/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.

~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.

Fun will now commence.

I've always thought that was a nice subtle visual reinforcement of the problems in Cardassian culture.

It's such a basic courtesy to flatten or ramp areas like that.

And violating it is such asshole design. It fits the Cardassian vibe.

Plus, you know some Cardassian engineer got promoted for the money savings of having one-size-fits-nothing hull sections.

I recall moments in the first episode where Federation officers have to consciously remember to step over. It's such a nice touch, and fits the vibe of the episode.

I might be giving too much credit, but the set and props designers in Trek do have a history of doing cool stuff like this that goes largely unnoticed.
