    The contradiction of the Enterprise D mission role.

    And mentioned that it felt very different from who they had been for a long time. Edit: A military organization where combat-readiness is not its primary task, where vast numbers of members (and not just the lowest-rank) are genuinely surprised and ambivalent when armed conflict actually...

    The contradiction of the Enterprise D mission role.

    Are we really still debating whether or not Starfleet is a military? When the Dominion War happened, who fought it for the Federation? Case closed. (And, yes, that is applicable in a TNG forum because the events of the Dominion War were mentioned by Picard in Insurrection.)

    What's the worst non-canon decision in the history of Trek?

    ...is they're making itself better and I wonder if it would have been more appropriate to make them worse (see the Cardassians joining the Dominion). Arguably less interesting politically as that may be. If I'm making sense. I THINK Star Trek Online's handwave was the fact that it was an...

    What's the worst non-canon decision in the history of Trek?

    ...Similarly I'm not sure those involved in Project Full Circle (save the Admiral who certainly had his own motivations) chalk that up as a victory either. Might've just been better to stay home. (I know, that's not why they build ships...but the Dominion War had basically just happened.)

    DS9 for those who don't necessarily love DS9?

    ...but no, I'm definitely not too interested in the fatherhood/Jake stuff; I'm mainly interested in the Cardassians, the wormhole, and the Dominion War. I'm therefore a bit surprised that the "Spectrum" reviewer only rated "The Maquis" as mildly important, but I guess The Maquis didn't...

    DS9 for those who don't necessarily love DS9?

    ...story and the Maquis arc. 4x23 - To the Death - Introduction of Weyoun. 4x24 - The Quickening - Shows the consequences of pissing off the Dominion (also it's really good). 4x25 - Body Parts - Important for Kira. 5x02 - The Ship - Some Dominion drama with one minor consequence down the road...

    How are planets defended in Star Trek?

    ...deflector shield.... even on the opposite side to said colony it was strong enough to withstand the Enterprise. This implies that Earth (for example) has multiple planetary deflector shield generators. So powerful that not even the Dominion should be able to penetrate... Anything else stinks.

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    It depends on the enemy you are combatting, the situation, the field that you're fighting on. There's no one definitive answer to how much constant fire you should be having. But Enterprise vs Reliant was 1 vs 1 in a Sensor Inhibiting dense Nebula where both sides could be some-what injured...

    What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

    ...times farther away, and the destruction of the Mirandas could have caused a cascade of explosions. On the other hand, the run through the Dominion fleet would still have been tight at realistic distances and the destruction of the Mirandas could still have led to more danger. Despite the...

    Could Equinox have turned Voyager around?

    ...Caretaker) and some of the crew decide to stay while others go back to the Alpha Quadrant. Like the Maquis crew (if they're maintained in this version) who wouldn't have a reason to go back once they find out the Dominion destroyed the Maquis. Just a basic idea with lots of stuff to iron out.

    Could Equinox have turned Voyager around?

    ...it had been an intimate, low-stakes show about political tensions on post-occupation Bajor (think Past Prologue and Duet), and never had the Dominion War or the Pah Wraiths stuff - but there's a point where I think you just have to take fiction on its own terms, or you end up having a poor...

    3D interiors in Blender

    ...Like all Pride interiors, it's a redress of a Potemkin one as they're both Excelsior-class ships. The idea with Pride is that it was a Dominion War-era refit, so it incorporates the color palette from the Defiant and more DS9/Voyager-era props than TNG. I haven't even started work on this...

    News Franchises will find a way.....( Jurassic Park 7 planned)

    Why not? We could have sail riders who control them with hooks like in Dune. The new-oldest way to cross the desert.

    What exactly is allowed in the Federation and what exactly disqualifies membership?

    The Evora became a protectorate not a member No we've only seen the aftermath of it in Discovery, would certainly be interesting to see the exact events when Vulcan, Andoria and Earth seceded.

    What exactly is allowed in the Federation and what exactly disqualifies membership?

    Ardana from "The Cloud Minders" seem to count these out. As does forced marriage, duels to the death and child bonding from the Vulcans. Insurrection seems to imply that they are handing out Federation memberships like candy during the Dominion War.

    News Franchises will find a way.....( Jurassic Park 7 planned)

    Demetrodon-one of the "mammal like reptiles"-appeared in Dominion. Conceivably you could have had a spin off franchise, Permian Park. So...could humans co-exist with the ancient sailbacks?

    Give me a top 10 list of Deep Space Nine episodes to start watching

    I think many Dominion episodes are safe for newbies to watch depending on the amount of prior information required. As RHW put it, most episodes were designed to be enjoyed as a stand-alone episode. The elements of serialization were introduced after the fact. There is no big surprise in DS9...

    ...Reason Book II: Blight by Rachel A. Rosen. Magick has returned with the loss of the polar ice caps, and the human world is falling apart, Canada collapsing into the Dominion as the last and worst of the fallen...and a relative handful fighting back to save and protect what little they still can.

    The purpose of the original DS9 uniforms

    DS9 "Rapture" I believe. Which aired not too long after First Contact was released. The reason for changing the uniform for FC was that they thought the grey jumpsuit looked cooler on the big screen. I wouldn't have minded a slightly enhanced version of the DS9 at the time outfits. I guess...
