From September 9th at 8am PT until September 20th at 12pm PT, on all platforms, there will be a special Starfleet Museum in orbit above Deep Space Nine and Earth Space Dock. The museum contains the starring ships from Star Trek movies, television, and more. Hailing each ship will give you words from their crew, and both in universe and behind the scenes facts about the ship and show. Hailing all ten of the ships will grant you a special title: Historical Documents Expert.

Emphasis in bold is my own.

Agreed. I'd say that Nemesis theme with Blue Skies is a close second. "A New Ending"

[–] Indy@startrek.website 1 points 2 weeks ago

Now I have the ahhh ahhh in my head again. I like the OG opening, but hate the choral part.

[–] Indy@startrek.website 2 points 3 weeks ago

I'd say it's about time the T5 coupons get given away the way the T6X's have been recently.

I'm considering either the battlecruiser bundle or the Picard bundle. I don't "need" either, but they are the next bundles on my "list". Well, aside from Mudd's.

[–] Indy@startrek.website 2 points 1 month ago

Ja, but that is gut, nicht? :-)

July 25, 2024 (8 AM PT) - August 15, 2024 (12 PM PT)

  • Event: Participate in 6 different space Task Force Operations (TFOs) to earn progress towards the Event Campaign Grand Prize.
    • Defense of Starbase One
    • To Hell with Honor
    • Battle of the Binary Stars
    • Remain Klingon
    • Operation Riposte
    • Best Served Cold
  • Grand Prize: Temporal Disorder Console (unlocked after 14 days of event progress)
    • The splinter of a Boreth time crystal located at the heart of this console draws four duplicates of your vessel from different timestreams. As they appear they automatically move to defend their progenitor, taunting the enemies around them. When they expire they explode in a cascade of deadly radiation which holds enemies caught in the blast for a number of seconds and provides your impulse engines with a valuable boost. This technology can make your ship temporarily Immune to All Damage, by causing a massive tachyon surge that causes your ship to briefly flicker in the space-time continuum. This effect is triggered when your ship's Hull Capacity drops below half, but may only occur once every 60 seconds.

  • Event Campaign VI Participation: This event contributes to the overall Event Campaign VI.

You've heard of the "Bechdel-Wallace test" and its potential value to some people in measuring various media in a given context.

I propose a measure we'll call the "Captain and Crew Test"....

I was enduring -- yes, that's the word I'll choose -- an episode of a certain Trek show and found myself thinking that I seem to enjoy Star Trek shows where the captain isn't the center of attention for the continued story, rather the crew as a whole (including the captain as professionally and relatively required) works together on the story of the day or is portrayed in multiple dimensions without the commanding officer present.

So, here's my attempt at codifying this "Captain and Crew Test":

  • The episode/show has to have at least two crew members (i.e. not the captain) essential to the story,
  • who interact with each other without the captain,
  • about the story without specific direction from the captain

I think these "rules" could use some adjustment and addition, but I think you get what I'm proposing/suggesting/inciting.

UPDATE 2024-07-04 04:35:34 UTC: Check out the quick and amazing work by @danielquinn@lemmy.ca to compile a subset of the percentage of lines for each character in a few Star Trek shows.
