  • Not just stores, but inventory of goods in general. The thought is that resources spent on inventory are resources which could have otherwise been spent elsewhere. This line of thinking and fixation on Just-In-Time goods deliveries was one of the most important factors in the supply chain fuckery around covid, which only began to stabilize last year.

    excess inventory is waste. Always have a buffer to handle shenanigans and/or be able to source the next thing,and avoid being up shit creek the next time the TP truck is a week late.







  • I’ve always been a fan of the canon interpretation that anything other than the two nacelle pattern was because someone needed to compensate for something in the workload. Battleships (Federation-class variants, Galaxy-X) have 3 so one can get chopped off and they can keep on trucking, quads rotate through them to even wear/allow ‘sprinting’ for longer, singletons being 2 nacelles in a trenchcoat for cost/maintenance reasons (which explains why they’re often proportionally oversized), etc.
