Replicators make synthehol and alcohol, you choose which variant you want or program in your standard options. Snobs like Scotty and Jean-Luc’s brother say they can taste the difference which is why Guinan keeps “it is green” behind the bar.
I’m on my 6th or 7th playthrough. 270 hours in and I still keep finding stuff. Today I found a secret cave in Underdark with Kuatoa worshipping a red cap. Game of the year for sure.
Not to be confused with favorite series. I think my favorite season is ENT sesson 4, which is funny because the series overall is def on the weaker end of the spectrum, and i dont think any particular episode of the fourth season is Star Treks very best, its just the season that has more good than bad episodes of any season of...
But a Mind allowing humans to think they were performing maintenance is totally something an eccentric Culture Mind would do. Hell even pretending to reboot and crash for a bit is something an eccentric mind would do.
Comingle is an interesting idea that would act as a pseudo emergency fund to provide a stable week to week income for their users.

Yeoman can rate from E-1 to E-9 so I’m not sure why you think they are only senior NCOs.
This is directly from a naval site:
General Description
Yeoman perform administrative and clerical work. They receive visitors, answer telephone calls and sort incoming mail. They type, organize files and operate modern office equipment such as word processing computers and copying machines.
What They Do
The duties performed by YNs include:

That’s a secretary, or more properly today an administrative assistant.
Their position would increase as they increased in rank but they are still just secretaries, even at the highest level.
On a ship with a captain who was a full captain, they would be a senior NCO.
This is false. In the documentary Carrier (2008) which follows the USS Nimitz on a deployment in the gulf they follow a yeoman, Shaneka McReed for some of it. She is promoted during the episode to E-4, Yeoman Petty Officer 3rd Class. She was a yeoman who served on the bridge of the carrier. (I just recently watched this which is why I thought you were incorrect on your description).
I don’t know about rank changing since the 60s other than in 2016 they no longer referred to sailors by their ratings, only their rank.
Oh I’m not trying to diminish them, I actually think the administrative assistants and secretaries of the world do a million times more than the executives they support. Yeoman Rand probably does a ton of behind the scenes shit that keeps the ship running but on paper yeomen are assistants. They aren’t the decision makers even when they are assigned to a captain or XO. The decision maker would be the Command Master Chief. He works hand in hand with the command team and does a lot of administrative stuff too but he is more of a leader whereas a yeoman is more of a supporter. There are many quirks about the military like this so I don’t think it’s weird she’s on the bridge at all.
They think they’ll be accepted. Same way there were nazi Jews. Some people think they’ll get ahead if they align themselves with these type of fascists and they don’t realize that they’re gonna be the first ones to go the way of Ernst Rohm.

I hope she lives because I like her as a captain. She seems very laid back and I feel like Starfleet being huge and all there would be a few captains that are pretty chill.
I swear if anything bad happens to Ortegas I will riot. That lady has surpassed Tom Paris as my favorite pilot and with all the banter with Pike I worry for her well-being.
