I'd never be able to live with myself if I didn't point out the fact that the Enterprise was never a Nimitz class.
What are your controversial Star Trek opinions?

There are no Starfleet regulations that prohibit fraternization between the ranks.
And to also further the insane notion that officers/enlisted is a caste based thing...
People in a caste system are in that caste by no choice of their own. By birth, society, whatever the reason, people in castes never really chose to be in their caste.
Everyone in Starfleet... everyone... is there BY CHOICE. Tbis is for both officers AND enlisted personnel. That alone completely negates the idea that Starfleet has a caste based system, never mind all other evidence that also shows Starfleet is not caste based.
Most of the Galaxy class interior is unused, per the TNG Technical Manual.
Fraternization doesn't mean "don't hang out " the prohibition is there to ensure lack of favoritism and not damaging to good order and discipline within the unit.
You gonna pay for all those extras?
You're right.

CVN-80 is going to be the "Gerald R. Ford"-class
Most businesses frown upon it for similar reasons.
People are not going to take you seriously when you dismiss basic stuff because it doesn’t conform with your worldview.
The reactor shielding on those ships was good, but not impervious to kitbashed and improvised nuclear particle collectors. 
actually an interesting question. there was one of the novels that had it pretty much be the third. because the author approached it from the angle that any hybrid of alien and human would require a LOT of intervention, no matter how close they are, so a great deal of his DNA is from niether and actually completely artificial
but then of course in trek as a whole, it's pretty soft on this and it just kind of happens, with maybe some difference in length of gestation...

That's generally a good thing IMO.
Yes I know.
The fact that they adopt the old British Western Military system of Officer/Enlisted is a form of "Caste Divide" IMO.
Even if you volunteer to serve in it, it exists, it has existed for a VERY LONG time.
It's a unnecessary divide that could stand to be torn down.
Given how LARGE the Galaxy-class is and how few crew members there are, it's WAY too much un-used empty space.
That could be filled with more personnel & staff.
We've went on this argument for several pages these past 2 days.
If he really cares, he can go back and read them himself.
Probably the first wave was proof-of-concept, with later waves becoming much more mobile starbases. Then the Borg and Dominion came, and those plans had to be put on hold.
Whatever, dude.
Agree to disagree, because I just can't take this idea seriously at all.
to be fair, i am pretty sure the D has run into a least one nebula that tried to sink her.

Okay, whatever, we'll "Agree to Disagree".
Disco McCoy!
To be fair, he was conscripted from a pool of reserves. Starfleet wasn't drafting from the general civilian population.
Never seen an aircraft carrier fall down a flight of stairs before.
That should be entertaining.
