"Beam up to Sol system"?

philosopherephilosophere Member Posts: 607 Arc User
I just noticed this today and said to myself, shouldn't it be "Beam up to Earth orbit?

I know, a really small thing when there are so many other more urgent issues that need addressing, but when transporting from Starfleet Academy or Earth Space dock to our ship, wouldn't the subject statement be more accurate? :confused:

Technically, Earth Space dock is in orbit as well, and we are in the Sol system. But it still kinda irritates....

    Huh why ... ? ... that's basically how the entire game works ... "Enter Acamar System" i.e ... instead of "Enter Orbit around Acamar 3" or something ...

    Both terms are correct ... not sure why the other one would be "better" ... if anything it would lead to confusion with Maps showing more than one Planet ... "Enter Orbit around Hfihar I & btw there is also Hfihar II"

    I don't really see it as an issue, they are both accurate descriptions of the same thing, as Earth orbit is in the Sol system.

    There are far more important issues in the game than how something is worded.

    Also tbph, the term Undine instead of Species 8472 bothers me much more.

    Let's all beam up to earth orbit for a bit of orbital skydiving.

    "He shall be my finest warrior, this generic man who was forced upon me.
    Like a badass I shall make him look, and in the furnace of war I shall forge him.
    he shall be of iron will and steely sinew.
    In great armour I shall clad him and with the mightiest weapons he shall be armed.
    He will be untouched by plague or disease; no sickness shall blight him.
    He shall have such tactics, strategies and machines that no foe will best him in battle.
    He is my answer to cryptic logic, he is the Defender of my Romulan Crew.
    He is Tovan Khev... and he shall know no fear."

    Yes quite right. We wouldn't want to start confusing players like that nasty exploration cluster issue we once had. Poor things lost in there for who knows how long... :rolleyes:

    I have better one though:

    "Would you like to leave your current location and beam to your starship's bridge?"
