/c/TenForward: 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. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 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.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
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'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.

I appreciate that Star Trek stuck with the idea of holograms and physical space, rather than getting into the 90s obsession with Matrix-style brain-jacking.
There was that "poor man's holodeck" for Equinox, but that's about it.
I now regret my decision.
Brain-jacking would probably be less resource intensive and save a ton of space on a ship. If they have the technology to project giant interactive holograms in a massive cargo bay or warehouse ... they would have the technology and medical tech to wire a brain. After all, the brain is just one giant processor that receives inputs .... highjack the inputs and feed the processor the right information at the right times and you can simulate anything.
in at least two episodes, technology like that was used for characters to live entire lifetimes. i wonder if the reason they rarely use that kind of tech on purpose in universe because a "bad trip" from a malfunction could last a seeming eternity
of course if the holodeck malfunctions it can very easily kill you outright. thankfully they never have any issues!
Running into the wall of the Holodeck:
Given that the holodeck can simulate different planets and is also used for training purposes my guess is that it has independent gravity plating and possibly gravity plating in all walls and ceiling as well as the floor.
There is at least one episode of Voyager where Torres goes orbital diving and stops mid dive and then stands up straight in a way that implies that the holodeck helped her reorient or at least gradually turned the normal back on. (IIRC the episode is called Extreme Risk)
That's exactly what I had in mind. Just uncertain of the in-universe explanation.
Now you are making me think of Point Break.
The good one, right?

I hope so. I didn’t watch the remake.
I wonder if taking cover behind thin sheet metal to protect from bullets is part of the joke, or unintentional.
With that series, absolutely intended.
