Star Trek: Lower Decks

[TGLS]

its probably because the holograms can't be projected in all situations. ie radiation ect plus they are computer programs it depends how complex they are -the doctor took years to do surgery i would expect other technical fields to need as much, but simpler work like basic stuff could be done by a hologram. like say moving cargo or waiting on people in the louge-like what quark tried to do during his employees strike

Why can't you have one go through the years of study and just mass copy it.

or it takes a lot more to make each holo matrix
the data may be easy to put into it but it might have a limit on how many they can make or how much data it takes up. the doctor was part of the sick bay systems and had that big computer bank by the door that run the program-ie seska shot it in basic to disable him. i suspect its a question of computer power and hardware space on a ship like the uss doritors (jk) they probably are so run down they don't have the hard ware to run that many complex ones only basic ones. and remember that if you make it too complex its sentient and has rights and may object to doing the job it was designed for. it seems there is a level were you can build syntheic life weather ai robots or holos were they become sentient and have a mind of their own.

Well, I'll be really generous and say that's all true. Install a dozen in Starfleet Medical or some large site where you can fit tons of computers without power or space problems. After they're trained, stick them in a starship. You might even be able to mirror 1 hologram across several computers.

well im just giving a reason why it might be as they only seem to have one emh in a standard sick by -of course in picard its years later adn its a smaller ship but its got a lot less space for people you can stow a computer for the holos and this is later so the techs probably better at this point

I imagine so, I think as well the EMH was an experimental concept and hadn't expanded into other departments yet, but I can see other reasons.

Also, Star Trek Picard shows how useful Emergency Holograms are for privateers like Cristóbal Rios, it also makes me wonder if Star Trek Prodigy will do something with Emergency Holograms, or even have the starship they're on have a sentient A.I. like what we've been talking about here.

Like a data light.

Cerritos was build after Voyager. It may not have bioneural gel packs, but it certainly is not less advanced in terms of computing power.

In other news: Nobody buys Lower Decks internationally. It's a US- and CBS All Access-only. Given most everyone interested in Star Trek has used their free month for Picard and then never bothered to extend, I can foresee how Lower Decks is going to end up in history.

[TGLS]

It's a US- and CBS All Access-only.

And Canada.

true it is after voyager was built but that doesn't always mean its top of the line, for all we know voyagers tech might have been -and probably was mostly second stage of testing, look at the problems they had with the gel packs they had to switch most of the stuff over to standard because they couldn't replace them and they kept causing problems like when they got sick. plus there is also the question of how much did they put into the ship, tech wise. for all we know this ship is like the oberth poorly suited to do anything but get blown up or damaged. plus the ship may be designated for less important jobs so it only gets cheaper to produce tech and equipment. but i do hope its got some holo systems that can be used for some jokes. a good one i think is if they use a holographic object as a joke like a holographic object they need -not the real one-and it keeps moving when he puts it were he is going to work so its like his tools keep vanishing on him

I find it highly unlikely and unbelievable as a premise, that a ship that is built after Voyager, should have inferior tech to an Excelsior or a wartime-refit Miranda. What you people keep describing is either a massive (and absolutely stupid) practical joke or a situation I would expect from an overtly old or faraway, never-ever-having-seen-a-starfleet-dock-since-leaving, which makes no sense from top to bottom. It's a ridiculous position, even, maybe especially, as a premise for a comedy show, because it's nothing but exaggeration, instead of a grounded comedy. It's like the difference between Ghostbusters (1984) and Ghostbusters (2016). Both shows have a ridiculous premise and ridiculous characters, but one pulls it off by virtue of staying grounded, while the other is an over the top pile of stupid, that grows the longer you watch.
