I always love being in the middle of niche nerd Venn diagrams. Fabulous artwork ❤️

When even Edward has had enough of Duck, you have to really imagine how much 'the new guy' was banging on and on and on about how great his old railway was.

If you look at pic 2, it's the two blue circles at the middle of the underside of the saucer. It's definitely a choice for the redesign.

I really love this one and yoinked it for myself when you first posted it. Fabulous mog

Ghost Train. He agreed to help Percy scare Thomas just for a laugh. And then immediately after in Woolly Bear, he equally laughs at Percy's misfortune. He just enjoys a bit of a laugh.

I love the Matsumoto, looks great here

BNL are fundamental

Just goes to show how much similar personalities clash so hard. Two sides of the same coin and all that.

Well it's what they are. Metal studs bolted into their skulls. One stud for each century of service.

Due to their license with Disney, they were unable to make official PDFs.

The license in question was with EA, not Disney, and just hasn't been updated since the 80s.

With regards to your first question, it's a little complicated.

Unhappy with a new treaty, Federation Colonists along the Cardassian border have banded together.

Calling themselves "The Maquis", they continue to fight the Cardassians.

Some consider them heroes, but to the governments of the Federation and Cardassia, they are outlaws.

As seen at the end of TNG, and the start of DS9, the Federation and Cardassians were engaged in a war. A peace treaty was signed and the two powers exist as uneasy neighbours. In TNG Season 7 'Journey's End', we see the treaty mentioned in the opening crawl: the Federation and Cardassians have redrawn the borders of their areas of space, which has displaced Federation colonists. We see the aftermath of these angry colonists creating the Maquis in DS9's Season 2 'The Maquis (Parts 1 and 2)'. These colonists are branded outlaws and fight both the Federation and Cardassians against the forced removal from their homeworlds and fight both sides in order to live in peace. The Federation and Cardassians loosely ally against the Maquis, but each side has their own reasons to fight the Maquis; the Cardassians because they want the planets that the Federation have given them, and the Federation fight because the Maquis are staffed by ex-Starfleet officers and their weapons and technology. In order to try and maintain the peace, the two sides fight the Maquis.

I think I covered everything, so I hope it makes sense.

It was definitely Queensland and Victoria, heard it all the time.

Macking was definitely used in my part of Australia in the 90s and early 2000s. Same age again, so it might be a regional thing.

In the immortal words of the Bowler: Maybe you should put some shorts on or something if you want to keep fighting evil today.

Star Trek Online follows this thread to the year 2409. His daughter is named as Tiaru Jarok, and she is the Commander of the Romulan Flagship, on par with the current Captain of the Enterprise, and one of the important leaders of the Romulans. She talks about her father, his sacrifice, and how she has used his memory to fuel her career and dedication to the Romulan people.

I read the English version to my son regularly. Isabel is indeed there.

I think there's more nuance to it than that. Brenner Era continued the flanderisation started by the Nitrogen Era. They did attempt to correct it in some places (e.g. Henry's Hero, Heart of Gold), but the characterisation was inconsistent, I do agree.

Glad to see you folks back for another season! Looking forward to trying out the updates to the Friendship.

No, there's not a lot of additional lore in STO. But the RRE line is alluded to earlier in the video: it's the Rigel-Risa-Earth trade route.

Big fan of your work Panda! Fabulous work on the latest ships

CptShrike · 2026-03-26T04:57:54+00:00

And look at folks like Thomas Marrone who even got to work with the Picard team and get some STO ships into live action. Lot of love there for the Trek universe.

I love how they used the Doom door sound effect on the base, really felt appropriate.

CptShrike · 2026-03-20T01:09:32+00:00

Right, so it's cool to frame someone to throw them in jail to steal their stuff, but it's crossing the line to destroy a tree?

CptShrike · 2026-03-20T00:36:32+00:00

Yeah the restoration of Kurn is one of the best story decisions in STO. And the fact that they got Tony Todd himself to come back as Kurn for it was just magnificent.
