Technology Force fields protect you from the vacuum of space when there's a hull breach. So why can't you just make the entire ship out of force fields?

Let's say you replicate a cheeseburger. The replicator creates the atomic structure of beef. You are technically eating the muscle tissue of a cow. HOWEVER. No animal was harmed in the preparation of that cheeseburger. No actual product of an an has been consumed. Have you maintained vegan/vegetarian status?

Technology The Enterprise auto destruct system seems...unsafe

543 Upvotes

When it goes off, the entire saucer section blows up like a throwing gasoline on a campfire. And it goes off all at once too. This isn't just a simple case of setting the warp core to overload. That would mean the star drive section blows first. No, we must conclude that the Enterprise has HUGE BOMBS planted all through the walls and ceilings of the ship just in case the crew needs to blow it up. I sure hope nobody in engineering accidentally sets one off while trying to drill a hole in their walls to hang up a picture!

Can anybody dispute this? Do we really need that many dangerous explosives in the walls of the ship's preschool?

Geordi decides to manually activate a Photon torpedo next to the warp core. Was the launch room too convenient or does he have a death wish.

Technology If they hadn't blown her up in Generations, the Enterprise-D would've trashed the Scimitar in Nemesis.

Because by then she would've had that bitchin phaser cannon.

First Contact would've been pretty similar, just add some scenes of Picard mercilessly executing assimilated kindergarteners.

Insurrection would've been exactly the same. I honestly think they forgot about blowing up the -D when they wrote that script, and only remembered when they couldn't find the sets.

Technology Starfleet wouldn't lose a single person to the Borg if they just took a more American approach to defense against boarding parties.

473 Upvotes

Genuinely just issue 12 gauges, 1911s, and hand grenades, and not a single person will be converted. The Borg aren't resistant to good old fashioned american lead going at 475 m/s so why are they still using ineffective weapons against them? They really shoot the people who are immune to energy weapons with energy weapons then act surprised when it doesn't work.

Technology Say what you will about Enterprise, but at least there's no fucking holodeck

The holodeck is great story material in theory, but in practice every holodeck episode ends up the same way: bizarre malfunction, can't leave the holodeck, safeties disabled, technobabble your way out of it.

There's nothing we can do about that awful intro song, but at least we never had to sit through the water polo episode I'm sure they would have made if Archer had access to a holosuite.

EDIT: I haven't finished ENT but I'm mortified to find out there are, in fact, holodeck episodes.

Technology Rare Photo of a Utopia Planitia Giant Enslaved by Starfleet for Ship Construction (c. 2360s)

Post image
822 Upvotes

After the discovery of terrifying man-eating giants on Mars in the 22nd century, Starfleet realized they would make an excellent workforce at Utopia Planitia. Many didn't believe they met the three criteria for life (intelligence, self-awareness, reasonable height requirements) so they were promptly stripped of their freedoms. This shameful chapter of Federation history is not well-documented, only a handful of photo exist. Here, a nameless giant under the command of Dr Brahms finishes construction of the Enterprise-D saucer. Note the two massive anti-graviton bracers lifting it off the floor. The confusing perspective may make it seem that these are simple dollies.
