Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I thought the gold trim indicated officer status, but the red shirt indicated operations. It's been a while since I've flexed my Trek muscles, though.
EDIT: Huh. Nevermind; apparently, Scott was second officer of the ship, and thus took command when Kirk and Spock both left.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
In TOS Trek, Engineering and Security wear red, and Command wears gold. In TNG and later Trek, they reversed it. Why, I've never heard.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Check the sleeves--Durkon is Scotty. Plays on his accent, plus, he's the one who keeps the ship running. Edit: Hella ninja'd, there.
Hard to imagine Elan as Bones, but it's worth it just for the Nurse Chapel Banjo.
Got to say that Roy looks amazing as Kirk. Even without the toupee, the body language really sells it. It's been said before, but these stick figures are damn expressive.
Thanks, Giant!Last edited by Bird; 2015-06-14 at 05:42 PM.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Elan is Bones on account of him being the emotional one, in contrast to V's Spock. It was a toss-up for whether to have him or Durkon be Bones, but Elan didn't fit naturally into any of the other roles while Durkon's accent gave him a convincing reason to be Scotty, so that's what I went with.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
I have to say, this is inspired. Whatever led to this being a thing, is something that the world needs more of.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Makes sense. My first thought was Durkon wasnt Bones because of his death, and the uniform represented that. Thanks for the clarification.
EDIT: The Kickstarter update email mentioned the reason was Leonard Nimoy's death (I'm assuming that is not KS-backer-exclusive info).Last edited by Peelee; 2015-06-14 at 06:02 PM.

Now I am stuck by the terrible urge to figure out why each memeber got each place.
Some make sense, some don't.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Durkon isn't a Red Shirt, he's Scotty!
I assume Elan is decked in Science Officer garb because he's taking over as healer. And the other red-shirts, well, not everyone is science or command. I'm a bit surprised Belkar was put into Command, though I'd image it's mostly because of the low member count in the Order.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Elan truly has immersed himself in his new role as backup healer.
Gotta say, this wallpaper may not be quite as artistically elaborate as some of the previous ones, but it is making me grin SO MUCH. I swear I can hear the classic Trek beeping noises as I look at it now.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Don't feel too bad, as Rich also mentioned this in the update.
.. our new wallpaper can be seen below, and downloaded here. I came up with the idea as a tribute to Leonard Nemoy when he passed away, but as always with me, it took a while to actually get it done. I hope it being late doesn't diminish the thought, but at least it gives me a chance to send you all to the For the Love of Spock Kickstarter, where Adam Nimoy is working to create the definitive documentary about his father's famous character.
She also has the communicator delibob (that I don't feel like looking up the name of), so, yes, she's definitely Uhura.
And Celia as Yeoman Rand makes sense because of the Rand/Kirk angle.
====
As for the wallpaper, love it love love it.
SO many details. No one has mentioned it yet, I think, but SnarlWorld is on one of the static viewscreens.
Lots of other things have been commented on so I won't repeat. But it was all so awesome. Including the ship-as-stick-figure design next to the door.

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
Haley-Sulu is a good fit. He was the ship's firing officer, IIRC. What difference does it make if you're firing arrows or photon torpedoes?
There's no ST character for Blackwing. I guess he'll just have to settle for being a random red shirt.Curated Thread: Gazetteer of the Stick

Re: The Post-Kickstarter Discussion Thread: Bask in the Afterglow
So should we start a debate over the apparent ridges on Thog's forehead? :P
I really love all the details here, too. The 3 screens, all the buttons everywhere, Banjo's hair, Mr Scruffy's appearance, V's uniform being neither the female nor the male one... Looks like a lot of work and attention went into this.
