I don't know how exploding consoles didn't make the list, but they would be a distant second to Rick Berman.
Apparently the knowledge of fuses was lost during the Eugenics Wars.
They don't run on electricity, they run on plasma for some reason. Meant to replicate what happens on ships with steam in the pipes. But still, weird that they do that lol
I came here to say this. I get that they use fucking plasma in their electrical systems, but you'd think some step-down transformers and circuit breakers could be installed. And why the hell do the defense systems feed back into the main power grid? Why isn't there a capacitor bank to dump feedback into for reuse in the weapons or something?
I saw someone say a good reason for the consoles exploding all the time is that they wouldn't have I clouded breakers, because, in a red alert situation, the console staying on and responsive is more important than it not exploding
Pretty sure the real reason is because it looks spectacular on TV.
Definitely, but I'll take the other explanation because it's more fun
Ye, another vote for exploding console rocks!
Yeah. If they're gonna explode, they should at least not be filled with rocks, for goodness sake.
