TenForward: Where Every Vulcan Knows Your Name
/c/TenFoward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Hating someone off of their race, culture, creed, sexuality, or identity is not remotely acceptable. Mistakes can happen but do your best to respect others.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags. This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon' and fuck over our artist friends.
Fun will now commence.

What's the point of the arrival platform he stands in front of if he can just beam anyone to any part of the ship or from any part of the ship to anywhere ?
In my personal head cannon...
They can teleport from the transporter room to another spot and from another spot to the transporter room.
But they also don't need to immediately rematerialize people immediately (the pattern buffer).
My theory is that they eventually learned that they can teleport people from within the ship, to the transporter room, not materialize them, and then send them from the transporter room to wherever they need to go.
So the room is still important in a lot of ways but once they learned they don't have to walk there they stopped bothering.
That's the in universe head canon but as for what actually happened it's more likely to be what the other person said about it just being nicer for the story.
Memory Alpha basically says this is actual canon and cites TNG Brothers as its source.
