Just some comments about “percentage of up” in a particular piece of equipment. I can’t speak for 22nd or 23rd century technology but in military equipment, they are able to operate in a degraded state. An example, a generator which is normally able to output X Kilowatts of power may have had some of the infrastructure around it degraded, wires or the like or itself damaged. Even operating in a “battle override” state, it may not be able to produce “X” power anymore and and can only be relied on for a percentage of that and either another generator needs to be brought online or things need to be shut off. Reduced power output also degrades the effectiveness of radio or radar equipment and can make for further degraded capability. It wouldn’t be difficult to apply a percentage metric to that.
On Deep Space Nine, I wish they would have had Next Generation go longer and have more crossovers between the two series. I really feel like having those two, instead of starting Voyager, would have been made for much better story telling with BOTH of the series.
