What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

[XCV330]

Basically Starfleet has cadets, officers, and O'Brien

and no one wants to be O'Brien. Even and especially O'Brien

 

[BillJ]

I like the Trek Universe, I'm fine here.

Then here is where you will always be. Not many folks get hired off the streets with no experience and no ability to collaborate. Hollywood wants people that can streamline the production process, not one's that increase it and the production budget for literally zero gain.

 

[Ray Hardgrit]

I like the idea that it's mostly officers, but there are other paths to serving on a starship for people who aren't into all that and don't care about being outranked by everyone. That seems suitably utopian.

JAYSUS.

Okay, then they just want people to streamline the production process, okay, that can be accomplished.
They want bang for their production budget buck, I can work with them on that.

Not without experience...

 

[Kamen Rider Blade]

Not without experience...

That's something I'll have to figure out.

 

[HotRod]

 

[Turtletrekker]

Which is why I've suggested before that you create your own universe.

Perfect. That way this made up StarFleet can be non-military while Starfleet is a military .

 

[Nerys Myk]

Is the starship U.S.S. Enterprise a military vessel?Yes, but only semi-military in practice -- omitting features which are heavily authoritarian. For example, we are not aware of "officers" and "enlisted men" categories. And we avoid saluting and other annoying medieval leftovers. On the other hand, we do keep a flavor of naval usage and terminology to help encourage believability and identification by the audience. After all, our own Navy today still retains remnants of tradition known to Nelson and Drake.

That lasted in less time than it took for the ink to dry,

It doesn't need to, it's already a HSO (Hybrid Service Organization).
It's military when it needs to be, other wise they're Scientific Explorers.

I do think a more science-oriented Star Trek would be interesting. A ship that is scientists from top to bottom with a more community approach to things like command. Though the trick would be to make it interesting to audience while largely being without things like phasers and photon torpedoes.

An exploration group with civilian backing.

That group's vessel just asking to get "One-Shoted" like the USS Grissom.

You are just a fountain of creativity. You should go to Hollywood... right now.

If only it were that easy.

like the SS Columbia

So the HSO is a SF made up of SEs who mostly likely will get OS in a military situation Military Situation?

 

[cooleddie74]

Yep. The American Continent Institute is the organization that operated the S.S. Columbia in 2236.

again watching TOS will REALLY open up the doors on the star trek universe
