[QUOTE]Originally posted by Malnurtured Snay: [QB] Yes, I know. Of course, post-1100101, the number of transporter rooms went from 20 to 6. And if you'll notice in 1100101, at one point, with a line of people out the transporter room door, there are only FIVE on the pad waiting to be beamed out. Seems like some transporter operators needed to be slapped around a bit. "Hello, we're trying to evac the ship, beam as many as you can off at the same time, m'kay?" Also as regards evacuations, you've also got to factor in providing living spaces for the evacuees aboard ship. I mean, you could just start beaming up people six at a time and shoving them into the corridor, but it strikes me that there is probably some sort of procedure for the Enterprise to follow to accomodate thousands of evaccuees aboard -- i.e., setting up bunkbeds in cargo holds, cots in the corridors, etc. So while it might theoretically be possible to beam up 36 people per transporter room per minute (assuming one cycle lasted ten seconds, including getting the people out of the transporter room, and could bring up six people every round), bringing seven hundred and twenty people aboard every minute would facilitate some sort of "where we gonna put 'em" system beyond "shove 'em into the corridor" because at that rate, the corridor is going to get filled pretty damn fast. OTOH, consider that if the USS Arizona is getting shot up by Zeroes, the Enterprise could drop her shields and every ten seconds transport one hundred and twenty friendly crewmen aboard.
