>That is not a valid command, please try again

From the animated series.

Why is a room that periodically create sentient life, threatens the entire crew of the ship, and disengages its own safety protocols, allowed aboard a starship?

Also why the hell are people allowed to disable safety protocols, and why the hell does the simulation not immediately shut down when they are disabled?

Seriously, fuck holodecks. In TNG they threaten the ship way more times than is reasonable.

Because you can make sexy holo-women

I believe you can only disengage the safeties if you have the right authority to. Random civilian might not be able to, but Chief Engineer most definitely could.

Did they want the furry audience?

They've got it.

They could at least have a confirmation when you disengage them.

>playing MGSV on the PS4

Animated series' budget meant 1 of the TOS crew had to be cut as they wouldn't have enough to pay everyone.

So Chekov was booted for a 3 armed alien and a catgirl.

So its possible the next big budget Hollywood Trek film will have a Catgirl

The fact that Chekov's actor is dead probably increases the chance of this greatly.

Yes.

I'm on season 4 of TNG, when does the next recurring character get added to the Enterprise?

am I the only one that found Troi hot

>So Chekov was booted for a 3 armed alien and a catgirl.

I am entirely alright with that

All right, it's time to break out the big guns.

Computer. What would happen if Pinnochio said: "My nose will now grow"?

ofc not dude

Her entire purpose was to be the designated sex appeal, why do you think she never wore a uniform after Farpoint until Jellico told her to?

Kinda, I don't like her giant curly hair

Friendly reminder that Dukat did nothing wrong.

Shit like this is why Star Trek is the best.

So in Star Trek do normal people just have recreational holodecks? Can they program in all of their most filthy sexual deviancies? Also if you can just disengage safety protocols and essentially turn it real, what stops people from making their waifus real and just marrying them?

Dukat did literally everything wrong.

Computer, Is the answer to this question no?

Holodecks have high energy requirements. It's why the ones in Voyager were so good because they were low energy aside from the initial cost.

that was the best part bro, late 80's "babe" haircut.

Susan Oliver was so much more beautiful on that show.

Yes
Nothing

I know right. I wonder if that was set up, or was this just the best take and they went with it.

>falling for the pah-wraiths meme
>not killing them all

he did quite a bit wrong.

He tried to be compassionate with the Bajorans and when that failed, he didn't gas enough of them.

That still begs the question on why the safety protocols even have a fucking off switch. If the holodeck was meant for recreational purposes, why would it even have the ABILITY to kill/hurt you?

That'd be like risking a shotgun blast everytime you booted up your console.

The entire premise of what happened to her was a little odd. I mean sure if they had never seen a human before they might make some mistakes but I mean they turned her into a hideous lump of shit, obviously that's not what she looked like.

>christina applegates horrifying manhair on her arms

>tfw

sometime I get angry that I can't use a holodeck in real life. The fact that I will die before the technology is possible.

like, even just simple things. I like trains, would be great to just create a simulation and drive a train. Obviously, the sex stuff. Remakes of great video games, in full 'holdeck VR'. So many possibilities.

Disgusting, I couldn't stand this cunt and TNG was so cucked.

Meanwhile James Tiberius Kirk would have wrecked the aliens and added another maneuver to the Starfleet war manual, then taken shore leave to get lit off Romulan ale while watching hot green girls dance.

Hmm I haven't seen a thread like this before

If they found her messed up and didn't know what humans looked like, could have been worse. Plus the poor captain was relegated to that rolling trash can with like three lights to communicate.

You can be a cat person in Star Trek Online (for a price)
Can't have long flowing hair though, so fuck that.

They were even in a movie.

Oh sure, but not 3d's, especially not Star Trek.

Not complaining.

>tfw just started watching the original series

Fuck this is so great. All the characters are just fantastic, and the Kirk & Spock vibes are just a treat. Why aren't there any shows like this on tv anymore? The new movies are total shit compared to this.

You know, despite Voyager bieng a pretty terrible series overall, the ship itself was sexy as fuck.

James T. Kirk > Jean-Luc Picard.
TNG > Star Trek.

Holodeck is also used for scientific simulations.
Safety protocols would invalidate the results of many simulations.

Likely, you require a sufficiently high level of access to disable safeties in the holodeck unless it's a stand-alone simulation with no humans inside.

in a big shower of sparks from a panel exploding, naturally

>Kirk>Picard

Oh boy.....

The premise is the best one in the series. If only they didn't go with episodical villain of the week, abused time rewriting paradoxes, didn't have the Warp Drive 10 episode, and had ended the series in a better way, it could've been better.

They're alright.

my only problem with it was that it could land- I can't think of a single logical purpose for a starship to do that in normal service. For example, if you are helping evacuate/aid a planet, you are better doing it in orbit where you can use your transport beams across a huge crosssection of your orbit.

>then suddenly sulu is gay in new movies

The design of Seven is also sexy as fuck. And the Doctor is based af.

Worth watching on these bases alone desu.

>Computer, Simulate the entire Second World War from Earth history in real time. Disable safety protocols, engage.

you madman
NOT WHILE IN DUTY, CAPTAIN. THAT'S AGAINST THE PROTOCOL

They had somewhat decent arc-writing in the first two seasons, even if the Kazon were basically bad Klingon ripoffs and Seksa was an annoying cunt. It wasn't until later that it really went full-on episodic.

I don't get why Seven gets so much hate, she's honestly one of the better characters in the show. It was blatant sex sells but if you ignore that she had some pretty good episodes and a passable arc.

Been on a TNG bender since the Anniversary, feel the same way. BTW Starfleet Academy is a Steam sale today

the premise was amazing, yed, but they managed to fuck it up beyond repair by the SECOND FUCKING EPISODE

there was never ANY tension between the Maquis and the Starfleet crew, there was hardly any semblance of roughin it in the backwoods of the galaxy, they all acted like a typical crew and they always conveniently had enough ammunition to spare and enough energy leftover to play around in the holodeck

It could have been unique, but instead all it wanted to be was TNG 2.0, and it was worse off for it

>computer, generate the entire known universe to full scale, procedurallly extrapolating based on known factors for places unexplored or uncatalogued

She does. Also there is literally nothing wrong with sex sells.

