/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. 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.

So long as you're in the right timeline/universe. I'm not sure I'd fit into the Terran Empire that well.
No, don't live on Earth in Star Trek.
As the functional capital of the federation and HQ of starfleet, its like living in DC comics Metropolis. Every damned alien race capable of plotting has a secret plot on Earth. Whether its some weird parasitic bugs taking over the admiralty, the borg, the romulans, the Dominion, or the upstart of the week, the casualty/injury rate has to be pretty horrific.
Mars is theoretically ideal, but get targeted because of the massive public shipyards, so it has a time limit of being good.
Jupiter, however, has less well known shipyards and all those moons to explore. It never gets outright attacked or destroyed, even the Borg just go past it. Jupiter is the place to be.
You want an m class planet, not just a dome. There are tons of nice planets that were early colonies that are fully developed now.

It's quite easy too. UBI.
Musk has a good talking point about a Star Trek future instead of skynet. But he is part of the cabal going for skynet. Just because Skynet will be programmed for US government and military supremacy in political service to its zionist oligarchy, doesn't make skynet less of your enemy.
we represent the vegan space socialists who are always right.
you guys are the worst.
we know.

Send me to the elder scrolls just after the Warp in the West stops making time fucky, by the time anything interesting happens I should be set up to comfortably avoid it. I'll just stay the fuck away from Morrowind and find a nice defensive city during the Oblivion Crisis, guess id bunker down in Winterhold since it would still be packed with mages.
Well, except for the Borg and all that stuff.
I think I would want one where there was no big bad.
Shit, I'll take Mordor at this point
At least Sauron owns being evil.
Just want to point out that The Enterprise is like the nicest, most exclusive, most elite ship in the Federation. Most people living in the Star Trek universe don't have access to replicators or holodecks or highly-trained doctors.
Like it's basically a super cruise ship with all the bells and whistles. Even if you're onboard, chances are you're a lower decks crew member.
I think replicators are fairly standard, depending on which trek ofc.
Holodecks and highly trained doctors, no.
I take your point, it's like being a billionaire today vs being a regular everyday person. So we'd be comparing their healthcare, tech and gizmos to an everyday person.
Everyday person still has like semidecent healthcare compared to a few hundred years ago and you could quite easily buy pretty good gear yourself for certain basic medical things. Basic wound care, emergency medicine, get an ultrasound and learn to read it to scan your body in a rudimentary fashion if you'd like. Get yourself some EEG. You can easily get either (but prolly rather low maybe low-mid tier) for around 100 western money units. You train yourself rudimentary but still quite advanced medicine that doctors 80 years would've have had no idea of. Medications you'd have a trouble getting obviously, but aside from prescription meds..
So assuming a certain bottom level of technology, but also technological availability, replicators are pretty common, you can prolly quite easily get one for yourself and then you're pretty much off to the races. Surely there's things it can't build but yeah.
I'd much rather be some somewhat poor shmuck in the ST universe than a moisture farmer on Tatooine.
Also, lower decks? Fucking aces count me in. Love that shit. And I do mean both the show but also the ranks if I were on the Enterprise. I'd happily be a mid-tier NCO instead of a bridge officer. Seems more heroic yeah sure, but doing that 247 would be kinda tiring to be honest. Mid-tier NCO's have so much more agency. And still get to guest star sometimes. Although the rate of change of the redshirts under me would probably make me have to do a lot of interviews... hmmm...
If you're talking about earth then doctors and replicators are standard. People that don't have replicators are unusual. Holodecks do use a lot of energy so I'm not sure how common they are, probably more like a theater would be as an amenity for a city not one on every corner. They had free teleportation on earth with some usage restrictions so the holodecks would probably be free but with like a once a week usage or limited appointments.
