James T Kirk taught me it’s okay to cheat, as long as you don’t get caught. 🤫

[-] NielsBohron@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

As my old tech teacher in HS used to say, "if you ain't cheatin', you ain't tryin'"

That would make for a great framed motivational poster.

When things seem hopeless, just remember to try ejecting the warp core

That's what I call the morning after a night of heavy drinking

It is possible to commit no mistakes and still lose. That is not a weakness; that is life.

[-] Ashyr@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 year ago

One of my life quotes when things are hard.

I'm glad they got my boy Broccoli in the shot lol

They call him “vegetable” because after a fight with him, that’s how people end up.

Star Trek: Bridge Crew, great game which was sadly abandoned and left to rot, started you out with the Kobayashi Maru. My friends and I got in there, beamed out as many folks as we could without firing a shot on the Klingons, and then got the hell outta the neutral zone as soon as the Kobayashi Maru was destroyed.

Is that considered a loss? I'd say we saved a bunch of people and hopefully avoided a war. Best we could do given the circumstances. And that's how we manage life sometimes, as well. You can't win, but you manage as best you can given the circumstances and take the small victories wherever you find them.

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 8 points 1 year ago

That game option is the perfect Starfleet choice, but I think canon of the test was that once you got in close enough to try a rescue it ended up that the Maru was a ruse. Of course if you didn't do any rescue it would end up being a true ship, but that's the no-win part. The game allowing a partial rescue made it not a "test", but an actual reality with some chance. Which was Kirk's point...reality can hand you many more possibilities than a test ever can.

[-] Chetzemoka@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah canon I believe is you can't get close enough to transport without violating the neutral zone. So it's a binary either or choice. You rescue and start a war or you watch those people die.

[-] Rhaedas@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

The latter is what Sulu did, but there's more backstory to why he made that choice back then. Obviously from the movies he changed as a captain to do whatever it took when the assistance was needed by friends.

[-] ApostleO@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

When I did that mission, they never specified the neutral zone was there, so I operated under the assumption we were in Federation space. When the birds of pray appeared, there was no option to hail (or they didn't respond), so I just beat them. And they attacked one at a time. Felt really cheesy, like they used Kobayashi Maru as a reference without actually replicating the test, because it also served as the tutorial.

Kobayashi Maru should have been the last mission, not the first. And it should be properly impossible.

10 bars of gold pressed latinum to anyone who finds this on a shirt for me.

[-] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Then my best advice is: Mr. Sulu, RAMMING SPEED!

[-] TonyToniToneOfficial@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 year ago

James. T Kirk

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I'd rather be Boimler on this one. Kirk cheated. Boimler just got gud.

[-] StillPaisleyCat@startrek.website 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Stamets - you may have a future as ‘an independent artist/designer’ on TeePublic.com.

I’d buy it.

[-] wizzor@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 year ago

Kirk isn't the only one who can reprogram simulations tho...

[-] BoringHusband@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

That full stop.