And then breaking everything else even worse. I'm looking at you, whoever keeps shoving predestination paradoxes into every fucking arc.

>I don't get why Seven gets so much hate
They mainly remember the character assassination involved with everyone in season 7.

Hell yeah
>those variable geometry warp nacelles that shift up before warping

Granted I just started watching DS9 but the Bajorans seem like insufferable cunts, I have no idea why they thought anybody would sympathize. Even the comically evil Cardassians have SOME redeeming qualities.

Computer boot up a lil bit of chicken fry

Either they planned that whole temporal agent thing from day one, or they're just writing themselves into a different corner to avoid the other corner they wrote themselves into earlier.

And while I am complaining about STO, fuck whomever decided it was a great idea to hide both special Constitution classes behind two separate gambling lockboxes one after another,

To be honest it introduces one of the best and most underused species in the show, Species 8472, i don't think we see them more than a handfull of episodes which is kinda sad because i really liked their designs.

>why aren't there any shows like this on tv anymore

Waaaaay different times. You can see the philosophy in the costumes. Women looked sexy but were often ready to fulfill their roles competently, men wore phasers on their hip like old west cowboys, they even wore boots with appropriate heels like cowboys wore for riding horses. In the original series, men acted like men and if Kirk found some AI being fed leaves by human slaves, he'd rain energy weapon hell on it and destroy it so that those humans would be forced to live free.

In the 90's series, everybody dressed like some androgynous communist fantasy in their onsie pajamas with the occasional fan service to keep the nerds sweating a bit. Phasers were usually hidden up their asses until they were needed in a scene, and conflicts were resolved by recalibrating the (insert technobabble) on the engineering deck to save the day.

Basically, James T. Kirk made it safe for pansies like Picard to hang out in space.

>Dr Crusher, I'm Starfleet

>Even the comically evil Cardassians have SOME redeeming qualities
Like Garak existing

just because their bodies are converted to energy doesn't mean they "die"

there are even some episodes that show people sometimes remain conscious while in the data stream

watch more startrek, senpai

The Bajorans are ok, it's really that stuck up religious cunt that gives them a bad image.

>Hey, teach your class about how our gods are real and how everyone else can suck it
>Uh....no
>Aw, come on. Pretty please?
>No. Stop asking.
>Ok then
>*blows up school*

Sometimes we must break protocol... for the greater good.

The only crime Dukat was guilty of was being loved by the audience too much.

Congrats on your shit taste

The main problem with the Bajorans is they only showed up when there was some Bajoran-related plotline going on, which 95% of the time involved something involving the occupation, so they came across as a bunch of whining cunts, and the only reasonable Bajorans were the first space Pope before she died, Kira's boyfriend who died, and Kira when she's not around Cardassians which is maybe two or three of her episodes.

Having the player be directly responsible for one of the shittiest plotlines in Trek history (Temporal Cold War) is accidental brilliance.

to be fair, I don't remember a holodeck accident episode in DS9...

Oh, wait, I guess Vick became sentient and the program evolved to fuck with him to keep the setting 'interesting' but I don't remember any episode where the holodeck endangered the station. If anything DS9 did a good job of showing how the holodeck works commercially.

I agree with the safety protocol issue though, that's bullshit but it makes sort of sense for Klingons maybe who won't value a holodeck training program if there isn't a risk of brutal injury of death. On a Starship with civilians and children on board? Yeah, fuck that noise.

>Star Trek: Back to Black
Sisko is back bitches!
He trained and learned with the prophets for thousands of years in their hyperbolic time chamber wormhole thingy or w/e. Now he's a Q like being with limitless power and stuff. The Enterprise finds him in space where he's doing space meditation or space magic or something. Sisko has become so detached from humanity that he fucks with them in all kinds of amusing ways (traveling through time and shit, you know the deal), he plays with them like a human torturing ants with a magnifying glass. He starts to confront the crew members with their personal flaws and fears, just to see what'll happen.

The crew somehow brings in Jake to talk some sense into his father but the Sisko doesn't recognize him and turns his son into a pack of Menthol Kools.

Picard gives one hell of a speech that'll choke you up like nothing else could, it ends with something badass like IS THIS WHAT YOUR PASSION HAS WROUGHT! and throws Sisko's baseball towards him. The Sisko holds it up and starts to remember his former life, but not the complete picture yet just fragments. So he starts bringing in different people from his past like Dukat and mirror universe people, somebody throws a chair and the whole thing turns into a huge brawl.

>part 2
Somebody snaps his fingers and everything is back to normal, it turns out to be Q, him and the Sisko then duke it out in a space magic duel. At this point the Enterprise crew is just paralyzed by the WTF of it all. Then the impossible happens... Picard gives an even better speech to Q and the Sisko, the kind of speech that'll make you turn your life around and be a good person from now on, beg forgiveness from anyone you've ever wronged. Like this shit will make even Putin cry, terrorists will throw down their weapons and rebuild what they've destroyed, North and South Korea reunite etc.

The Sisko cries a single tear, and in a flash of white he reappears before Picard, having gone back in time to the moment they met earlier in the movie. Instead of warping Picard to the Borg Queen private chambers he hugs him and says: "Hello old friend, I have much to tell you". and credits

>Computer generate 100 copies of each mirror Kira
>Also generate 100 feral copies of Worf with barbed penii
>disengage safety protocols

Bajorans were a decently reasonable culture that mostly kept to themselves and were pretty well-off. Not to like Federation standards but better than the average shithole. So the Cardassian put all their points in military nationalism and conquer the Bajorans to do the typical imperial power shit. Bajorans formed a resistance, Cardies couldn't afford to stay so they left, Starfleet showed up to keep an eye on the border while the Bajorans recovered. Occupation ended literally last month so most Bajorans are still pretty cranky about it, but that's understandable.

The main problem is that Bajoran-Cardassian relations were only brought up for dramatic purposes because showing everyone getting along is boring and doesn't make for interesting television, so Bajorans ended up looking like whiny cunts.

I had to think a moment to even remember that and I watched DS9 (again) like three months ago. I think I watched the start of it before skipping it because fucking holodeck episodes.

