We’ve seen it many, many times: the ship gets into a firefight, takes a few hits, shakes around, and consoles explode (possibly taking an unfortunate ensign with them). Eventually the battle is resolved with our heroes largely intact if somewhat shaken up. If it was a particularly nasty battle, there will be signs of damage: scorches on the walls, deformed equipment, busted lights, and rocks scattered about.
All of that seems reasonable… except the rocks, which look pretty out of place in a spiffy 24th century starship. So why are they there?
And what’s with the electrical blowouts and explosions? There’s no need to run high voltage or plasma throughout the bridge, these are control systems, it should all be low voltage computers.
