Baroners disruptor overload goes to anywhere on the location "here". changing that to present would make his download pretty weak.

The -rules that stuff is downloaded to "here/anywhere at the location" are in place since the beginning (=1999, 22 year ago), changing rules because some didnt knew them and don´t like them is a bad Idea imo, both because the new ruling would not nessecarly be better and 2nd because unnessecarly rule changes confuses to all the other who already know them.

can you interrupts to present?

[Mr.Sloan]

can you interrupts to present?

yes. since "here" means anywhere at the location, it might also be downloaded to a spot present to someone or something.

I think I agree with Gerald's every word. At least at first sight. But. Are we sure there were no good (or bad) reasons to word the rule like that? One or two cards that otherwise wouldn't function? Since it doesn't make Trek sense, it's bound to gave made some other sense back in the day.

Well, then. With Baroner's we have the first example of what I feared.
This is a newer card, though. There's bound to be others, and older ones. So while I feel that a rules change might be in order on some points, my main beef will probably be: if it breaks more -- or unknown -- things, better to "leave well enough alone".

If it were changed to 'present', any personnel who a ship while on a planet surface would mean the ship is landed, right? And if they while on a ship, would the new ship then be carried aboard like a shuttle? How do you take off / launch them?

[Ensign Q]

i think its pretty obvious that cards that dont end present with anybody (non-personnel, non-equipment cards) can play to the location. former should SD to present.
