While returning from a mapping mission with the Enterprise, Picard finds that Q wants to have fun at his cost and sends him into an unwilling trip to Equestria.

You really should give some characterization to Captain Picard. First off, some readers (shock!) haven't actually watched much TNG, and secondly if you can't write a convincing Picard while he's on the Enterprise, how can you expect to do Picard-as-Pony justice? It's an ok-enough prologue, and the references are funny, but there's no story yet. I also don't think Q is Q enough, but I can't put my finger on exactly why.
ok, let's see, among the possible universes that there wrere to be to trow Picard into, there were: Doctor Who, Alien Vs Predator, Half LIfe, Stargate... and Discord Threatned to Turn Doctor Who completely Insane if he doens't agree wih this mess....You've got my interest, even thought I am not a Star Trek Fan
An interesting enough start, something I spotted;
'we founded, noting happened'
Did you mean 'we found, nothing of note happened' ?
and there are a couple of 'Piccard' rather than 'Picard'
Something feels off about both Picard and Q though to me but I can't put my hoof on it.
You know, it's funny - the facepalm meme started with Picard. It evolved, it grew, and eventually became part of out physical lexicon - not that it hadn't existed, but Patrick Stewarts constant dramatic use during TNG became iconic ( I took a class of physical language).
And now it's gone full circle - the facehoof, an anthromorphized version of a pony expressing frustration and shock, has now been done by Picard.
Thats it. Life is over. The Internet is over. We can go home.
(good chapter!)
Chapter 3 already???
As with previous chapters, tell me of any spelling mistakes. And if you dont know who Lwaxana is, find out here
Well, I doubt that Picard "founded" the cottage... so "found" would be better.
He should have knocked 3 "times" not "time" and "an bunny" should be "a bunny".
Spike was "at Rarity's" not "an Rarity's" and the letter should be "sent" rather than "send"
"where" rather than "were" Discord might be...
Lastly, they "knocked ON the door" not "knocked the door"
Other than that it looks good! 
Btw, if you would like a proof-reader I would be happy to help. I'm usually quick to pick up on spelling and grammar mistakes.
very nice episode, however captan picard got confused quantum gravity? thats odd. is pinkie pie going to help him build a ship? thats kinda what it sounds like but his charicter is improving so thats good. cant wait to see their reaction to the destructive power of the phazer lol.
Alrighty then:
"down stairs" should be one word. (Not grammatically incorrect, but it's just one of those things with a subtle meaning change.)
Should be a period or such after "Come in"
Pink should be capitalized in "The Q and the pink"
Period after "Picard shouted"
In "seeming to don't mind", don't should be not.
"Commander Riker, my I ask..." the my should be may
Period after "Worf added"
At the end of "faces of the three officers" the comma should be switched to a period.
Period after "... ship to a full stop"
"written all over then" then should be them
klingon should be capitalized
Period (or exclamation mark) after "That's the last one"
Language is so fickle, is it not?
Anyways, I'm looking forward to pre-reading the rest of the story. 
The sad thing is everyone on the ship being turned into an alien isn't all that unusual in star trek. I'm not sure which is worse about this sort of thing, Star Trek or Stargate. ("Why did you just hit me over the head and try to steal my wallet, soldier?" "Sorry sir, I was possessed by an alien entity." "Oh. Carry on then. Dismissed.") 
powerful, aggressive, full of pride? Worf sounds like a dragon to me. (That said, Griffon, or Buffalo seems just as logical, though Zebra might work, trading ridges for stripes and all.)
Still, that opening image of the CMC wreaking havoc on the bridge is suddenly seeming prophetic...
Chapter 5!!! Biggest one yet. I also realized that the story's image is now somewhat prophetic.
For those who didn't watched Star Trek: Enterprise
So, is this chapter is not yet published still? I can't tell the difference.
Right, um:
Period after "It was Data"
"witch" should be "which" in "...wings witch appear..."
"...legs, took Riker..." should have "it" before took
"on his scientific tone" on should be in
period after "you will handle this"
"should have know" know should be known
Allicorn is usually spelled with one L in fanfiction. Since it is a made up name, though it doesn't matter too much.
