/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.

side effect: memory loss since last transport
New game mode unlocked: Lemmings!
The book series undying mercenaries has fun with this. When a soldier dies, they can just print a new one, with most of the memories of the old one. They also hold a pattern of the body, so you come out the age you last updated your scan. There are a few quirks of galactic law involved. Most critical is only 1 copy is ever allowed at a time. Being caught breaking this law is grounds for summary execution (species/planetary, not individual).
Nothing quite like calling for an evac, after winning a battle, only to have a friendly missile drop from orbit to vaporise you (and so can be printed out back on the ship). Shuttles are slower and more expensive.
Oh no!
Maybe that is a feature instead of a bug.
Send a redshirt down.
Have him run into combat.
He dies.
Build another one from the saved pattern.
Have him run into combat.
Repeat until the enemy runs out of ammo. And you only have at most one redshirt with PTSD. You could even be clever and use the dead as raw material. Take your one red shirt and make him throw the hundreds of his previous lives into the recycler. Or to save time just make a bunch more redshirts and have them do it, then have them jump in the recycler. The end result is 0 casualties, since you have the exact number of individuals as you started with
Boba Fett would like a word... :D
