Until I enlarged the thumbnail, I at first thought this was a cross-section of a cruise ship which is a totally different type of hell.

A Ferengi ship? Interesting choice!

TIL that I’ve always been looking at them backwards. I always thought the curved section was the front.

Had to look that one up and recognized the USS Aventine from ST: Destiny. Definitely looks like a cool ship. Assuming the models of it are from ST: online?

My standard is “Fast Draw”. F-Droid

The only limitation is you can only have one widget. So if your home screen is typically widget-heavy, this probably isn’t for you.

It also only sorts apps alphabetically, but that’s how I like it, so isn’t an issue for me.

maybe they don’t use plasma at all?

Never even thought of that. There was a lot of dialog and plot points about finding alternatives to warp after the Burn, and we know they still use dilithium as a regulator, so I assumed they’re still using the same M/A reaction as before. But it’s very possible they extract the energy from the reaction in completely novel ways now.

Was just assuming the same way as we’ve always known because (checks notes) the nacelles still light up blue lol.

I could but probably won’t. I’ve already settled on DS9 mixed with a nap or 3 as my reward for surviving a really crappy and stressful week at work.

Glad I’m not the only one mortgaging their Saturday and hoping to pay it in full on Sunday 😆

Good catch. I knew Book’s ship did the fancy, in-flight reconfiguration but never caught the Discovery refit using similar capabilities. Guess it was a subtle thing I just missed.

LOL. As far as how I’d like to spend my retirement, that’s definitely in my top 3.

The Pasteur’s spherical saucer section always made me think of the Discovery from Space Odyssey.

Ooh, yeah. I always forget about the circular nacelles on Vulcan ships. They do have a certain elegance to them.

I thought she was the oddest looking ship that I had ever seen, but she QUICKLY grew on me.

Like the Triceratops of starships. Hopefully that Jurassic Park reference makes sense.

I’m not versed in the arts, but going by this definition of art deco:

the principle that various simple geometric shapes like triangles and squares are the basis of all compositional arrangements.

Oh, nice. Never heard of that but will definitely give it a go.

Also quite fond of pre-Burn Discovery’s “retro Art Deco” style.

I almost added “retro Art Deco of the Crossfield class” to my examples but wasn’t 100% sure that was right. Thanks for confirming lol. But definitely love the style of it.

And yeah, I’m still warming up to the detached nacelles of the 31st century ships. I’m assuming it makes sense in-universe, but my brain is still trying to figure out how.

Star Trek lied to us about the competency levels of our co-workers.

Definitely those two. Ep. 4 and the Klingon’s space play-fight with the Federation over the planet so they could “conquer” it was as adorable as it was believable. After 900 years, losing their homeworld, and nearly going extinct, they still hold on to their code of honor which is the only thing they really have left. Incredibly well done.

As for ep 5, I always shed a tear of happiness when a later series revisits DS9.

hanging out with Marina Sirtis for exactly one day, and I would be utterly exhausted at the idea of spending any longer than that.

@29:48 in the same video:

Well, I only do stuff that’s cult: Star Trek, Gargoyles, Sharknado. It makes sense.

–Marina Sirtis

Oh, “The Dark Veil”, yeah. It wasn’t bad but was definitely the weakest of the 5. I could swear the entire plotline was recycled if not from Trek itself then from some adjacent sci-fi.*

The only one I haven’t read is the Rios one since it’s the only one I can’t buy DRM-free. “Second Self” (the Raffi one) and “Firewall” (the Seven one) were both excellent.

*Or maybe the reclusive aliens on the ark ship in Dark Veil were just similar enough to the reclusive Caeliar and their planet ship in ST: Destiny that I had read shortly before.
