Bobster Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 I'm also a big trekkie fan. I really hope they do make a series that is set after Voyager, it will be MUCH better than Enterprise. Don't get me wrong though, I like Enterprise but it's nothing compared to Voyager. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see what Starfleet does with Voyager's new technology, and how it copes with any future threats other than the Borg and Species 8472. Didn't they want to infiltrate the federation because they thought the federation was plotting against them? Or, how about a series that has some DS9 and Voyager elements...? :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Derf Veteran Posted December 29, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2004 And it's too bad Starfleet will never adopt it after Voyager brought the technology back to Earth, and will be lost forever in a massive plot hole. 585188732[/snapback] Perhaps Star Fleet brass decided to uphold the temporal prime directive and locked away all of Janeway's "illegal" technology.

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 29, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah. I guess that would be the right thing to do. It would be unfair to the scientists or engineers if starfleet used the tedhnology. I mean, they would be the ones inventing the technology/weaponry. And you know.. Starfleet likes to follow the so called "Prime-Directive". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldaccount1 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Forgot about this version of the Enterprise from "All Good Things" 585188608[/snapback] its okay---i just didn't like the fact that they screwed it up by ghetto-izing the warp system.

XP_01 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 There's one thing that's badly supported in StarTrek: The transporters! Why do they constantly bother to go to the transporter room if they can use a site-to-site transport? They don't need a transporter unit on the planet's survice or whatever, I saw them transport a few times directly from the bridge to somewhere else. Like Tuvok (sounds kinda like "to f*ck " :laugh: ) would say: "It's illogical captain" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So basically you don't need the transporter room at all, because you don't need one at the location you're going to. :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samoa Posted December 29, 2004 Author Share Posted December 29, 2004 I've forgotten all the various enhancements that Voyager did in terms of weapons. :pinch: But I don't think it's wise of Starfleet to ignore the benefits of such technology even though it may have violated the prime directive. ^ yeah it's rather silly of them to go to the transporter room when they can do site to site transports. But maybe to cut down on errors from occurring, the closer you are to it the better. Hell I wouldn't think they had it absolutely perfect yet.

With site-to-site transfers I would assume that they are beamed to the transporter room (even if they never materialize) and then instantly rebeamed to the final destination. Essentially it is like doing two back-to-back transfers (hence double the energy cost). The two transfers probably add some risk. If the odds are one in a million for each transfer then we're now talking about one in a half million for a site-to-site. Plus the people needs to be in transit for twice the duration which could add additional risk from molecular cohesion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XP_01 Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 Yeah it would be a rather inconvenient if you'd lose an arm or leg during the proces or if your feet are being attached back on your head instead of the regular place where they belong. It doesn't answer my second question tho :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yusuf M. Veteran Posted December 29, 2004 Veteran Share Posted December 29, 2004 (edited) Site-to-site transport involves following the conventional beam up process until the subject is in the pattern buffer; the subject is then shunted to a second pattern buffer and on to another emitter array before being beamed out to a new location. This process essentially merges two transport processes in order to allow a subject to be beamed from one location to another without having to rematerialise on board ship first. This process is avoided if possible since it requires double the energy expenditure and system resources to accomplish each transport. SOURCE The above information should answer some questions regarding site-to-site transporting. Also, there was an alien species in VOY that had the technology to transport anything to anywhere within 40,000 lightyears of where they are. I'll do some research and find out the name of the alien species. EDIT: Yes! I found the it! They are called the Sikarians. Encountered by Voyager in 2371, the Sikarians are a highly advanced and peaceful people who are legendary in the Delta Quadrant for their generosity and kindness to strangers. Their technology is in general in advance of that of the Federation, most especially when it comes to transporters. The Sikarians used a device which they called the trajector, a transporter capable of sending people or objects across distances of 40,000 light years in an instant. The field required to accomplish this is some ten billion times greater than anything Voyager could have generated, requiring a field amplifier literally as large as a planet. Sikaris has a mantle of tetrahedral quartz twenty kilometres thick, whose crystalline structure was used by the Sikarians as an amplifier.Unfortunately, the Sikarians refused to allow Voyager to use their trajector and although members of the crew purchased the technology from a clandestine group on the planet the use of the mantle as an amplifier meant that it was impossible to use the device once they had departed. In addition, the trajector used antineutrinos as a catalyst for the space folding reaction, a technology incompatible with Federation technology. Voyager was thus unable to use this technology to assist in its return home. No other species has been encountered which has this technology.

G4M3R Posted December 29, 2004 Share Posted December 29, 2004 New question: What ST technology would you most want to be invented soon? For me, I'd love a holo-deck and a repilcator at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
