While not overcast (skies cleared earlier in the day), I didn't move away from city lights -- Vallejo isn't all that 'bright' yet.
Saw about 15-20 trails inside of 10 minutes, several blue-white...
Your best viewing will be after midnight (it's when the Earth is turning 'into' the meteors). The meteors can be seen across the night sky, but will appear to center over the zodiacal constellation...
As for the Ferengi scientist, undoubtedly, he owns the patents for anything he invents. It may not be a fast profit, but a careful long-term investment. Or, because it was such a radical idea, maybe...
Some food for thought:
1. Consider the dilemma if a player-character Trill was part of this 'cult' or 'faction' in a previous cycle. They may begin feeling conflicting emotions or a summons from...
I'd love to see traits or another form of mods to stock starship designs, and Steve is (what else) a few leaps and bounds ahead of the rest of us on this one.

Inevitably, there will be...
Of course it's a rip-off!
How dare Berman & Braga present us with a ship that has nacelles! The audacity of offering a design with a saucer section! And that bridge design, with the Captain's...
From the USS Indianapolis Survivors' site (www.ussindianapolis.org):
Indianapolis was a "treaty cruiser". That is, she was built observing of the strictures laid down by the 1921-'22 Washington...
From TOS:
Androids were present in "I, Mudd" - though it was never clear who had made them or how new 'series' were produced. It was stated that Mudd had designed several new series (undoubtedly...
One possibility is that socio-statistical studies were conducted and found that colonies with a broader ethnic diversity tended to fare better. That may be pseudo-scientific technobabble, but...
What if ...
... our 'cultists' only embarked upon their quest after the Borg assimilated a colony/ship/planet with one of their members aboard/resident. Although the assimilation process destroys...
If you truly love books and 'paying the bills' isn't your sole motivation for being at the store, then regardless of all the strange people who wander through the door, despite all of us cranky SF...
While Jar-Jar's speech pattern and bumbling antics are irritating to a large extent, remember that he's the everyman, set amid a wilful princess, two Jedis, and a kid with Force potential to spare....
Face it, some of the people who go to theaters think they're in their living room watching a DVD. This is nothing new.
I don't mind cheering or laughing -- a good trailer should elicit something...
The players in our group were given a 'psych profile' to fill out, which included questions about character goals, favorite officer, least-favorite officer, greatest fear, etc. Some of it is...
Present-day US Navy ships are numbered in sequence. For example, the first aircraft carrier was the USS Langley (CV-1), though she was technically converted from a collier (coal-tending ship) called...
As well as Mike Barr's Camelot 3000, also check Guy Gavriel Kay's 'The Fionavar Tapestry' (though some of the titles are temporarily out of print and may be hard to find). Kay spins an Arthurian...
The majority of 'reality' television shows, particularly those featuring contestants screwing each other over for a buck, highlight only our baser instincts. Whatever teamwork or cameraderie is shown...
Unfortunately, the gentleman behind the counter did not clearly express this information. There's a difference between repeating 'It's not in the computer' and 'Our computer links to the Books in...
To be fair, the only problem I ever had at a bookstore (a Barnes & Noble) was in tracking down a book that was possibly out of print (The Secret Languages of Ireland, R.A. MacAllister) ... the person...
Okay, my physics class was long ago, but here goes ...
Although larger masses exert stronger fields, their gravitational pull is governed by an inverse proportion ... so that while the sun is far...
Deus-ex-machina is reference to any dramatic device that miraculously saves the day at the last minute, with no prior indication that it exists. 'Deus-ex-.357' is a pun referring a .357 magnum.

The gravitational forces necessary to compress an object that severely would likely be more than could be powered by a warp core. After all, the sun exerts enough force to hold the planets in orbit,...
It was researcher Gerard K. O'Neill who first proposed the mass launcher - essentially an electromagnetic rail gun - to propel payloads into Earth orbit for construction of a space station/orbital...
Wrapping up those 'loose ends' from Endgame:
1. There was the implication that the Maquis crewmembers would face courtmartial proceedings. This could easily happen. Under the law, the finding...
