minus-square🍉 Albert 🍉@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·24 hours agoone issue is supplies and maintenance, but voyager showed a federation ship can handle itself for a long term without federation support. and a rogue federation ship would be a great star trek show
minus-squareCorhen@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·23 hours agoVoyager was actually built for long-term, unsupported missions: smaller crew, redundant systems, and efficient everything. It had bioneural gel packs, variable-geometry warp nacelles, and automation meant to keep it running without a starbase nearby. The Enterprise was basically a flying city that relied on Starfleet support. Drop it in the Delta Quadrant, and it wouldn’t have lasted half as long.
