The Star Wars galaxy "devistated" by transporters

[Frank Hipper]

The Germans were well aware of the shorcomings of their jet engines, and combat operations took place in light of that awareness.
On the other hand, an Me 163 detonating on the tarmac was always a surprise.

They took reasonably excessive precautions with fueling those things, catastrophes were supposed to be avoided by following them.

The similiarities are becoming more obvious as you continue to give us information.

I know I'm coming into this a little late, but i have a few points to make.

First, I've seen the TNG episode where Picard says that, and i always got the impression that it was the power of the lasers, not their being lasers, that the deflector stopped.

Lasers are just high-intensity light. If these almighty deflectors can stop a warship grade laser, why cant they stop normal solar radiation. Why does the ship come in danger of radiation poisoning 3 times a season. Radiation is just light.

Next, the transporters. Ive heard arguments about exotic metals, but there is one falibility to all these arguments. ST:VOY, season 5, episode 20, Think Tank. Voy encounters a ship made of Neutronium, and Seven i repetedly beamed on and off the ship. Once while its shields were up.
And both the borg and the Jem' Hadar have repetedly been able to beam through shields. (Although the feds eventually stopped the Jems ability to do so)

But all this means nothing to the Empire. Massive amounts of ECM and ECCM would cause the same effects as a high entensity ion storm. Hell, it basically is an ion storm. And that has repeatedly been shown to stop transporters.

So, laser theory dead, transporter theory dead, and heres the real kicker.

I'm a trek fan.

Thats right, im the biggest trek fan i know, and i still think the Empire would win. It's all that damn logic. Something all these trektards forget.
They get all emotional and puffed up with their own superiority, they forget to be cold and logical like the borg and vulcans they love so much.


Buncha frikin noobtards.

Did you have something that warranted an almost three-week-old necro, or were you just leaving?

[Alien-Carrot]

Actually, I just got here.

And my point about beaming through neutronium was valid to the original topic. The rest was so i didn't have to create a new thread just to tell people I'm a trek fan.

So whats the worse offence. Creating a "Hi im new here" troll thread, or making a valid, and AFAIK, never before made, observation about transporters.

If you can find any reference to Seven beaming through neutronium, i will concede the point and never post on this thread again.

And i feel secure saying that, because i have read just about all the Wars, Trek, and Vs threads, and have never seen anyone mention that, in canon, transporters have been seen to be able to transpot through neutronium. Only the opposite.

It was an old necro, which is against the rules, and provided nothing that hasn't been said before. Making a "Hi I'm here" thread is not necessary either. Just don't revive a thread with something that hasn't been discussed in the past.

[chitoryu12]

I meant "has", not "hasn't". Mispelling.

Where was it said before? Because i cant find it, and i have searched extensively.

As i said, point it out, and i will concede.

PR 9: Do not post in an old, inactive thread unless you have something genuinely new and interesting to add to it. This is known as thread necromancy.

Why do newbies NOT read the annoucements.
