1) We have a ship of 400 people, like a naval vessel every individual has a specialization. I'm sure that there's a flight deck crew, you know with pilots, yet everyone seems to grab a shuttle on their own, without authorization. Shuttle pilots must really hate the command crew.

2) I've said this multiple times, you have an away mission with the Captain and half of the senior crew on the bridge. So not only if something bad happens do you lose your whole command structure. But the rest of the crew probably want to murder the bridge crew for being elitists who take all of the good assignments

3) You can apparently do everything from the bridge with a touch of the button. Transport people, all communications, all engineering functions, everything. So again, why does a ship like the Discovery or Enterprise need a crew of more then 10 people. I'm guessing that the 390 other crewman's job for the most part is cooking meals for the bridge crew, giving their foot massages and cleaning their sphincters after a good poop.
I always wonder in these Star Trek shows...even the bridge crew, why are they needed? Future computer instant response and algorithms would command much better than living beings.

Oh there’s a time tsunami that’s going to hit them? Tilley has to tell them to get out of the way? No, in that time frame, the computer would already know, and would have already taken them out of harms way.
