/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
Or even specific types of replicators themselves producing food with a specific “flavor” bias?
In DS9 - ”Blaze of Glory”, Eddington complained to Sisko that replicated food tasted, to him, like synthesized protein molecules— that, regardless of the dish, it just tasted like synthesized protein to him after having grown and eaten his own farm-fresh food while living on a Maquis colony.
While he was probably exaggerating a little bit, Sisko seemed to agree a bit, too, and is also known for growing and cooking at least some of his own food on occasion, not to mention having grown up in a restaurant run by his father on Earth that serves real food.
As we’ve seen throughout Trek, not all replicators are created equal. Sometimes, even on Starfleet ships and facilities, we see differences in performance and capability. Perhaps those on Galaxy-class starships are more fancy than those in a Starfleet runabout? We know from endless complaints that those on DS9 were pretty mediocre except for the upgraded ones in Quark’s Bar (which also served real food, btw).
