/strek/ - Star Trek

I always enjoyed the idea of an illicit holo porn trading ring where simulations of people who didn't consent to their likeness being used are sold. Always fun to think of where the moral and or legal line would be drawn in a liberal utopia like ST.

>Mirror Ezri is actually potty trained unlike her prime universe counterpart

>She is just made to wear diapers and given so many punishment enemas she may as well be incontinent.

>>32515

Yep. Kira was mad as fuck.

>>32498

There's a revolving door of /leftypol/ and redditor retards who wander their way into here and make stupid posts before getting scared away by the cardassianposting. It's an unfortunate consequence of normies adopting the "star trek is socialist utopia" meme.

>>32363

So I watched this shit, and I like Vic, but damn that dude needs to learn how to speak in a lower register. I thought he'd at least try to mimic the way Captain Kirk talks but he still sounds like a massive homo, I'm sorry to say. Anyone have any idea why he's like this?

>how, with the increasing mainstreaming of anime in north america, have these voice "actors" not been displaced and replaced with actual trained, talented actors from the mainline cartoon industry?

Because dubbing Anime is made on a massive budget. These people who run these companies realize that all they have to do is hire voice actors. That's it. They're penny pinchers. So the logical follow through is that they don't hire better actors who are more expensive.

50 tumblr cucks accused him of lerape but quickly one of the women involved defended him and the lolcows accusing him are being torn a butho in court atm. the blog accusing him was deleted too.

haha you are all shit niggers compared to vic. He has massive career. u r angry troll w a big belly. GG faget

So we going to play this or what?

I wasn't expecting my shoop to end up everywhere on the internet.

Check the guy from the camera crew saying they'll be using this as a tool to plan shots.

>>32521

Not surprised. Tools like these must be invaluable.

Right

The military is seen as a very distinguished and respected institution in America; the white working class is way overrepresented (along with Amerindians) in the military and jews way underrepresented, the white working class must be ruling America with an iron fist.

>>32192

Why compromise between these two retarded non-starters when a great example of a galactic empire is right there in the Klingons. Their system is somewhat handicapped in that they're retarded space niggers who always jump to rash conclusions but the foundational premise of their foreign policy is morally and pragmatically unimpeachable:

1) There can be military alliances and cooperation with foreign powers so far as it benefits the people of the empire and no further

2) No foreign influence on the governance of the empire is tolerated, our worlds are our own and if you don't like how they're run you can deal with it or we can smack your shit.

3) The traditions of the empire are to be respected and foPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

>who always jump to rash conclusions

At what point do they do this, besides when egged on by changeling infiltrators? Whenever Worf jumps to a "rash" conclusion in TNG, he's almost always right. Just think about how many shenanigans the Enterprise would have avoided if they just listened to Worf once in a while when he suggested going to Yellow Alert, or raising the shields?

Related to this, the Klingon intelligence network seems to be borderline prescient the few times we see it in action. As other anons have mentioned before, when Sisko asks Martok about intel on the Maquis cloaked missiles, he's able to just pull out a datapad and get that information in seconds. In TNG's 'Reunification,' a lowly BoP captain know's about Picard's secret mission to Romulus. The Klingons are the single most competent empire in Trek in almost every way, but they've managed to obscure this fact from everyone else using God-tier meme magic; no one pays them any mind because every Romulan, Cardassian, and Feddie citizen have it ingrained into their head that Klingons are just a bunch of lovable brutes with a penchant for honor.

>>32409

>What if Star trek is the prequal to Warhammer 40k?

The Culture is.

>>32484

While I do agree strongly that the Klingon model for foreign policy is ideal for any state, that's only one aspect of governance. Domestic policy, the institutions of government, the rights and duties of citizens, all that also needs to be considered. As we've seen in many episodes, the Klingon High Council is not an ideal governing body, as the political climate encouraged by their laws and traditions tends to lead to bloody feuds between houses, sometimes escalating into full-blown civil wars, with the Chancellor being basically powerless to address these issues before they become a problem. Both Star Trek and history show that aristocratic cliques having total control of the government is a shitshow a majority of the time.

I agree and then when they added worf to the crew that was a really good idea it gave them so many more story options with all the klingons and dax and all of that

DS9 was confused in it's last season

The whole "Emissary" Sisko thing petered out and was at odds with the Changling Dominion war plot line.

The Emissary arch ending looked tacked on as was put there in service of the Changling Dominion war plot line.

>>32437

That's true, but even S1 could-be-TNG plots have a DS9 spin to them. For instance, take the Babel episode. If something like that happened in TNG, the bad guys would have been Cardassian, and that would have been that. But in DS9, the cast assumes it was the Cardassians, but they turn out to be wrong, and it was an extremist Bajoran sect who were responsible.

>>32441

>it was an extremist Bajoran sect who were responsible.

Like everything is.

>>32261

I unironically would watch Threshold or Kazon episodes over anything in STD.

>>32414

Wolf of Ferengiar?

>>32433

>First is the latinum part; since it's a commodity money, they can only devalue it by refusing to use it, but the impact of even a large portion of the Ferengi refusing to trade can't do too much to the value since so much of the galaxy uses it.

