/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.

Wouldn't a cross dressing Ferengi just be a nudist?

It was a transmasc situation

[–] hopesdead@startrek.website 2 points 1 day ago

We have to assume this was after the reforms Zek enacted took affect.

Upon finding out he'd comment something about how "Gays make more money so this is good for business."

There's probably a rule of acquisition about that

Rule of Acquisition 301, The more inclusive your business is, the more avenues of income you have

Can we appreciate the beautiful 3D printed set? Lots of time must’ve gone into modeling and printing that!

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Scouring the web for STLs right now, gotta have my Quark's playset 🥰.

[–] Lydia_K@startrek.website 3 points 1 day ago

I didn't notice that detail! That's amazing!

Except for Odo. He can be fluid at will.

Maybe it's like water in Spanish: if it's one it's "el água" and if it's multiple it's "las águas". It changes genders on plurality. Truly gender-fluid.

[–] eldavi@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 day ago

gender-fluid in every sense of both stem words. lol

[–] tordenflesk@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I wanna take you to ferenginar

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 6 points 2 days ago

Do you have any latinum?

I want to spend all your latinum

[–] grue@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

AFAIK it's the only bar, so of course it's the gay bar by default.

[–] Lydia_K@startrek.website 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They never said he was the ONLY bar, they just never mentioned another one. Aside from when Martis moved in, but he didn't last long. He did have the only holosuites on the station.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

They may not be canon, but reconstructions of the Promenade e.g. in Star Trek Online have only Quark's.

Also, I found this picture of a Promenade directory on Memory Alpha:

It lists "Spacely Sprockets," among other things, but no other bars.


Also, now I've got to go re-watch DS9:"Rivals" because I didn't remember it at all, so thanks for that!

And Tom Servo's Used Robots.

[–] klu9@lemmy.ca 3 points 2 days ago

If my skills were better, I'd come up with the perfect combo of Alan Ruck's character from Generations, and Alan Ruck's character from Spin City when he decides to open a gay bar.

[–] marlowe221@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

That is amazing
