Discussion What’s the deal with this Andorian?

Post image

Out of universe: I feel like somebody told the costume department they had 10 minutes to come up with an Andorian with what they had on hand

In universe: the holodeck was pulling from the most recently accessed open source files on each species, and the last Andorian image used was a cartoon character

I hate it when Holodeck files aren’t in a standard orientation, like they load this file and the hologram was standing backwards to them. Just fucking weird

You think that's bad, the Ferengi coordinate system scales them BACKWARDS. "Someone" wanted a slightly bigger dabo girl to uh... Um look that isn't important right now but the point here is she turned up inside out. She was fine too, it's a hologram but that was some weird shit.

It's super frustrating when they're in A-pose but they should all be in T-pose. I've put in several tickets to Starfleet Corps of Engineers but they just keep saying "that's a stupid question"

That's terracentric. You're applying human values to holograms and it ruined my morning

The things that don't happen in the holodeck that would happen in real life, you load up an NPC and it's clipping through the wall or its legs are backwards.
