Then you've just cluttered up valuable floor space in the shuttlebay with a ship that is only used on special occasions. Blank space on the exterior of the ship is much easier to come by.
Have you seen the size of the Galaxy Class Shuttle Bay's?
One dedicated Parking Spot out of literal hundreds isn't going to phase anybody.
You seen the size of the Intrepid Class Shuttle bay? The Delta Flyer barely fits out the doors.
Perhaps, but it also shows that Starfleet has the resources to spend on equipping it's ships with Captain's Yachts, and it also ties in to Roddenberry's "Technology Unchained" idea for TNG.
That's what happens when you design a Shuttle that wasn't designed to fit through those doors.
Remember, the Delta Flyer was made in the Delta Quadrant by the Senior Staff, it wasn't designed by the Design Team who made the Intrepid Class and those Shuttle Bay doors.
There are better ways to do "Technology Unchained" without having to do a one-off model of a "Captain's Yacht" that is unique to each StarShip class.
That just increases the Logistics Burden of the Shuttle Maintenance staff for very little gain.
If the Shuttle was one of the standard classes that was supported on the ship, and the only difference was the interior furniture layout, then the Logistics Burden wouldn't be very much.
Maybe she was turned down for promotion because she would have made a really lousy captain and she latched onto this whole, "they will not promote me because I'm a woman" thing because she couldn't admit to herself that she sucked. Sort of like how Kevin Sorbo thinks no one will hire him because he's a conservative, but in reality, it's because he is a misogynist who is historically and notoriously difficult to work with and for.

It's in an exclusive gang along with TFF and TNG Season 1.
I love TNG season 1. It has it's flaws, but I love the pure "gene-ness" about it. It could never have gone on for 7 seasons, but I'm glad we have it.
As for boring, in S1, Balance of Terror, Mudd' Women, and even Man Trap can get sleep-inducing. EMpath did that to me as a kid. Might still, today, but that's the only S3 I can think of that would.
And I LOVE Spectre for its execution. Great, weird acting by the guests, great weird atmosphere overall, superb music. I really think it's one of the best in the series.

The Melkotians in that episode were certainly one of the weirdest and most alien species in TOS. A floating head with dangling tentacles that had glowing eyes and communicated by telepathy. That would be ingenious for Trek now much less in 1968.
It's a Star Trek forum? Check your reality at the gate?
Yeah, it's Trek. It's a universe where aliens pretended to be Greek gods and were worshipped as such 5,000 years ago. I can handle ESP being an inherited trait in-universe.
We all have our limits in suspension of disbelief.
Uh my original post wasn't against the idea of ESP powers being inherited in the Star Trek universe. I was just pointing out that, since it's a fictional concept, it's impossible to be sure whether the inheritance of ESP powers in Betazoids and Betazoid-hybrids follows dominant, recessive, or a fictional form of inheritance, unless we get in-universe confirmation.
I know, context is difficult
Sometimes context needs a shovel to the head.

No, that’s just Worf in the movie FARGO after being grilled by Frances McDormand’s Marge:Original makeup Worf from 1987 was more Klingon and more intimidating. Also creepier and more nightmare-inducing but still.