I liked when Quark used his holodeck to show off weapons he was middlemaning for. That seemed like a sensible use.

...

Computer, run Doom

God I loved Mirror Kira. Just an unabashed evil bitch and loving every second of it.

Shame Mirror Garak was such a let down.

Satan was a total bro

>Daily reminder that Voyager was actually a good series

Now that I'm watching the original series I know just how true this is.

>dat JM Colt doe.

It was a good episode because of that scene where Bashir shoots Garak to keep him from killing everyone and neither of them are sure if Bashir actually meant to kill him or not until it's retroactively ruined when they decide Bashir was a genetically-advanced superdude all along.

Any got that gif of DeForest Kelly reaching in to kiss William Shatner during a blooper reel?

>In the Pale Moonlight

Best episode or bestest episode?

the TOS had me in stitches

Holodeck addiction is a known and commonly treated 'malady'. You would have a shrink rationing your holodeck time or straight up kicking you out.

FUCK YOUR LEMONS, NIGGA!

The only good parts were the episodes with the Doctor in it

Red shirts actually have 3 flavors of phaser rifle and personal shields. The plot usually requires them to fail in order for the captain to save the day

Janeway is the best captain. She knows when it's acceptable and necessary to bend the rules.

The game was fun, I hated the show though.

I imagine the lack of a mobile emitter would be a big stumbling block. Also, anyone know if there's any restrictions on replicating living things because if the computer can create a perfect simulation of something from a few voice instructions, why can't it "print" a real one?

The best Seven episode was when she actually wore a uniform.

this never gets old

I'm sorry, I didn't catch that.

the Q battle would be great because it could literally be anything

Forgot to post mfw guy said "set phasers to fun" as a cute girl was walking in.

Honestly i liked both of them, if you liked the first one you will like the second one.

I just want a new version of this game.
I can only mod this so much.

Seriously. The Xindi Wars saga was SO GOOD then they go to literal shit at the end of the season finale. I'm genuinely surprised that they were able to even attempt a season 4 after that.

i liked some of the Tom/B'lanna romance episodes, and some Tuvok episodes were pretty bad ass.

Robert Picardo is simply a phenomenal actor. same with Jeffrey Coombs, Andrew Robinson, Wallace Shawn and John deLancie. there's a reason episodes with those guys are well liked, just like there's a reason those guys have a career outside of Trek.

Didnt she also fuck a ghost that was previously with her grandmother or something like that?

Yes, your great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great, great etc grandson will be a neet holodeck addict that spends all day fucking.

The second one was better, with the exception of one or two levels where they just throw waves of a million enemies at you and you end up having to kill the last ones with your basic phaser because you ran out of ammo for everything else.

Also space hooker romance subplots.

That and the whole religious fanaticism.
Which is ridiculous because they worship actual semi-physical beings that you can actually communicate with as gods, and somehow, they argue about what their gods want of them.

The oldest on going argument on the internet.

>Implying Barclay wouldn't create an MGS 4 holo program that results in Liquid Ocelot taking control of all the weapons on the enterprise

Did you forget about Thomas Riker?

Nope
Cant milk that as much as a licensed cash shop mmo

just because the data stream can be duplicated like what happened in that freak accident with riker, doesn't mean they "die" when they're converted to it

Well, the space fights in Online aren't quite as awesome as Bridge Commander.
But they are still the best part about that mmo.

Boss fights are rather bad and forced, you have oddly specific limitations for what weapons you can use on different missions, there's some very cringeworthy platforming involved, and you'll be using the basic hand phaser 90% of the time because it has infinite ammo and no gimmicks. And it has a romance subplot. Jesus fuck I hate romance subplots.

Nevertheless, as story-driven shooters go I'd recommend it.

>computer, disengage speech for paz as well

it plays like a 3D FTL but it's very light on the ship management.

I loved this murdering Betazoid.

It's a shame they had to kill him off so quickly.

There's no room for compelling characters on that show

You're missing the fact that initially there was some type of alliance or treaty between the Cardassians and the Bajorans; not sure what happened but Cardassians pretty much just started strip-mining the planet and using the Bajorans as slave labor.

But for all the harm they did, the Cardassians also did some good; they also abolished the caste system that the Bajorans had been using forever and some other shit too but still but I forget.

After 50+ years of being occupied the entire planet was more or less resisting the Cardassians the civilian government that ruled over the military said fuck it and pulled out.

Raping and looting everything along the way.

Cardassians have German like ambition but as a nation, are very Japanese; family being very important, honor, lack of natural resources, etc.

It's quite interesting.

At least he got redemption before he died.
Also made for some of the better Voyager episodes/

I forget, did it use ammo? Because if so then I definitely used it to mow down a dozen waves of Totally Not Starship Troopers Bugs before it ran out of ammo.

>not sure what happened but Cardassians pretty much just started strip-mining the planet and using the Bajorans as slave labor.
>lack of natural resources

it was the upgrade for the hand phaser

another legit good actor, he likely had "real" work to do.

Cardasians suffered horrible famine and ecological shifts during their prewarp history, formed a military dictatorship that kicked their culture into high gear. They expanded into space because they needed resources badly, developed warp capability and established a small empire that conquered bajor.

The bajorans developed on a world near a wormhole full of super advanced aliens they worshiped as gods, never suffered any notable strife before the occupation except a few stupid religious practices like caste systems. If it wasn't for the occupation they would never have become a post warp society and Kira would a shitty artist her entire life.

>based Garak

I wish I could say that this was true but he did care about certain people and what they thought about him ie. The Good Doctor, Sisko, Dukats daughter, etc.

He also loved his 'nanny'/mother and his father.

He also loved his homeland and did everything he could to help free her.

He also helped the Federation and Odo.

The thing he did believe in was that the end justifies the means (which is 100% true).

He was one of the best written characters ever.

pah-wraiths aren't canon
just like how void lords aren't canon in warcraft

Wasn't there a Commandos style game set in the star trek universe? Does anyone remember what it was called? I remember it bieng pretty fun to play, granted it was atleast 10 years ago that i last played it.

