Why did starships not have stairs?

It was easier that way.

>>85567126
because they had chutes and ladders

Time to go to space..

inefficient use of space

Why would you need stairs? There's no gravity in space.

Because they are starships, not stairships

Why are starships corridors filled with fuck heavy beams that fall onto peopl? Why are control panels loaded with explosives?

>Why are starships corridors filled with fuck heavy beams that fall onto peopl?
because it's a vessel and structural integrity is very important
>control panels
everything has plasma running through it so it explodes occasionally

>>85567126
Stairs take up a lot of space. They had ladders.
Also, it's more expensive set piece.

I just find it funny how after the slightest amount of damage they just instantly kill whoever is using them at the time. Why is the Federation still using shitty Chinese bootlegs hundreds of years in the future? You think they could do with fixing such a flawed system

>>85567126
or seatbelts

>>85567126
That had the Mohammed Tubes or something

do people still pee and poop in the 24th century?

>>85568362
There is one toilet on the Enterprise but it might just be for guests

>>85567126
For the same reason normal ships don't have stairs.

>>85567386

Stairs are ableist. The Federation is a progressive organisation, shitlord.

They beam poop into space directly from their colons

You know exactly why it happens. It's to make battles exciting. This first happened in the Kobayashi Maru scenario in STII. It didn't happen in the real battles in that movie except when the Reliant bridge took a direct hit and after that, when the ship was crippled by a massive volley. After that it spread to TNG and the rest is history.

decompression dangers I imagine, probably why every section of jefferies tubes had doors to seal that section. It would be weird and inefficient if every section of stairs had doors you had to go through

>>85567126
They had elevators and hundreds of meters worth of crawlspaces. I don't get why they couldn't have just made fewer normal sized service corridors with more panels in each one.
Also, Quarks Bar had a spiral staircase. Not a star ship, but close enough.

They have automatic doors though. How would it be different from going in and out of the Jefferies tube?

>There is one toilet on the Enterprise
There's one bathroom on the bridge. Every one of the quarters have a head as well.
How many toilets were in battlestar galactica, farscape, b5, firefly, or any other sci fi franchise?

>>85570870
>farscape
A lot, actually.

>>85567126
They have turbolifts and Jeffries Tubes.

>>85570870
BSG had giant locker rooms with toilets for everyone

You'd never make it in the 24th century.

What a bunch of backwater plebs. They deserve to explode tbqh

> Using recycled waste for the food replicators

This is why people complain about eating replicated food, they know they're eating reprocessed shit.
