/c/TenFoward: 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.

Social Media Post:
Star Trek fans have held the national stereotype of being way too rabid about things for decades but theyβre probably the nicest fan base in all of science fiction and the one least likely to have a large faction of them absolutely lose it over a torpedo being fired by a woman or dumb shit like that

I kinda lost it when Janeway fired more photon torpedos than the ship had upon entering the Delta quadrant. Where did she get the extra torpedoes?! She's a witch!
They figured a way to fabricate their own. Like the shuttles.
Head cannon is that 1/3 of voyager is taken up by a massive shuttle manufactory. It's never discussed but it must be there...Otherwise, none of this shit makes any sense.π¬
The lower decks should have done a joke about the three ensigns on Voyager who did nothing except build shuttles the entire seven years.
"Shuttle's busted."
"What happened now?"
"Harry fell in love with a nefarious alien woman."
"Woo! I guessed right! Pay up!"
shot of betting pool titled "Reason for next shuttle rebuild"
There's a giant board on the wall of the shop with pictures of shuttles they've drawn red Xs over.
Good eye!
Sorry, I was head-canoning the scenario. I'm not claiming it was actually there.
They could do it in the shuttle bay, they wouldn't need much more space than a finished shuttle takes up. We know they have shipboard replimats for larger things, I figure replicating and building standard shuttle models on long voyages has standardized procedures and steps like Lego instructions. You only need to replicate one piece at a time saving on space. Gotta replace your shuttles somehow on those 5 years missions and the nearest Starbase is months away.
Yeah, if designing and building the Delta Flyer only took one episode, I think it's pretty safe to assume that making more shuttles is easy and boring, and that's why we don't see it. Voyager was cutting edge when she was lost too
Ex Astris Scientia calculated that Voyager lost 17 shuttles in the Delta Quadrant.
They did canonically build the Delta Flyer from scratch.
Now you know what really happened to the Kazan.

I was always sad they never explored that sort of thing in an episode, didn't have to be as big as the Delta Flyer but still!
They did it in Prodigy. The ship has a fully automated vehicle replicator (and hologram Janeway!)
