Don't Tell Me, Teaser Tuesday?

Hello and welcome to Future Imperfect. I'm your

host, Steve Megatron Phillips, Admiral of the

USS Future Imperfect, NX 1761. We are doing this

impromptu episode to kind of cover, well, a little

bit of trekkdom. We're actually going to be doing

a very, very short episode because later this

week I will be at the Michigan Science Center.

They are having their monthly event on Star Trek.

They're having their After Dark event, so they'll

be closing the museum on Thursday the 20th at

3 p .m. and As a part of the event, what they

typically do is, well, they have an entire three

hour block for people to explore and geek out,

which I'm very much looking forward to. They

were kind enough to invite me for their After

Dark event, which is from 6 to 9 p .m. for a

21 and over venue. The tickets are $15 online,

which includes one signature drink. And yeah,

you get to spend a Thursday with fellow Trek

geeks and have a lot of fun. They did their one

last month on DC vs. Marvel and had a panel.

This time, they're doing it on Star Trek, and

I believe their next one is for October. They're

doing Zombie Apocalypse, November they're doing

Winter is Coming, 20th of December they're doing

Robots. No idea what that's gonna be about, but

I can imagine. So anyways they get they get a

lot of press in the local papers and in M live

live in the model D Detroit free press Metro

times and Yeah, there's It's a very awesome Fan

participation moment and People get to kind of

explore the the museum in addition to all of

the geeky content. So like uh... in july they

did vintage video games and they had uh... where

they could play uh... variety of of game systems

of old of yesteryear uh... whether it's and sixty

four or uh... gamecube or uh... xbox three sixty

which is funny to call that vintage uh... they

had some arcade games where there at the physical

box arcades they had some uh... uh... They had

some geeks sitting down doing a podcast live

on location with a bunch of wires and and and

stuff kind of covering the after dark event And

to be honest, I'm I'm feeling a little out of

my element here, but I'm very much looking forward

to it So yeah, it should be a lot of fun to See

how this how this goes down Uh, but they're doing

Star Trek. They're going to have, uh, for the

first hour, they're going to have, uh, where

you just kind of mingle and you kind of go around.

I'm going to be doing the Future Imperfect podcast

during that time. Uh, kind of talking to some

members of SFI, Starfleet International, uh,

because the USS Sinclair, uh, and our commander

of Starfleet International will be there. on

location and a regional coordinator for Region

13. And so it'll be the first time I get to connect

with any of them. So that'll be a lot of fun.

We'll be there plenty early. And then from 7

to 7 .45, they're going to be doing Star Trek

Trivia, which I will be co -hosting and along

with a member of the Michigan Science Center,

who is a huge Trekkie. So I'm looking forward

to that as well, sitting down and having a little

bit of fun with that. And I think they said like

8 .15 or something? They're going to be doing

a planetarium showing where they're going to

have some Star Trek -specific footage. So it's

definitely up your alley if you're a geek. And

it's a smaller venue. I mean, it's still going

to be kind of like a Comic -Con, but not. So

I'm kind of looking forward to seeing how this

whole thing goes down. But I'm looking forward

to meeting a lot of people, a lot of fans, a

lot of fellow truckers, truckies, however you

want to be nicknamed or called upon. And yeah,

it's going to be a load of fun and I'm very excited

to sit down and have a conversation with people.

and do the trivia, so it'll be interesting to

see how much people know. Some of these questions,

I will say, are fairly easy, and they aren't

meant to be super hard anyway, just because it's

kind of a fun event. If it was meant to be actual

difficult trivia, I think myself and the co -host

for the trivia event would have... uh... done

so uh... so it'll be a lot of fun so anyways

that's going to be uh... september twentieth

from uh... six to nine p m for ages twenty one

over fifteen dollar online tickets and uh...

you can either print them or uh... get them will

call at the uh... the events uh... so yeah i'm

definitely looking forward to that and kind of

reporting back after the event with birdman uh...

next week. So there'll be two episodes this week.

I'm going to try and do a live stream of the

show. If that doesn't work out, it'll be a live

recording from location. So we'll kind of see

how that goes. Just depends on technical difficulties

that may or may not happen and how good the wifi

is. So we'll see how that how that goes. But

yeah, just wanted to give a kind of a quick update

on that. Additionally, there's Some news they're

having for Star Trek Online. They're going to

have the new Discovery add -on coming. Plus they've

got some support cruisers coming to in -game.

and they actually added them. It's the new cruiser

class and battle cruiser class vessels being

made available to the seastore for Federation

and Klingon characters. For their respected allied

members among the Romulan and Dominion factions,

the new vessels will be available for non -fleet

and fleet variants. It kind of looks like if

you mixed aspects of the Enterprise B, C, and

D together, you kind of get that. Uh, and if

it weren't for the fact that they're expensive,

uh, they're 2 ,400, uh, Zen each purchased individually,

or you can get a two ship bundle for 3 ,200 and

so on and so forth. Uh, they've got temporal

operative, uh, Starship mechanics to them. Uh,

I really love the design. It's a Nerinda class

support cruiser, which is kind of a take on the

ambassador class, uh, which comes with. a universal

console, the Temporal Trajectory Shifter, so

it kind of allows you to kind of move positions.

And then they've got the Ambassador Class Fleet

Support Cruiser, T6 as well, which comes with

molecular reconstruction and a temporal operative

position at no specific universal position. Capability

for the for the ship and then the Klingons have

two ships as well But the universal trajectory

shifter Manipulates localized space -time allowing

this to this complex technology to shift the

chronometric energies from one star ships continuity

to another's the process explained in layman's

terms as stealing time from the target by redirecting

temporal energies that become slower while you

become faster relatively speaking of course and

the energies translate as a reduction to the

foe's weapon firing speed ability recharges and

defense ratings while those same aspects of your

own starship's performance are increased And

that's that's the one and then the starship trait

history will remember Prolonged conflicts become

more desperate to more heroic as time wears on

and only those ships and crews with the fortitude

to withstand such onslaughts are remembered in

the annals of history with this trait slotted

each foe that damages you will grant you a stack

of history will remember which imparts increased

weapon damage whole and etc etc I just wish that

they would get the Future Imperfect and Parallels

and Yesterday's Enterprise Comm Badges added

to the game because they don't have that. They

have everything else from Yesterday's Enterprise,

but they don't have the Comm Badges and I just

wish that they'd add them to the game because

I find them to be rather interesting and I even

have one, so yeah. So anyways, this about wraps

up this small episode of Future Imperfect. I

hope I informed and teased enough. We'll see

how the next episode comes out. So until next

time, live long and prosper.
