        There’s nothing to decide. Wayland is the way of the future, and Enterprise will definitively upgrade to it some time before sd. 48681, as soon as they get some free time to do it!

      You know, even with the super advanced tech of Star Trek, I still think I’d want a bit more between me and death than an energy barrier. I don’t trust technology. I like redundancy.

      I get the same feeling when I see SpaceX’s Starship do the “flip and burn” landing maneuver.

        The redundancy is the door.

        But yeah, they must have tremendous amounts of faith of the heart to have the control console for that way out in the open instead of a separate control room.

          I mean it’s all digital crystals and voice overrides right? Could have one console up close on the floor and a more secure one back in the corner and control from the bridge.

          Best case the energy barrier is also the main thing keeping the doors open so when it fails that’s what triggers them to slam closed.

          Yes and no I would guess. Yes at a lower energy level like stasis / inertia / structure integrity buffers, plus the really super duper ones can deploy at a moment’s notice in case of an emergency, though it would be more efficient to not have those particular ones on 100% of the time.

              I would guess that like flip-up cellphones followed communicators, and smartphones perhaps followed tricorders, and tablets definitely followed… ah, tablets:-), people saw Star Trek and then built those things that looked so damn cool. Life imitates art, or something.

/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.
