I take it you mean the on-board simulation, not the corporate one?not feeling the simulation stuff at all...
I figure since it was from earlier updates, I don't need to use spoilers.
One of the problems I had was part of the weaknesses of the ship HD. The premise that the older units were always on and had no way to save. From a technical standpoint, this made a bit less sense to me. Older technology is often more energy inefficient. I would think that running the simulation, with some advanced AI, would be a drain on power supplies.I would have preferred, I think, if the ship's HoloDeck had problems, rather than it being the design of its day.
Here is my brain looking at other perspectives. One way the older one might have had that flaw by design is if the simulations were stored in some sort of volatile memory (much like some of our early computers), enduring offline storage might have been a technical issue.
Of course, if we didn't have that flaw, we'd probably lose some not-so-minor plot points.
