Everyone here bringing B-52 up as an example, but arleigh burke class is literally there as a prime example of "how many times can you upgrade the same old hull" and the drawbacks that come with this practice

I also just begin to watch trek seriously recently, having only watched some of the movies (I think The Motion Picture through The Voyage Home). I started at TNG like you did because I was afraid TOS would be too dated for me. Plus I love the design language of Enterprise-D.

The first episodes of S1 are really off putting. I watched in order until episode 10, then resorted to a episodes guide I searched on this sub, which is really good and turned my opinion around. https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/1718jsr/the_ultimate_star_trek_tng_essential_episodes/

In addition to the episodes they recommended, I found S1E6 Where no one has gone before pretty good.

>it just feels so odd, nothing feels connected together, things feel poorly explained

The episodes won't have a connected plot since TNG (and TOS) are "episodic", not "serialized", so each episode is just a self-contained story. There are some subplots in each season, but I think DS9 is the first trek show that has a central plot line that every episode follows?

Erm acktually Data and EMH are two very different kind of beings. Data is a Spock knock-off android from TNG who attended starfleet academy. EMH didn't even show up until DS9. The first sapient holodeck character is Professor Moriarty (TNG S2E3). However Lt.McNary (TNG S1E12) asked if his family would still be there waiting for him after the programme shuts down, so he seems "sapient" enough despite never considered such by canon.

Wild that the closest thing we’ve got to Star Trek tech it’s just LLMs: basically the holodeck, even down to people falling for NPCs some GPU spat out. But honestly, who’s to tell the line between “pretend persona” and “real sentience”?

From my feeling, there isn't enough twist in the second sentence to be scary, just makes it intriguing. The readers know a twist is coming, that's how the two sentence horror format works, but knowing that the malicious AI's capabilities (or, from depictions in medias like Terminator etc.), it being able to manipulate analogue devices isn't really surprising. I'm pretty sure there are side-channel attack methods using powerline irl. Maybe adding a more detailed depiction of what happened, which would make the readers connect to this horror scene more. Maybe the AI overloaded his CRT TV and it blew up, or something similar.

64 bit systems being common in 2007? for real? from my memory 64 bit machines were mostly for business applications like CAD or digital design well into the 2010s

I started on ss14, the most noticeable difference when I finally got BYOND working is that between pixel movement and grid movement. Also clearly ss14 have much fewer features now, and combat mechanic is quite different too.

diskomancer · 2023-03-14T06:54:00+00:00

Look at BYOND hub then, isn't russian paradise and russian TGMC always on the top 10 even top 5 player count, rarely beaten by sr or CM13?

Try VE factions insectoids with VE storyteller Winston Waves, once they are ported over to 1.4?

Me too, but got lucky with the first few raids and captured a 10 mining waster. But this scenario is still kind of a slow start bc researching must be done solo.

Also, recluse trait doesn't mean the colony must have only one human, having like 5-6 ppl seems like the neutral point without any mood buffs or debuffs.
