A Video Shame, but if you have actual IRL Trek-positive nerd friends this looks like it could be amusing; http://store.steampowered.com/app/247350/ A bit like that iOS Spaceteam game but slightly more serious: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/spaceteam/id570510529?mt=8

does trek ever try to give an answer besides plot reasons why it's the bridge crew that beams down? like wouldn't you want naval officers to stay on the ship and use marines or something?

no its just plot. in fact multiple times they make a big deal about not sending down the most senior officers and then they completely ignore it.

Slaughterhouse-Ive posted:does trek ever try to give an answer besides plot reasons why it's the bridge crew that beams down? like wouldn't you want naval officers to stay on the ship and use marines or something? thematically, Star Trek is basically sailing ships in space; that's what underpins the whole "starfleet command can't respond for weeks, the captain has to make Big Decisions on his own" thing, and while it's silly for the captain to be constantly putting himself in danger, there have been sailing ship captains who got killed on the shore (Magellan and Cook come to mind) realistically, the budget only allows for so many people in the cast, you want the cast interacting as much as possible, so you use the main characters as often as possible, even when it sometimes makes little sense. TOS was in a really tight spot because William Shatner was commanding $5,000 an episode in 1966 dollars and there's no loving way you're not going to use him in every episode. from what i've heard modern television is able to get away with larger casts in part because the explosion of reality tv has sharply reduced the demand for actors, meaning there's a glut of talent that are willing to work on the cheap (well, as cheap as SAG allows, anyway) as for a direct answer, i don't think they ever had the characters say so; it's always implied that the bridge guys just happen to be the most qualified or something like that.
