    Incredible advancements in science! Blindness? Cured. Missing limb? Here is a mechanical one so good you can’t tell! And since there’s no currency in the Federation everyone can get everything they need.

    Id get a full body check over for any and all issues and probably be some mad scientist somewhere playing with wild anti gravity forces.

    I’d be so gobsmacked to escape capitalism that I don’t think my imagination could catch up with me. I imagine some of us would be back in the holodecks reimagining it due to Stockholm syndrome.

      Never watched the show. I wonder how they select who lives in on ocean front of California cost, who’s on the second row and who’s 30 miles from the coast?

          I disagree. I would still prefer to eat breakfast on my veranda with ocean view. Real ocean view.

    Holodecks as every home! Who needs furniture if you can live in a holodeck and summon furniture based on your needs or wants at any given moment? And why limit it to furniture? Furnishings and decor could also be holo’d! And beds, and windows, and could you Holo a Replicator to replicate any food you want? Feels like the possibilities are endless

    Ensuring that the Starfleet admiralty suffered… transporter accidents… and got replaced by somebody – anybody – with some kind of clue would be a good start.

    Give everyone the ability to control their individual genome. Why should we still be “humans”? I want echolocation and night vision to start. I understand the implications of genetic manipulation and why it’s outlawed in the federation, but if EVERYONE can do it, I think it becomes a non-issue.

      This comment right here, Section 31 officer.

      Reference explanation

      The Federation is weirdly phobic of genetic engineering, due to past conquerors.

    Stop all this Prime Directive nonsense.

    There’s no such thing as a culture’s “natural progress” because there’s no such thing as “fate”. We live or die or change or stagnate based on random events and there’s no saying that one specific course of events is the correct one.

    Ruin it by making it into the Elite Dangerous universe.

    Who cares about exploration and protecting emerging civilizations when you can make funny images with the galaxy route map and participate in huge system control wars for void opals lol.

    Or give random items to Thargoids for a totally scientific process of investigation.

    I would make it so you can only use the replicators if you give someone an orgasm.

    Horny Star Trek would go hard.

    Heh
