  1. Welcome aboard guys! Job well done! Looking forward to bumping into some of you in the fleet!
  2. Damn that radio interference. Laughed far too hard at this.
  3. Nice! A bigger class. I hope you all had fun, and welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing you guys in the fleet!
  4. Defiant is pretty sick, but I love the venerable Miranda. Call me a sucker for nostalgia, but name another ship with the flexibility and the service life of the Miranda. Work horse of the Federation for over a century and a half! That nose art on your defiant picture does make me want to do a Defiant model kit with some custom decals....
  5. Awesome work guys! Congrats. Welcome to the fleet!
  6. Gimme that Excelsior life! I'll take that rust bucket for another century of service.
  7. Let me start off by saying I enjoyed both Picard and Discovery and am eagerly waiting for the next seasons of both! That being said, the frustration I have with both shows is the format. I miss the episodic story telling of TNG, VOY, DS9, and TOS. Each episode is a new 50 minute adventure with it's own plot. Occasionally you'd get a to be continued, and sometimes the plot arcs would link together, but most of the time each episode was it's own self-contained plot. That style of storytelling opened to door for much more character development across the whole cast, and it allowed the writers to explore the universe and current events. Both Discovery and Picard go with a season wide plot. It's like watching a 10 hour movie instead of a series of episodes and therefore the writers really only get to tell one big story. The styling is so different from the episodic style that the feeling of the show is going to be different. Different isn't bad, it's just different. I love that Picard and Discovery brought the fandom into the modern age and wasn't afraid to show off the dark aspects of the Trek universe. Grittiness is inherent in life. I do long for an episodic format of show though, as I feel like it allows the writers to explore trek as a whole more. My two cents.
  8. I just love how we all were picturing these giant tunneling ant creatures, and then out of no where here comes Teller with this:
  9. Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoyed the class! It can be a lot of fun. Looking forward to bumping into you out in the fleet!
  10. Way to go everyone and welcome aboard! Looking forward to hopefully meeting you in the fleet!
  11. I really loved the JP below. The three of them really did a stand-up job of setting the scene for the Embassy's transition to the Thor's first mission. Really well executed writing which gave a great "cinematic" set piece to the send off. I kept seeing slow sweeping shots of this great starship sliding through space in my mind's eye. Well done gents!
  12. Great work guys. Hope you enjoyed writing in the class. Hope to see you out in the fleet. Welcome aboard!
  13. Excellent work! I hope you enjoyed the class/intro/training. Welcome to the group!
  14. Way to go ! Welcome aboard!
  15. Welcome aboard! Glad to see other new writers around!
  16. Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
