[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] For the record, they beam directly to the bridge in "Web", and to engineering in "Glory". There's no explicit pad-to-pad in any of the TOS episodes (although it's implicit in "Tribbles"), nor in the TOS movies (although the dialogue is suggestive of pad-to-pad at least in the last trip of Commander Sonak), until ST6 rolls along - and suddenly it seems that pad-to-pad is the [i]only[/i] possible way to do ship-to-ship! I don't know if ENT ever did pad-to-pad. In terms of real-world chronology, the first instance was probably "A Matter of Honor". The first explicit Starfleet-pad-to-Starfleet-pad transport doesn't come until "Realm of Fear", although it's probably implicit in all transfers from "Where No One Has Gone Before" on, even though we only see one half of them. ("Encounter at Farpoint" doesn't count: no doubt McCoy used a shuttlecraft or went spacewalking!) Come to think of it, we practically never see transporting between two Starfleet pads, unless it is a weird emergency such as in "Realm of Fear". DS9 does much more pad-to-pad between transporters from two different cultures than any of the other shows, but even there the circumstances are often exceptional. Pad-to-pad is not at all as common as it may appear at first glance... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
