[QUOTE]Originally posted by Futurama Guy: [QB] Well this point is almost interesting enough to resurrect this thread, moreso than the DS9 DVD thread. I know its not exactly about Enterprise, but, oh well... In "Explorers" while Ben and Jake were talking about Ben's first year at SF Academy, Ben said that during the first few days&weeks he was homesick and that he would transport home every night at 6pm for dinner as if he was still living there. Jake then said, "You must have used up a months worth of transporter credits", apparently suggesting that on Earth each person/family has an allotment of 'transporter credits' per month. Maybe this opens up a few doors on those topics. I guess the questions would be why there would be such an allotment on [i]anything[/i], as I cannot believe there would be any sort of shortage of power due to transporter consumption on Earth, considering how freely it is used aboard starships throughout TNG and beyond. Having transporter credits or even limiting or defining how many time you use a transporter seems to give the Federation a sort of Socialistic approach. [/QB][/QUOTE]
