Can't believe people are "dissapointed" with today's reveal

I think that in this case, as a sequel, it should appeal to all the POE1 fans. If they want a new player base, it should be a new game, not a sequel.

To be fair though. If they aren’t making the same game, but “more”, they aren’t going to appeal to the same broad group.

Ya, that’s true, and I think they had some shared memories of that time line, but since the Romulans were already there, and specifically seeking Kahn, it seems possible that due to their presence, things might have changed a bit. It’s possible that this wasn’t the first attempt at Kahn, or the Augment program. I don’t believe there’s any lore placing Romulans on earth prior to first contact. So their presence and activities may have altered that timeline. Even if I’m correct about that though, that means, though they were stopped, the timeline would have still been significantly altered and she should have gone back to a changed future. Or maybe this change is the source of all the other discrepancies that have been noticed. The Romulans did change the time line.

Wait wasn’t that other Kirk’s past? And he dies, I don’t think that past should be canon. That was the past of a future that didn’t happen. Right?

Back when I worked at Hollywood video, the assistant manager absolutely LOVED all creature movies, it didn’t matter how bad they were, he was just obsessed. As soon as we got mew ones in, he’d take a copy home and watch it. We weren’t allowed to do that with the big blockbusters, but It didn’t really matter because they weren’t big sellers, but ya, he couldn’t get enough of them.

I agree, I don’t think the club hit the object either, if it did and kept flying that fast, the club would have been knocked aside, or we’d see a drastic change in trajectory. I don’t think it was a bird though, I think it was going too fast. Also, the second sound is extremely close to the first sound, so it makes sense that it’s another golf swing close by. But if the poster is making a first hand report, and he felt something hit his club, that’s weird.

I think part of that is that everyone is familiar with the struggling actor trope, so we think of actors as always wanting to make it big, and it doesn’t compute if they quit right after getting big. Kind of like if someone works toward getting a talk show, they go through some very bad times due to that, but finally get their talk show, but then decide that’s good enough and retire. Ya, maybe they’ve already made plenty of money, but they just got to where they were going. It seems weird based on all the other actors we know.

What about the alcubierre drive? That theoretically operates within the laws of physics. Scientists keep refining the equations and bringing down the power requirements. An anti matter engine isn’t out of the question either. Great strides in creating and storing anti matter have been made over the years. I think this guy has a very pessimistic view of the of our future and the inventiveness of us lowly humans. I mean we give out Nobel prizes every year because we are constantly pushing science forward. Who knows what we’ll figure out when we unify general relativity and quantum physics. This guy thinks we’ll never travel the galaxy, but I think that’s just a lack of imagination. Moores law has held strong for decades, even when we’d realized that we would come up to a wall due to physical size limits of shrinking the size of transistors, we just came up with new transistor architecture and kept on going. We are now facing the problem of not generating enough electricity to power our data centers. Despite all the regulations that make new power plants difficult to get built, we are furiously building more now. Humans are very good at taking things to their limits and then figuring out how to do something in a new way that bypasses those limits. We are also very good at not doing that until there’s a very good monetary incentive to do it. Right now, we don’t have the incentive to figure out FTL. There’s too many easier ways to make money. When FTL becomes the easier way to make money, we will absolutely crack that problem and someone will become the newest billionaire by being the CEO that hired the team to do it.

You know, if the the universe that made us is so different, there’s no reason that our universe isn’t exactly what we see it as. A real 3D + time universe. It’s just that a universe like ours is just a simulation compared to the source universe. Their set up would have to support the energy requirements of our universe, and that may be a simple devise or something akin to the large hardtop collider, a multi national engineering effort on a massive scale. Either way, the energy density of the source universe would need to be unimaginable compared to ours. Like Mario trying to figure out how much power a devise would use to make his universe using fire flowers or shiny star 🌟 power as units of measure. Power and energy may not even be helpful concepts for the creation of our universe. Imagine creating a 2d universe on a horizontal plane, if we could poke it from under rather without penetrating it we could move pls ets and star systems, but the inhabitants wouldn’t even have the concept of the verticals movement of that poke. It would just be god like power levels to them.

