watching all this build up.

If you think we’re not armed up here, you’ll be in for a rude awakening.

Of course, those white men who don’t qualify for recruitment become cops or security guards and make it everyone else’s problem.

It can also be frustrating when you picked up on someone being a terrible person, tried to warn people, constantly get told that you’re overreacting, then have to sit there and watch while everyone finally figures out what you’ve been trying to tell them all along.

Nothing prepares you for the image of a bunch of rough and tumble night shift RONA people all gathering around the TV in the lunchroom to watch “The Littlest Hobo” or “The Singing Chef”.

That’s the beauty of Trek; it’s a big universe and there’s practically a ship for everyone.

If I have one solitary regret about the Allied Fleet Service ships, it’s that I missed the chance to get the Khitomer in-game. I have the Eaglemoss one though, so there’s that.

The pylons and bridge module are *very* Klingon.

You missed the very clearly battlecruiser, the very clearly BoP, and the very clearly warbird they did previously?

I could totally see that.

... supplimental warp field coils incorporated into the primary nacelle support pylons. This feature affords the Guardian an unprecedented amount of control over its warp field geometry, allowing it to be adjusted to compensate for a variety of conditions and uses.

@thomasthecat.bsky.social might be able to answer that, but as I understood the Certifiably Ingame video on the Ross, the saucer has a warp coil that wraps around the saucer, so I imagine that the blue ring is like the chiller grills on the nacelles.

Kind of a parallel development. I’ll have to see if I can nab some screenshots of main engineering for a Romulan ship. In STO, it’s a big ol’ black ball inside an armillary sphere.

Whereas Romulan cores are miniature black holes.

From the Trek BBS. The Protostar’s drive just seems to be a massive fusion engine that uses twin conventional warp drives like superchargers.

Ugh! I had this exact one.
