/strek/ - Star Trek ★

the andorian and betazoid ones look like ass

others are top tier though

>>6612

Agreed about Betazed and Andorian ones, think there are better ones out there and none of these are official I believe.

>>6611 (OP)

>third pic

Knew I'd seen those before, not official flags, someone made them for a game, but there is a whole set with additional factions.

The Andorian one looks like a gangbang of Pacmans.

isn't the andorian flag using vulcan characters there?

I could easily be wrong.

cardassians are pretty cool

>>6745

Vulcan looks like vertically-written musical scales with loopy loops.

I was gonna say "ferengi da bes", but I like the circles of the Andorian Empire.

>best flag?

There is more to that question than which flag is most aesthetically appealing. A "good flag" may be described as one which is recognizable enough to stand out from others, yet simple enough to be reasonably reproduced from a memory.

The Terran Empire flag fails on this account because of the complexity of the Terran coastlines; the design features too much detail for a typical humanoid to faithfully reproduce by hand, though doing so would be a trivial task for a machine. The Vulcan flag is much more simple, though it may be difficult to distinguish from some other flags at a distance. The Cardassian, Romulan, Betazed, and Andorian flags, also feature far too much detail for typical humanoid reproduction. The Andorian flag in particular has geometrically complex text on it, which while perhaps easier for a speaker of the Andorian language to reproduce, exceeds the visual acuity of standard humanoid optical perception. The Klingon flag looks sufficiently reproducible, though comparison to the Vulcan flag raises concerns that the two symbols could be confused at a distance, given their shared triangle-in-circle geometric motifs. The Ferengi flag, though far from ideal, appears sufficiently simple to reproduce reliably from memory and sufficiently geometrically distinct to be visually discerned other flags at a distance without optical aids.

By the samples given, the Ferengi flag appears to satisfy the parameters of what constitutes a "good flag".

The Borg symbol looks closer to the money gesture.

>>6787

>The Breen symbol uses a big "Q"

Really makes you think.

>>6819

I think it was just Lore and his detachment of drones that use that.

>>6826

>Lore and his detachment of drones

That still demands some sort of explanation. If Lore wanted racing stripes to make them go faster, as it were, why not go for broke and demand they paint themselves gold or something? Why settle for a logo of a hand with claws?

Speaking of which, why did the Borg Queen never come for him? You'd think she'd either be pissed as hell with him or lusting for him harder than she did Data.

>>6830

>Speaking of which, why did the Borg Queen never come for him?

Lore got deactivated and disassembled before the movies started getting made, I guess.

>>6787

What the heck do some of these even MEAN?

I've always particularly wondered about the Dominion one. What the fuck is that supposed to be? Some kind of retard fishhook??

>>6920

They bait members into joining the Dominion :^)

>>6836

It's a shame. Lore's Borg was a far better follow up. A Queen ruins the entire concept. And to make it worse she was a greasy slut.

I like the Romulan bird.

>>6987

The Queen is Ron Moore's fault. The writers thought First Contact needed a villainous character so they came up with the idea of a Borg Queen, which undercut the entire point of the Borg as a giant mass of hivemind.

>>7099

They didn't even need to slather some leathy lizard bitch in ky for that, they could have just re-activated Lore and had him gain full control over the Borg. Borg Lore now finds new purpose in the collective dedicating himself to becoming more machine just as Data is dedicated to becoming more human, and with a new megalomania seeing himself as the destined savior and ruler of the Borg decides to go back in time to stop Cockring's first flight. You still got the same plot, you got your villain, and you bring back a fan favorite which Wrath of Khan already proved was a winning formula.

>>7099

if you don't mind, I am going to continue to blame berman or braga for that.

>>6737

pretty sure it's a copyright violation, the ayy's making crop circles should sue

What would a flag of /strek/ look like?

>>7264

I laughed harder than I thought I would. Fucking saved anon.

>>7116

Can an android become "more machine"? I like your idea there a lot, though.

>>7287

Our legs are pretty bad for walking and running, so I’d guess Lore would become more utilitarian in his design instead of trying to be a human copy.

>>7333

I’d imagine he’d get digitigrade legs, for starters.

>>7287

Connecting to the Borg collective would expand the amount of data Lore could process beyond the capacity of his design, rejecting being an android designed to mimic humans. In my fan fiction Lore's consciousness would exist in the collective dominating it. You could do the scene the same as the Queen reveal. Do that same head attatching to the body thing but instead it's because the android is obsolete, just as Locutus said he would be and he's only reassembling it to interact with Data and Picard. That way he can look all beat to shit and greasy evil for those scenes and could have a black borg body setup too, just without leather titties unless you're into that.

>>7313

Our legs aren't bad at all. Humans are the best distance runners on the planet.

>>7099

>which undercut the entire point of the Borg as a giant mass of hivemind.

It wasn't a bad idea, just poorly executed. Making her like a human woman was a bad idea. She should have been large and connected to shit, like a Borg parts assembly computer or something. It was even worse to show her being "assembled" and then hint that she did a diagnostic on Data's full-functionality with her vaginal aperture.

Frankly, I hate to say it, but Captain EO did it first and did it better. I didn't actually see it until 2012, but I was appalled as I did the math and realized that Roddenberry and the gang must have made a trip to Disneyland at some point. And if they were going to use an ancient actress for the part of the Borg Queen, Angelica Huston was just sitting around waiting for her agent to call, and you can see how effective she is.

>6:52

Alice Krige just wasn't scary enough. You get Alice Krige when you want "creepy," not "scary."

>>7347

Bullshit. Ostriches and horses are better at distance running than humans.

>>7420

Humans can outrun horses over long distances. We have the best endurance of any creature on earth and our legs evolved to aid that. We used to chase prey until they became exhausted.

>"Star Trek" symbol

Klingon, the others look overcomplicated

>>7420

>>7423

We're just all fat and eat burgers now.

>>7508

As long as we can still outrun the hamburgers, we'll be alright.

>>9965

Do it.

>>9965

Most definitely

>>9965

Hell yes it should.

>>10186

It already is.

>>10189

Oh cool.

Disregard that then, I suck dicks and am slowpoke.

We need more flags for this site.

Trying to think how to make the Terran Empire flag appear Swole.

>2155

>Government still can't control borders because of libshits

This is a sad day.

>>7271

Surprised nobody has made a flag for that

>>6787

Remember that one time a news channel reported that the symbol for seal team six was the fan made symbol for the marqui?

>>11970

Proofs?

>>11932

It only gets worse.

Do we have a Pakled flag?

>>11566

We need this more than ever now.

>>6819

It's like a really shit version of the office. "The Cube".

What would the Indian Starfleet flag look like?

>>16824

Absolutely top fucking kek.

How does anyone make this mistake?
