Ask Lemmy

I can tell you what colour of uniform I wouldn't wear!

Riza simulation

Full Barklay

Well, it'll probably involve tentacles, I can tell you that much.

Bunny Island!!!

Insert funny porn joke.

But in all seriousness? A fully immersive, 100% realistic Dungeons and Dragons game with my friends. Exactly the same as we would run it at our table. We'd hop down to the replicators and holo-disguise generators and make ourselves up like our characters, and I'd just follow them around in a spooky mysterious robe and narrate the story.

That's it. I would run the best D&D game ever, the game of a lifetime, for my best friends.

Simulate a holodeck.

Then simulate myself simulating a holodeck inside that holodeck.

Then...

Can I use to learn the technology of the Star Trek era?
~~Steal all the patterns~~ Invent unlimited energy, the safe teleportation not the crappy one from early ages, replicator technology, cancer cure, and medicine.

Create a Westworld-type environment.

5 minutes with Seven of Nine

Fuck simulations of real-life environments, I’d run a fantasy RPG campaign.

Play DnD first-person

Probably use the processing power for something else.

Honestly? The first thought that goes through my head is exactly how strong and responsive the force fields can get. IIRC they can do bullets, as well as the texture and movement of anything normal. So, probably some benchmark involving a bucket of paint I brought in. Start with the paint, then do weird things with the bucket.

There are a lot of good answers, probably some good simulators of things that already exist, programs people have made... I would test the ship's AI/learning capabilities, show it some old photos of my family and of memories past and see if it can recreate things like that. Since I don't have video of these people, I'd have to fine-tune their personalities and I'd have to remind myself I'd always be looking back — being that they aren't real people, I wouldn't be able to ask them about things they don't really know about or anything like that. It would be (more) interesting if we had input from a bunch of people who knew them, to sort of fill out the personality and try to remove biases.

But yeah, I think I'd start by showing it every photo I have of my childhood home and try to go back there, just to see it again.

And yeah, you can kinda/sorta do stuff like that now, there are programs... but that's my answer.

Infinite downhill MTB track.

Find some way to jam the door so that no one can ever drag me out.

See if I can hook it into SteamVR and launch Resonite in there.

Might need some virtual controllers to do menu button stuff, but that should be easy.

Depends on what frame of mind I'm in. In a sufficiently devil-may-care mood, I might try and create a Moriarty. Or better, role play as one.

Or figure out how deeply it's possible to nest holodeck simulations before things get funky.

I could be a Q without any collateral damage. Torment Picard and Janeway. Get punched by Sisko. Roll it all back. Q's done the same.

Be a (male) Mary Sue in any TV show universe I've ever watched and not be judged for poor writing... Although O'Brien did appear to think he could discern sarcasm from the Enterprise computer from time to time.

And of course there's the thing that Riker, Barclay and LaForge, if not a good many of the rest of the crew almost certainly got up to in there... I'd be stupid to think I'd not try that at least once.

Used or new?

I would want to do so many things. I would want to do a ninja warrior type course, but with adjusted gravity or something. I'd make it into a gym with everything I need for my workout. That or maybe recreate a sports stadium and watch football from today, because I missed all of it? The possibilities are endless

Computer, show me the warp core!

Set myself up as Spider-Man. Its what I wanted to do since I was 7. Then some weird sex stuff.

Install Doom.