"I fell silly" fell should be feel
"...on this universe" on should be in
"Everyone's moths were hanging open" LOL, moths should be mouths 
Period after "said Sweetie Belle"
second binoculars is missing the "s"
If I wasn't already a mailpony/secret agent I'd probably get a cutie mark that looked like a big red pen!
Another great chapter, by the way! My favorite line: “Worf my boy! Looking good, huh? I am sure all the mares will want a piece…”
Two new chapters on the same day? MADNESS!
I am going away on a trip for the holidays. I may not be able to update the fic until next year. Sot have a smal chapter.
Also, i made up the story behind Worf's baldric. I looked everywhere and there was no explanation on where it came from, so i took poetic license.
You are right. But you must remenber that technically the Enterprise is a pony ship now. Also, he wont give them the technology. And being on another universe a having to interfere on the life of the planet to get out of Q's joke is also an important thing to consider.
Though they are altered it doesn't mean that they aren't Starfleet. Or for that matter, since a planet has inhabitants that are humanoid, do you think we should converse and let them aboard a ship because we are humanoid? They may be ponies but they aren't Equestrian ponies. And even if Picard doesn't show them technology, he's putting them on a ship where they will have access to ship systems, and those systems could be accessed by the ponies. Technically, Picard should be playing dumb with the ponies. Now he could converse with them, if say Twilight had managed to create a Warp engine. Then he would be able to communicate and do stuff just fine.
You have an intresting point. But i've come to the conclusion that Picard would be forced to show the Enterprise if he didn't do it willing. He had to explai to twilight how a strange creature such as Q knew both him and Twilight. That is why he is showing the Enterprise to the mane 6.
We're obviously not going to solve this debate here, it would require writers of the show, Patrick Stewart, 10 senior trekkies, 5 trekkies, and us two in order to solve the issue. Story is good so I'm rolling with it. Equestrian Ponies in space? Who would do a story about that. . . wait.
That's a bullshit response and you know it.
Unfortunately I have to agree since it is Pinkie Pie and Faust knows what type of machine she has.
Thanks for the pleasant conversation. I am going to sleep now. Its 11PM here on brazil and i have to travel tomorrow morning. Have an wonderful Christmas and a happy new year
Sorry I haven't been on in a while. I was busy making cookies shaped like ponies and other things.
*clears throat* "neckless" should be spelled "necklace"
"putting in saddle bag" should have an "it" in it.
Worf should be angry, not anger (and a period should be after the word, too)
"stronger then you were before" then should be than
"what is your, doctor?" your should be yours
"taking pants of in front..." of should be off
"...seconds to Beverly to break" to should be for
"I ended up causing war and death." I think you mean "it", but not sure
"almost shoot Applebloom" shoot should be shot
"how long have the Enterprise been" have should be has
"look for me on the library" I think you mean "in" unless he's gonna stand on the roof
"mans" should be men, or stallions
"when for land zebras fought to death" the for is not needed, and it should be "to the death"
Zecora usually speaks in rhyme, so it may be worth the time to try and look for some. One possibility I see would be to add ", you see." after temperament.
Still better use of language than most writing I have edited by native English speakers.
Worf x Zecora... calling you out on this one.
Love how bronies are arguing about the Prime Directive! But yeah, Pinkie Pie has the science knowledge, so...
And now for the red pen of justice:
Periods after:
"Worf answered"
"she said" (right above the next one)
"blushing slightly"
"they were gone"
"other followed" other should be others, same as in "followed the other"
"despise the tree" despise should be despite, otherwise Fluttershy will be sad 
Rainbow maned pegasus. Rainbow shouldn't be capitalized unless it's her name.
"suffering hypothermia" should be "suffering from hypothermia"
Merry Hearth's Warming everypony!
Celestia bless us, everypony! 
Merry Hearth's Warming to all, and to everypony good night!
Flutterbreeze, you really ought to consider being a prereader for this if you have the time. Really, your impressively complete in your notations.
And now we come to the diffacult process of figuring out what Q's victory conditions are for this little 'game' of his. I also suspect that when they get home everyone is just going to agree never to speak of this again.