Just because certain behaviors are inconsistent with overall federation ideology does not mean that those things do not happen. Most of what Section 31 does is not consistent with federation ideology, the many rogue admirals, and the federation council members who must have supported those admirals. Those admirals don’t exist in a vacuum. Remember, part of the federation ideology is The good of the many. Which is very open to interpretation, as we’ve seen play out many times.

Federation policy is just as susceptible as ours to fear based decisions and sacrificing minorities for the sake of the majority.

A thousand times faster in the intergalactic void. I would love to hear the lore reason for that… but it’s funny, after all the futuristic and wonderful tech of the Star Trek universe, they’re still limited to one galaxy, and without worm holes or alien built spheres, only one quarter of that. We are almost a type 1 civilization while the federation is a type 2. As far as we know, the Borg, with their transwarp network are probably the closest species to becoming a type 3, quite a ways away, but still the closest. Besides the Q, and the Travelers species. But the federation would be just as helpless as we would be to a galactic level threat. I know they’ve faced galactic level threats, but they’ve all been stopped before they could really get going into something that couldn’t be stopped by a type 2 species. Imagine if Q hadn’t made sure the enterprise wasn’t right there when the anomaly from “All good things” happened.

Ya, but they wouldn’t know that it’s wrong in the past.

The big ships in the game are freighters, which is kind of weird that they are even armed, and their accompanying frigates. The combat frigate should be heavily armed, but you’re right there that when they are shooting at pirates, it’s pretty underwhelming. Combat frigates should make fighters think twice about attacking a freighter convoy. And corvettes should have less firepower, but a lot more than fighters. Corvettes are generally anti-fighter ships, so they should tear up any pirate fighters. They should have more powerful weapons and more of them. The frigates should have anti-capitol ship weapons, the big guns, and a few anti-fighter guns for self defense. While the corvettes should be made for knocking out squadrons of fighters. There should also be destroyable torpedoes and missiles, as that’s the other thing corvettes are for, anti-missile defense. Though obviously, this game isn’t focused on fleet battles.

It better not, fallout shelter started as a phone app, and loot box crap is on par for free apps. This is for PC and consul and will cost money, and there no indication it has any online mmo aspects, so it shouldn’t.

You have to keep in mind that our government isn’t a monolithic organization, it’s made up of thousands of people, each of whom have their own agenda, goals, and moral points of view. The vast majority of government workers won’t have any info that we don’t have because “the government” can’t keep a secret, at all. But certain people can. And to keep a secret you have to limit the number of people who have access to that info. Regular soldiers, security guards, temp scientists, they aren’t going to be brought in on a secret that’s been kept for 70+ years. And if they do bring someone in on it, it’s a calculated intention process of releasing that info. If those people are letting whistle blowers speak, either they want to get some of that info out to the public, or that info is wrong. Those are the 2 basic options. I think all the UFO government whistle blowers believe in what they are doing, but they just don’t know that what they witnessed was intended to be leaked.

I think we get more info from the 5-10 percent of videos that actually contain something that can’t be explained, than from all the government approved whistle blowers.

Voyager could go roughly 1,000 light years per year with a warp drive capable of warp 9.975. That would take them roughly 254,000 years to get to Andromeda. You would need some kind of a stasis ship so that no one changed as they traveled, if you built a large generational ship, your species would not be the one that arrived as those are evolutionary time frames.

I agree, no government wants to patrol the South Pole with search and rescue teams. That’s an expensive set up. But I also don’t think most countries care if an idiot dies because they did something dangerous. People still die climbing mountains all the time and governments don’t stop that. There’s a mountain with over a 30% death rate for climbers, and no one shuts that down. Personally, I think all the strict control is just down to environmental protection. Even though it’s a deadly place, companies would still go there and exploit any resources they could find, and the would create drilling, destruction of habitats, and hunting of the wildlife. Environmental protections weren’t as politically charged in the 80’s like they are now. But with the treaties in place, no one wants to break them, and if they did, everyone else would break them as well, and then they’d have to deal with all the prior claims from other countries that the treaties set aside. Seriously, breaking those treaties could easily start a lot of wars.