Then that's probably why I mentally associated it with the hand phaser.

But man Garak was based in the sense that he was NOT afraid of getting his hands dirty and doing whatever it took to complete the mission.

Arguably the best plotline in all of Voyager, and one of the better ones overall. I think the development was stunted/rushed because of UPN meddling, they didn't want serial elements at all(I think Gene was also like that but of course for different reasons).

Dukat was great fun all the way up until the point he went crazy with Bajoran mythology. He was a good villain who was occasionally sympathetic until the plot demanded him to be comic book evil.

All the Cardassian actors were good to be honest.

That doesn't look like Star Trek at all.

Star Trek RTS?
You mean Armada?

fucking ferengi, trying to steal my damaged ships before I can rescue them

The creatively named "Star Trek: Away Team"

DS9 > TNG >VOY > TOS >>>>>>>>> ENT

Yeah that's why they started taking all the resources on Bajor, genius

STAR TREK AWAY TEAM, SWEET GAME

Nope. In the lensflare-verse they're just humans with bits stuck on.

>no perfect trek trek game made with modern technology

one can dream

>I look forward to your report Mr Broccoli

Well a screenshot of a player sitting on a park bench at Starfleet Academy isn't really indicative of the general Star Trek Online experience.

oh shit, Away Team, that was a good one.

No, i remember armada
That's the one i meant, thanks.

>expecting a good game with this reboot shit

Nope.

We will literally never get another Klingon Academy or another 25th Anniversary or even an Armada game.

Its 100% canon

Paramount AND cbs approved

i think the bajorans had a rich and advanced ancient culture but became stagnant and fell behind due to devotion to tradition and religion.

the head of the chuch had almost as much power as the head of state and much more influence.

The Cardassian invasion was probably more analogus to British colonization in India, Africa or the Middle East. Where they figured, working in a mine is better than not feeding your family, so however they treated them was fine.

However, Cardassian society isn't shown to be very diverse so, the intention was probably to gradually wear down the population to extinction before moving in. which is where the nazi work camp analogy comes in.

>just finished re-watching DS9
>the odo/quark relationship was some of the best character acting in all of star trek

DS9 was so based. Because it takes place on a (mostly) fixed location they dedicate more time to the interpersonal relationships of the characters.

They don't have to invent a new fucking alien race every episode for the crew to interract with.

Most episodes focus around pairs of characters or multiple pairs where the story intersects.

Picard talking to some new alien race every episode and trying to find a peaceful solution?

Nope. It's Jake being thrown into a fucking federation field hospital and him having to deal with the realities of war as a civilian.

>balls deep

But if you have a short penis, it's only like 2-3 inches deep tops.

TNG is superior to VOY and come on, Enterprise isn't THAT bad

What the fuck is that ship?

DS9 > ENT > TNG > VOY
Enterprise was surprisingly good. Watched it last year. Way too much bullshit posting about it.

The series finale of Enterprise was Riker 'reliving'/role-playing as the ship chef during the actual founding of the Federation.

Trip died.

:(

...

>Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey (2010)

To each his own, although I think it's fair to say that most SF fans in general tend not to be so much into character-driven stories. And honestly I've found the main cast of DS9 to be one of the most unlikable of them all -- Odo and Quark are the only ones I really like, while most of the others are barely tolerable.

Looks like a Tholian ship
You can get all sorts of fancy non-starfleet ships in that game.

Loved the fact that they made an episode about Morn, hell he had more character than some of the main cast of other series.

...

a team dps multiplication tool

>screenshot of a player
That specific character doesn't look like it belongs in Star Trek that much, it's what I meant.
I thought about starting playing lately, but I'm deterred by stuff like this, bunch of people running around in excessive special snowflake costumes like in every other F2P game with a cosmetic cash shop, which might not be a bad thing in and off itself, but can be annoying on something from an existing IP.

I might still give it a try though, I think I did once a long time ago but never decide on what kind of role or whatever to pick.

It takes a little while for the characters to grow on you. O'Brien I think is the 'worst' one and that's only because he's not actually a very good actor compared to everyone else.

Fuck sake Morn do you ever shut up?

>you will never hear captain picard call out the name "wesley" ever again

fuck this gay earth

Did she also survive the rape gangs?

>tfw I can't put my vengeance suicide drones on my escort carrier

so sad

>I think it's fair to say that most SF fans in general tend not to be so much into character-driven stories
If so then they're retarded because the best Trek episodes have always been character-driven.

Post sexy Lwaxana Troi

THE MADMAN

I would imagine the holodeck is more like an all purpose gym/vacation spot that serves as more of a way for people to hang out together in an interesting locale than as a virtual prostitute.

The real question is how pervasive they are. We see them as a standard luxury on star ships/bases, but I imagine they are much rarer on planets where they can actually go out and eat real food, visit real sites, and interact with real people. How much fun it would be to bang a holodeck actor seems like a matter of how interesting their personality subroutine is. I imagine it would be seen as something of a waste, though, given that you have like 1 holodeck per ship/base, and the thing is in constant demand. I mean you can create any experience you want with this thing, and the thing you do is bang a sex-bot? I mean the socially awkward might do something like that, but it's kind of like going out alone to do things people typically do as a group, and the schedule is probably so tight that everyone knows what you're up to if you walk out of the holodeck alone and don't have a good reason for going solo.

Seems like it only really became a sexual release in Voyager, where everyone's spouse was at home, or in the case of Tuvok having to exorcise his sexy time demons.

all you will see is this, cookie cutter rikers and some MiB aliens. suck it up, this is the only active star trek game with all the shit from the show you like.

tactical is muh deepee and boring as fuck
science is more varied
engineer is kill yourself

I want to start with Star Trek, to be more accurate with TNG. I'va heard nothing but bad things about S1, should I skip that?

>most SF fans in general tend not to be so much into character-driven stories
Then they are damn fools. In every series, the interpersonal relationships only add to the plot, not take away from it. It's a crew, how they interact with each other is just as important as the new people they interact with.

What? 90s was still cool. The World didn't start to go mad with political correctness till after 9/11

If this is the episode I think it is, it's really not very character-driven at all.

in DS9 the holodeck was a luxury service where Quark would pimp his holo sex dreams and Klingon battle sims.

