[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Or, considering that the phasers overloaded rather easily in that episode, we might say that these weapons were really prissy primadonnas. Perhaps there would have been a risk of the entire ship blowing up if the phasers were fired in sub-optimal condition? So a man-in-the-loop system was created, in which a person sitting next to the machinery had to okay each and every firing. The "point man" would coordinate with a phaser crew dedicated to constant repairs and pampering of the weapon, and would decide when and whether to execute the firing orders, based on how his phaser crew was currently managing with the finicky thing.
