Wait, what's with the rat room, too?

I could believe the duck is just equipment that kind of looks like a duck, but that is a damn mouse

Nice, just saw this lower decks episode yesterday. Also, is that a DC-3 right of the rubber duck?

It's in-set in the hull. When it's deployed it leaves a space in that outline for it to re-dock

Edit. Found it. Its the aeroshuttle

The original statement as to not being able to replace them was silly, given federation tech. Really they should have at some point just had some throwaway line about having converted some facility to photorp production.

This argument always annoys me.

Of course they couldn't replace them IN THAT MOMENT, but they clearly made upgrades and changes to the ship as they traveled.

If they built an astormetrics lab, hydroponics bay, and a borg-enhanced runabout, then they could figure out how to build torpedoes.

We also see them at least once bartering for weapons and experimenting with new forms of warp travel and energy collection.

I'm sick of the torpedoes thing. We're grown-ups. We dont need a throw away line for every little thing that changes between day 1 and day 2k+