People had to book the decks in advance and pay to use it. They didn't seem cheap.

But I put TNG ahead of VOY?

Everyone's entitled to their opinion, but what you said is how I feel about Voyager.

his writing is as middle-to-good as the rest of the star trek characters.

Andrew Robinson straight up killed it as Garak, you're never sure where he's coming from. in his most intense, emotional moments (torturing Odo, the Dominion Prison Camp, Empok Nor) he totally gets there and he switches it off and is back to simple Garak and you're left guessing if this guy might be evil...that's acting.

Armin Shimmerman gets there a couple of times but it's tough to actually act out alien values and remain likeable. Nog actually does a better job as a Ferengi in the later seasons.

Marc Alaimo nails Dukat but only by going completely over the top, he gives away that he's the bad guy a million times over but is still enjoyable to watch. Avery Brooks is kind of the same way.

Like hell it wasn't. The fuck is your definition of "character-driven" then?

All part of the new "open uniform policy" .
You can rock any outfit you like in Starfleet now, or stick to the ones that the npcs have.
You only really encounter the snowflakes in social zones like the spacedocks or if you happen to like grouping with them.

Most of the time will be spent looking at all the people who paid money for ships better than yours.

DS9 has the best character writing and development BY FAR of any Star Trek, and has the best plotlines and story arcs too. This is literally undeniable, unless you haven't watched beyond season 2.
DS9 was doing the whole long-story arcs with huge payoffs (ala The Wire, Breaking Bad, Rome, Deadwood) before it was really a thing. TV was all standalone episodes at that time.

No one must know how much I've spent

NO ONE

How good is the character customization? I wanted to make a pudgy balding captain and have my bridge decorations look like a selection of vidya characters.

Lifer here, I know your shame.

That was just a nod to Takei.
Also one homosexual on the deck crew in a 23rd century ship makes perfect sense. Hell, by then most people would be openly bi if we got there after the same events of the star trek universe.

How is the star trek mmo? seems they added first series stories as well?

That's true, but they were in basically the wild west of space (as opposed to Voyager's forced Lewis and Clark expedition). Quark being sleazy with the holodeck was just typical ferengi shit, and super capitalist.

That makes me curious though. Do you think they would have holo emitters on smaller ships. Enough to project tools, or a sex bot, but not recreate entire environments? Seems like that would be a worth while investment for long-haul cargo runners and space-scientists.

The majority of season 1 is pretty bad, season 2 is a big improvement and then from 3 onward it is almost entirely high quality.
That being said, there are still some interesting episodes in the early seasons that are worth watching. I would try reading episode descriptions and deciding if it sounds like something you want to see, or just starting episodes and not being afraid to skip it if it doesn't grab you.

I would say definitely watch the first episode and anything after with Q in it, Episode 2, Datalore, Skin of Evil, and Conspiracy in the first season

I've always enjoyed support roles, not necessarily healing, but not excluding it either.
What's engineering about?

it's alright until you find out about the grindfest and dailies standard to everquest clones

>That was just a nod to Takei.
A nod that Takei told them he disliked and did not want, but they did it anyway.

This guy is right. DESU just watch it all, and laugh at the bad eps.

>DS9 invented serials

it's a good show with several good arcs but there are still lots of episodes that are straight shit. Most of it was hammered out over the 7 years the show was on and it wrapped up nicely.

i own every ship, outfit and trait and spent nothing

study the rules of acquisition and keep your lobes on the exchange

it has one of the best character creators in gaming but the ship interiors are cash only and pretty shitty

Character-driven does not mean "deals with something other than monster/technobabble of the week." Obviously even with MotW it's impossible to have a story without characters to move it forward. Character-driven means that the main conflict-resolution deals with personal issues, relationships, etc. The main thread of that episode had to do more with philosophy and ethics than it did with anyone's personal revelation or development. A good metric for a non-character driven story is if you shuffled the characters around or even replaced them with generic archetypes, does it still work as a story? If the answer is yes, than it's not character-driven.

>What's engineering about?
Never dying, ever.

Also they are the most fun on the ground.

Science is straight up space wizardry.

That just confirms how we're already swarmed with faggots.

Yeah there are shit episodes. But it has the least shit episodes of all the star trek series.

Is that even possible?
I don't play, but used to during beta and some early release stage.
The cost of store ships is what's keeping me from coming back since I'm a sucker for the ships and would want them all if I started playing seriously.

Do you have the grand nagus ship

it's entirely probably that a Mirror sulu could be gay, but that's not the reason they did it.

basically you do no damage in space but cant die. you will regret picking that class when a science ship comes in and clears a map with no weapons or a red shirt drops a 500k critical volley near you.

The "Maximum Warp" torrent crashes when launching a game from the main menu on windows 10.
What a pain.

No one is talking about Mirror Sulu though.

i wouldn't skip it unless you were strapped for time. There's always little stuff that comes back and a big part of Trek is sometimes they get sent out on dumb shit, it's part of the job.

For just one faction or all three?

For me in Win7 it only crashes when I try to reset or change the game mode

Yes

If your playing for a long time you can get anything via exchange sharking and the slow daily neet bux grinder.

Watch the dev blogs for red matter and other locked item give aways.

>ship interiors
I meant the officers. I want Ash Crimson and Dr. Robotnik accompanying me on diplomatic missions.

Possible* not probable. Also like you said that's not the reason they did it, the reason they did it was because being inclusive and having LGBT elements is FoTM right now and they figured making Sulu gay would be an easy sell since Takei has become such a beloved openly gay actor. I'm actually gay myself and was pissed off about the decision. Like, I actually kind of appreciate the so-called "reasoning" behind it, that sexuality should be treated as this inconsequential detail that could vary between universes, but you'd have to be blind not to see what a blatant political move it is.

isn't nuTrek a mirror universe? like Leonard Nimoy was still the same spock but he met the new spock too

Win10 makes it literally unplayable. haven't tried compatibility mode yet, but both KobMaru and unmodded crash.

