Star Trek's complete idiocy with data backups

[JasonJ]

You'd think so. Isn't it just a warp cor breach? If so, warp core breaches seem like the easiest thing in the world to happen.

Yep... seems to me you wouldn't even need to sacrifice yourself. Just set a case full of phasers to overload... beam out. Could probably put those things on a timer too. Or do a quick programming script to run against the warp core containment program...

run disable containment field
set power_output=300%
set t - 600 seconds

Then run like hell to a shuttle or transporter pad.
