/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. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.

Fun will now commence.

I'll be in my bunk.

Worf deserves a traditional klingon cleavage window.

Krypton

Klingon

Coincidence? I think not...

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 14 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine dropping some of your gagh in there or spilling some blood wine into that funnel ... and we all know that Klingons are pretty messy eaters too.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (1 children)

In klingonese boob window when translated literally is "flavor saver".

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 10 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I just cupped my mouth and nose when I imagined what that might smell like ... especially after a day of living on a hot sweaty Bird of Prey warship.

[–] teft@lemmy.world 11 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Like warm targ ass drenched in gagh....

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 7 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Imagine working in a Klingon laundry room

Perhaps it is a good day to die.

This is one of many reasons why we have to leave this planet and explore other worlds

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 7 hours ago

This is one of the many reasons we shouldn’t be allowed to leave.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 10 points 22 hours ago

Somebody edit this image with a Kirk face or something

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My personal take is that when a new species/planet joins the Federation they get to design a new uniform for Star Fleet. The Betazeds picked the miniskirts from TOS.

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (3 children)

That would actually be fun headcanon.

Who do you think made the monster maroons?

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 15 hours ago (1 children)
[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 3 points 12 hours ago* (last edited 10 hours ago) (1 children)

I seriously doubt they’re in the Federation. Especially during that time.

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 2 points 46 minutes ago (1 children)

I was joking. Maybe it was a Tholian spy that thought the uniforms would hamper Kirk

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 2 points 32 minutes ago

Now that is headcanon I can get behind.

Tholian: “Hehehe, make the inside white so you easily see them bleeeeed!”

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 23 hours ago* (last edited 23 hours ago)

The forgotten era uniforms are when Starfleet decided they were mature grown ups now. They adopted the Enterprise's insignia across the fleet and stop letting ships/captains have any say over the uniforms. By the time we get to TNG they've relaxed it a bit again.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

No idea, I'm not a super-fan.

I will say that I like those uniforms the best of all the iterations. Maybe because Wrath of Khan is my favorite movie?

[–] aeronmelon@lemmy.world 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Favorite movie is Wrath of Khan

Headcanons the Betazed being responsible for TOS uniforms

I think you’re a bigger fan than you realize.

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 7 points 20 hours ago

A friend once told me this. If you call someone a 'fanboy' and they chuckle and nod, they are just a fan. If you call them a 'fanboy' and they go into a two hour diatribe on how their devotion is perfectly justified and rational, then you've got a 'fanboy.'

[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 23 points 1 day ago (2 children)

At least they are not skantaly clad.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 33 points 1 day ago (2 children)
[–] jawa21@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I love the extra effort here.

[–] ptz@dubvee.org 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Sooo much extra effort lol. This is what I do when I'm on meetings and am not actively speaking/presenting.

Just ignore the left shoulder that's just kind of out there; it's just padding...like the pecs in the uniforms.

[–] Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 23 hours ago

I honestly think that's a better look. Maybe that uniform would have stuck around longer with the Troy neckline.

"Data is jacked", there, ftfy:-)

[–] sundrei@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

"Data has jacks." Even in the far future, RS-232 still works!

[–] rob_t_firefly@lemmy.world 2 points 11 hours ago

They're not jacks, they're Data ports.

Now I see what Jadzia saw.
