addressing soly the problem of the transporter inconsistencies and why not
transport from anywhere on the ship... namely why have a transporter room.
 
 
   There seems to be many problems with using the transporter. Scottie complains
 to the good captain that to transport him on the ship itself there are great co
mplications (he may be transported into a wall without the precise coordinates).
< I hate to mention this but > those of you who are familair with Dr. Who may
remember that he had a similar trouble transporting the tardis on "these short
hops".
   The question also arises ...." how are the coordinates arrived at? "
As we all know the teleporter has a limited range.... does the teleporter use
the enterprise as (0,0,0) and remaps the sector they are entering or is all of s
pace mapped and the teleporter can attempt to teleport across the universe but
just looses the person at the end of the range??????
any suggestions -- your all better read than I am..
