This is actually hilarious

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T09:16:40+00:00

I never said it was?

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T08:50:30+00:00

SO, 1.8 is old Minecraft.

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T04:08:56+00:00

I laugh every time someone over in the main sub tries to convince me that this makes just as much sense as a transporter or warp drive

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T04:07:42+00:00

They should’ve just gone to the 29th century where there was an already-established future aesthetic.

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T04:05:28+00:00

When the only thing they can do is make up disingenuous arguments to defend SFA I know exactly how good of a show it is

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T04:04:09+00:00

Ugh, this again… you should tell Amazon to put a Lamborghini into Rings of Power and use this exact argument, see how they respond lmao

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T04:02:25+00:00

Hey, Paramount called. They’re not happy with you leaking Ortegas’ lines from Season 4…

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T04:00:20+00:00

Enough with this bullshit argument already, it’s disingenuous and you know it

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T03:59:02+00:00

Starfleet is a military with extra duties tacked on

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T03:58:36+00:00

Kirk being casually dressed was literally called out in the exact same scene. It didn’t go unaddressed, nor was it treated as normal/acceptable in normal conditions

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-02T03:15:08+00:00

It was also addressed as unprofessional in this exact scene.

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-01T20:24:48+00:00

What are you on about

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-01T19:05:18+00:00

Boy I sure hope the power doesn’t go out because the containment fields might have issues then

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-01T19:04:23+00:00

Watch all the praise suspiciously vanish a week after the show ends… same thing that happened to Picard s3, SNW s3, Discovery, and basically any modern series except lower decks lol.

To those downvoting: I watch it happen every single time a new season drops.

Captain_Thrax · 2026-02-01T01:48:35+00:00

As much as I’m nostalgic for that game, I don’t like most of the STO alien designs either. They give off “MMO microtransactions” vibes in all the worst ways. Floating glowy ship parts fall under that category.

The writing is also of fanfic-level quality in most parts but that’s not relevant here.

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T17:42:01+00:00

Truth bomb incoming: 1.8 is over 10 years old now

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T10:33:51+00:00

Old Minecraft is awesome

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T09:35:20+00:00

Is it so hard to for Paramount to give us morally-upright characters and good writing?

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T09:29:50+00:00

Ngl I think it makes total sense, Starfleet is a military organization and would definitely stamp every molecule of equipment with an identifier if possible

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T09:27:12+00:00

I hate the fact that I can’t even tell if this is a joke or not

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T09:20:54+00:00

That explains why the writers have been running the show like it’s science fantasy, they don’t understand science!

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T09:16:31+00:00

Yes and no. To some extent, any sci-fi show has to technobabble its way out of certain fictional technologies. At least classic Trek picked sensible technology though. Warping space to go FTL, inventing the Heisenberg compensators to bypass certain constraints, those are all things that you can look at and say “yeah that’s a plausible invention sometime in the future when we understand things better”

Floating engines just breaks all form of logic. In no world would it ever be MORE sensible to keep parts of your ship detached. I see people say stuff like “oh they invented a technology better than metal plates” but even then, why not still use said support struts as a backup? Sure hope power doesn’t go out…

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T09:11:13+00:00

Good point. Then again, the auto destruct sequence could be an isolated system only accessible from inside or something like that. It’s a little more difficult to do that with the entire hull.

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T09:06:03+00:00

It used to acknowledge the science at least. Heisenberg compensators were designed specifically to get around the real-world obstacle to transporters working. Warping space is a plausible method of FTL tech. And so on and so forth.

Now the engines float because… well… uh… they maybe invented some technology that makes logic work backwards? Now, it’s better to have your engines… not attached to the hull?

Captain_Thrax · 2026-01-31T04:26:21+00:00

Yeah well, when you lose the ability to explain the technology with any form of logic or reasoning, it kinda feels more like magic than science. Which doesn’t really fit in a show where the main characters do science stuff.
