Well...

When I go reassign underperforming officers at SFA, I think of them walking into a huge blender, and some guy who looks like a transporter chief pressing the Smoothie button.

When Mudd pops up in sector space and closes my exchange window after the S.S. Azura warped away, I imagine his head on the end of a pole.

When I visited ESD on the foundry editor, I headed straight for Quinn's office with my mouse over the Kill Target button.

Travelling through sector space I find myself wondering "If Pakleds make things go, would throwing a few into the warp core make the ship go faster?"

Nucleogenic lifeforms would work better.

No, they'd make all time stop.

Why is it that so many of the unimportant officers on ESD look the same? And on my ship? And on every planet I visit, for that matter? Where are all the people and why have they been replaced by clones?

Why are the colonies I visit in exploration clusters all so empty?

Why won't they let me or my crew go and see our families? What are they keeping from us?


This is creepypasta in the making but I'm not a skilled enough writer to do it.

Whenever we go on missions we destroy so many ships and kill so many people it feels like we're trying to do some mass genecide of everyone in the galaxy...

Every time I see a random fleet invite I have thoughts that Starfleet has been overrun by the "Communist Party" and has now resorted to human wave attacks to survive in the 25th Century.

Seriously, of what use is recruiting a huge number of players randomly and never doing anything in the way of fleet / people development? This is to me a whole new form of 'preying on the innocent' as the people who stay in those fleets after random invites tend to be less communicative and/or less aware of in-game events
