wilwheaton's (sadly much reduced) cameo - while I was as much of a Wesley Crusher hater as the next reader of certain newsgroups, read Wil's blog and you find a nice guy.- Surge Protectors: How many times have crew members been injured by exploding control panels? A simple surge protector on each one could help prevent these tragedies.
- Seatbelts: Whilst the inertial dampening field compensates for normal ship movements, in combat conditions, they're not sufficient to stop people being thrown around the bridge. Some form of seat restraints would surely help reduce casualties.
- Put the bridge somewhere sensible: They use a viewscreen. There's absolutely no need for it to be sitting slap bang on top of the saucer section where any old enemy can take pot-shots at it. Even today's sea-going warships have an external bridge for navigational visibility and the main control-room is safely in the bowels of the ship.
