/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.

"We can't duplicate Data. He's too complicated and we don't understand how to make machines have sentience."
But also
"Hey, I just made a new sentient life by asking the computer to be cooler than Data!"
You'd think the whole ship would go dark while it was building Moriarty, like the Heart of Gold trying to make a cup of tea.
And, like, 20 other sentient holodeck characters. I guess you can be sentient as long as you don't mind being trapped in a virtual prison (or have a mobile holo-emitter).
Plus the ship's computer was able to simulate bleeding edge physics and do advanced problem solving. Between holograph emitters and that computer, I'm not sure why they needed mortals running the ships, other than for fun.
I mean the emh in voyager shows that with holo emitters all through the ship they kind of don't, but also that human prpblem solving/unconventional thinking is always the secret sauce needed to escape any given situation.
