Amongst other things:

1) Ben Sisko's old man, Joseph.

2) TNG era 'optional pressing of the comm badge to respond to calls or to instigate a call....otherwise don't bother and you'll get the same results'. :x

Oh, and whilst I'm on, 'optional crew' as well. By that, I mean you seem to be able to more than adequately operate a runabout by telling the computer to perform any function you'd care to (change speed/fire weapons/transport/communicate) and it does it. As long as you've got security clearance to use the panel, seems to me any old fool can fly a starship :) Why not transfer this functionality to say, a Galaxy class star ship and make all the crew redundant :)

What if you get you automation knocked out?

What then?

And repairs can't be enacted

Well that's easy, "Computer, fix automation" :) Failing that, "Computer, activate emergency Chief O'Brian EEH". If all else fails, point one of those twisty screwdriver things with a blue LED on the end of it at the problem and sorted! :)

How can you tell a computer to fix itself, if the very system that allows it do as you ask is destroyed. Thats like healing your heart several hours after it stopped beating.
