    I got the Enterprise, & the Type-2 phaser and communicator set; it didn’t hurt too much. The price on this tricorder is eye-watering. Apparently, nostalgia is expensive.

    Edit: I have a cheaper, plastic version. This kit is aluminum; it’s still pricey, but seems justified.

      What I actually want is a modern smart phone that’s built to look like a tricorder.

        Most of it could be hollow, proving you with a cool murse/purse in the bargain! People would mock you for having a murse, but then you’d crush them by showing that it’s actually a fully functional tricorder. Only you would know its mursey secret.

        And then everyone would clap.

          Is murse a portmanteau of man and purse?

              It disgusts me.

              I don’t think adding a man- prefix adds masculinity though. More like signals one’s own insecurity. But I once saw man-wipes on someone’s restroom, so what do I know?

/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. 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.
