As an ex-Vegas resident, I have to ask: why were you moving stuff to Vegas?
Although I don’t agree with your argument about the complexity of automation (someone could just fix the motors every once in a while if some are borked), I also see your point that as sort of a bread-and-butter ship, the California class might be designed as a KISS ship for its application, whereas maybe something like an Intrepid class, if expected to go into battle, might have an automated system.
It’s the Cerritos, so maybe there is a motor system like that but broken at the moment.
I think this is a sensible one. It means crew could e.g use their antique toothbrushes without some risk of blowing up the ship, but stuff like that might not work in some quarters. (I’m assuming a section of crew quarters is all run off an EPS tap, so stuff should be fine in most cases.)
I imagine that the Cerritos is not the only ship to have this, though, so I feel like automating it would be useful across the fleet.
I would agree. But this is c/Daystrom Institute…
I’m guessing this is a joke, right?
It’s less about dd’s limits and more laughs the fact that it supports units that might take decades or more for us to read a unit that size.
If modern LTO drives weren’t so darn expensive…
