/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.

But replicators can replicate themselves, otherwise the whole DS9 minefield wouldn't have worked.
Admittedly that's not their primary function. But they are capable of the activity.
This is why replicators are wish fabricators.
Replicators can only make themselves. Like SG:1 replicators. They themselves might be able to rearrange themselves for differing functions but theu can’t make a mocha latte.
The replicators made ships, human facsimiles, and an entire replication of the ancients city. So they can clearly do more than just self-repeat.
the thing is, that human form replicators were collections of nano-scale replicators formed into the shape of a human. Everything they built was also those same nanites.
(The milky way replicators used the blocks to build their ships, where the Asurans in Pegasus were way more advanced and used nanites to build stuff)
(that first human form replicator girl created the spider things because the ancient that built her didn’t let her have a puppy. He was a cat guy.)
