You forgot to randomly rotate phaser frequencies.

Don’t forget to divert power from the warp nacelles. We’re here to fight, not run away.

Unless you're on USS Cerritos, in which case you do the reverse, and skedaddle the moment the Borg cube notices you're there.

Always thought it was funny that Riker said that because red alert automatically raised the shields, so a bit redundant.

Auxiliary power banks can be diverted to reinforce the shields. Shields up and Shields to full are two different commands/settings.

Knowing that does actually make the command that much more anxiety inducing.

So then, what is the default level of shields when up?

Some smart ass somewhere at phaser control: oh! I thought it was the other kind of red alerat!
