The biggest engineering thing that I see repeated that doesn’t make any sense is when they are fighting the Borg. They set their phasers to randomly change frequencies to avoid them adapting. They still adapt.
What the fuck? This should only work a couple times before the Borg know how to counter every frequency the phasers can use but it happens literally every time they fight.
The borg seem to not be able to adapt to everything at once which is why holodeck bullets worked that one time and phasers initially work, so presumably between encounters with starfleet they fight other things that force them to adapt away from resistance to starfleet weaponry and starfleet in kind change their phaser frequencies so the borg can’t just re-implement the resistance they gained last time.
Maybe it’s not that the Borg adapt to every frequency, but rather they figure out the random generation algorithm so that they can anticipate the next frequency used. Reach time they need to use a new method of generating their randomness.
