/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.

Imagine if the enterprise had to update all their clocks and schedules to align with Starfleet Headquarters
cannonoically, they do!
Consequence of warp speed, even long hours at impulse cause some discrepancy. They time sync with federation beacons after being out of touch for a while.
We do this now with NTP. Digital clocks have a surprising amount of drift even without relativistic effects.
Time management is already likely a nightmare in the Federation due to all the differing planets/civilizations/etc
Isn't that what the stardate is for? Since it seems unlikely humans would adopt a wildly confusing system that also doesn't seem to be related in any way to earth or its culture.
At least that's what I always assumed, the stardate is the unified federation calendar.
I was thinking about them dealing with Non-Federation planets (Romulan/Klingon/Ferengi/etc)
Oh yeah that's probably a thing, right. Didn't think of external relations
I heard Sisko received a commendation for using biogenic weapons on a planet with a 79 hour day
It was Picard performing King Lear for Q on a planet with a 6 hour day.
There was a "Men In Black" cartoon. One of the funniest episodes was that J couldn't adapt himself to MIB's 37 hour long day.
