TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/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.

My parents recently purchased a new Volva XC40. It has lane detention when on cruise control or highways which is nice of you happen to drift lanes because it'll put some resistance on the steering wheel. Where it is not helpful is when there's a lane merge from an on ramp or "left lane ends" and it detects the hashes and you need to push through it...or if a semi sways/changes lanes without seeing you and you genuinely have to fight the wheel not to get sideswiped.
Now imagine you're at the helm during battle, piloting to avoid fire or ship debris and Picard pushed the button on his arm rest for Evasive Maneuvers or Attack Pattern Sierra-2.
But in an emergency, him being able to stab that button would save 2-4 seconds, which could save the ship. It sends the ship into a series of maneuvers, and the pilot takes over as soon as he can.
Anyway, I'm just saying, if transporting things could be automated to a single button push, there are a ton of other things that could be, too.
I think with the transporting, there are elements of automation that can be done in perfect conditions, but if the shields were up, the infinite forms of interference, or on-the-fly adjustments a computer can't do
