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

Speak for yourself. The D's holodeck was always fucking up and sending historical villains running amok and whatnot, but Quark's holosuites always worked fine.
Yea, cause the Binars fucked with in season 1 specifically to give it the ability to make sapient AIs. Apparently nobody ever did a factory reset after that.
Nah, that same upgrade got rolled out industry-wide. Remember Vic Fontaine?
My headcanon is that Dr. Zimmerman received the Moriarty program from Barclay, and discovered from it how to make sentient holograms, which is why holograms started getting sentient more regularly and by design.
If you look at Encounter at Farpoint, they're ooh-ing and aah-ing over the thing like they've never seen one before. Meta considerations of exposition for the audience aside, it was clearly a brand-new technology. Considering how rapidly it proliferated and advanced -- Quark was running holosuites within five years, and the EMH mark 1 was online within seven -- it seems to me that the capability for sentience was probably there all along/obvious low-hanging fruit, and the D's holodeck's initial limitations were just an early-adopter thing.
The finest crew in Starfleet were unpaid beta testers?
I mean, you could just look at the magnetic catapults on the USS Gerald R. Ford to see how truth-in-television that is!
It's the "flagship" for the Federation. An exaggerated reflection of the whole in its relative state. Just look as the Enterprise F... just don't blink.