Obligatory reminder that Paramount released DS9 suspiciously soon after rejecting an oddly similar show proposal for refusing to re-label itself as Star Trek.

Mirror Universe is the one where everyone has a goatee and is evil.
The movies are called Kelvin Timeline.

This is why we need a version for current gen PCs.
So I don't have to consider building a early 2000's era machine just to play games I want.

It's different timeline, but not the "Mirror Universe" as seen in ENT, TOS, and DS9.

This was Mirror Sulu seen in TOS.

Just a reminder that Babylon 5 is in its own tier of "Never get a show this good in my lifetime"

Yeah yeah. DS9 is better than Bab5 though. And they both exist for us to enjoy so what's the problem?

using the term "mirror" to describe an alternate universe is kind of confusing because the "mirror universe" is already an established universe from the episode "Mirror, Mirror"

>wait for a crew member to have a bunch pf vacation time lined up
>drug him,put him in holodeck, tell everyone he's left
>set holodeck to make him think ship was attacked, everyone killed, he was enslaved
>after several weeks of back-breaking drudgery, reveal the ruse to him

the potential for pranks is staggering

Alternate timelines are different to alternate universes I guess

i get wanting to make a character gay to be inclusive, making a character gay because the actor is gay, i even understand retconning a character to be gay.

but this is a real inability to separate art from artist kind of thing that seems so pervasive.

You just can never be sure whether you're on a holodeck or not

Yes, they are. Trek is like that sometimes. Just wait until you slip into other Quantum Realities.

There is a reason they call the character creator for sto space barbie.

Shout in an empty room "computer, end simulation" every morning when you wake and every night when you go to bed.
Pascal's wager but with simulated realities.

anyone who says they wouldn't go gay for Garak is lying

Not really, it's just that TOS had an episode that introduced the concept of a "mirror universe" where everyone was basically evil instead of good(this was also before literally every scifantasy anything had parallel universes). It became a cult-classic and later Treks referenced it, so within the Trek canon "mirror universe" has a very specific meaning.

It's more that it relies on different tropes than it actually being a different pseudoscientific underpinning.

If the person who programmed the holodeck over you disable your voice command permissions for the holodeck that wouldn't save you.

It's more that Mirror Sulu and other Mirror Characters are already existing characters. So new timeline Sulu is still a new Sulu, Mirror is just not a good term to use when identifying him

but aren't there several mirror universes, like that one where there's all those enterprises

or is it like there are several alternate universes and the Mirror Universe is the Goatee/SexyKira/Ent one

Good idea. Unless the voice commands are turned off or it's an alien simulation that doesn't use them.

Both were good, both lot a bit in the way of quality after their respective large wars finish.

Babylon 5 really just sort of lost steam after the Shadow War. The spin offs weren't very good either.

The conclusion for DS9's prophet plot was kind of weak compared to the war with the changelings. It sort of went through the motions of wrapping things up and wasn't as interesting as the war.

Both shows were great otherwise.

They must have sudo in the 24th century. Holodecks have security protocols for a reason!

>pic related

But it had a whole list of limitations
>hitting wall distorts it
>cant replicate theoretical things
>cant duplicate itself
>when it has to half ass it the main computer dies from lack of memory or something

I'm already a fag and I wouldn't. I'm not into spooning.

There are infinite alternate universes, as seen in The WorfeningHowever there is already an established Alternate universe that is referred to specifically as the Mirror Universe because it is from the Episode Mirror Mirror. It's just a small detail in the fan vernacular

Lol

Ask someone who worked (and kind of still works) on STO anything.

I won't tell you who I am.

Who are you?

what if your crippling fear is that the program you might be in is better then the reality you come back to, like that one episode of Red Dwarf.

What's your address?

Oh, maybe I'll check it out.

Why the fuck won't you let me buy anything from the Kelvin Timeline (apart from 0718) in the C/Z-Store?
Fucking Kelvin Lockboxes!

How did you manage to create such a soul crushing experience?

Aron Eisenberg

Somewhere near Cryptic Studios

Ask the marketing team, they're the ones who come up with stuff like that.

It's an MMO. You have to go into it with a certain degree of soul-crushing-ness.

why do you hate fun

Gonna knuckle down and sort out some of those lil code niggles that have been around for 5 years?

I wanted to try Star Trek online, but I'm already playing ffxiv. Is it fun or is it just average like everyone says.

Also how many people play as ferengeis?

I love fun. STO has plenty of fun moments, but it's MMO stuff, you know? You can't go into it expecting a triple A game

Nah. Code fixes that aren't critical are on the backburner for most video games.

It's not average, it's plain bad.

>then they go to literal shit at the end of the season finale
Because the fags writing it were being thrown out for s4 so they ended s3 in the worst way they possibly could in an attempt to sabotage s4 because the new writers would have to deal with the retarded time travel Nazi plot before doing anything else.
And then they brought those fags back for the series finale.

They were thrown out for basically ruining the show mind you.

Oh...guess I'm sticking to ffxiv then.

STo is only really great if you want an mmo that outright ignores the whole premise of dps/tank/heal roles and want to try out some kinda bastardised hybrid where anyone can be everything.

Also if you really, really, like Star Trek.

What part of the game did/do you work on?

>playing this terrible star trek mobile game
>really desperately just want my shipfu the defiant
>Have logged on every day for the past few months for the "free" spin
>Have the legendary bird of prey, borg cube, mirror enterprise, legendary ferengi ship, khardassian galor
>still no defiant

i dont even understand this game

Whaddya mean you cant expect AAA

Cryptic dumped millions into salvaging someones elses work to milk desperate trekkies dry

Which makes it all the more mind-boggling that they were brought back just for the finale.

I worked on the backend.

yeah and? how much do you think video games are made for?

I keep seeing on those "rate your company" websites that Cryptic provides a welcoming environment for dog-loving autists. How true is this?

>Rapid blinking

Good save.

I love how teeny the Defiant is.

why is no one bothered than Harry Kim died?

Cryptic's a pretty cool place. Some people bring in puppers, but the cubes are a little small to keep a pup in (although their cubicles are REALLY nice). If you have an office there's space for pups. They're also right next to a big lake...reservoir? thing, so you can take puppers for walks.

