/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

For real though, I get goosebumps every time they come up with some novel use for the navigational deflector and save the day.
OC in that I made it just now, but it's very likely not the first time this comparison has been made.
I mean, it makes sense for the purposes of the lore. The deflector is the largest power using device on the ship that isn't the shields, and it can direct that energy outward. It can't solve every problem, but any problem that can be solved with "we need a lot of energy shot at this thing" then the deflector dish is what you use.
I don't remember which episode it was, but they basically state this about the deflector in one of them... TNG or Voyager, specifically.
TNG Best of Both Worlds part 1
Georgie says of the main deflector it's the only thing they have that can emit that kind of power at controlled frequencies.
