    Federation Defense Stations

    I found some of my old art for some Federation defense stations of the sort I imagine would be around Earth or a wealthy colony. I based the phaser cannon on the Galaxy-X, with the idea that phaser towers like that might be on planetary surfaces. The smallest station would be in...

    DIS Season 3-4 Interfaces Wrong?

    Star Trek: Discovery unintentionally introduced superior interface technology to tactile LCARS, holograms, and programmable matter and only uses it in isolated situations. This technology is potentially more powerful than the automated door technology of TOS and TNG, with subtlety of...

    USS Floaty Parts Concept

    I just had a moment of FArt inspiration and had to make this a reality. I like floaty bits ships quite a lot, but I am unsatisfied with what we have in canon, so I decided to make a quick concept. Floating parts are mostly a better way to isolate systems from the crew, like pylons, but with...

    What if Su’kal was preventing the next Burn?

    Instead of what we got, what if Su’kal was somehow preventing the next Burn from happening? Removing him will absolutely cause the next Burn, but leaving him in place has him live in perpetual fear and pain. He’s not a volunteer either, he’s been a kind of unwitting key component his whole life...

    Should the Burn Have Been Worse?

    Would a worse Burn have worked better as a setting and explanation for the setting's peculiarities? If the Burn had effected trillions instead of millions, by effecting subspace antennas like an EMP instead of dilithium, it might have explained diminished technology, communication, and numbers...

    Spoilers [DIS] Solve Peak Dilithium with Genesis Device?

    Is there anything in canon stopping the Federation from using a protomatter (Genesis) device to turn a planet into a dilithium world? For that matter, a nebula or star into a system of dilithium planets? Discovery seems to believe nothing which worked in the TNG era can ever work, but assuming...

    Concept: Star Trek Fighting Game

    I've have a Trek fighting game concept (like Soulcalibur, Virtua Fighter, and Street Fighter) which has been rattling around my head for years now and I've decided to just put it out there. Each character has a signature move set based on their abilities, story, and position. Each player gets a...

    How Capable Was O'Brien

    I just rewatched the first two episodes of DS9 since the first time they were on the air and it occurred to me, Miles O'Brien is extremely capable. He was transporter chief for years on the Enterprise-D, a seemingly specialized role, and once he is promoted off to DS9 he is basically chief...

    Alternate Universe NX-01

    Based on the concept art for an NX-Alpha -Beta -Delta, which I mistook for an NX-01 concept I decided to make an actual NX-01 concept. In this version of Starfleet Earth is much more primitive when it developes the warp five engine, so it lacks robust antigravity, stand alone impulse engines...

    Flying Wing NX-01

    For the longest time I had misinterpreted this image as a concept for a flying wing NX-01 (it's really a concept for launching an NX prototype concept before it was made Phoenix style). What if the NX-01's final form was this, with its saucer as a flying wing lander, and the warp power train...

    Rewrite Season 1, no Zhat Vash

    Let’s rewrite season 1 of Picard using a synopsis per episode with as many or as few episodes as you like. One rule, no Zhat Vash. My season 1 is made of 5 two-part episodes. Picard the hero. Picard helps resettle the Romulans, and eventually retires from Starfleet to continue helping them...

    WIP: TOS Battleship

    I read a post which says the Enterprise's and Reliant's armaments in Wrath of Khan were seen as an afterthoughts since they're both science ships. That got me thinking about what a proper warship would look like in TOS if what the Enterprise carries is the bare minimum. I'm reusing the tank...

    Picard Budget

    I remember reading Picard is the most expensive Star Trek ever at $8-9 million but where did the money go? I ask because Discovery's two seasons are far more polished and lavish looking, and everything is obviously made from scratch for the show. Picard isn't bad looking as a whole, it has a...

    WIP: TOS Tank

    I've been, slowly, working on this TOS inspired tank style combat vehicle and finally got it to a somewhat presentable state. The idea behind it is it can shoot ships in orbit from a surface, or it can fight surface to surface like a modern tank. It can also be dropped from orbit to land on its...

    How are Federation Naval Patrol Vessels Equipped?

    The Federation Naval Patrol is basically Starfleet for oceans so as a (sub)surface force what kind of equipment does it need? At first I thought it could get away with sensors and transporters only, but if it's doing serious oceanographic research it probably needs vessels. Also transporters are...

    Nature of Short/Long Range Sensors, Picard Maneuver

    We know subspace sensors are faster than light, they have to be to get real time information in certain instances, such as Voyager scanning for human DNA 9 light years away to find their recently abducted crew. But there are weird outliers such as the Picard maneuver which only works with slower...

    Star Trek: Main Battle Tanks

    More than a couple years ago I commissioned Shimmering Sword, over at Deviant Art, to create a couple Star Trek themed tanks for me. I spun some descriptions and here is what he created. I present the Somme-Class 'surface defense escort' and Klingon Tank Destroyer.

    Replicator Bulk Matter?

    I could have sworn there is an episode in DS9 which shows or says the replicators use a jell from which everything is replicated, and to which all things are de-replicated into. I thought that episode might be DS9: "Babel" but when it shows inside the guts of the replicator there is only a tube...
