A solarpunk Star Trek would be amazing! Tell the story of civilians living in a post-scarcity economy, building a colony, farming, and running restaurants. The "Articles of the Federation" idea of "The West Wing in Space" made my heart skip a beat.
I want to see more of Federation life, through a lens other than the military!
Exactly what I was thinking about. Though I think if you wanted to do a series, you'd probably want a little more conflict than a paradise planet could offer.
They are excellent negotiators and traders. If you need something like an ionized plasma channel or even a prototype phase cloak, the Ferengi can find it for you.
I own a Morn action figure, have Mark Allen Shepard's autographed Morn card as well, because of his character being a Cheers reference. I even have a metal die cut Morn card somewhere I think.
@A_Chilean_Cyborg@ValueSubtracted You might be interested in Ursula K. LeGuin’s book THE DISPOSSESSED. In one scene, the character from the anarchist planet explains to a character from the capitalist planet how they get people to do the dirty or dangerous jobs.
@ValueSubtracted I don't think so, the canon has a lot links to possible stories without starfleet. i would find stories about living under the Dominion interesting.

I enjoyed the couple episodes of DS9 where you meet Sisco's dad back on earth running a restaurant.

I could see a series in the vein of "The Love Boat" centered around Risa.

Could we have a spinoff show but it's just every faction except Starfleet going about their day? Klingons, Cardassians, Vulcans, Ferengi....

Lower Decks basically did a pilot episode for that.

Is it just me or did they do a Borg Lower Decks for like 5 seconds of screen time?

TNG Ferengi or DS9 Ferengi?

@Rozauhtuno @cabron_offsets DS9, because of Quark's bar alone.

.....I may also be an alcoholic. 🤔

idk but I would like to know how they get dome people to be dilithium miners, as like in a moneyless society, what benefit they have in return.
Would love to explore that.

Just watched the video… it seems like it's asking for Prodigy without acknowledging its existence. 😕
ValueSubtracted@startrek.website · 6 pts · 2y
I would argue that Prodigy is very Starfleet-centric.
