Didn't "Booby Trap" have LaForge all annoyed because the computer closed the running program in order to save energy? That would imply it has no isolated power source.
Or the other way around, per your idea - it might indeed have a separate power supply, which can be funneled to other areas if needed.
By amazing coincidence, they finally addressed this issue in yesterday's new episode of PICARD.
Episode 4: "No-Win Scenario."
TWOK had a battle in 3 dimensionsThat always annoyed me about Star Trek, that space is three dimensional yet every encounter or battle is played along a flat plane

Yup. The fact that one has it as a stand out is strange.The one rare exception.
Battles in space would have ships firing in all directions up and down not just along a flat plane as if they were on an ocean.
And even that one was arguably two dimensional until Spock reminded Kirk space was three dimensional.TWOK had a battle in 3 dimensions
Because the galaxy is flat, and when they go somewhere, it's usually along the galactic plane.That always annoyed me about Star Trek, that space is three dimensional yet every encounter or battle is played along a flat plane
As soon as the ships get close to each other, they do fly above and below each other. And of course they fire while they do that. Just because you see 2 ships lined up to each other does not mean that line can't have any angle, even perpendicular to the galactic plane.The one rare exception.

"All Good Things..." had the future Enterprise come up under the Klingons.
To me it kind of does…an artificial reality in a constant state of flux would be like dirty power of a generator used to recharge internet devices—just don’t.VOYAGER said in "PARALLAX", if memory serves, that the holodeck grid power was incompatible with the rest of the ship. Which never made a lick of sense, honestly.

The Galactic Plane is the plane where most of the mass of the galaxy, consisting of stars and other astronomical objects, is located. It is approximately 100,000 light-years in diameter and 1,000 light-years thick.
One way I could understand it being independent and incompatible, even though it doesn't make a bit of sense, is that:
- A way to isolate the Holodecks as a sanctuary/safe room. Both holographic doctors and other needs could be tended to in a disaster situation.
- A way to make sure anything created in the Holodeck can't affect the rest of the ship after the Moriarty situation aboard the Enterprise. Since the Holodeck seem capable of creating sentient programs, any possible takeover of the ship by a holographic entity could be isolated to the Holodeck by keeping the systems separate.
