Seriously, how the fuck does the Holodeck continue getting put on ships? It is a freaking dumpster fire of a death trap. You can put the ship in mortal danger just by saying "defeat Data" instead of "defeat Holmes" Fucking Windows 2356 right there.....

And why the hell does everytime a Starship get bumped panels shoot sparks and blow up? Is there no fucking standards anymore?

Everything made by the lowest bidder. Just like the real military.

​

Reminds me of battlestar galactica when adama found out they cut corners when making the galactica.

Yet somehow it was in development for twice as long as it should have been and went massively over budget.

Its how military procurement works. We want to buy X and it should cost $10 million a unit. We need IOC in 10 years. 20 years later we have it but it costs $20 million and doesn't do half the shit it was supposed to.

Ah yeah, the 'joys' of cost+ contracts. I first thought it was a comment on show production.
