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.

The transporters don't kill you, that one ST:ENT episode with the invented of teleporters proved that
He had to get his lost son back into phase which died shortly after
It seems that all the stuff we've seen in star trek suggest the transporters move you through subspace and the weird transporter incidents are likely to just be freak subspace phenomenon that they haven't accounted for with the transporters
I mean to be honest the writers never really got a handle on how the transporter actually worked. Its mechanics were never as locked down as the various transporters in Stargate. We knew what their limitations were.
If transporters really work the way Star Trek claims there is absolutely no reason they would constantly get blocked by magnesite, random stones, atmospheric interference, or whatever the current MacGuffin of the week is.
Perhaps the things you mention really only interfere with the transporters sensor's in some way
Skimming memory alpha Magnesite does interfere with sensor and transporter functions but memory alpha doesn't specify if the transporter function interference is related to the transporter sensors or not
I don't see how random stones apply here as it could be any kind of stone and you'd have to be more specific, transporters can already discern rocks from people, i think i recall hearing something about subspace shadows somewhere but i cannot recall where i heard it so i cant confirm subspace shadows
