And yes, the 1701 really has a bowling alley.

/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ **8. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

Hear me out. They don't have fields because they play outside. Just crank up the artificial gravity on the hull, suit up, and head out an airlock. It's one of the reasons for the saucer section.
I love the idea, but according to DS9, almost no one knows what baseball is.
Baseball is not really a thing outside of the US and Japan. So why would it be a thing outside of Earth?
And, at least in Europe, there are way more people that know at least the basics of bowling than baseball, and similar games have been played everywhere since time immemorial. Couple that with the relatively small playing field, without the need for too much vertical space, it's a significant more attractive choice to have on a spaceship.
...and South Korea.
And the Caribbean
And my Axe‽

That's because Khan took the ball home with him in a snit.
I thought according to SNW they don't even need space suits outside on the hull… 🙃