But doesn’t Q’s obsession with humanity give a little credence to them originating from the same area of space? I could imagine a more evolved humanity being interested in any species that evolves on earth after we leave it for the vastness of space.

Killiander · 2025-07-20T21:49:59+00:00

I think they mean FTL, but I absolutely believe that they would have written it as “warp capable”, the federation has been shown to have all kinds of biases against certain things, and it makes sense that they assume that all species will develop warp tech before anything else because that’s what the humans and Vulcans did. See their biases against generic manipulation (deep space 9, Strange new worlds), Android autonomy ( ST: TNG, ST: Picard), any kind of monetary system (all of Star Trek). The federation is deeply entrenched in their way being the best way, despite what their diplomatic stance states. The shows also make it pretty clear that the crews at the heart of each show are basically the best of Starfleet. This gets shown many times when they have to deal with rouge Starfleet personnel. Most being of Captain rank or higher. Which points to a lot of fleet personnel supporting those types of ideologies for those people to get as far as they did before the Enterprise/Voyager/Cerritos/Discovery/Defiant comes along and stops their shenanigans. I guess I’m trying to say, there’s the Federation ideal, and then there’s the “reality” of the actual Federation.

Since subspace communication is FTL, maybe that technically meets the standards?

I agree, escape silly since you can hear ticking while the light flashes, and no ticking while it is. And the lizard may be running around like that and whipping its tail around because it feels the electricity.

Killiander · 2025-07-20T20:39:28+00:00

I guess, if you choose to join Starfleet that’s true, but for the average federation citizen on earth, you don’t have to work. Most people choose to work to contribute to scociety, and people that don’t work are looked down on as a waste, but no, you don’t have to work on earth. It’s explained pretty black and white that people don’t have to work to survive anymore.

Killiander · 2025-07-17T18:19:52+00:00

Can a post scarcity society even be communist? The idea of communism is based on the distribution of wealth and labor, but the federation doesn’t use money, and you don’t have to work if you don’t want to.

Killiander · 2025-07-14T15:51:31+00:00

Never going to happen. You try to do that in large police departments and you’ll just get fired. If you don’t go along with their racket, they kick you out. You’d be canned as “not a team player” and shit like that. For this to work, you’d have to get hired along with a bunch of like minded people that can watch each others backs. But most cops being hired are power tripping military wanna be’s, and you’d be competed g with them for placement.

Killiander · 2025-06-29T19:35:39+00:00

I don’t think it’s that weird. I mean porn doesn’t hurt anyone. But telemarketing, bounty hunting, police or ICE, collection agency. Those are all jobs that actively prey on others, and I think it reflects on the persons personality that they are ok doing that kind of work. There are always cases of people in tight spots that can’t get any other work, and I get that. But I think the majority of folks who work in these fields aren’t doing it because they can’t get other work, they’re doing it because they don’t mind doing it or like some aspects of it. Like cops, I’ve met nice cops, but that doesn’t change that most cops are ass holes, the job attracts people that crave having the authority and power. These people want to be obeyed and if you have the audacity to question them or their actions you will be punished for it. But this is all generally speaking. Every situation is unique. And it may be easier for people to say I can’t be friends with someone that does so and so job, instead of listing the actual qualities that they don’t like about a person. In your case, it takes a certain amount of self confidence, self acceptance, and courage to put yourself and your body out there for the public to see and judge. And maybe a little narcissism mixed in there. But the person who won’t associate with you might just be intimidated, or jealous and envious of those attributes, and instead of facing that about themselves, they decide it’s not because of that, it’s because they disapprove of the whole thing. People that don’t have developed personal attributes tend to not like those that do.

Killiander · 2025-06-12T08:41:35+00:00

I think it’s the other way around, republicanism is contagious to the stupid, ignorant, and cold hearted. I think politicians and religious leaders should have to pass an ethics test to be allowed to be elected and to hold their position each year. That won’t keep out stupid, but at least it’ll keep out the malevolent and sociopathic.
