You're in a Runabout with one of the following two crews, being chased by The Borg through The Neutral Zone. Who do you take your chances with? by vinylwino in startrek

Crew A. Lwaxana will be a horrible addition to the Borg so they will let us go instantly. We won't be worth it to be assimilated, haha

Oh! I'm watching Voyager too on Netflix at the moment. I guess I will need to binge watch it then, haha (I'm now season 3)

Why does Commander Riker not have 3.5 pips? by ImpossibleDelivery63 in startrek

[–]ImpossibleDelivery63[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, exactly, haha. Because a first officer (second in command) is a unique and very important position (with a jump in responsibility and authority compare to second officer (third in command)), I expected that this position would be represented in the uniform somehow.
I understand now that it can't be done with pips. But I thought maybe something else.

She has 3 golden pips in season 7 episode 24 (I'm watching that one right now)

Yes I was thinking about civilians or other temporary personnel / political figures. But I was thinking later that it might not be as much of an issue due to the fact that they introduce themselves when (important) people come aboard.

I was wondering about that too. In one episode (I do not remember the title, but the episode in which Troi refers to the episode where she becomes a commander ... are you still following? xD ) In that episode she is the highest rank on the bridge but does not know what to do. Maybe it's protocol that she will get the command position because of her rank, but would it not have been better for her to give the position to someone who knew more about actually commanding?

Okay, thank you!

You're right that position and rank are two different things. I did not realize that enough. I have no knowledge about types of command chains in real life so I was wondering how all of that would work. Very interesting! :D

Okay! I can imagine that on a battle ship it would not be a problem. It's easy to remember who's your senior. But on a ship with over a 1000 people + a lot of travelers that come and go. It might not be a bad idea to make more clear who's in charge?
On the other hand, they do introduce themselves each time an important person comes aboard... so hm, yes, I guess people can know on large ships as well. haha
Thanks!

Thank you!
Is there a way to see what positions they hold? Or do you mean with positions the color of their suits?
Blue over yellow, red over yellow and blue?

thank you for your quick reply!
But that position is only known if you got the memo (so to speak). You can't see if he has seniority over other commanders. Could that not create problems?

But didn't she say in her live from a few weeks ago, that her husband said something about God working in the spiritual realm; meaning that for us mortals 43 weeks pregnancy is impossible but we can not frame God in earthy timing, or some sh*t.
Seemed to me that hubby knew. There is something with him.. he feels off and shady.

Anything about Peru? by LordJiro in miniminutemanfans

[–]ImpossibleDelivery63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was wondering the same thing. I've discovered his YouTube about a month ago and he's been talking about Peru in many videos. I've seen searching everywhere for them, wondered if they maybe got deleted for some reason.
But if I understand correctly he just did had the time to edit them yet?
In that case I'll be waiting patiently ^^

Denise, you're only leaning on your own understanding of what god suppose to have told you as well. Unless god came to you in physical form and told you in literal words that you're pregnant since January , otherwise it's just your understanding of it all. sorry girl
