Hi Tom, Exactly. Star trek is so versatile when it comes to story lines that you could literally do anything and still come up with something to bring everything back to normal to follwo the major story arc. Yesterday's enterprise is an excellent example where the player might find themselves fighting ships that would not normally be fought against. Good example by the way, and a good episode.
