Let's be logical. If one doesn't upgrade their starship into the most advanced it can possibly be you're doing it wrong. I can't fathom anymore the mindsets of people who don't boldly go where no man has gone before. I have been stationed as an officer aboard the USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) for over a year and it's completely changed the way I view space exploration.
brb logical as hell
brb being Vulcan
brb eating a logical diet
brb stand out from the crowd due to my ears
brb setting phasers to stun
brb I just teleported
I used to stay aboard the ship all day calibrating equipment and playing chess against the starship's compute (the fact that at one point I beat it says it all really) and being way to logical. Almost as soon as I started working with Captain James Tiberius Kirk the bouts logical thought have almost completely vanished. I realized there was more to life than Vulcan mind melds and started going out with Nyota Uhura. Now a year later I'd consider myself almost human.

So why doesn't Jim follow suit? Why not have your ship upgraded? Why not settle down with a steady partner? It would only be logical to do so.
