10 Dumbest Things In Star Trek: Voyager
6. Oh Yes. the Shuttles.
How can any list of Dumb Voyager things be complete without a mention of a shuttlebay larger than the TARDIS?
Voyager's rolodex of shuttles is a muddled mess of inconsistency that did two things. It highlighted the difficulty in keeping canon as canon for the sake of a story and also that the Star Trek universe was becoming such a large animal that it at times wrote itself into a corner that it couldn't get out of. Hence the Voyager Shuttle Conspiracy.
If one was destroyed in episode four you could guarantee an identical one would be available two weeks later. The Delta Flyer was introduced as the super shuttle to kerb some of this overuse although its revered status caused its own issues as have been explored in a previous entry here. There were shuttles that did survive multiple encounters Ex Astra Scientia indicates at least 10 were "definitely" lost with a further 7 probably lost.
As noted, the second Delta Flyer was constructed overnight so there's no reason that the same couldn't be said for Voyager although it is doubtful they had a vehicle replicator akin to that aboard the USS Protostar. The official technical guide even suggests that the ship would only carry two regular shuttles so fans might assume there are a ton and a half of spare parts somewhere. After all, Voyager does carry a spare warp core just in case!
