I wonder what the reasoning was behind the prop designer's Genesis Device interface was? Because it's not really a terrible idea in terms of a "do you really want to do this" redundancy mechanism goes, but it's also not exactly something someone would normally think of either.

Edit: And now I read this and it's made me grumpy. https://www.reddit.com/r/startrek/comments/18o512g/star_trek_ii_was_there_ever_an_inuniverse/

Star Trek is so full of those horrible interfaces that you aren't actually expected to use. I really like (or dislike? I duno) the ejection mechanism of the ships outer plating, that not only require a lot of meaningless movement, but also expect two people to do it at the same time.

The worse thing is, I can really imagine people making something like this.

Ceti Alpha V uses Mario Time Units (MTU) rather than Standard Seconds. After being there so long Khan was just used to it.

Does that mean they double in speed when it gets to under 100?

[-] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

Of course it does. Helps with the action suspense thing.

I wish you had never linked to that thread. I had never thought about it. It was always a Hollywood countdown thing. But now? Just pure confusion.

/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.
