I've seen some settings where the mechanics of how ships work did actually care about up/down.... sometimes. However, ships in that universe could and often did maneuver in 3 dimensions, one of the more common maneuvers was to roll the ship to protect a weakened shield.
A normie goes "Oh, what's this?"
An otaku goes "UwU, what's this?"
A furry goes "OwO, what's this?"
A werewolf goes "Awoo, what's this?"
"It's nothing personal, I just don't feel like I've gotten to know a person until I've sniffed their crotch." "We said 'no' to Mr. Curiosity. We're not home. Curiosity is not welcome, it is not to be invited in. Curiosity...is bad. It gets you in trouble, it gets you killed, and more importantly...it makes you poor!"
Passion and Serenity are one.

Well, I meant Honor Harrington, in that universe ship propulsion systems largely dictate the shapes the ships take. Which in turn gives ships a recognizable front/back/up/down/left/right.

That's supposedly the same thing that was in place for the Federation as well, at least for a while. Supposedly the optimal configuration for a stable warp field was a saucer and two nacelles. That's been largely dismissed as of late, though.
However, the issue (for me, anyways) is the idea of a ship being all streamlined and aerodynamic. Unless your ship is designed to make an atmospheric ingress and egress (such as shuttles or ships like Voyager or the Bird of Prey), your ship can be built around the necessary systems, not the systems shoehorned into a specific shape. The Borg Collective and Cooperative follow this plan, especially the ship Lore was using with the individualized Borg that came from Hugh's separation. The APU Cruiser also follows this idea to a lesser extent, as does the Breen ships. It's about function over form.

Things I want in STO:
1) More character customization options such as more clothing options, letting the toon complexion affect the entire body, not just the head. Also a true RGB color picker applied to all costume and appearance options, which would allow for true appearance customization and homogenous colors instead of "this same exact color looks vastly different on two different pieces."
2) Bridge customization, not bridge packs. Let us pick a general layout and adjust the color palette, console appearance, and chair types, as well as more ready room layout options.
3) Customizable ground weapons, i.e. The aesthetic look of phaser dual pistols but they shoot antiproton bolts. For obvious reasons this would only apply to standard ground weapons.
4) For the love of Q please revamp Plasma Ground Weapons. They look like demented Supersoakers right now.
5) True Vanity Impulse and Deflector effects similar to Vanity Shields.
6) A greater payout for hitting T6 Reputations. Currently it takes more time and resources to get from T5 to T6 than it does to get from nothing to T5. Make that grind really pay out at the end.
7) Mirrorverse Refugee event similar to AoY/Delta/Gamma, complete with new Mirrorverse recruits for all factions.
8) Independent Faction, because yo ho yo ho a pirate's life for me!
Star trek ships, or the Fed ones anyways, are allegedly shaped to make the navigational deflector screen more effective. Also in some eps they seem to have implied that warp field geometry needs to take into account the shape of the ship.
so they earned the respect of their galactic peers, basically
No, only certain people, one of whom was a descended Ancient and the other of whom was a Jaffa, earned the respect of other groups. Humanity as a whole is not even part of the galactic community. Very few people even know of the existence of the Stargate, even by the end of the series. It's a highly kept secret shared only with key members of foreign nations. So really, it's not "Earthlings" out amongst the stars. It's a select few members of various military factions from Earth.
Yep, beat me to it....never liked that about Stargate....don't like only elite military knuckle draggers having access to the technology and information.

1. It's not grimdark.
2. The computers look the way they do because it's 2017, we know the way computers look, work, and how they should be presented.

"The meaning of victory is not to merely defeat your enemy but to destroy him, to completely eradicate him from living memory, to leave no remnant of his endeavours, to crush utterly his achievement and remove from all record his every trace of existence. From that defeat no enemy can ever recover. That is the meaning of victory."

I am not talking about dsc being grimdark. Probably should phrease it better. Jelly buttons have no place in the future, but looking at our devices, whether its stationary, hanheld or in vehicles right now, neither does monochromatic neonblue everything.

This isn't a Disney movie. Aliens would almost certainly appear ugly to our eyes, and we would probably look pretty doggone ugly to them too. Doesn't mean they're "villains", just different. And sometimes, even seeming villainy is just an expression of a species' needs. (Example: the Moties, from Niven and Pournelle's The Mote In God's Eye. Individually, they can be downright charming - at least, the Mediator class can; nobody's ever talked to any other class of Motie. But their biology, and the physics of that universe, means that they have to try to expand, in any way they can, or face yet another ruinous war in their home system. They don't want to, they just aren't given a choice by nature. Fortunately, in the sequel The Gripping Hand, the Institute comes up with a solution...)

