[Okay, folks. I am, for no reason I can discern, very depressed today. Hence, I'm writing to keep away the darkness. I mention this because this might turn out to be incredibly dark. I'm writing stream of consciousness, too, especially meriting the warning...As well as a warning that this will...

OK, folks. Neozeks gets the credit for planting the idea in my head of trying to cover something we never actually see happen in Star Trek, something of far more scope and interstellar consequence than how one uses the bathroom.:) Namely, how the hell new members are integrated into the...

Get your minds out of the gutter, people!:) Nonono, I have the urge to do another of my worldbuilding threads...But I have a tiny problem. No idea what to do for a topic. So I figured I'd crowdsource. See what ideas you, my readers, can come up with. If I see a good idea, I'll grab it and...

Okay. On my quest to write fluff for new Trek ships, I've noticed something that forces me to ask some questions. I know that there used to be "rules of starship design" laid down by Roddenberry, but those seem to have been in abeyance for years now, and in any case I'm looking for trek-tech...

OK. It's a slow morning, and I've spent the last few days on a Trek ideas binge. Getting a bunch of Trek ideas down in text for the RPG I play on, from Insanely Bad plot ideas to other things. As I've been doing that, I've been going through everything I have Trek, especially in written form...

I'm probably going to get a lot of rolled eyes and stuff thrown at me for this, or at least groans, but anyway. I'm stuck in a weird position: My brain can pump out starship and spacecraft and similar designs easily. Even uniform ideas. (All of my imagination thusfar has tended to be...

Okay, some brief background: This is something I've done up primarily as a proposal for a play-by-email RPG set post-Nemesis, post-Prime portion of STXI, in 2410. It's not intended to be new uniforms for TV or cinema; in fact I've rejected a number of TV/cinema conventions and possibly...

Yes, weird question to ask on a Trek board, but it's related to a character for a trek PBEM RPG (which I will happily refer people to via PM). Anyway, one of my characters is Greek. Very traditional, rural Greek in background. (He's now a fighter pilot for Starfleet, go figure.) Anyway, in...

Okay, this has been bugging me for a bit. Somewhere, deep in the recesses of my brain, I remember seeing something that stated that full impulse was only 0.25c, in a bid to not hit the worst of relativistic effects. Of course, now that it matters for some writing I'm doing, I can't find a...

Okay. The "Starfleet at Quark's" thread, plus some other sci-fi, has me thinking. This might be dangerous. Frankly, I start this htread terrified it'll devolve into a flame-war, which would be sad, because I think there's a lot of worldbuilding we could do here. Like my other worldbuilding...

Okay. So...For the last 4 weeks, I've been living with a dog that was totally my mom's idea. That said, for all the annoyances the little fuzzball (only 12 weeks old now) has presented, he's also posed a question. We've seen Starfleet folks with pets. Data had Spot, Picard had Livingston...

Okay, this thread should hopefully be meater than my derailed-mid-original-post thread on SFA a few pages back. Like with all my other speculation/world-building threads, this thread has a purpose, then some assumptions I'm making before I go diving into the details. As usual, []'s indicate...

Okay, I'm confused by something. How long-lived are humans supposed to be in Trek? Both in terms of "working" lifespan, and lifespan, period. I'm hearing ages like 130+ for McCoy in "Encounter at Farpoint", and I'm thinking "But wait...Human physiology hasn't changed in Trek..." In short...

Okay. Over in my thread on the Fed Governmental Structure, we're trying to figure out the size of Starfleet. So I figured - one of those Mushroom-y starbases from TNG and later. How big are those supposed to be? I don't mean in physical size, but in terms of crew complement, officer and...

This was originally going to be like all my other threads. I wanted it to be like all my other threads. And then I stumbled upon "Eye of the Beholder" from TNG via Memory Alpha. I swore and deleted all of what I had written. So instead I'm going to ask a question: How many of those SFA...

Okay. This is an outgrowth of the thread I started imagining what the Federation Governmental structure might look like. Same basic ground rules here as there, mostly as to how I write: 1. For the purposes of debate, please, presume the UFP uses money. It may be all electronic, but it still...

Well, no, not really. But my novels arrived today, and I just finished reading Book I of the Destiny trilogy: Quick, non-spoilerific review: I was confused by the way the book was structured (physically, not literarily) with all the time jumps. It worked well enough, but slowed down my reading...

Okay, not sure if this belongs in GTD or Trektech, but I'm posting it in GTD because it impacts far more than technology. Anyhow, over in this thread, me and Sci (and others) began by discussing a possible Federation Governmental structure. The Star Trek Encyclopedia puts the UFP as being...

Well, I don't know how to put this. I'm deeply bored, and parents are going to be home soon with a puppy only they want, so I'm thinking. And my thought basically is this. What we know about the Federation's governmental structure from canon is a jumbled, confused mess. I disagreed with...

Okay. That sounds weird, so I'll explain. Looking over my Trek books, I have Star Trek Titan novels 1-4. I recall liking them, and I know further books in the series have been published since then. Of course, where might I go to find a list of the books in said series, along with the order...
