I think that one is the most significant differences between the shows is illustrated by how they handle escalating a yellow alert to a red alert. Star Trek does so almost unthinkingly, but in Red Dwarf Kryten first questions whether it is the right choice with "Sir, are you absolutely sure? It does mean changing the bulb."

And then looking at the bulb mystified why that matters.