Two words, Time Travel. It's so done to death and completely full of logical holes.
But next honorable mention goes to humanoid aliens, there are far too many of them, the halloween mask party so boring now in sci fi. Bring in the quadruped aliens I propose, that'd be a welcome change and not in the slightest implausible for technological progress with a few biological alterations from what we're used to seeing on earth.
Have to hand it to star wars they have alot of differnt species and many are not humanoid
Now here's my personal bugbear. At least George Lucas had SOME realization of this. Abrams can kiss my ****.
Really? The Millennium Falcon lost its hyperdrive trying to leave Hoth, hid in the asteroids, then was able to fly to Bespin without FTL? In a matter of weeks at most?? Unless Bespin was in the same system, that's a no-go.
For that matter, for all this talk about an enormous Republic (and Empire), Lucas only seemed to acknowledge a handful of inhabited planets. There was Coruscant, Naboo, Tattooine, Kashyyk, Bespin, and Endor, and a mention of Dantooine (and possibly Ord Mantell, although for all the discussion that got it might as well have been a space station) - and even Endor only exists because Lucas couldn't afford all the Wookiee costumes (he originally wanted those scenes to be on Kashyyk). It wasn't until after he sold the franchise that the movies began to acknowledge a wider galaxy, even if you could somehow see one system from another in real-time (as it was hit by an energy beam fired across the galaxy instantaneously, like Howard Tayler's Long Gun without the semiscientific explanation).
Oh, Lucas also made flying through an asteroid belt seem exciting. The average separation between bodies in the Solar System's asteroid belt is about 2 million miles, or approximately eight times the space between Earth and Luna. Unless the Falcon happened to accidentally fly through a Trojan point (assuming the Hoth system has a gas giant outside the belt's average orbit), there's no way it's going to hit an "asteroid field" that thick - in fact, without good instruments they might have trouble telling whether they're in an asteroid field at all.

Basically you want more steampunk i STO i could get behind this if they did a few temporal alt past FEs which places us in a pre industrial earth but the its an altrenate timeline , that we ourselves inadvertantly created during our many escapades into the past.
somehow some tech is left behind spawning the steampunk trek tmeline.
Sex Rebots that are just a goofy stand in for sex trafficking.
Like serious why would you build sex robot that doesn't want tl have sex with you and wants her freedom, why?
It'd be nice to have sex robots that actually make some kind of sense in sci-fi like the kind someone would build if they we're serious about the idea instead of a complete moron.

For that matter, for all this talk about an enormous Republic (and Empire), Lucas only seemed to acknowledge a handful of inhabited planets. There was Coruscant, Naboo, Tattooine, Kashyyk, Bespin, and Endor, and a mention of Dantooine (and possibly Ord Mantell, although for all the discussion that got it might as well have been a space station) - and even Endor only exists because Lucas couldn't afford all the Wookiee costumes (he originally wanted those scenes to be on Kashyyk). It wasn't until after he sold the franchise that the movies began to acknowledge a wider galaxy, even if you could somehow see one system from another in real-time (as it was hit by an energy beam fired across the galaxy instantaneously, like Howard Tayler's Long Gun without the semiscientific explanation).
Oh, Lucas also made flying through an asteroid belt seem exciting. The average separation between bodies in the Solar System's asteroid belt is about 2 million miles, or approximately eight times the space between Earth and Luna. Unless the Falcon happened to accidentally fly through a Trojan point (assuming the Hoth system has a gas giant outside the belt's average orbit), there's no way it's going to hit an "asteroid field" that thick - in fact, without good instruments they might have trouble telling whether they're in an asteroid field at all.
he managed the Kessel run in less then 12 parsecs, some how he can fold space...or he mailed himself the rest of the way! :P
Thank you!

Personally i liked the movie with kurt russell the tv show was meh and i didnt really care for it , i mean they replaced snake with ... macgyver? O.o
I said he had SOME grasp of the concept. Not perfect grasp of the concept, but at least old Georgie had SOME idea that space was big and that it took time for ships to travel from one place to another.
Unlike a certain JJ "several planets right TRIBBLE next to each other" Abrams. My inner astronomer died that day.
and NOT telling the public......keeping them deaf, dumb and ignorant....and paying for it.
Not what I call 'good hands'
Basically you want more steampunk i STO i could get behind this if they did a few temporal alt past FEs which places us in a pre industrial earth but the its an altrenate timeline , that we ourselves inadvertantly created during our many escapades into the past.
somehow some tech is left behind spawning the steampunk trek tmeline.
Like serious why would you build sex robot that doesn't want tl have sex with you and wants her freedom, why?
It'd be nice to have sex robots that actually make some kind of sense in sci-fi like the kind someone would build if they we're serious about the idea instead of a complete moron.
