[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sol System: [QB] I think there are more interesting things to do with transporters in a combat situation than beaming up or down troops or supplies. You could use the transporter to spread things like antipersonnel devices or autonomous spy drones over wide areas. If the beam is scrambled, well, you've only lost some equipment, and you don't have to risk losing any shuttles. (Example: the Son'a distribution of their little flying things. But they didn't have to worry about an advanced army on the ground.) Or you could develop some kind of chemical with a distinct molecular structure that's easily detectable from orbit and use the transporter to dump it all over the battlefield. Anywhere the chemical is damaged represents some sort of impediment to transporters, and everywhere it is intact is, at least for the moment, safe for beaming. [/QB][/QUOTE]
