Since when there were holoprograms in 2250? Maybe i'm missing something, but the first time they appeared as StarFleet tech was in TNG, and that's 1 century later...so...are you saying that Tyler is actually from the future?

Oh! That's why! Now I remember the enterprise episode where Neelix briefed Tarses on Tyler's holoprogram. Forgot that one!
encountering it and developing it are two different issues. Even in TOS it was an alien tech.
Same place that Latinum was gotten pre-official Ferrengi meeitng. (Remember Picard talking about the new Species and the official first contact?-- That's why I hate Enterpise too)
On the bright side, it's mostly because he eats up so much stuff, not because the stuff he needs is hard to get. Then again I'm only at level 50. Fingers crossed!
They were simple folks, which is why they are all two-stat. Tilly is pretty good, and Stamets fills an under-represented attribute combination.

They've already used holo communications in Discovery, so whilst there won't be holodecks, they've some holo technology.
I'm actually happy they've not been boneheaded and restricted themselves to TOS tech, as TOS was 23rd century tech from the viewpoint of the limitations of the 1960's.
50 years on, we're seeing 23rd century as tech as viewed from the limitations of late 2010's technologies.
that's the thing, holo comunication is to holoprograms as tv is to EVE Online. And to overhaul the early 23rd century to fit with the new view of tech evolution...that would mean overhauling Star Trek, changing the timeline...AGAIN!
And, although i love the kelvin timeline...I don't wanna watch Flash in Space )
We have had a string of very strong base crew. Sure they are two stat only, which means they are less useful for voyages. But they have strong base skills, so are good for shuttles. But if you don't like golds with super high bases (Lorca & Tilly), and 3 purples over 800, two of which were on SCI is very useful. Saru in particular has great mission stats for purple.
They didn't have to do a show in this era either.
Ahh, you're forgetting, this isn't in the same universe or timeline as any other star trek. This is actually the completely unrelated phi beta kappa universe.
Wake me up when the Tri-Lam's have one. Booger Presley on the Bridge. with Poindexter at the con is something I'd pay to see.
I will not give spoilers, just in case, but there are some doozies this week!
watch Episode 6 DSC
Lol I think I'll pass. Might check in a season or two down the line and see if it at that point is not worse than Scandal in Esperanto.
Something very like the holodeck appeared in TAS, so they retconned to say that Kirk's Enterprise had one that just never appeared or factored into a plot.
We get it 24hrs after America, and then I have to make sure my girlfriend is out because she hates it.. so no spoilers pls lol. I should stay clear of the forums for a bit maybe. And I guess some of us are girls so I don't know if I'm butting in where I'm not wanted..
Yes, I suspect the Xyrillians from ENT were the developers of the holodeck tech we see in TNG/DS9/VOY era. This episode of Discovery was, after all, 100 years after the intro to sophisticated "Hologram" tech was introduced by the Xyrillians. And again, I will point out that Discovery is Sec31 and has the BEST and newest tech available, whether completely sanctioned by Starfleet or not.
Should I also refresh everyones memory that the Xyrillian Hologram tech was actually given to the Klingons in the same episode of ENT?
Makes sense if you think it through - Tilly clearly wants Tyler to get into her uniform, she tends to ramble when she's nervous, he misunderstood... could happen to anyone.
