Let's do a quick guide to what we know about it. I'll get it started with this:
The most important button on a bridge console is the big red "Compensate" button, which has almost magical powers to do the improbable. I've always wondered why we don't see this big thing that looks like Staples' "easy button," except it says COMPENSATE
"If you can't take a little bloody nose, maybe you ought to go back home and crawl under your bed. It's not safe out here. It's wonderous, with treasures to satiate desires both subtle and gross... but it's not for the timid." Q, Q Who
Transporters dispite being a "safe" everyday mode of transport have a worse safety record than an american made car.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
... and are less reliable than an American auto mechanic!

The main deflector, despite being designed to project a navigational deflector field, is secretly capable of emitting anything. Particularly plotitons.
Dispite starfleet's high standards to get in, they seem to kill off personel at such a rate that fifty years only hicks and retards will be left in the federation! I'm sorry but they need to make a green shirt and stick the stupid people in them for cannon fodder!
No matter how many times power has been lost a/o crippled on a Starship, there will always be emergency or auxiliary power which appears magically in order to effect the dramatic technological solution...
As long as there's at least five minutes of airtime left.
As a corollary, such "total" power losses can never have an effect on certain systems which require that power - life support, lighting, annoying computer announcements, SIF, etc.

What do we know about Starfleet's tech?
Stay away from warp cores.
Stay away from transporters.
Stay away from the holodeck.
Stay away from computer consoles.
Stay away from.....in fact, just stay away from the whole damn ship.

And if you need something done that can't really be done, jsut invent a particle! Violate the laws of nature, no problem - it's yours to do with as you will!

The GCS is also capable of firing an energy beam from the Captain's Yacht and a phaser beam from it's forward torpedo tube!

Rochey - that was without question the greatest link I've ever followed in my life, or ever will. I literally sat here in front of my PC laughing out loud to the point that the dog came to see if I was OK.
The bit about Voyager's resemblance to something else, and the real reason for Jeri Ryan's addition to the cast... hi-f$@#*ing-larious.

I like the doors that open automatically - except when you're making a dramatic exit at which point they will only open a second before you turn to walk out.
Oh, and a food dispenser that can supply food from 100 different worlds - but only if you specify the temperature using the metric system.

Thank you.
He's done a few other Trek songs. The only other one I can find at the moment is Screw the Ocampa, which is the story of Voyager from the view of some poor unfortunate sod stuck on the ship.
