Like let's say after Kirk ordered Scotty to execute general order 24 and Scotty couldn't get back communication with Kirk because say for example anan 7 had Kirk Spock and the security people thrown back into a jail cell.

Scotty looks at the timer and they're out of time Scotty orders the enterprise to lay waste to the surface.

Let's say Kirk Spock and security people survived the ordeal and was rescued by the enterprise afterwards when they return to federation space what kind of problems would Kirk have had to face?

What do you think?

Like when Kirk told chekov to raise shields chekov said shields are non responsive Scotty said the automation system was overloading and all of that talking time allowed kruge to stabilize his bird of prey to return fire.

What if Kirk just has Scotty fire additional photos torpedoes instead of raising shields? Would the automation system still be overloaded?

What do you think?

I remember there was a line when they were in the nebula where Spock said the reliant outgunned then and can still outrun them makes me wonder was the enterprise already outdated by the time of wrath of Khan

Also what kind of provisions and armaments would a training ship like the enterprise have compared to active duty starships or when the enterprise was still doing their 5 year mission under Kirk or pike?
