My idea is simply to have a button with a random effect that can be used only once per episode. It's essentially the technobabble button. It's essentially the bridge officers talking with eachother and making stuff up as you see on nearly every episode of the shows. What exactly your bridge officers discuss is more or less irrelevant. What is relevant is that it gives you some kind of random effect that's fairly context sensitive. For instance, it might be a minor, say 5% damage resistance increase against the energy weapon type being used by the main antagonist in the episode. Or it might be a 10% higher chance to get critical hits for five minutes. Etc. Nothing god like or overpowered, just a random boost.
Or I could be completely out of my mind...
