[QUOTE="Mustrum_Ridcully, post: 8681787, member: 710"] Wow, I totally forgot that this view on humanity came from Babylon 5. It was my idea of what humanity's role really is in the Federation, but it seems my idea actually came from also watching Babylon 5. I mean, some say it's because humans might glue two warp cores together just to see what happens, e.g. they build crazy stuff no one else dares to. But I don't believe that, because that is really just a Star Trek trope, and not actually limited to humans. It's Worf that turns a communicator in a projectile shield, and Dax does a lot of jury-rigging stuff as well, Spock builds a plasma-seeking torpedo. Of course O'Brien, Scotty and LaForge do stuff like that a lot, too - but they are the engineers on their respective ships, it's natural they do most of the tinkering. But in the end, it's really just part of Starfleet training (and more so if you're actually an engineer.) [/QUOTE]
