* JerkassHasAPoint: Blaming a world for being destroyed is jerkish by default, but he isn't wrong when he mentions SuicidalPacifism can have devastating consequences.

* AdaptationalDumbass: Due to the rampant {{flanderization}} of the entire cast, each of the Mane Six are reduced to the traits that the author finds the most annoying: Rainbow Dash's egotism, Rarity's vanity, Pinkie Pie's hyperactivity, etc. This is done mainly to make them more of a burden to Starfleet as a whole, with their entire purpose being to show how much more awesome Starfleet are and how they need to shape up to be just like them (and also because he genuinely believes they're that incompetent). In canon, they only suffer from the occasional holding of the IdiotBall, JerkassBall, or ConflictBall, but are otherwise bright ponies that show a lot more intelligence than this fic would have you believe.

* ButtMonkey: By the ''boatload.'' They're always the race that has something bad happen to them, such as being belittled or shown up by the Space Ponies, having terrible nightmares, losing family members and, in some cases, [[spoiler:losing their own lives]]. On top of that, their canon capabilities are heavily downplayed, reduced to punches, kicks and laser blasts, and their competence is well below simply holding the IdiotBall, JerkassBall, ''or'' ConflictBall every once in a while. Even if the Equestrians get stronger, [[AlwaysSomeoneBetter they'll always fall behind the Space Ponies]].

* AdaptationalWimp: While the ponies in canon are by no means all-powerful, it's still a WorldOfBadass where the everyday pony is capable of incredible feats of strength, speed, durability and magic prowess, with the Mane Six themselves being among the best in their respective categories. Not so much in ''Starfleet'', however; even if their canon abilities are referenced, they'll always be overshadowed by the Space Ponies, and whatever powers they had either pale in comparison, or are utterly useless in a combat setting, forcing them into the role of "Lesser Starfleet".
