Amongst other things:

1) Ben Sisko's old man, Joseph.

2) TNG era 'optional pressing of the comm badge to respond to calls or to instigate a call....otherwise don't bother and you'll get the same results'.

Oh, and whilst I'm on, 'optional crew' as well. By that, I mean you seem to be able to more than adequately operate a runabout by telling the computer to perform any function you'd care to (change speed/fire weapons/transport/communicate) and it does it. As long as you've got security clearance to use the panel, seems to me any old fool can fly a starship Why not transfer this functionality to say, a Galaxy class star ship and make all the crew redundant

Well that's easy, "Computer, fix automation" Failing that, "Computer, activate emergency Chief O'Brian EEH". If all else fails, point one of those twisty screwdriver things with a blue LED on the end of it at the problem and sorted!

How can you tell a computer to fix itself, if the very system that allows it do as you ask is destroyed. Thats like healing your heart several hours after it stopped beating.

Well, Tsukiyumi is correct, my post was very tongue in cheek but in the true spirit of the Federation, I shall offer the other cheek and conceed the argument to you Reliant We almost had a Hampshire Vs Essex war on our hands there
