I worked on “Andromeda”, created by the Star Trek folk.

They told me to look closely at the door id’s as they walk through the corridors.

Some of them are annotated, “GNDN”.

It stands for “Goes Nowhere. Does Nothing.”, basically saying it’s just a set-piece and non-functional.

Funny how these plates co-opted that part.

Yep, impenetrable UI, atrocious usablity, unreadable font, definitely Star Trek.

Heh… GNDN… Goes Nowhere Does Nothing… Invented as a way of designating fake prop piping in ST:TOS when they were designing the sets

I just bought these and with them came this warning label in large red letters: WARNING: ONCE INSTALLED, CHANCE OF GETTING LAID GOES DOWN BY 90%.
