Re: Worst Possible Star Trek Plot
I think there should be a ship's parrot that sits on a perch on the bridge. At random intervals it should repeat something somebody says in a screeching voice.
The parrot should serve no other function in the story whatsoever.

Re: Worst Possible Star Trek Plot
BTW, the bridge staff should be depicted as directing all operations from a large hot tub. There would be bubbles, of course, to humor the censors, but everything should be done from a tub.

Don't forget the espresso machines and massage tables on the bridge, either.

Re: Worst Possible Star Trek Plot
Can there be booze and strippers on the bridge, too?

Re: Worst Possible Star Trek Plot
In fact, the duty officer should be summarily exceuted if booze and strippers aren't present in sufficient amounts.
Actually, there should probably be a couple of go-go cages hung from the ceiling of the bridge.

Re: Worst Possible Star Trek Plot
Maybe a Benihana's-style grill table somewhere near the back?
Since the ship separates into 220 individual ships, the bridge would of course be an independent pleasure yacht, and would need it's own galley and storeroom for booze.

Just take all that tactical crap out of the bannister that runs behind the command chair and turn it into a wet bar.

Re: Worst Possible Star Trek Plot
Since we have agreed that there HAVE to be families on board, there have got to be regular field trips to the bridge, engineering, computer core, and auxillery control. At least three or four times a season, we should see what kind of trouble an 8 year old can start on the ship when they decide they want to "drive" or play "computer", or fix the broken engine.

While we're on it, I think the ship should look like the Fesarius: basically a giant ball composed of little balls. Except rather than being gold, the little ships will be painted rainbow colors, so that the whole thing looks like a gumball machine.Tsukiyumi wrote:Since the ship separates into 220 individual ships,
How about regular tours at 20 minute intervals? So about three times per episode, especially during tense battle scenes, a whole classroom full of annoying children will pile onto the bridge. I imagine that the ship will have about 800 crew, all captains, and about 8-12 thousand civilians.Mark wrote:Since we have agreed that there HAVE to be families on board, there have got to be regular field trips to the bridge, engineering, computer core, and auxillery control.
