Spoilers Starfleet Academy General Discussion Thread

Equipment can only run so long as you have the resources to maintain it. Given the immense upheavals in the galaxy due to the Burn, it's easy to conjecture that things returned to a scarcity environment real quick when very few warp-capable ships were still around to make the trip from system to system.

It is very easy. The idea that things just keep on running is laughable to me. It's not just tech but the ability to maintain and fix it and run it. The Burn destroyed millions of lives and upended everyone. People couldn't just go back because "back" was not possible, either due to loss of skill, knowledge or just outright trauma and fear.

Pull yourself up by your bootstraps indeed. Spoiler alert, that was use to be said as referring to an impossible task.

That's not how it worked.

Warp travel would have still been happening, just slower cause they would have been limited to fusion power instead of m/am.

Also, the Ferengi were able to keep a portable replicator working in a bronze age civilization, so try again.

Nah, I’m not trying again, because you’re gonna keep moving the goalposts because your hatred for the new shows is clouding your judgment, as you’ve demonstrated time and time again.

Just watched the premiere episode.








It's not the greatest thing in Trekdom, but it's not half bad. There. Take this, brethren, may it serve you well.

Except Star Trek tech does just keep running.

You want proof? Look no further then the civilian grade weather control pillars that kept running for 700 years. Or the Mirror Enterprise that was lodged in a wormhole for nearly 800 years and worked good enough that its captains yaught was able to escape 32nd centuary starships.

And "loss of skill" doesn't really work when computers access exists.

You lose all credibility when you nit-pic just to nit-pic.

We get it, you are not a fan, time to move on.

So are people not allowed to voice their displeasure at something anymore?
This is a message board after all, positive or negative.
And his point is correct.

The heck was the budget on this show? It looks more visually impressive than Discovery and Strange New Worlds

 

[NCC-73515]

Landau said she loved it that people think they had a much bigger budget than they had

So I guess they’re just using it better

My French brother in law is devastated by the 2nd Episode.

Don't they have lawyers in the future? Seems weird that a judge can just walk in and declare someone guilty and that is that.

The burn, collapse of Society.
