Value Subtracted

I've added a second station, this time in Euclid. This should be easier to get to for newer players! Euclid Galaxy coordinates: bird, diplo, atlas, fish, sunset, face, galaxy, atlas, voxel, tree, rocket, galaxy #StarTrek #NoMansSky

@kcarr2015@mstdn.social Best not to dwell on such metaphysical minutia 😂

@kcarr2015@mstdn.social She's confronted and re-integrated with a version of her "shadow" self, and is trying to reconnect with the happiness she has deprived herself of since...*gestures at her backstory*.

@awilbert@mastodon.social There are no wrong ways to play!

@awilbert@mastodon.social As spoiler-free as possible, if you follow the story all the way to the centre of the galaxy, it spits you out in a new one. Most differences are negligible, though some have a higher chance of generating certain types of planets.

@Phangurl@starbase80.wtf That show is VERY uneven for the first season, and then becomes one of the greatest things ever.

@Phangurl@starbase80.wtf @kcarr2015@mstdn.social I thought perhaps it had come from the Rihannsu novels (a lot of Romulan stuff did), but it appears to have originated in "Unification, Part 1".

@Phangurl@starbase80.wtf I think it's always been portrayed as a tabloid-format paper, as opposed to the broadsheet. The graphic design in the films DEFINITELY seems to be modeled on the Post.

@Phangurl@vmst.io Star Trek Online revisited it, and got Kim Rhodes back to do the voice, along with Garrett Wang. One of the more memorable stories they did, IMO.

@AlsoPaisleyCat @OliviaVespera That said, posts still seem to federate with the monsterverse hashtag, and can be replied to directly. The post from @StillPaisleyCat should be visible on Mastodon...

@alansuspect@aus.social Thank you!

@alansuspect@aus.social The short version:

• The resolution of the DSC season 2 plot necessitated a one-way trip through a time portal that dumped them out in the 32nd century.

• About 100 years before their arrival, there was an event known as the Burn that briefly caused all dilithium to go inert simultaneously, leading to...a lot of destruction, as any ship with an active warp core went boom at once. Travel and communication became extremely difficult, a bunch of worlds seceded from the Federation, and the galaxy generally fractured into regional powers (and organized groups of pirates).

• Discovery's spore drive was critical in hopping around the galaxy, finding a new source of dilithium, and ensuring another Burn doesn't happen. Long story, not important to SFA. Planets have been rejoining the Federation ever since, including Earth.

• Other points of note: the Temporal Wars happened, and time travel is now illegal. The Romulans and Vulcans have reunified and live on Vulcan, which has been renamed "Ni'Var".

@punkonbuslives@trekkies.social It may happen as soon as this week - Tarima's uniform in the preview photos seem to be...not quite SFA, but definitely not War College.

@OrionKidder@mas.to Good news - this image ran in a recent issue of SFC magazine.

How about that. https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/study-remote-work-narcissism-9.7275176

@tewha@appdot.net The 32nd century is such an interesting setting.

@tewha@appdot.net I continue to hold out hope that they'll be able to flesh out the benefits and limitations of some of their technology with the one remaining SFA season.

@michaelharley@infosec.exchange They also produced a season of television that looked at the harmful effects of xenophobia from all angles in the year 2017. One of the most relevant topics, then and now.

@MichiganJoeFrog@mastodon.sdf.org Oh boy, a sucker for punishment! Here are some deets: System: Tondai It is in the galactic core region! Race: Korvax Economy: Scientific Conflict: Testy Signal booster: FLOR:0817:0075:07F6:0413

@alexheartnet@mindly.social "Phasers" are actually particle beams - nadion particles, to be precise. The "phase" bit supposedly refers to the way the energy is stored. https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Nadion

@Phangurl@starbase80.wtf JJJ is occasionally treated as a serious journalist, though, albeit one with a Spider-Man shaped blind spot.
