/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.

Social Media Post:
Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but theyβre probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

I have that book! It's super cool. It's themed as a document made by the military about information on the Federation that leaked into the past.
There's also diagrams of space stations and ships, and small things, like how to properly decorate sleeves and badges for rank and division.
Same man created the brilliant Star Trek Blueprints, the first detailed deck plans for the Enterprise. He did all this after his daughter took him to a Trek convention and he saw how passionate the fans were and what a need there was for material like this. It's a great story.

I read my dad's copy cover to cover as a kid, it's a great bit of fluff for fans combined with a useful prop reference. It's also fun that it's basically all hand drawn, even the text pages look l Iike a draftsman hand lettered them.
Oh man those technical drawings are MY SHIT. I got all the Star Wars ones. I'll definitely see if I can track this down
There's a certain kind of kid that grew up just eating shit like this up.
I literally just used my copy that other day for a SW5e campaign. Was picking out my ship. Also got weapons one and there's a NEW one that's hardback