No comment on the autist part.

Isnt it set in its own alt universe ? Separate from the new films and the original canon?

I thought it was one of those "pseudo canon licensed properties until a show is made to disjoint it" things.

Nope, set in the original canon some 30 or so years after Nemesis. It's currently the official future of the main canon until CBS decides they want to make a show that invalidates it.

It has a really beautiful HD model in STO now too

but I'll be damned if I spend (Another) 20 dollars on the game for it

Not to mention you basically need all 3 versions for it to be decent which all together is like 60 dollars

How much executive meddling from CBS killed whatever original ideas you guys were floating around?

They got another one, its just like when your dog died when you were little and your parents just got another one that looked about the same and pretended nothing had happened.

Mainly I think the writers later in the series just wanted to pretend that had never happened since Harry was supposed to be the every man that people could relate to whose connection to his family back on earth gave him a reason to want to return home.

He was barely alive to begin with.

No the studios approved the extended story and using the official cast to tell it as well as all the cash gamble boxes

>tfw the only money you ever spent on this game was the 3 defiants for the full set and the DS9 uniforms
I am happy in my own little universe here.

I'm not sure, but I've heard quite a bit. They're really protective of the IP (which is surprising, considering how they let the movies get made).

One of the interesting things is how the ability to get the original actors for the game has been a challenge, and how that affects the game. A lot of them ask for ridiculously high fees compared to their importance in the series - especially George Takei, before he got on Twitter and got all popular again. I don't have any numbers, but it was supposedly high enough that the company said "no" and just dropped it.

Rumors, though. Don't quote me on it.

Shut the fuck up you nerd
Embarassing

>was hype as fuck for arcgames.com/en/games/star-trek-online/news/detail/10142383-new-shipyards-are-coming-online

And there go any hopes I had for getting a decent model of some of the STO-only designs.

Oh come on, "Yesterday's Enterprise" and "Time Squared" are fucking great episodes

That DS9 episode with the tribbles and Kirk.
Or the one time Dukat told Kira he used to bang her mom all the time and she was so mad she used an orb just to go back and time and see if he was lying. he wasn't

While the latter one wasn't an overly amazing episode it was hilarious to me in concept.

>holodeck shenanigans
I'm so sorry that you have such shit taste that you hate every Barclay episode
>time travel
This was fine when it happened sparingly in TNG, and not 4 or 5 times a season in DS9 and Voyager

So is engineering a tank.
What kind of space wizardry is science.
You can't change this discipline/role once you select it right.

I have all of the escort carriers which I like quite a lot, but they really just feel like gimped escorts

why are carrier pets so useless

She got a lot better when she started to wear the standard uniform.
Troi X Worf was pure.

>While the latter one wasn't an overly amazing episode it was hilarious to me in concept.
That describes the best DS9 episodes.

>Time Squared
God that episode filled me with such existential dread as a kid, I don't even really fully understand it today.

Context?

>Hey Chief, shouldn't you be updating your journal instead of hanging with these deaders?

>The cycle must end!

The thing about STO is, anyone can be a tank, or healer, or deeps.
Space wizardry is like ruining the power systems of an enemy, stealing his shields, fucking his sensors so he shoots his allies, or spawning quantum singularities inside a ship and watching it implode on itself.
You can change your division after character creation, but the ship you fly can be of any type, and that and the bridge officers you pick are more important to you the role you wish to fulfill than any other choice really.

I think that's almost the worst episode in a terrible season. Mostly just because Dukat would not have been able to hang on to "I fucked ur mum" for seven fucking years. It would have been season 1, episode one, Dukat would have beamed into the very first scene in DS9 proper and yelled it while doing the neck trick with his dick.

Poor smiley, he got shit on so badly.
Everyone had episodes where bad stuff happened to them, but he had the worst of it by far.

I should also mention something else:

The people who work on STO? Trekkies. Huge ones. They've got model ships in their cubes. Posters everywhere. Action figures. Toys. Dolls. You name it. They love Star Trek, and are doing what they feel is best with it.

Just know that they're trying to work with their fans to make the best possible product, since they love Trek just as much as you do.

man, savage molly hit me in the feels hard

At least WE care, unlike Ensign Harry "I actually died for real and we just used a replacement, and nobody even held a funeral or shed a tear" Kim.

The best part is that he must have realised this at some point and accepted it. Even he doesn't care.

Replace the holo doc, with a hooker you say?

Too bad they're fans of the worst parts of Trek.

Just because they like Star Trek Voyager doesn't mean they are bad people.

>Just because they like Star Trek Voyager doesn't mean they are bad people.

>He doesn't know about the secret EMH sexy time commands.

They could've at least been fans of the good parts but no, we get an entire mission dedicated to babysitting Talaxians while being told how amazingly wonderful they are so we can feel bad when a no-name bad-of-the-week shoots a couple.

An an entire chain of missions where we defend the right of space zombies to desecrate everyone's deceased and turn them into fellow space zombies.

Fuck it, Vaadwaur did nothing wrong. They even have Duke Nukem on their side. Gas the zombies and Neelix.

I would think stuff like that will be curable in the 23rd century

Where can I steal TNG in 1080p?

Almost nobody in Star Trek ever used the holodeck for anything that looked cool or fun, they just wanted to pretend they were in 500 year old public domain novels and create entities that fucked up the ship. Barclay is probably the only person who ever used it like a normal guy would, and everyone thought he was a creepy weirdo.

I still think the stupidest STO mission ever is the one where you have to halt your plans to save a space station throughout all of time time from evil snake loving dimensional assholes because some cunt is too rattled to hand you the necessary instrument you need to do so. And how do you solve her jitters?
You have to mix her a goddamned, fucking, cocktail.
In a fucking stemmed glass with a drop of honey in it.

Fuck you Cassidy,

Tried watching it. Got maybe half way through the first season before I gave up. There were like 4 episodes centered around religion. It gave the show this really weird apologist feel, like it was trying to be TNG without the anti-religion stuff, which is weird because the creator was an atheist.

[Nerve Tonic] will forever be right next to [Bajoran Distilled Kanar] in my bank.

