Headscratchers / Star Trek Online

• How come the Kyrians haven’t encountered the Alpha Quadrant Alliance??
• Why does Tuvok, who had been promoted to admiral, have command of Voyager? Starfleet admirals are supposed to be desk jockeys.
  • Well, why does the player character command a single ship at Fleet Admiral rank or the equivalent in different factions' fleets? And lead away missions with only 1 other crew member at times? We could also say that when Tuvok needs to go somewhere, he takes his old ship out of sentimental reasons and because he's familiar with her systems and quirks. As Admiral Riker says in All Good Things, one of the advantages of being an admiral is they let you choose your own ship.
• Kal Dano. He has a timeship capable of folding space, it's Bigger on the Inside, it packs the punch of a battleship into the size of a scout- yet this one-man vessel takes 2 people (Kal Dano and the PC) at 2 different panels simultaneously to work one of the vital functions ("Future Proof", Sunrise mission). Since he normally seems to travel alone, how was this design ever supposed to work?
  • He operates one panel, then goes back in time and operates the other one.
  • The answer occurred to me; since Kal Dano is a Doctor Who expy and his ship is a TARDIS, he just runs frantically from one panel to the other when there's no Companion to work one for him. We've often seen the Doctor working the TARDIS by himself, even though it was evidently meant for a crew.
