I do agree that the idea of the Prime Team does make a lot more sense and would likely be how that sort of situation would be handled. Thanks for the comment!

However, for legal reasons, the Star Fleet Universe (as it is called) had to separate itself from canon trek some years ago (before the movies, I think). The concept of the "Prime Team" did fix one rather silly thing about the old show: Why did the top three or four people on the ship always beam down to the dangerous newly discovered planet? Now they have highly trained, but ultimately disposable, people to handle that for them. Prime Directive was, as you say, based on the Star Fleet Battles starship combat game.