That's a fair point, and I'm not an economist, but couldn't you affect the value of a commodity currency by people refusing to use it in favour of other forms of exchange? Maybe there's a move to a more barter based system, or possibly even Ferengi Crypto Currencies tell me that wouldn't be beautiful to watch if it was well written and researched

>If anybody's pushing the reforms, it could only be the richest Ferengi

Now that is something I hadn't considered, makes all the sense though. Thanks for pointing it out. You could still get a small guy revolt among the Ferengi though, BigMcLargeCo (TM) still needs customers and employees after all - and while they have offworld, non-ferengi, clients those would start to evaporate once they started missing orders due to lack of labour at the factories back home (and even a Pakled would think twice before taking a job for a Ferengi boss when there's any other choice and the Ferengi is starting to hemorrhage money anyway).

>>32435

>Wolf of Ferengiar?

Maybe less board room shenanigans and more of a ground up AnCap revolution.

>>32358

even when robot chicken makes fun of something I like it's not funny

Would a Vulcan Ferengi Hybrid charge for spankings?

>>32461

Are you talking about them spanking you or for you spanking them? I don't think they'd be interested in the first one (they're not Romulans after all) and depending on whether the Vulcan side or the Ferengi side was stronger in their cultural upbringing they'd either love being spanked too much to charge you, or gouge you for every strip of latinum you would pay, on a per spank basis.

Tailor, what do you think about changing the "anonymous" moniker to "redshirt", or a similar setting-appropriate name?

>>32359

I'll think about it, but don't get your hopes up. I'm not a fan of changing things just to change them. If you can convince me it will bring more genuine /strek/kers to the board I'll do it.

>>32362

That's fair. I doubt it would bring new /strek/kies to the board, it's just a way to differentiate our little corner of autism from all the others, similar to what the "Not Suitable For Worf" custom spoiler does.

>>32303

Your post is bad, and you should feel bad.

>>32121

Anything is theoretically possible if you throw enough math at it. We're still talking about creating energies that violate everything we know about physics.

>>32223

I think confusing "theoretically possible" and "mathematically explainable." Take negative mass, for instance. As far as we know, no such this exists, but if it could, we have a pretty good idea how it would act.

The borg as written were too powerful, Voyager proved you have to mary sue your way just to deal with them.

Each borg was a tiny spaceship with shields and could regenerate any damage that got through the shields. The borg cubes themselves didn't even bother with shielding (although they had them) because a photon torpedo that can crack a planet open could barely scratch the paint on a borg cube.

They HAD to be nerfed.

>>32242

>They HAD to be nerfed.

No, they didn't you megafaggot. That was the whole point of the Borg, they were an existential threat that you could not deal with. They were a force of nature that could not be truly opposed, and your only recourse in 99% of cases was to go around them and hope they didn't glance in your direction. Not every villain needs to be defeated. Not every story needs to be a power fantasy that vindicates the protagonists with no consequences and no harm done. If the Borg are nerfed, they're functionally no different from every other big bad. Their whole schtick is that they cannot be truly defeated.

>>32243

You could theoretically manage both approaches without too much hassle.

>Downplay the resilience of the individual Borg drone to the point where it can be credibly defeated without resorting to mary-sue-technobabble

>Rejig their overall threat level so that a well equipped/trained unit of anti-borg specialists, that has prepared out the ass, can reasonably take down a single minor Borg light-ship (I forget which shapes they used for those, but no more than a corvette analog)

>However the moment a single drone on that small ship registers you as a threat the nearest cube (and they're never *too* far away from a cube) will dispatch reinforcements and you are now working with a deadline of 2-3 minutes before you get captured and assimilated

That way you can still get episodes where the crew can fight and 'beat' the Borg but they retain their threat and can still play the role you described there.

Hopefully it's just bait and he's not actually that retarded.

If Vulcans are into spankings what is the Romulan kink of choice?

>>32069

Plotting. All Romulan romance is a constant dacne of subterfuge with the paramour, constantly trying to surprise her while failing to be surprised in turn. Valentine's Day and anniversaries are basically microcosms of the Cold War.

>>32069

>If Vulcans are into spankings what is the Romulan kink of choice?

I could see the Romulans being really into humiliation raceplay. There's a lot of proud super-straight white guys who secretly yearn for a big black cock to tickle their prostate. By the same token, I see Romulan isolationism as a culture-wide repression of their desire to taste the forbidden fruit of foreign domination. I'd bet a lot of the Romulan leadership would happily spend an afternoon in a gloryhole, slurping down load after load of human sperm.

There was also a Red Dwarf episode that debated what true victory was.

>outsmarting the crazy hallucinating evil alt-right bigot

Dukat and 'classic' Cardassia are more akin to Fascism which is really more of an extreme small-c conservatism than national socialism and the ideologies based upon it.

>>31601

Cardassia is a stratocracy.

reminder that dukat did nothing wrong

dukar becoming a space demon was a founder false flag

There is no such thing as disloyalty in Cardassia, only degrees of failure to the State.
