    I always say that things exploding on the bridge for no reason after other part of the ship is hit is a deliberate feedback mechanism designed so that officers weren’t just sitting on their asses in safe place but shared the danger of the entire crew.

    Also that’s why they always go to away mission (totally not because the less actors there is the better), if they just send redshirts alone some feedback mechanism would discharge phaser at them in the bridge when the redshirts died.

      I love this. Make the officers suffer as much as the rest of the crew during a battle!

      That…make sense. Probably the same mindset about placing the main bridge really exposed to external weapon fire instead of in the safest part of the ship.

      Screw it, it’s my headcanon now.

        I remember in contrast books by Honsinger where the bridge was put in the central part of the ship and armored so much that even the ship armory and reactors were protected less. In setting where boarding actions using cold steel sabers were the norm in space battles lol.

    You’d think a futuristic classless society with knowledge and technology to pierce space-time and manufacture food out of thin air would have a better production quality than fuckin Zumwalt
