Nope, and have never tried to be.....again I don't troll threads and insert crap about which I know zero about.
You don't troll threads?Take a look at your contributions to this one, and reconsider that statement.
We cant ask why some post crap that they know nothing about? And ADMIT IT!

Nanook, I am not sure why you are being so argumentative.
These lessons are not implemented as effectively as possible because to do so would introduce space constraint, weight and cost penalties which would be prohibitive to the customer being able to afford the ship.
The level of self defence, armour, shock rating, captivity etc is determined through a balance of what threats the ship is expected to see against what can be achieved within budget. It is rare for the absolute perfect best possible design to be produced because if it was then it would be unaffordable. I am not saying that the modern warships are not optimised because they are but that optimisation takes place within certain constraints.
I presume from your job you are familiar with the requirement for certain items to remain captive. The level at which they have to remain captive varies according to customer budget, customer requirement, mass of the item, location of item, criticality of item etc. Hence some items have a higher captivity requirement than others even onboard the same vessel.
I'm not intending to be argumentative, I'm just trying to discuss facts. There is a lot of nonsense being spouted in this thread, by people that don't really know what they're talking about it seems.These lessons are not implemented as effectively as possible because to do so would introduce space constraint, weight and cost penalties which would be prohibitive to the customer being able to afford the ship.
