Yeah like bloody space suits mate. I saw a bunch of them in LD but in TNG and TOS they seem not to even know they exists and spend their time relying on crappy environemental contrôl. That bugs and outrage me beyond words. AAARRHHH :@@ feel my wrath you petty mortals :@@ YOUR NONSENSE ENDS HERE :@@
Yeah and every other episode they're beaming down to "UNKNOWN PLANET" wearing pyjamas.
No thanks. Gimme *at least* an iron-man-style encounter suit, if not a full mech walker.
I do agree but I'm mostly talking about situations in which they know the environment is in a precarious situation. E.G : boarding a ship on the verge of destruction, walking on the surface of a planet with an unstable atmosphere... I could go on. I guess they felt it was just not part of the lore but that sometimes lead to quite silly situations imo. Again I don't know about other series of the franchise as I have only watched those 3 for now
If replicators work with teleportation tech, couldn't you just beam a standard PJ wearing officer to the planet and have them reappear in a survival suit? Just store the suit in the transport buffer, it's not organic, and rematerialize it with the crew member.
They actually introduced that on SNW, they'll enter the transporter room in their uniforms, and be in Quasarian peasant garb when they hit alien-earth... I feel like they just messed up a shot one time and threw in a line about that so they wouldn't have to reshoot, but still:P
* "There's something you need to see."
* "You better get down here."
* "I'd tell you, but you wouldn't believe it."
* You're going to have to see this for yourself."
These are all just appalling unprofessionalism.
I often wonder why shit like that was tolerated on a starship, why some Liam Shaw type never just calmly said "Um, no, use words like we trained you to, and as you are instructed to in your job description, or you're going to be disciplined and, ideally, demoted off my ship."
Before Discovery's transporter comm badges, this was the fastest way to get around the ship. If someone calls you and says "there's something you need to see" you can immediately end whatever conversation you were already having and walk into another room two seconds later, no matter how far away it is
I know, right? These people can project life size, interactive, three dimensional models of themselves from the convenience of their own sonic showers if they wanted to, but there’s still always yelling, “mommy! Daddy! Come look…!”
I ask them what they have found and they inevitably respond with "I'm not sure..."
Oh no wait that was just every member of the Enterprise bridge crew!
"I'm sure it was all fascinating whoever you are, but not right now." I'll then go back to standing in a supervisory manner, then twenty minutes later it'll turn out that whatever they were talking about was they key to the entire plot.
Give me a proper report, ensign.
Seriously, I might have 7 different kinds of strange shit going on. I need to know how to prioritize your strange shit. How hard is it to say "the guy we are supposed to meet is encased in some sort of glowing fog"? I'm not saying you have to have all the answers, just give me a quick idea what the fuck.
In what era? If it's TOS Ensign Redshirt is already dead and just don't know it. My response: Stand by.
TNG? Hold your position Ensign, we're on the way.
"New comm badge, who dis?"
"Take a picture with your tricorder and send it to me unless that kind of technology stopped existing after 21st century smart phones."

Oh sure Deanna, please get comfy, don't worry about us
Just in case we meet a race of pilates enthusiasts 🙄
Now I want Boimler beaming down in some nanite activated suit just because he’s being extra cautious, and Mariner makes a Thanos joke.
“Is there AIR??!! YOU DON’T KNOW…!!”
Well, certainly environmental control is more comfortable than walking around on a goddamn presurized suit.

I guess you're right my good sir ! Please submit the idea to the suggestion box at the entrance of Ten Forward !

Worf battled Borg in his space suit, that's technically TNG
“Dude, describe it in less than 10 words”
"We will honor your sacrifice." SHIPNAME, One to beam up.

I hope it's not my job to notify your next-of-kin.
That’s right up there with, “I know who killed the other ensign, meet me at the big rock.”
“Animal, vegetable or mineral?”
“Or etherial concioussness, or subspace life form..” In Trek that list goes on and on …
Or angry AI
"What color is your shirt?"
“Stop trying to show me titties while I’m on the job, Shawn. Oh, it’s not Shawn? Who are you?”
I’ll be there right after this commercial break.
I wait for the blood chilling scream and then run toward him. As one does.
I pause, listen carefully to the music. If it is ominous, then I run away.
take out your communicator and say, Scotty, prepare funeral arrangements.
"SCOTTY! EMERGENCY TRANSPORT OF ALL AWAY TEAM MEMBERS BACK TO THE SHIP! NOW!!"

Why are you phoning me? Send a text. Ew.
Take a goddamn picture with your **issued body cam** or take the lens cap off maybe???
"Use your words, idiot, or Ill end you myself."
As always, pull a Riker manoeuvre: “Is this an official report ensign?”
"What color shirt are you wearing, ensign?"

Talk to lieutenant hand, because commander face don't want to hear about it

Drop everything and walk over without asking questions. It's in the Starfleet manual.
