So, in an attempt to get discussion happening here, I’m going to be posing some discussion points during the term. Everyone is welcomed to join in the discussion.
The first one is around Holiday/Party Treknology.
Is there a holiday tradition that you engage in with family/friends that you’d love seen brought into the Star Trek universe?
It doesn’t need to be for Christmas/Winter holidays/Summer holidays, it could be for anything at all at any time in the year and it could be big/small. It could even be a celebration or party or remembrance. In STF in past years, Engineers have lit the decks of their ship with Christmas lights, and there have been celebrations / commemorations for different events from weddings to birthdays to date nights to events in Star Trek history to graduations and a few other things in between.
What would you like to see and how would it work/be Treknologified?
For me, my earliest memories are getting together with cousins and an aunt/uncle and me/dad and my two older male cousins having contests with Space invaders (this was early - mid 80’s). We would manually keep scores and play long into the night trying to beat the previous highest score … I would trekify this by having a holosuite/deck program in which the people taking part have a series of old school Atari 2600’s set up hooked up and running an automatic score update, in a room overlooking QLD Sunshine Coast out of Caloundra as it was in the 1980’s, so with fish and chips smells, seagull calls, and sand everywhere. The ship you’d control would still be a side mover ship, and you’d have 3 shields that get destroyed quickly and the bonus mother ships that fly over the top … it wouldn’t be fancy so as to give the whole Atari 2600 experience, just on a much bigger scale :)
Over to you!
