/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. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 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' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

MODERATORS
Actually, fun fact- pocketless may be less practical, but they work on a space vessel, something that has a lot of moving parts that require maintenance and must operate to very high standards.
IRL people that work in and around those conditions are generally not allowed pockets to prevent any kind of pocket junk falling into a machine and potentially jamming it, so this isn't a practicality thing, it's a SAFETY thing.
~~Ignore the fact that the Enterprise routinely takes immense amounts of punishment~~
ISS clothes:
The lack of pockets might keep junk from falling into machinery, but it sure as hell doesn't keep junk from falling out every time the Enterprise takes damage.
FOD kills!
BDUs had more pockets than anything outside of cargo shorts.
