Definitely worth getting into. Seasons 2-4 are some of the best sci-fi ever produced

djmarcone,

Imo it is the best when considering the completeness of the plot lines and character arcs, and how the entire series was written basically as a whole.

The best sci-fi series to feature Zima!

Babylon 5 is brilliant and you should really give it another shot.

startrekexplained,

Will do

Thisfox, in What's the consensus here regarding Babylon Five?

It is brilliant. It is superb. It is My Show.

I hang out here because trekkies are cool too, but I cosplay Bab at Dragoncon, not trek.

It’s good watch it

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks, in Newly Discovered Spiders Get Star Trek-Inspired Names

My hopes for punny tng names were dashed by normal tos names. No giant Worf spider or trapicardoor spider or geordilaforgeweaver spider.

ValueSubtracted, in What is the best community for discussing Star Trek tech?
@ValueSubtracted@startrek.website avatar

Good question - this one’s a little case-by-case.

If the focus of what you’re discussing is specifically Star Trek, the general c/StarTrek community would be fine. If you’re looking to get serious and in-depth with it, c/DaystromInstitute would also work.

If the primary focus is on the real world and the Trek connection is more tangential (examples: “cell phones were inspired by communicators” or “this new medical device is kind of like a tricorder”), it’s probably more appropriate for Quark’s. But there are some edge cases in there, and we’re unlikely to be fussy if something ends up in c/StarTrek instead.

CTH2004,

thanks!

Sounds like for a good amount of my ideas are for Daystrom (It’s on looking at the different transporters, and how to maybe combine them)

that seems like a pretty clear sign you are a shitty bunch of people to work for

They certainly need some way to push back against the ridiculous pressure and low pay they’re expected to deal with without losing their jobs over it.

Ideally, other VFX houses across the industry will follow.

StillPaisleyCat, in Is anyone planning to get Star Trek - Infinite? I never got into Stellaris, but this looks like it could be fun.
@StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website avatar

I’m going to. I’ve been waiting for a Star Trek release on Steam so will reward the developers by getting in early.

@End0fLine@startrek.website avatar

Absolutely. I have probably spent hundreds of hours on Sins of a Solar Empire, and though this isn’t that, it is similar enough with a Star Trek coat. I’m sure I will get hundreds of hours out of this one as well!

milkisklim,

I feel like Sins would be a perfect game to do a BSG based 4x game. With all the build fighters or bombers squadron decisions, or the reliance on capital ships.

ThatHermanoGuy, in Is anyone planning to get Star Trek - Infinite? I never got into Stellaris, but this looks like it could be fun.

I’d have to try it to know for sure, but that video makes it look pretty boring.

The_Picard_Maneuver, in Getting a lot of blank pictures on Lemmy-UI (SOLVEDish-look at newest comment)
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

I’m getting this too, as well as some image posts occasionally not federating, and lots of error messages about “voting failed”, “failed to mark as read”, etc.

I know there were some expected temporary performance issues after switching hosts, but would that still be happening a week or so later?

xusontha,

Some of the image stuff for me is just my device caching urls that change, but I don’t know why so many urls are changing

I’m not getting the failed to vote thing, but maybe that’s because you are using startrek.website as your instance instead of another; probably just timing out because whenever I pull up the site it is always a bit slow to load

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

I post a lot, and multiple people on other instances have messaged me this week complaining that our images show up intermittently for them too.

I don’t know enough about the technical side of lemmy to even hazard a guess though.

xusontha,

Yeah, all I can tell is that the url of the file on the server seems to be changing and devices are caching the old url. Using a different image hosting service like imgflip/catbox.moe/selfhosted image server for the image uploads would probably solve that problem, but that’s pretty much the extent of my knowledge

I am, I love Stellaris and have played the NH mod, but I like the idea of one essentially built from the ground up as a Star Trek grand strategy game.

The_Picard_Maneuver,
@The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website avatar

I wonder how it’ll feel for someone like me who never played Stellaris.

Olgratin_Magmatoe,

If you’ve ever played a 4x game before, it’s not too hard to pick up. Stellaris is a fantastic game, and I’ve sunk quite a few hours into it.

With that said, sometimes they drop the ball on DLCs, and the late game gets bogged down/boring, so it’s worth waiting for player reviews to come back before getting it.
