[QUOTE]Originally posted by J: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Guardian 2000: [qb]3. The speed of beaming large numbers of people is something I do need to quantify. It'll vary between large-number examples and some of the smaller ones as in "Descent, Pt. II"[TNG7].[/qb][/QUOTE]I think it's important to take into account the possibility of extra transporters being used at those times as well--- and extra transporters not being used. In Descent, for instance, the E-D was left with a skeleton crew, was there anyone left to press the buttons on the cargo transporter to turn it into a human transporter? Were there enough people to run the regular transporters? Also, when there are massive and/or quick evacuations [like that at the beginning of Generations] the other ship might be able to contribute to getting those people out. Remembering that emergency transporters are one-way [off ship] and they could be set-up for easy use by nearby personnel, because they are emergency transporters. PS: It's not Terra, it's Earth.
