  • I'm finally watching star trek with my girlfriend and getting her into it. Been watching along with her on TNG. So far we are about done with season 1, but I am big excited to re-watch DS9 se5, especially with her watching it for the first time by my side.

    Gonna have to brave the awful ass se1 Sisko haircut though lol.

  • In my head cannon, that's more or less how the borg started. I can see it starting off as a much more basic networked community that started off legitimately respecting people's wishes to join/not to join. But over time it grew and changed, and become so invasive to the point they snowballed into the borg we know and love today.


    And if we REALLY want to speculate, their first act of violence/force may have been against some entity that sought to attack them for being new and different. And whatever war or conflict that turned into ended up shifting the values of the borg such that forced assimilation was then seen as morally acceptable. And once that's condoned, why stop?

  • That actually makes me think, would it theoretically be possible to automate ship repair with transporter technology? All the time they have ships coming in with giant chunks missing.

    If you are able to get a high resolution scan of the current state of the vessel, and have the plans to build it, couldn't they set up a specialized transporter to transport the damaged bits away, and transition area that is destroyed, and then replace it with new parts as needed?

    Basically do some a similar repair method from Space Engineers, just fancier with transporters.

  • Just avoid areas with life signs. Person in the room? Delay the transporter sweep for an hour and check again. Or alternatively just don't clear dead skin cells/hair/dust within a 2ft radius of a given life sign, and do maybe 3 sweeps a day.

  • Given that they have the ability to select pretty much whatever material they want with the transporters, I imagine it wouldn't be too hard for them to do a once a day transport for all dust/debris particles directly into space, or some containment unit of their choosing. Same goes for pretty much any other cleaning task.

  • The air is plenty clean as it is

    Tell that to the people in East Palestine Ohio. Tell that to the people that live near coal plants.

    as long as you don’t live in California

    Doesn't matter where you live if the planet is uninhabitable.

  • Agreed. Though it has crossed my mind that the in universe explanation for why the Federation is so enlightened and willing to care for all of its citizens because of the horrors Earth went through.

    But yeah, definitely would like to avoid WW3/the Bell Riots.
