MODERATORS
 

-- The SNW command delta is complete.

-- A user from another instance has taken the lead on an original Constitution-class.

-- Worf has a wordmark.

The fandom is making a good showing (if not as overwhelming as the My Little Pony space).

If you haven’t yet tried (or succeeded) in dropping a pixel, just head to the Canvas and login identifying your instance and username. You’ll be sent a PM with a confirmation code to authenticate your login.

Once in you can just drop pixels or join a faction. So far there are two active Star Trek factions: Quark’s (short name QUARK) and The Klingon Empire (short name KLINK) that you can join.

I've tooken up the mantle of a Klingon emblem, to the bottom left of our Delta.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Excellent, I saw that getting started and I wondered what it was.

Did you happen to figure out how to share the url with the overlay of your template? I’d really like to contribute.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have not, although I'll look into that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’m starting a StarTrek.website wordmark under the Delta.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I'm helping!

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Didn’t know this was a thing so I visited the canvas and saw it’s completely overrun by MLP. I guess I now know the demographics of the average Lemmy user.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Your welcome to join in populating the Trek-space.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looking great over there! Thanks for sharing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah, except for that damned pus-filled boil that is the Osu logo. It's a pox that never goes away. I despise every person involved with putting it there.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

To be fair, its an open source game, so I don't really mind that much. And the logo that's here is already smaller than the original one lol.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm building a crimson forcefield around the Constitution-class (Euclid).

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can see why you felt it necessary. The flags of Ireland has apparently grown into the wordmark.

I am adding a Vulcan IDIC hand emoji in between things for much the same reason.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Good luck. Thing ends at 1100 CEST.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Just over two hours to go. Here’s how our StarTrek space is doing…

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks finished. Don't think we need any last minute changes,

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Looks great to me.

Showed honour for Trek fandom.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

yay! Qa'pla! (the yay is klingon for victory, not the english "yay")

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This is the reference I was using for the Constitution class, feel free to add to it or make changes: https://canvas.toast.ooo/#x=104&y=593&scale=5.27&template=https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.dribbble.com%2Fusers%2F7549%2Fscreenshots%2F2222860%2Fpixel-nc1701.png&ox=36&oy=551&tw=100&title=&convert=unconverted

If it's not giving you a full URL to share for your own references, you can also just share the coordinates + image itself. For example mine is https://cdn.dribbble.com/users/7549/screenshots/2222860/pixel-nc1701.png at coords (36,551) and width of 100.

Side question, does Canvas have chat? I see it in settings but don't see UI to use it anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

We are supposed to be able to chat within a faction with active members.

I haven’t been able to figure out how to make it work either. Since the admin is only available via an account on Matrix, and asking about basic functionality isn’t at all sensitive, it seemed better to reach out within the community for tips.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Only 24 hours left before the canvas is locked.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I'm adding a shuttlecraft to the Constitution-class. Should we name the vessel (the Constitution-class)?

Edit: The shuttle is more like a Captain's Yacht in size...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Good name. Sure. U.S.S. Euclid, NCC-1686 (Alex the Great + Euclid's (330 max predicted) birth years and 1 added to front)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Glad you like it.

I thought it was odd that there isn’t yet a canonical shuttle with that name.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Here’s a recent screenshot.

Great work everyone. Glad to see more users from this instance and a lot of engagement from other instances as well.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I'm considering making a "Gorkon" wordmark.

Edit: Not enough space.

Edit: Enough space! Done!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sounds good. Could you however avoid the blank area over the black StarTrek.website wordmark please?

I am trying to get help from another user to make an IDIC template for that spot.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I’ve started the IDIC.

There may be enough space for Gorkon to the left of the Klingon Imperial Symbol and at the right of the flag there.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the center symbol needs to be one higher
also the chat doesn't work I guess

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes the chat doesn’t work regrettably, even within factions.

I think you’ve scaled the template slightly larger than I did. I tried it larger but it kept encroaching on both the work above and the StarTrek.website wordmark you led. I’ve been trying to pin the borders and the centre for others.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I have 20px wide and 22px tall
(edit)

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Weird. I set for 20 wide also, but mine may be 20 x 20.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We seem to be done.

Do we want to add a perimeter border? Perhaps in a darker blue?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

i'm done, do what you want

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks for participating! 🖖

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

There is a user on this website who appears to be using a different or larger version of this IDIC template.

Could you check in with me please?
