/c/TenForward: 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. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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.

And it took O'Brien to figure out how to not have it shake itself apart with a warp core meant for a much larger ship. Something the dedicated engineers at the ship design division couldn't solve.

I know he's the most important person in Starfleet history, but even so, I find it sus that he could do in two weeks what the starship designers couldn't figure out at all with essentially unlimited time and resources. Surely their "miracle worker" engineers aren't all in deep-space postings on starships or space stations, right?

I always head-canon that it was related to his specific experience dealing with the Cardassuan crap on DS9.

i headcanon it was the phase inverters in the, um, transporter buffers

He had several lifetimes to think about it.
