  • What I want from Trek:

    ✅️ A sensible tone, mostly serious and sometimes silly. Like real life.
    ✅️ An exploration of morals, ethics and the human condition, aligned with the mostly utopian future depicted by 80s and 90s Trek.
    ✅️ An episodic plot that is not overrun by a season arc but not devoid of character development.
    ✅️ Occasional fun episodes with dress up and jokes.
    ✅️ Full orchestral score.
    ❌️ Too many action scenes and explosions.
    ❌️ Too much budget on CGI.
    ❌️ Over the top cheesy fan service.
    ❌️ Rewriting canon.
    ❌️ Excessively American oriented script.
    ❌️ Lazy storytelling.
    ❌️ Reusing plot devices.




  • This kind of idea has been floating around for a while but it takes a really smart person a decent amount of time to get a proof of concept off the ground that will excite other people and create momentum.

    Your idea is a little nieve and could be accomplished in much more efficient ways using things like hashes and checksums. A new p2p protocol would need to be developed for the use case of real time messaging and historical message histories.

    There are already some concept peer to peer messaging apps that use wireless to create mesh networks for the scenario of total internet or power collapse.





  • Your character is at full power from day 1, so you only get stronger by learning to play better. The naval combat can take a bit of time to master but it’s fun. The only thing you get for playing a long time are cosmetics. If you want to get sweaty with PvP then you can find a group on the SoT discord. Otherwise, for more casual play you can sail solo or join other players using the open crew matchmaking system. I have around 1700 hours in the game and it’s just as fun as when I started.




  • All creatures, including humans, possess instinctual knowledge. This is stuff we are born with. For instance: fear of snakes, or estinating how much protein is in our food by taste. Some of our instinctual knowledge is about mate selection since procreation is a very important goal for a species. We use our nose to detect if others are a good immune system match, and we use our eyes to see if they are sick or unhealthy and also assess their ability to nurture children. That last part is where the boobs come in. They make breast milk and so they are a feature that gives pleasure to see. There is no choice about it. We like what we like because of our genetic programming.
