  • So long as you're in the right timeline/universe. I'm not sure I'd fit into the Terran Empire that well.

  • Just want to point out that The Enterprise is like the nicest, most exclusive, most elite ship in the Federation. Most people living in the Star Trek universe don't have access to replicators or holodecks or highly-trained doctors.

    Like it's basically a super cruise ship with all the bells and whistles. Even if you're onboard, chances are you're a lower decks crew member.

    • I think replicators are fairly standard, depending on which trek ofc.

      Holodecks and highly trained doctors, no.

      I take your point, it's like being a billionaire today vs being a regular everyday person. So we'd be comparing their healthcare, tech and gizmos to an everyday person.

      Everyday person still has like semidecent healthcare compared to a few hundred years ago and you could quite easily buy pretty good gear yourself for certain basic medical things. Basic wound care, emergency medicine, get an ultrasound and learn to read it to scan your body in a rudimentary fashion if you'd like. Get yourself some EEG. You can easily get either (but prolly rather low maybe low-mid tier) for around 100 western money units. You train yourself rudimentary but still quite advanced medicine that doctors 80 years would've have had no idea of. Medications you'd have a trouble getting obviously, but aside from prescription meds..

      So assuming a certain bottom level of technology, but also technological availability, replicators are pretty common, you can prolly quite easily get one for yourself and then you're pretty much off to the races. Surely there's things it can't build but yeah.

      I'd much rather be some somewhat poor shmuck in the ST universe than a moisture farmer on Tatooine.

      Also, lower decks? Fucking aces count me in. Love that shit. And I do mean both the show but also the ranks if I were on the Enterprise. I'd happily be a mid-tier NCO instead of a bridge officer. Seems more heroic yeah sure, but doing that 247 would be kinda tiring to be honest. Mid-tier NCO's have so much more agency. And still get to guest star sometimes. Although the rate of change of the redshirts under me would probably make me have to do a lot of interviews... hmmm...

  • Send me to the elder scrolls just after the Warp in the West stops making time fucky, by the time anything interesting happens I should be set up to comfortably avoid it. I'll just stay the fuck away from Morrowind and find a nice defensive city during the Oblivion Crisis, guess id bunker down in Winterhold since it would still be packed with mages.
