Earth almost always seems to have a very light Starfleet presence in terms of big ship count (not counting small shuttles or civilian passenger liners). In TOS and TNG, whenever the Enterprise visits Earth, it is usually the only ship seen there. In the TOS movies you see a couple other ships in...

D is the best one. Elegant and curvy.

I never found Neelix to be insufferable. He wasn't my favorite character but he wasn't unlikeable. I found most of the rest of Voyager's cast to be less likeable. The engineer lady constantly blowing up at everyone. Tuvok who was as boring as a wall. Harry Kim who... existed. Chakotay who had no...

Even if we put aside whether or not Starfleet is a military, they inhabit an adventure setting where ships are getting into violent altercations every week. They are adventurers. They should be ready for combat.

I liked the Federation as a truly good and honorable utopia in ToS and early TNG. It was part of the escapist fantasy of Star Trek. A civilization worth fighting for. I disliked how it was twisting into an increasingly inept, negligent, and morally bankrupt state - just like any modern state -...

Personally, when it comes to high fantasy like Star Trek and Star Wars, I'm not really bothered by the specifics. I'm here to have fun, not read a technical manual. I think the lack of viewscreens fits the WW2 look that Star Wars goes for. Viewscreens solved a storytelling problem for TV in that...

I'd say that the decline began in late TNG and DS9, when the Federation and overall tone of the narrative began moving from an idealistic future nation in space, to just the United States but in space. The Federation was interesting not because it was yet another morally bankrupt state in space...

I feel like if you're going to make a super hard sci fi design, you mind as well go all the way, like the Venture Star from Avatar, which had multiple methods of propulsion and such (deploys a sail that is pushed by a laser when leaving the Sol system and to stop when returning, uses fuel...

There are countless games with a high fidelity, photorealistic look, and few pull them off in a way that looks good (FFXV, DMCV). Something with a distinctive artstyle would be more memorable. Why not a game that looks like Mitch O’Connell's art?

I was under the impression that Dominion ships were so ridiculously powerful that their weapons could blast through shields. The season 2 finale that introduced the Dominion showed them curbstomping a galaxy class and breaching DS9.

I never liked early Wesley, but I didn't utterly hate the character. I agree with @Lord Sovereign that if he had been framed as a young man learning from his elders, he would have been likeable. He became more likeable after he stopped being a regular and occasionally came back as a guest. I...

Should've picked one of STO's more unique looking designs, like the Destiny.

TOS was classic sci fi. It had fun characters yes but the stories weren't about the characters. It was about a new, interesting idea every week. Wrath of Khan was a space opera. Yes, it brought Star Trek back after TMP, but WoK fundamentally isn't Star Trek. It's a completely different genre...

To be fair, Tom was apparently one of the bestest pilots ever in the history of Starfleet, and he invented the Delta Flyer. That's talent you do not want to waste. Every Trek character (besides maybe the TOS cast) has screwed up a lot. As for Bashir specifically, his character was wonky...

Dunno if the (Berman era) Federation could be bothered to help out the rebels. The Feddies sold out their own people to the Cardassians, and wound up helping the Cardassians suppress those colonists and freedom fighters. IIRC the Klingon Empire also engaged in slavery in TNG, and yet the Feddies...

Yeah the D'deridexs are iconic in my mind. Too bad they never appeared in the movies. Those generic birds of prey in Nemesis were bleh. You can play as a faction of a remnant fleet of Romulans in STO (the closest you're going to get to a canon continuation of Trek). You have to pick to ally...

Biggest off to me was the Prime Directive. On the surface level, the Prime Directive makes sense. It's to discourage Starfleet from being imperialistic. Good intentions may wind up to one thing naturally leading to another. "Oh, should uplift these people" "we know best. Do what we say". "If we...
