the plans being carried onto the ship instead of being beamed from afar
They were beamed aboard the flagship and then carried onto the Tantive. Maybe a bit of a stretch but there were similar stretches in the OT.
And that’s why I said that it wouldn’t be a problem in the OT or ST. Their genre is much more action/adventure where these sort of issues are brushed aside, but RO is more of a serious war movie. Even considering this, just one of these issues in isolation is forgivable, but three all together compounds the issue into something quite unforgivable, at least for me.
