Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
This thread is so bubbly and cloy and happy, just like [Star Trek]

The review is also great, I wonder how long it takes for him to put together a script for a review. I'm consistently impressed with how concise, funny and well thought out they are.
Sherlock Holmes is in it, that makes it at least watchable.
Held the line at AR-558, and not a single fuck was given that day.
A complete 1:1 recreation of the whole damned ship. This almost happened.
And really? Shit stays on the Strip forever? They were blowing up hotels every couple of years not too long ago.
Good god this is the stupidest reasoning. "We as a movie company don't care if we produce bad movies, because people will forget once the next movie comes out." How'd that work out with Generations, First Contact, Insurrection and Nemesis, buddy?
If you do end up going research Dubai throughly before leaving. There's a thread on PA about what shady shit that goes on there, it's not pretty. IIRC Americans can get into trouble legally by unknowingly breaking laws.

I don't think any of the TNG films really made bank in terms of cultural capital though.
I was just about to post how Dubai is one of the least Star Trek places on Earth.
It's like Far Point Station. At first you think everything is wonderful, then you find out how they made all those beautiful buildings. Then all you wanna do is fire upon them from orbit and then rip out the alien creature powering their-- you get the point.
(Lots of slave labor, poverty, despair, needless human suffering, etc)
Hmm, "Babby of time travelling alternate version of a security officer who was killed fifteen years ago" versus "clone wot is evil".
Tough call.
I mean it ties the movie and it's ending of TNG back to its.beginning and closes a sub chapter better than anything especially with data dying and all.
He could be all 'oh hey by the way I boned your mom kekeke boom!'
Evil clone stories can be entertaining when done well. Nemesis wasn't done well. They should have continued with the plan with Shinzon (who is Picard's age) replacing Picard on the Enterprise after the Romulan's kidnap the real one. A Romulan higher up the food chain would have been the big bad, who is Shinzon's superior. Another change is to replace B4 with Lore.
Really? I thought each one did pretty badly. Like, just good enough to justify a sequel but barely.

You wouldn't need a crew just tell the computer to create a military genius the likes of which hasn't been seen and if that episode where Moriaty got created is any proof you will have a genius on everyship.
Such a ship would be so overpowered it would be boring to watch. Mostly because its holo crew could never leave the ship
However, they should totally look into holographic personnel. Dudes could even work through hull breaches and life support failures and whatnot. AND it could explain a show's traditional lack of enlisted characters; the officers are the only real people.
An entire security detail of Robert Picardos...
But any way, a holodeck designed for occasional recreational use is a very different engineering problem to a holoship designed from the ground up to be on at all times. Changing that starting assumption changes pretty much everything else apart from the underlying functional principles.
Still, while an infinitely reconfigurable interior would be awesome, it wouldn't be of much use as a structural element since holodecks don't normally create a lot of matter, generally only what users are likely to pick up and examine in detail (or eat; that gets replicated just like in the cabin meal replicators), with the rest of the environment being forcefields and lasers. And we all know how reliable forcefields are under the pressure of an attack…

Star Trek Online played with this in one of the newer story arcs.
And of course, the power goes out and things get messy.
Sela sees spocks talking of reunification is gaining ground with the romulan senate so hat he's a plan with the remans to take over and give them freedom and equal rights because that's how much she hates humans. Also uses lore to manipulate data. Also was banging lore. Also Spock fights the reman not riker
In the Voyager novels the Doctor is a captain on his ship with a holo-emitter crew and security officers who are from races like Gorns. The only human on board is Barclay.
That actually sounds cool... it must be a trap.
That's Star Wars. :twisted:
The Trek novels are excellent. For the relaunched series, anyway.
The holo-emitter was a piece of 31st century tech. Starfleet can't replicate it to make a full holographic crew.
