I hear you there. It's always perplexed me since the Kelvin Timeline was introduced (JJ's Star Trek movies) that tech seems more advanced back in the 23rd century then it does in the 24th. It also perplexes me where they put all those damn phaser banks (the Enterprise-E, a Sovereign class starship and most advanced ship in the Federation as of Nemesis has 12-phaser banks and yet you see ships from newer series set earlier in canon sporting arrays like a laser light show). Sadly though tension and introspection don't get viewers anymore so it's the flashier the better. Good choice in battles as well, two of my favorites as well from the movies.

Kinda unrelated... but I miss the days when technology kinda forced the tone of Star Trek battles.... unlike Star Wars, they were more like lumbering slow paced naval battles with big payoffs. While its cool to see 36 phazer beams and 50 photons flying out of star ships... eh. I kinda miss the tension. These two will always be my favorite.
