don’t you think that the type of space anomalies that the hero ships encounter on a weekly basis would have killed them without time to react or overwhelm the ship in short order? those anomaly radiations or gravimetric fields or chroniton distortions etc.
i would’ve assumed it would be like the uss intrepid from tos where they got destroyed by the space amoeba.
Which makes me wonder how the nx-01 could survive what it did since we see 24th century computers barely able to react to anomalies in time. Im
what do you think?

Starfleet has now hundreds of year of experience of space exploration, and depending on the member races or allies even has limited access to thousands of years of experience. Regulations and safety protocols exist for a reason, they are usually written in blood.
There is a reason why Starfleet has such a large exploration / research arm, far bigger than any other galactic power.

Often the vessels we see encounter these things are the second vessel on the scene or fall victim to the anomaly themselves.
To answer your question, yes. That is why most classes of exploration ships only have a few of their original line remaining. Of the first generation of Constitution Class and Galaxy class ships, for example, almost none survived to refit.
Very clearly not. Starfleet loses a number of ships, but the records are clear on how many successfully negotiate the various dangers of space.
Doesn’t really matter what anyone thinks about it, it’s evidently true that the hero ships we see regularly have managed exactly as well as that they have. The question is leaning real hard up against Rule #2.
