Star Trek Social Club

Shall we embrace cross posting?

Shall we have links in our bios if we have accounts on both? Is anyone here actively using both at the same time? How's it going?

Any advocacy on the sub-reddits by cross posting lemmy threads/comments and maybe doing more?

Or we just ignore each other?

I love how it looks. I’ve been trying to figured out what the background is, though.

Me: I can’t place that background.

My brain: It’s Montana.

Me: What?

My brain: What?

@startrek I just started following you so I haven't had a chance to read many of your posts. I'm curious about your thoughts on "Strange New Worlds." I think it's the best Trek since TNG with the best first season of any series in the franchise.

This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few may come here in the future, most people will go to r/startrek with 600,000 people.

So cool. /r/StarTrek has moved to StarTrek.website

You can follow them from Mastodon with this handle @startrek

Who is inspired to make an LCARS theme for this sub??

One of the wonderful things about lemmy/free and open source software like this is that nobody would be forced to use an LCARS theme, under settings a user can change what theme they want lemmy to display in. So... really we can go all out here!

I provided a link to some lemmy themes to give people an idea of the possibilities.

(I am not an admin or anything here, of course the people running startrek.website would need to agree to install the theme on the server side but I figured I would throw the idea out there!)

Local should be renamed to "Starfleet" maybe?

:P

Kind of a joke but honestly it might help star trek fans who are new to the fediverse grasp onto things quicker...

I'm watching "Heart of Stone" 3x14 and in this frame from the final scene in Quark's bar, you can see a random Jem'hadar chilling at the bar. that's a pretty major goof, right? this early in the show at least

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?
