Invent your own Star Trek Tech

All Seeing Eye

All Seeing Eye

Admiral
Thought it would be interesting to see what kinds of Trek Tech people could come up with for a new civilisation or a series set in the 25th century or something, heres my ideas:

Propulsion:
'Tetryon Drives'
'Neutrino Jump Drive'

Defence
'Multi Cellular Shielding'
'Holographic Armour Plating'

Weapons:
'Phased Lepton beams'
'Compression Torpedoes'
'Implosion Torpedoes'

Power Source:
'Subspace Reactors'
'Dark Matter Reactors'
 
An antimatter gunship based on the Doomsday Machine for combatting the Borg:

A kilometer-long tube that is mostly an electromagnetic rail gun. At firing, a large quantity of antimatter is dumped into the rear of the tube,then accelerated to relativistic speeds down the length of the ship (the accelerator field also contains the antimatter and prevents contact with the ship's walls) and fired in a concentrated 50-meter-diameter particle beam at the target.

And its sad tale:

I was thinking of modifing trek versions of tech from other scifi series.

-Like Subspace Jump engines (Like B5 Jump Engines only they go through subspace not hyperspace).

-An omni-directional shields (like the omni-directional barrier in Robotech/Macross, when it overlods any enemy ship in a certin range is vaporized.)

-Graviton Cannon (like the Gravity Cannon in Nadesico which crushes an enemy ship whith high gravity)

And a weapon I came up with my self

the Vortex Cannon it shoots small unstable dimensional rifts at an enemy ship causing massive damage.
 
Some way the eliminate that several-second delay after a piece of information is reported and the captain reacts by giving a command, presumably for dramatic effect, as well as to give the audience time to absorb the information that leads to the decision.
 
Quantum singularity launcher - fires black holes of various sizes at high speeds. Can hold an enemy ship in place, crush it, or take out an entire star system.
 
A "Mitotion" device, which duplicates/doubles anything, even living people.

It's essentially transport-through-a-semi-transparent-mirror technology.

We know the concept is sound because it's already been demonstrated at least once.
 
Away-team backup. A redshirt killed on a planet is reanimated on the transporter pad and gets to read the log of the now-dead version of him-/herself.

The same goes for anyone who goes on a mission aboard a shuttle, etc. If a starship is destroyed, the whole crew is reanimated from backup files at the nearest starbase and receives full reports.

If someone steals a spacecraft and get killed, his/her backup copy faces court martial. :rolleyes:
 
Site-to-site transporter system. Replace all the turbolifts with short-range transporter pads and add platforms to key areas like engineering and sick bay.

One would assume you would need at least most of the crewman to use as a primer since replicators seem to be unable to create living things.

Toilets - Dont laugh because theres no canon evidence they exist in the Trek Universe yet!

Define canon.

I would like to point ya to the ENT episode Breaking the Ice where a school child asked them how toilets worked in space, Star Trek V: The Final Frontier the brig scene, and several other episodes from several other series.

Sorry brother, I think it has already been invented :).
 
Yeah, if we try to argue "canonically" that toilets don't exist in Trek, then we'd have to grant they're equally non-existent in Star Wars, B5 and any number of other programs.

Transporter, not replicator. All you need is a copy of that crewman's "pattern" from the last time they used the transporter, such as when they beamed down to the planet just before being killed.
 
Even in our time, there have already been for quite a few years toilets on the market designed to eliminate the need for TP, with squirting of warm water followed by warm air for drying (introduced by TOTO), sort of toilets with bidet and hair-dryer functions.

Aside from the potential risk of beaming out a few vital organs along with the solid waste during an inevitable transporter malfunction, I must say that taking a nice, slow, relaxing dump while perusing the latest issue of the Robb Report is one of life's more profound simple pleasures. Besides, developing an atrophied sphincter muscle would have its practical drawbacks in the event one wishes to, say, engage the services of a Swiss hooker armed with a strap-on cocaine pump. :devil:

What if there was a hiccup in the power, or the targeting scanners were a little off? "Oops - your lower intestine just got beamed off to waste recycling. You'll be eating it for dinner tonight, re-sequenced into meatloaf."
