One thing that bothers me a lot is how they do not connect the pieces, such as thinking about how your science connects to military action. One way of attacking a ship would be to bomb the enemy ship with big nukes, which would weaken the shields. Once they are weak enough, or down, transport a bigger nuke inside the ship.
No, I did not think of that by myself, in the german series Perry Rhodan, that's how they attack big enemy ships. Since in that universe transport is not so efficient as in Star Trek, they teletransport the nukes to as close to the enemy shield as possible. Stargate Atlantis also did something like that.
While reading these stories we often think, why they don't use X ? The reason, is of course, because it would end the story at this point. Conclusion, usually not a good enough story to start with.
