Regen shields which I thought came from the Klingons but I could be wrong The Borg were the first race to use them, according to Memory Alpha at least. Starfleet also uses them on new ships such as the Prometheus. The relevant Article if anyone is interested; http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Regener...

Oh well, they don't have to join. All I care is that I enjoy it here.

Do we actually get talked about in other places?

We're the crazy uncle everyone keeps locked up in the closet... no one talks about us.

Give these a shot. http://maps.forum.nu/gm_sky.html Really just images you zoom through but pretty http://www.solstation.com/map27ly.htm Think this is more like what you're after though it only covers a limited radius.

Yeah, I thought I remembered something about that shadow thread bit but wasn't sure. On a side note, if you do start using Troops I may be interested in joining up with the RP deal (next Round/Game/whatever it is you call it), just waiting to see how it all works out. Edit: If I do though I am so to...

It would be nice to have well thought out Wars & Battles again, so many of these are just so pointless and vague, the OP doesn't even bother to give his two sense or even return it seems...

What I'm saying though is that there is no reason to say he would not be given a similar opportunity. Voyager was a small ship alone, it would be foolish if everyone was a Commander and thus promotions could not just be handed out, now that he is back he should be fast tracked to the rank he would n...

BTW - after talking with doctors who have worked both in national healthcare nations and the US, national healthcare scares me a bit. I have medical conditions that really can't wait 6 mos to 2 years before I have a hemoglobin A1C test, or an echocardiogram, or a stress test. Thats greed talking re...

I don't suppose there is any way to link it (Have the same thread 'appear' in both Sections? That way all discussion happens in one thread to simplify it. If you just create a thread there talking about it then you get ideas in both which may be redundant or incomplete to people who do not read the ...

Or even 1 v 1 since we have had at least one of those.

Well, Kim went seven years performing numerous vital tasks to the survival of VOY and its crew (even dying!) and was still stuck as an ensign. In the Alternate Timeline though he was given a Command, though the amount of time that passed between the return and his Command is unclear. Janeway was pr...

Yeah, it's unfortunate that people see the extreme end of the spectrum and assume that we're all isomegahypernerds who wear Starfleet uniforms to the supermarket... Yep, I will freely admit to anyone that I'm a Trekkie, I don't care if people look down at me for that, its what I am. I don't own a U...

Yeah I've checked out a few other trek forums and came to the sad yet ammusing conclusion that WE are the most hardcore trek forum around. Basically every other forum is pull of ultimate trek fanboys circle jerking to ultimate wanktastic ships and how amazing Kirk is. 90% of their topics are positi...

Really? I would have expected him to have a Command by now, unless he doesn't want one. Please tell me he is at least the First Officer then, putting him back at Tactical after 7 years on Voyager seems a slap in the face to me.

*Avoid romance at all costs. Sure it is an easy way to pander to your audience and bring in readers you might not get other wise but it is a cheap plot trick and always ends up ruining a good story. I agree in general terms but if it is well thought out and well executed a relationship can be an im...
