@Hellblade8 I never mentioned speed. In this case, the ship was clearly within 100 meters, the CO specifically said to get extremely close, as in less than 1 ship's width close, and they need to get even closer to lock on torpedoes and fire them.
I have listened to the dailogie of other episodes, which show ships closing within a few kilometers. It makes sense from an entertainment perspective, not a military one.

@Hellblade8 -You could drop a nuke on a modern destroyer and vaporize it, but you'll never manage to make the consoles explode in the manner of Star Trek. Computers don't blow up. Occasionally a Li-Ion battery will burst into flames, but there are no C4-style explosions. If the power grid is that horribly designed, it should be replaced with a 21st century one.
-Picard specifically warns his crew about hitting the warp core with phaser rifles, as that will destroy the ship.

"exploding consoles"
Um, you can only stop so much with a surge protector.
"lack of seat belts"
Granted
"reactor...taken out with a shotgun"
The Defiant has a shield over its reactor. It in fact needs that to keep it from roasting anyone in the room alive.
"weapon ranges"
Trek visuals are always closer and slower than what they actually are. The ships are typically engaging at hundreds, typically thousands of kilometers. Listen to the dialogue sometime. And moving at .25-70c.

Red Squad sucked. It was full of a bunch of pricks.

Starfleet really needs to stop constructing bridge consoles out of explodium.
