    I always wondered why they didn’t have a backup computer. Or emergency lighting. Or UPS batteries for life support.

    And why they tested unproven technologies on the Federation’s flagship with 200 families on board.

      They always talked about the Enterprise having one computer, and it did everything from basic information searches to recreating the personality of the engineer that designed the engines for real-time simulation. Like each Holodeck wouldn’t have it’s own entire server rack just for it.
