Hi everyone,

We've now upgraded to v0.19.5 - this update includes the changes from v0.19.4, which we had not yet upgraded to. This is a relatively big one, and you can find details here:

v0.19.4

v0.19.5


Here are some of the user-facing highlights:

  • There is now a dropdown option to hide posts.

  • You can now view and delete all images you've previously uploaded.

  • Federation has been improved in a number of ways. It's now possible to federate with Wordpress, Discourse, and NodeBB. Federation with Mastodon has been improved, and we should now be federated with more servers on that platform. Most posts to our communities should automatically receive a hashtag matching the community's name (e.g., #startrek, #daystrominstitute, etc.). This is dependent on the poster's home instance, though, so only posts from servers which are running v0.19.4 or higher will receive the hashtags.

  • There's now a user setting to change how votes are displayed - you can see or hide upvotes, downvotes, score, upvote %, or none.


I'd also like to remind you that we have two alternative interfaces available:

Edit: We also have a wiki, which is open to users who feel inspired to develop resources for this community!


Finally, we remain eternally grateful to all users who are able to support startrek.website by contributing to our Patreon - your generosity helps to keep the lights on!

It pains me, I blame everyone else.

Okay, I actually find it somewhat refreshing and/or hilarious when a writer eats some humble pie about some narrative nonsense.

I have to admit, I didn't even notice this specific occurrence - by this point, it was kind of a layer cake of nonsense, which...is not unusual for RTD season finales.

This sounds a lot like a defense of the episode, but it's not meant to be, not really. I just don't mind this specific narrative cheat, I guess.

But my takes will be lukewarm by then, at best...

Brinley at S&P Global Mobility says the rise of SUVs is a reflection of consumers' desire to get greater utility out of their vehicles, which means the capacity to move more people and cargo.

Adams said when choosing a vehicle, most SUV buyers don't make their decision based on something that's going to satisfy "95 to 99 per cent" of their driving needs, which is commuting and running errands.

"They purchase their vehicle for the one weekend of the year when 'I tow my boat up to the lake and I want to make sure I can do that,'" he said, noting "it is ironic when they make that purchase and then complain about high gas prices."

At this point, I'm giving up on the linear channels, and am keeping my attention on the app.

Of course, the app doesn't seem to contain information about what's "coming soon," so the season might just...appear there one day.

I think the secret to its success is that it puts narrative first, which makes it adaptable to all sorts of Star Trek nonsense.

I just wish the rulebook didn't embrace that ethos quite as much as it does!

It is a pretty gorgeous book - my biggest complaint is that it can be hard to quickly find and reference specific rules during gameplay. I'm hopeful that the Second Edition will have some imrpovements on that front.

Oh yeah, that makes sense!

The other unique aspects are interesting...

I guess we'll see how it all plays out...

I'm intrigued by Gwyn's uniform - it looks almost, but not quite, Starfleet-issue.

Well, there was the FASA game from the 80s, and Decipher had one in the 2000s.

Modiphius is the current license-holder, and has published both the First Edition under discussion here, and has a Second Edition coming out later this year.

Either way, their dimensions are so different that I guess it would be pretty hard to determine which has the greater internal volume.
