He said they cost more and he wouldn't pay for them.
Yeah, especially since there is no need. Starfleet is what it is. You cannot compromise about a fact (even if it's a fact pertaining to a fictional universe).
That was a TMP only thing....wwwwwwwooooooorrrrrmmmmmhhhhoooolllleeeeeee eeeeeffffffeeeeeecccccttttttttttt.
Which may also explain the various typing bugs on here.
No wonder the Klingons and Feds were at war, the Klingons were looking for real warriors to fight but had to deal with puny explorers instead. Must have really hurt their ego
And therein lies the rub....for if there is no compromise, the ramifications alone mean the only stated fact is that Starfleet is not military....or many of the hero protagonists in Trek suddenly become unreliable narrators at best.
This is mod business, and I wasn't talking to you.
I'll go back to my drinks..
I thought he didn't need money cos he was bettering himself
Court Martials aren't civilian.
And their ridges. Er. Cranial ones. Explorers kept beating them with Shat Fu and science. But mostly with compassion.
Well they do say actions speak louder than words...They narrate one thing with mouths and another with their finger on the trigger when war is declared.
Exactly. But where do you find a full federation civilian court in deep space?
Mostly he trying to stay to under budget so he can buy a dune buggy.
No, the ramification is that what we're shown again, and again, and again, is what's valid. And that is that Starfleet very much functions as a military, ergo it's a military. If that makes Picard an unreliable narrator in that sense, then so be it.
Why would you need one for Starfleet personnel?
I think Picard in particular stayed away from the trigger.
When a Starfleet vessel gets the hell outta Dodge when the Romulans, Klingon, Dominion pizza or whoever starts calling I'll accept their 'dont shoot us, we're just explorers' mantra
Because they are federation citizens, and quite a few resign their commissions before landing in the proverbial. Also...if as stated they are not a military...
He should have stuck with his astro physics job
