Risa: Your Home Away from Spacedock

Welcome to Risa

All the pleasure of shore leave, none of the holodeck glitches.

Rule 1 — Be Civil, Not KlingonThis is a vacation planet, not the neutral zone.

  • No harassment, brigading, or trolling
  • No bigotry
  • Keep the banter playful, not hostile

Rule 2 — No Prohibited CargoSome things aren’t welcome aboard.

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW memes must be properly tagged

Rule 3 — Keep It TrekPosts should be Star Trek memes or Trek-adjacent humor.

  • Crossovers are fine
  • Low-effort “unrelated” memes may be spaced out the nearest airlock

Rule 4 — Gatekeeping Belongs in a Black Hole
You’re welcome to have your own opinions on what counts as “real” Star Trek but forcing your view on others or pretending it’s the only valid one? That’s not the Starfleet way.
Everyone’s Trek is valid, from TOS purists to Lower Decks shitposters, and you don't get to dictate what is real or not for everyone.

If you see a post that violates the rules, or that doesn't inspire Jamaharon, report it so the mods can handle it.

Otherwise grab a horga’hn, order a Risan Mai Tai, and enjoy your shore leave.

Because they are incredibly energy inefficient. 10x the energy to travel the same distance. They will never be a mainstream thing.

But no traffic.

People can barely manage two dimensions, three dimensions is going to be a shit show.

It'll be autonomous.

And 2d cars will be autonomous by 2015

Buh? If you're doubting just think it through. All those tricky situations don't exist up there (no one darting into traffic etc), everything will have a transponder so you know where everyone is, etc. It's way easier up there. Amazon drones are already autonomous.

I'm so glad you're not in charge of anything that matters.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

Ah attacks. Reported and moving on.

Flight corridors are a thing

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

That doesn't really change anything. Everything with a transponder and transmitting flight intention makes it much simpler.

[–] cassandrafatigue@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Lol, yes traffic.

[–] someguy3@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Once you can stack and layer traffic jams pretty much go away.