I wouldn't want to, but I'm sure he'd talk me into it.

Voyager at its best could be really good in stand alone episodes, but it also undeniably had some of the worst episodes.

Next Generation actually is the same way but there people remember the really good episodes, but there are a number of episodes that are just terrible.

DS9 was the best of the series from that era and had the most consistent quality in large part thanks to the planned out story arc.

ToS is an absolute classic and exposes just how bad TNG could be when they recycled ideas.

Enterprise was worse than Voyager. It had its good moments, but they weren't even at the level of Voyager.

>Season 1 of TNG is almost entirely just TOS stories
>Every "random mook" Story in TNG is almost always a TOS re-write.

It would be hilarious if it wasn't hilarious.

I agree with this list. Rewatched TNG recently and there are a lot of really bad episodes I had forgotten about. TOS is top but season 3 was pretty bad.

Kelley, Doohan, Nimoy.

I had a similar experience where my first experience of Babylon V was a black African pastor getting evangelical on us. I immediately went "yeah fuck this" and didn't try and watch the show for a decade.

The worst part? The really damning thing? That is by far one of the best episodes and nearly one of the best fucking scenes

Its just funny that out of context it feels and looks like absolute garbage, but in context its fucking righteous.

The first season is kind of rocky but once you get further on you realize that it sets up a ton of stuff. If nothing else you should have at least watched the 13th episode "Signs and Portents"

star trek online is still on my shit list for being out this long and still forcing you to make an "alien" to make a cardassian

came in here to say that beverly "I'm a mother" crusher's replacement was way better than she was

I agree. I honestly can't remember anything about Beverly Crusher's personality desu.

>implying cardassians aren't aliens
aliens are superior in most cases anyways, since you get that extra trait slot instead of literally useless racials

Yeah Dr. Mccoy but with tits and not as fucking good at it, lacking any actual empathy or mannerisms of a crotchety old physician was """"""""""""""great""""""""""""

Congrats, you just convinced me to watch Babylon 5

No
Pulaski was a failed attempt to resurrect Leonard McCoy, doubly so for all the pointless shit she gave Data.

Beverly was a non entity, but that's better than Dr. Shitlord

In any case, the best Star Trek doc was Bashir

compared to
>I want to fug captain
>oh I cant
>btw Im a mom

You should probably watch more than her first episode. She got much better by the end of the season, too bad her actress was a cunt.

Good luck.

The Doctor was clearly the best

Yeah but what will happen to all of them "aliens" when they eventually do release the race?

they'll be cardassians working for KDF/Fed or whatever. like anyone reads your fucking character information anyways

If they add Cardies it'll be as a separate faction.

Please state the nature of the medical emergen--oh, I'm afraid there's no cure for shit taste.

>no Sisko

Motherfucker gets pissed and personally punches every rape alien.

Then ascends to godhood on a chariot made of ferengi tears and Jem'Hadar white.

I guess, the fact that her character was written as racist as fuck towards Data and other aliens makes her the worst doctor by far, even if she did find redemption by the end of the season

kek

No she doesn't, she's saddled with the motivation of "okay I want you to be dr mccoy, but make sure to be actually unlikeable"

A great example is the one where Data griefs an alien at space-dota, in which the doctor: starts a fight where one doesn't exist, questions the existence of AI to the AI, forces the AI into a ego match for no reason and half-heartedly mumbles amazement when Data proves he has more humanity than fucking Pulaski.

I'm not saying Crusher is good, I'm saying Pulaski is a fucking disaster.

>durr she was written to be purposefully controversial i must h8 her
>vote hillary!

He is really good, and would not want to imply his performance was anything less than stellar.
I'm just more attached to our man Bashir as a character.

Seriously though, why does one have to like either DS9 OR Voyager? Why do these two groups always fight so much.
It's almost as bad as the TOS/TNG people.

Literally everyone not onboard the Enterprise was "racist" toward Data because he's a fucking android, did you completely miss the episode where Starfleet wanted to confiscate him as property, and the later episode where they try doing the same to his daughter, and the Voyager episode where they do the same to the Doctor's holoprogram while thousands of Doctors are forced to work as mining slaves?

The Federation was not to the point where artificial life was anything more than a singular anomaly; Pulaski's attitude was entirely understandable and also entirely needed in order to further Data's character development (a lot of Data's best character episodes were in season 2).

Normal people would use it as a racketball court or to larp or to swim or whatever. Barclay was the one using it as a masturbation closet, which is kind of creepy to everyone else who uses the thing.

I mean, your holodeck ration is scheduled for Saturday, and you're going to go hang out on the beach with that hot chick from engineering and some friends, but when you get to the archway, out strolls fucking Reginald Barclay with a shit eating grin on his face, who summarily winks at the hot chick and goes back to his quarters to not-masturbate because he just fucked a holographic simulation of his coworker(s). Seriously, fuck that guy.

>the episode where Starfleet wanted to confiscate him as property
Yeah, and the whole crew defended Data over it to the point where even pretending to be the prosecution gave Riker personal turmoil.

garak was literally an alien version of smug pepe

>Literally everyone not onboard the Enterprise was "racist" toward Data
The people on the Enterprise are the ones who aren't racist against him. Everybody on board that we see accepts Data, outsiders don't understand him

1 Stormtrooper might actually hit something.

You literally just said the exact same thing as the person you just quoted.

Shaka, when the walls fell.

That's next generation redshirt. He'll win.

Mike go back to Cred Forums

Bashir was a lot of fun, but he was better when he was the human who screwed up but still got the assignment he wanted. Making him a genetically engineered superman sucked.

I'm ok with the idea that he was genetically modified, but they could have simply made the point of him being taken from being far below average to slightly above average.

>You will never buy a Venus Whore from Mudd

He's not full on Kahn or his cronies level augment.
He's just got superior intellect and better reflex/hand-eye coordination.

It actually paints watching him in the early parts in a different light knowing he's some kinda human+.

I also find it funny that the actor himself didn't know about it until an episode before it actually was revealed. Same with him being a shapeshifter for a quarter season.

They go a little too far with it, at some points he does crazy shit like making warp calculations without the computer or something along those lines
