Will they evar get power energy/supply right in Star Trek??? (rant)

[BeBMan]

Here's an outrrageous chronology about the use of auxiliary power in Star Trek:

https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Auxiliary_power

So, where's the prob, you may ask?

Well, the list reveals a glaring mistake in the construction of all Starfleet ships: main power is very prone to failure in criticial situations, yet none of those oh-so-smart Starfleet engineers has provided a solution to this problem so far!

If you ask me, those responsible should be fired immediately, since it's plain obvious what to do: if they rely on auxiliary power regularly, and often to save everyone's asses, it seems both much simpler and more safe to use aux power as main power and vice versa!

I mean, just read the list how often there's a main power failure, and then try to remember how often aux power failed! Yeah, you can't. See?!

They need the main power to fail so they can use the auxilliary power. After all, auxilliary power would be a complete waste of space if the main power never failed.

I hope this helps.

Star Trek has been running on Auxiliary power for the last 2 decades. And it's been very very bad, so I would say no.

no drama makes for boring tv...why do the main officers always take trips into dangerous situations

btw, I did see a couple episodes of the new series I think its called Discovery. I dont know enough about characters and plot line but the cgi was amazing, very cool stuff.

They'd probably have fewer explosions on the bridge if they installed some circuit breakers or maybe some electrical fuses.
