    A solarpunk Star Trek would be amazing! Tell the story of civilians living in a post-scarcity economy, building a colony, farming, and running restaurants. The “Articles of the Federation” idea of “The West Wing in Space” made my heart skip a beat.

    I want to see more of Federation life, through a lens other than the military!

      I enjoyed the couple episodes of DS9 where you meet Sisco’s dad back on earth running a restaurant.

        Exactly what I was thinking about. Though I think if you wanted to do a series, you’d probably want a little more conflict than a paradise planet could offer.

          I could see a series in the vein of “The Love Boat” centered around Risa.

    Could we have a spinoff show but it’s just every faction except Starfleet going about their day? Klingons, Cardassians, Vulcans, Ferengi…

        They are excellent negotiators and traders. If you need something like an ionized plasma channel or even a prototype phase cloak, the Ferengi can find it for you.

          TNG Ferengi were more interesting. DS9 they just felt like filler B characters and any Ferengi episodes were inane. But then, I think DS9 sucked.

          I mean, the Ferengi were a total flop. They were meant to be the big bad guys in TNG but their appearance was deemed too humorous. That’s how we got the Borg - needed a big bad guy.

    idk but I would like to know how they get dome people to be dilithium miners, as like in a moneyless society, what benefit they have in return.

    Would love to explore that.

    Just watched the video… it seems like it’s asking for Prodigy without acknowledging its existence. 😕
