Nope. Just get the best bang for the buck. If you really want two ethernet ports you can get a usb adapter. Or put in the time to learn vlans.

Find an old Thinkcenter on ebay.

The first few episodes were indeed rough, but by the end of season 1 it becomes the star trek youve been craving.

I recall an episode where they showed a video stream from Geordie’s visor. There’s no way he could discern playing cards.

I have an idea for a series I’d like to write that fits this somewhat. In the Kelvin timeline before Romulus is destroyed but after Voyager, the Romulans decide to stripmine their doomed solar system, build a fleet, and go on a conquest to subdue Federation territory starting with Earth. The war would be an over-arching theme but the episodes would still be mostly self contined challenge of the week type stories based one ship & crew but with glimpes of what other crews are going through, but also flashbacks to how the invasion got started showing how we got to “now” without dragging it out.

I was more irked that she said the Federation did good throughout the Galaxy. The Federation has always been limited to this Quadrant. Romulans to the left of me, Klingons to the right. The entire premise of Voyager and DS9 was a wormhole to other parts of this galaxy, neither of which have taken place yet. Even the Borg have not spread to other Galaxies yet that I know of.
