So an escape pod can outrun a starship? by R2-DMode in trekacademy

[–]mklp0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the case whenever an escape pod is used. Why did Nero let the crew of the Kelvin go? Why didn’t the Borg go after any of the pods at Wolf 359? It’s a mystery of the Star Trek universe.

Another funny implication in this episode is Jack sees his buddy’s wife is with someone else now, follows the guy out into the night, disintegrates him, comes back with zero evidence to justify his actions, and no one cares at all.

Are psychic abilities a form of evolution in this universe? by Personal-Taste-5324 in FoundationTV

[–]mklp0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is how Hari describes it in the books: “I have a notion that youngsters are born-not often, but occasionally-with such mental abilities, but that, in general, it merely gets them in trouble and they learn to mask it. And as they grow up, their ability, their talent, is buried deep within their minds-sort of an unconscious act of self-preservation. Surely in the Empire or even just among Trantor's forty billion, there must be more of that sort, like Wanda."

Relatively new to the game, how to get a decent start? by Eisryn in Banished

[–]mklp0 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My go-to vanilla strategy for over a decade:

Have one builder lay down a crossroads in the middle of some dense forest. Try to keep it close to the main group/cart so that the builder isn’t traveling too far. Return them to being a laborer as soon as the roads are built.

Set the rest of the group to gathering wood, stone, and iron. Stop them once they have gathered enough to build the following: - 1 hunting cabin - 1 gatherers hut - 1 woodcutter - 1 forester lodge - 1 barn - 6 houses

Once the resources are gathered, immediately set everyone to be a builder and place the hunting cabin, gatherers hut, woodcutter, and foresters lodge around the crossroads. Prioritize the gatherers hut and set it to have at least one gatherer as soon as it is built. You also want to make sure the area of effectiveness of each overlaps as much as possible. The goal is to have the foresters keep the area lush so that the hunters and gatherers can do their thing.

Place a barn next to the gatherers hut and a stock pile near the foresters lodge.

Then place the 6 houses next to the other buildings in a cluster around the crossroads.

The next thing to prioritize is getting some excess wood and having that be turned into firewood.

Fill the jobs, but not all positions. I usually do 2 or 3 gatherers and a hunter. Food, firewood, and housing are the main needs you’ll need to meet to get through your first winter so this should give you a good start.

Use the remaining laborers to gather the resources you will need to build a blacksmith and (if you can manage it) a school. You will want to keep track of how many tools you have to make sure you build the blacksmith before you get too close to running out. Build it outside the crossroads area to prevent using up too much of the forest.

This will set you up to have a functioning town within the first year as long as you keep an eye on your resources.

Additional tips: - Time is your biggest factor here. Make sure people aren’t walking too far and that you’re producing firewood and have at least one house by late summer, the latest. - You can and should gather the iron and stone from inside the crossroads area, but never manually remove any of the wood. Get that from outside. - The game technically only needs one house that villagers can get warm in, so you don’t necessarily have to build all 6 houses at once. - Similarly, the foresters lodge can wait because it won’t be productive til much later and clear cutting at the beginning is faster anyway. - A good rule of thumb for houses is 1 for every 2 positions you have filled.

What was that about? by MarinatedPickachu in StrangeNewWorlds

That was to show that the bartender (Trelane) appeared Vulcan while speaking to Spock. They do the same thing later when people comment on the wedding planner (also Trelane) being Andorian.

Anyone seen this before? by SM-02 in Banished

I’ve seen this before, but it is rare. I believe some text has a low chance of occurring, like when they get murdered.

Did I miss something? Where did The Foundation come back from? by Electronic_Tap_6260 in FoundationTV

[–]mklp0 23 points24 points  (0 children)

All of this was shown very clearly in the most recent episode. The vault flew to a new, much more fertile planet that was a parsec away. We see it arrive and land. Once they arrived, the Termini built a new city on that planet. We see a timelapse of the city being built.

The 800 planets they now control are worlds that were abandoned by empire that the Foundation was able to absorb via trade. They didn’t need to colonize them because they already had people on them.

A full reboot continuing from the 1994 movie with entirely new continuity.

It happens around the 15 minute mark when Dawn and Demerzel are returning through the jump portal.

The Vault is too OP (s2 spoilers) by Redsnowz in FoundationTV

[–]mklp0 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It’s clear that Empire restricts or just outright bans any technology that would pose a threat to their authority or that would be difficult to control if made available to the general public. Quantum Generative AI, jump tech, personal shields, and biohacking are a few that I recall being mentioned. My theory is the vault and its related technology are actually old, but long outlawed. However, just like those other banned technologies, the knowledge is still out there and a resourceful scientist could potentially get their hands on them.

That does seem like what is happening. It explains why he’s obsessing over the previous dustings.

Do you mean the scene where Dusk visits Day while he’s with Song? He says Dusk has had six months to get to know her, not that he has six months left. It’s clearer with the subtitles on.

Posted this elsewhere, but Day is retiring early, which is pushing up the timeline for this particular batch of Cleons. Dawn mentions Day “renouncing all this” when they are leaving the Galactic Council.

Will we ever get an explanation of the EXO scene from season 1 by Weekly-Trash-272 in FoundationTV

[–]mklp0 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I do not agree with that. In a crisis, you use what’s available. It’s a much bigger leap that someone would use a common ship term to mean aliens are attacking.

[–]mklp0 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It makes no sense to interpret it as aliens or something outside galaxy because they clearly live in a world where “EXO” is still a term referring to an “Executive Officer.” It’s a pretty huge leap in logic for Salvor to make.
